It’s a mix of weight and a comfortable fit. As we just described with our info about Turtle Beach and why they’re not on this list, having a decent headset is primarily about the ergonomic fit, but if it’s too lightweight, it’s going to move around way too easily, and slip off your ears. An average weight (of the products on our list) is between 11oz and 15oz, giving you enough weight to remain firm and steady, but not enough that it’s going to weigh down on your neck improperly.
