One wired headset that plugs into almost everything is often all a gamer needs, and that is where the TUF Gaming H3 fits. It uses a single 3.5 mm plug, so it works with PCs, Macs, PS5, PS4, Xbox, Switch and phones, and a splitter is included for PCs with separate mic and headphone jacks. Inside are 50 mm ASUS Essence drivers in airtight chambers, with virtual 7.1 on Windows via Windows Sonic. The headband and yokes are stainless steel, the boom mic is Discord and TeamSpeak certified, and it weighs 294 g. This listing is the Gun Metal colour.
Key features
One 3.5 mm plug for most platforms
ASUS lists PC, Mac, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and mobile phones. On consoles you plug it into the controller or console's 3.5 mm jack. For PCs with separate headphone and mic jacks, use the included audio/mic splitter cable.
50 mm Essence drivers
The 50 mm ASUS Essence drivers sit in ASUS's airtight chambers, aimed at clear detail with solid bass. On Windows, virtual 7.1 surround is available through Windows Sonic; no extra ASUS software is needed.
Stainless-steel headband and cooling ear cushions
The headband and yokes are stainless steel for durability, and ASUS says clamping force is 20% lower than other headsets. The ear cushions combine protein leather with fast-cooling memory foam.
Certified boom mic with earcup controls
The unidirectional boom mic is certified by Discord and TeamSpeak for clear voice chat. Controls on the earcup let you change volume or mute the mic without reaching for your keyboard.
