At $49.99, the Nari Essential is hard to beat. It’s one of Razer’s more affordable wireless headsets, with 16 hours of battery life, a well-made build, and simulated surround sound on PC, a feature that lets you pinpoint enemies before sneak up on you.
Good noise-cancellation can be hard to come by for $100 — just look at the Nothing Ear 1s.
