What's a good brand for whatever you use them for to play video games?

I don't know anything about gaming, but Sennheiser is a VERY good brand so I'd say find a pair by that brand that fits your budget and gaming needs.

What system (PS4, Xbox or PC)? Do you want them to be useful outside of a gaming context? And what's your budget?

An Xbox One isn't old, necessarily, and if you don't have it plugged into a 4K TV you won't really be seeing any upgrade by switching to a One S or One X variant, but around this time of year you might be able to find some sweet deals.

As for headsets, like the PS4 the Xbox One doesn't appear to support Bluetooth, so you're going to have to get a special kind of headset if you want wireless connectivity.

Top Tier:

Turtle Beach Elite 800X (~$250). Features: Bluetooth connectivity, active noise cancellation, 7.1 surround, charging station included. Can be a little finnicky to set up and get running properly, but the noise cancelling and sound quality are wonderful.

Astro A50 (~$300). Features: All the same as the Turtle Beach, but with the lineage of being one of the best-sounding gaming headphones for a long time. These also come with their own bluetooth dongle that could be a little prickly to set up.

Mid Tier:

Turtle Beach Stealth 700 (~$150). Features: Bluetooth connectivity, passive noise cancellation, surround sound. These are easier to set up than the Elite 800, but still require an (included) dongle, but have a lower quality sound than the Top Tier version, as well less premium feel.

Astro A20 (~$150). Features: Not-quite full 7.1 surround, but better build and sound quality than the Stealth 700.

Overall, I'd argue that the Turtle Beach's are more likely to fit your price point and prospective usage. The Bluetooth connectivity of both means that you can connect them to a Smart TV or other device for use when not gaming.

Buy an overpriced set of headphones at the airport.

Or, move.

Xbox sucks, trade that shit in and get a PS4. Your kids will thank you. MANY great games on PS4 that you can't get on XBOX.

I forgot to add: If the gaming TV is in fact a Smart TV, then you have a whole slew of options for headphones, because you can connect any bluetooth headphones to the TV, which will capture the game audio via HDMI or the console's digital output into the TV's digital input.

...how will the voice chat work?
