Best Headset in Escape From Tarkov

Are you looking for the best Headset in Escape From Tarkov to help you hear enemies near you more easily? Here are your top options.

In short, the best headset is the Peltor ComTac 4 Hybrid since it allows you to hear further away compared to other headsets. However, they are also extremely expensive with their price on the Flea Market usually being around 300k Roubles.

To compare headsets, we’ll use the headset chart posted on Reddit by user Mik8y.

Let’s go through the five best headsets in the game, to help you find something that can hear far without being too expensive.

5. MSA Sordin Supreme

Sordins can hear footsteps at 63/66 meters when the other person is walking/running. With an average price of 50,000 Roubles on the Flea Market, they are a great headset that offers a solid range for its price.

4. Peltor Tactical Sport

On a similar scale, Tactical Sports allow you to hear enemies on 65/70 meters when walking/running. They are slightly more expensive compared to Sordin’s but the increase is worth it.

3. Walker’s XCEL 500BT

The XCEL headset offers a noteworthy upgrade to the point where you can hear enemies 69/75 meters away when they are walking/running. While the upgrade is significant, they also come at an increased price, usually just above the 100k roubles mark on the Flea.

2. Ops-Core Fast RAC

The Ops-Core Fast RAC headset offers increased range and is fairly cheap but is only attachable to certain helmets. Specifically, it can hear enemies 71/73 meters away when walking/running and costs around 40,000 roubles at the Flea Market.

However, it can only be attached to the Ops-Core FAST MT Helmets, the LShZ lightweight helmet, and the Tac-Kek FAST MT Replica helmet.

Also, this headset has the advantage of reducing ambient noise, thus making it easier to hear footsteps.

1. Peltor ComTac 4 Hybrid

Overall, the best headset in Tarkov is the Peltor ComTac 4 Hybrid. You can hear enemies at 76/84 meters when walking/running, which is a significant increase even compared to the second-best headset.

However, the drawback is that this headset is extremely expensive with prices usually being around 300,000 roubles.

Similar to the RAc headset, ComTac 4 also reduces ambient noise and makes it easier to hear footsteps.
