Tarkov Headset Tier List - Best Headsets / Headphones Comparison

Last Updated on September 2, 2026 by Samuel Franklin

This Tarkov headset tier list compares price and hearing range for players to find their best option. With the improved sound to determine enemy positions and reduced ambient noise the right earpiece equipment will improve your chances of extraction.

My recommendation for the best headset currently is the OPSMEN Earmor M32 Headset (M32) from Skier Level 1 due to its overall value while the Peltor ComTac VI Hybrid Headset (ComTac 6) is the best audio option although comes at significant cost on the Flea Market.

Hey, this was a great and informative read. Really appreciate this post. I decided to comment on it because as of the last wipe (current date September 16th 2022) they added a new headset called Comtac 4 and I was wondering if you could somehow include that in this same thread or make a new one with the same relevant information. I understand this is a big ask; its just that this is the most informative post about the game’s headsets that I’ve seen, and I’ve been playing for the last 3 years straight. Thanks for your time and effort. -cheers

  Hi Joey
  
  Glad you found it a useful resource! I didn’t play too much last wipe so didn’t get the chance to use the Comtac 4 when they released but I do have max traders in the current wipe so I’ve been using these non stop for the past 2 days so they can be added to the list. I’m glad I gave them a chance as they are a fantastic headset although very expensive so something best reserved when you have a solid base of funds and confident in your ability to generate Roubles each raid.

What about the ops core fast headset for the fast helmet. The storm trooper helmet with a face shield and headset.
