Good headphones or earphones are an integral part of the gameplay. High-quality earphones will give you a crisp sound of enemy footsteps and vehicles. This will give you an edge over the other players. You can find decent quality earphones in the range of Rs 500 to Rs 1000. However, purchasing headphones is always recommended over earphones.

#2 Wired or Wireless?
