Beyerdynamic V20U USB Gaming Headset

The Beyerdynamic V20U is a wired gaming headset that connects to a PC or laptop through a USB plug and an integrated sound card. It is built for players who want virtual 7.1 surround sound and a noise-cancelling microphone without installing a separate audio interface. The headset weighs 200 grams and uses a 3.5 mm connector alongside the USB connection.

Upgrading from basic stereo headsets

Moving to this model adds a hardware 7.1 virtual surround engine and a retractable unidirectional microphone with its own volume control. The jump is worth it when in-game directional cues or clear voice chat become more important than simple stereo output. An in-line controller lets you mute the mic, toggle RGB lighting and adjust levels without leaving the game.

50 mm drivers and memory-foam comfort

The 50 mm neodymium drivers deliver a wide frequency range for explosions, footsteps and dialogue. Thick memory-foam ear pads and an adjustable metal headband keep pressure low during long sessions. The headset handles competitive shooters and multimedia playback comfortably, while the fixed USB power source means it cannot be used with consoles or mobile devices that lack a USB-A port.

Questions about this item

What USB port does the headset need to connect to a PC?

It plugs into any standard USB-A port on the computer. The 3.5 mm jack on the inline controller is an extra socket for other devices, not the headset connection.

Which step do people miss when enabling 7.1 surround sound?

After plugging in the USB cable, you must download and install the driver software before the 7.1 virtual surround option appears in Windows sound settings.

How do I replace the ear pads when the memory foam wears out?

The oval ear cushions pull off the 50 mm driver housings; stretch the new pads over the plastic retention ring until they click into the groove.
