How do you evaluate headset sound quality?

While lab tests with audio analyzers provide frequency response data, real-world listening tests reveal how headsets perform with games, music, and movies. Reviewers assess clarity, distortion levels, frequency balance (especially for competitive gaming), and spatial audio accuracy—factors that specs alone can't fully capture.
