I am finally upgrading to the PS5 Pro and really want a wireless headset that takes full advantage of the new console's power. I'm specifically looking for top-tier 3D audio performance and a mic that doesn't pick up background noise.
What are your current favorites that offer great battery life and long-term comfort for marathon gaming?
yo, congrats on getting the Pro! I am still kinda new to this whole audiophile world, but i spent a lot of time researching before buying mine cuz i didnt wanna waste money. honestly, for the PS5 Pro, you realy gotta be careful about what actually supports the 3D audio properly without lag. In my experience, here is how a few of the top ones compare:
So basically I think the consensus is that 3D audio tech is picky. PS5 Pro uses Tempest integration, so if it isnt tuned right, it sounds pretty bad. TBH I'm cautious cuz my last pair was not as good as expected...
Commenting to find later
Great info, saved!
> specifically looking for top-tier 3D audio performance and a mic that doesn't pick up background noise. ngl im in the same exact situation right now... just got my ps5 pro and my old headset sounds like its underwater compared to the new hardware. its so frustrating trying to find something that actually lives up to the hype without spending a fortune. i would suggest being really careful with brands like razer vs logitech tho. ive been looking at the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro for PlayStation but i am worried about the plastic hinges breaking. some people swear by the Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset because of the graphene drivers but the price is a bit steep for me. quick tip: make sure you check for a physical mute toggle that stays synced with the console... nothing worse than thinking you're muted when you dont mean to be. also check the ear cup depth so your ears dont rub against the drivers.
