Yikes. Their best option is a meager 7 our of 10?

Surprise headsets marketed to gamers are generally sheit.

use your DS5 controller as a mic..
and use a decent pair of cans.
No need for big budget..

Beyer dt 770 pro’s are great bang for bucks.

i see this thread popping up every month or so.

also i wouldn’t ask a gaming forum for audio advice tbh. Do some research to the one i posted. See if you like it or not.. if you want to upgrade get a nice dac etc etc..
start simple imo. Then get more gear.

i just cringe so fing hard when people mention dolby atmos for cans or tv speakers.. or anything that is not speakers actually mounted on your ceiling for all that matters.

i would not game with a pair of cans tbh.
but not everyone has the space. So godspeed.

also avoid audiophiles they are the worst fucking kind of sub humans.

Anyone use the Sennheiser HD 660s with PS5? I read these headphones are easier to run, don't require an external amp etc.

 

[Dust-by-Monday]

Sennheiser IE 100 Pro is what I use. They sound incredible.

I think those are 150ohms. I am assuming you would be planning to drive them via the dualsense. I suspect the dualsense was designed for a lower impedance so those might work but volume could be limited and the sound quality not as full with a proper amp. I have only tried up to 50ohm headphones direct connect and those sounded OK. Would need to do some research into the driver in the dualsense to say better.

Not sure if the controller will power 150 ohm headphones fully.

I have this one: https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-7x

I use it for both the Series X and the PS5 and I'm very happy with it.

If you want to only use the headset for PS5, I think this is a great buy: https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-7p-plus?color=black

For closed back
Beyerdynamic mmx300 gen 2

For open back
Epos hd6 pro
Or
Audiotechnica

I have the Pulse 3D headset. I think they are very good and provide excellent audio for the price point. I also have Sony's WH-1000 xm4 and they are far superior, but also very expensive.

I have pulse 3d and sony xm3. I find pulse less comfortable at first and more later since these are not as warm as xm3 and dont clamp as much.
And pulse 3d is better for home usage. xm3 have so much bass to overcome the commute/city noise

Yeah, I use Pulse headset only at home when playing on my PS5. They are not for outdoor use. Xm4 is way more versatile, more comfortable and the noise canceling is a godsend when outside. But as I said in my previous, they are way more expensive than Pulse headset and thus, are more premium.

What about these babies?

Amazon.com: Sony WH1000XM3 Noise Cancelling Headphones, Wireless Bluetooth Over the Ear Headset – Black (2018 Version) : Electronics​

I use the XM4 headphones version which I think are similar and wired with it powered on to noise canceling it sounds pretty amazing , I got Steel Series 7X that I use also with usb dongle but wired on Sony XM4 blow it away but you need to go wired to controller.

Wario64 just posted this B&O headset On sale at BB.

 

[jaysius]

I use Philips Fidelio X2HR, stopped using the Pulse 3Ds.

These headphones sound AMAZING. Clamping force is a bit heavy though if you wear glasses, put them on some books though slightly wider than your head to loosen it and enjoy some of the best not super expensive headphones around.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Steelseries Arctis Pro + GameDAC are amazing with the ps5.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Astro A10 it's wired and $50 but it plugs into the controller fortunately.
