Gamer Gear PS5 Pulse 3D Headset Headphones Console Hook Storage Stand Mount

Product Information

If you already own a PS5, just bought one, or will be buying one soon, there are just a handful of accessories that I think will help you have a better time with it. Beyond what I use, I’ve also asked the Polygon crew what they use, and you’ll find those recommendations mixed in below. This post may be updated due to availability, or when new accessories hit the market. Performance: In our testing, we found that the Razer Kraken Kitty Kitty V2 performed where it mattered most, with a weighty amount of bass presence and faithful audio reproduction in some of the best PS5 games available. The cable was long enough to able to game at a desk without fear of anything being snagged either. We were particularly impressed by the music performance, so if your streams are vivid with varying audio sources you should be sorted here.

We test every PS5 headset that we get our hands on for review. Not every model that we have passed our desks will be put into our guide. That's because we test headsets for overall audio quality, microphone use, gaming performance, and how they perform with music. We'll play some of the best PS5 games that utilize 3D audio to fully stress-test the virtual surround, too. Design: There's something that screams "futuristic" about the Astro A50 from the space-age charging station to the angular nature of the gaming headset itself. Pair that with some of the softest mesh cups that we've ever used and you've got yourself a consistently comfortable, and most importantly cool, then this is hard to beat. A lot has changed about the PlayStation 5 since it was released in late 2020. For starters, it’s easy to buy one now (sometimes for less than its original retailer price), after many months when Sony couldn’t keep up with demand. But more importantly, there are now several great PS5 games to play on it, a more robust online subscription with game trials, and semi-regular software updates that give it more features — all of which make the PS5 easier to recommend than ever before. Features: The dedicated charging hub has to be what makes the Astro A50 stand out the most. That's because it features both optical in and out, as well as USB to be used with as many different setups as possible. What is most impressive is the built-in mixamp which means you can adapt to different EQ levels on the fly so tuning for individual games on the platform can come across the cleanest.Performance: One word that summarizes how the Epos H3 headset performs is clean. The bass may not melt your face off, but it's certainly present and accounted for. It's a fine line for sure, and this PS5 headset walks that fine line excellently, which meant it could deliver on the low-end and the quieter noises strongly.

You’d prefer a sturdier gaming headset:The rather cheap build quality does pale in comparison to the more solidly built offerings from brands like Razer, Turtle Beach and SteelSeries. You enjoy strong bass when gaming: While the Epos H3 deliver a clean and balanced sound profile, the bass performance is far from the most impressive when enjoying high-insensity gaming. Start off with PS5 cables that come with 2 cables – the high-speed C-type USB cable for charging and the HDMI to connect with your television to enjoy the stunning graphics of your game. If you’re looking for a new TV, browse through our collection to find the right one for your needs and budget. How about a 4K TV that’ll provide crystal clear graphics for your games? Verdict: From a price-to-performance point of view, there's little that can rival the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ making it an easy top choice for those wanting the best overall PS5 headset this year. A long battery life is a must: For as much praise as we give the sound quality and performance of the Astro A50, the battery life leaves something to be desired for the price.Features: One of the most impressive aspects of the RIG 600 Pro HS is its dual audio connectivity. This means that you can pair the device via 2.4GHz and Bluetooth simultaneously. We've found this to be an excellent way of gaming with the headset on PS5 and PC, while keeping the option open to take calls and listen to music on our phones via Bluetooth. If a PS5 headset is wireless then we will test the battery from full charge to completely flat and compare the quoted performance that hardware manufacturers provide with the actual performance. With wired headsets, we test if the cable is noisy or not, how long it is when plugged into our consoles or controller, and the overall comfort with the cups on our ears. When buying a PS5 headset, it's important to note if it's even compatible with the console in the first place. That's because many of the best PS5 headsets will actually have two separate versions: one for PS5, and one for Xbox Series X|S. When buying, make doubly sure you're not accidentally buying the version of the headset for Microsoft's consoles, as it won't work on your PS5. What headsets do pro gamers use on PS5? Performance: The RIG 600 Pro HS excels when it comes to audio quality. With a rich, detailed soundscape and an impressively chunky bass profile, it provides immersion while gaming and much enjoyment when casually listening to music. Those 40mm drivers are working overtime to deliver sound that's among the best at this price point. The on-board mic similarly impresses, with crystal clear output that makes this headset a fantastic choice for online multiplayer with friends. The STEALTH Ultimate Gaming Station for PS5 is the perfect solution for storing all of your PlayStation 5 gaming accessories in one place. Keep your Gaming Headset, charging cables and wireless controllers charged, safe and tidy. It also features a Play & Charge cable just in case you forget to charge your controller and still want to play. This gaming station comes with a matching C6-100 Gaming Headset, a Headset Stand and USB charging cable.

What takes the best PS5 headsets to the next level is the console's bespoke Tempest 3D audio which is used by many of the best PS5 games. However, Dolby Atmos has now been added to the PS5 console, too, via a recent update. That means that there's no better time to consider a top-quality headset for new and existing titles on the console and to chat with your friends with a decent-quality microphone, too. This image shows the InZone H9, but the H7’s design is identical. Image: Amelia Holowaty Krales/The Verge Design: Right off the bat, we'll admit that the RIG 600 Pro HS's build quality is slightly below average. The cheap plastic of the headband (and the fact the cups hang loose right out of the box) doesn't inspire confidence. However, this is somewhat made up for by the plush cups and inner ring of the headband which provide a high level of comfort. Verdict: While the Razer Kraken Kitty Kitty V2 is on the expensive side of a USB headset, the richness of sound quality, comfort, and style cannot be ignored. If you're in the market for something a little different in your setup then this could be it. Performance: This console-first headset takes full advantage of the same 40mm audio drivers which can be found in the company's flagship Arctis Pro model for a much cheaper price. In every game we tested, including those that support Sony's 3D Audio, we were consistently impressed by the clarity and the richness of sound throughout, and that extends to music, too.

Built for a new generation

Features: There's a lot going on under the hood of the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro. At a baseline level, the hand-tuned 50mm drivers are exceptional especially when paired with the best ANC that we have ever experienced. That's not all, though. That's because Turtle Beach's "Superhuman Hearing" gets its own dedicated button and works in a much more elevated way than it has previously through controllers for the competitive edge. Performance: By and large, the PS5 Pulse 3D is every bit as impressive to use in 2023 as it was nearly three years ago at release. In our testing, we took note that the headset works instantly with the console requiring no extra steps to get into the game. Though still limited compared to the likes of Dolby Atmos and Windows Spatial, the games that support the 3D Audio sound exceptional bringing a new level of immersion to console gaming, but we found that music didn't carry over quite as convincingly.

Verdict: The Epos H3 isn't going to turn many heads, but it's so capable at what it sets out to do for its price that it is an easy PS5 headset to recommend for those who don't mind staying plugged in. Take your gaming to the next level with our range of PS5 accessories. The PS5 console has a whole suite of supporting accessories that’ll help you achieve the ultimate gaming experience. From DualSense charging stations to the immersive 3D audio wireless headsets, a sturdy PS5 stand, and a media remote unlimited entertainment at the touch of a button.

Note: If you wish that Sony made a more accessible controller, like Microsoft’s Xbox Adaptive Controller, Sony is actually already at work on Project Leonardo, which it debuted at CES 2023. It has a completely different design from the Xbox approach, but it seems like it’ll be a versatile option for people looking for more ways to play PS5 games.
