Check out our recommendations that are available ahead of Prime Day 2024.
It runs for a solid 38 hours of battery life.
Prior to the launch of the Nova line, our top pick for PS5 users was the Arctis 7P.
One of the hallmark new features on the PS5 is the haptic feedback from the DualSense controller.
The Razer Kaira Pro adapts haptics for your ears via Razer’s HyperSense technology.
It’s equipped with Chroma RGB lighting effects that can be tinkered with using a mobile app.
PC players can also enjoy 3D audio thanks to THX Spatial audio support.
also makes for a great PC gaming headset.
That alone makes it an awesome choice if you have both consoles.
The Nova Pro comes with a base station that connects to your devices via USB-C. you’ve got the option to also adjust audio and other controls on the earcups themselves.
The synthetic leather earcups are ultra-soft, making it comfortable to wear for hours on end.
The SteelSeries Nova Pro is the best wireless headset for not just PS5 but Xbox and PC, too.
So if you’re looking for universal support, the Nova Pro is a pricey but wonderful option.
The HyperX Cloud Stinger Core packs in some impressive tech for a headset under $100.
Of course, that makes it a bulkier model, but it’s still a sleek-looking headset overall.
At 12 hours, it’s not bad, but plenty of other headsets easily double that.
Luckily, that’s not the full story.
Rather than use built-in batteries, the Stealth Pro features two removable, rechargeable battery packs.
Both last 12 hours, so you might get up to 24 hours from both on a single charge.
Like the Nova Pro, the Stealth Pro has PlayStation- and Xbox-specific models.
The PlayStation model works with everything except Xbox consoles, and supports PlayStation’s 3D audio.
Conversely, the Xbox edition works with everything, including PlayStation, but does not support spatial audio.
For that reason, we’re giving the PlayStation model our recommendation, but both are identical otherwise.
Love the reliability of wired connection?
Then the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro + GamDAC might become your new favorite headset.
It also includes a retractable microphone and on-unit volume controls for easy access during the heat of battle.
Wired headsets are almost always more affordable than their wireless cousins.
Astro’s A50 wireless headset is one of the best high-end options confirmed to work with the PS5.
Connecting the dock to a PC also lets you customize and save EQ profiles for use with PlayStation consoles.
It connects via the DualSense’s 3.5mm port and supports both game audio and voice chat.
The Pulse Explore headphones are yet another member of Sony’s PS5-specific audio devices.
The Pulse Explore uses planar magnetic drivers, which Sony says allow for “near-perfect” audio performance.
It also has multiple integrated microphones with AI-powered noise rejection for voice chat.
Using headphones while gaming on console is a great way to increase the sense of immersion.
They also support 2.4Ghz wireless connections on PS5, PC, and Mac via the included USB-C dongle.
Unfortunately, iPhones are one of the handful that do not support LE connections.
This filters out external sound, keeping you focused on the in-game audio.
The headset is also designed for use with Victrix’s excellent module PlayStation pro controller, theVictrix Pro BFG.
There’s also the H5, which has a slightly smaller 28-hour max battery life and less premium materials.
Meanwhile, the wired H3 comes in at the same price as the Pulse.
If you’re primarily a PS5 gamer, we’d recommend the Pulse over the Inzone line.
However, if you play a lot on PC, any of the Inzone headsets are great picks.
They utilize Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound to produce audio designed specifically for your ear shape.
It works quite well, but this feature is only available for PC.
You also gain robust control over your audio experience on PC with the Inzone hub app.
So, who would we recommend these headsets to?
PC gamers who also play PS5 would be happy with Inzone.
We’d recommend checking out Sony’s 650 Spatial Sound before buying the pricey Inzone H9.
Its audio quality is quite good, pushed even further with Sony’s 3D audio technology.
However, those with larger ears may not find the Pulse to be the most comfortable headset.

The unique gadget sits around your neck and essentially functions as a personal surround system.
