Top 10 PS5 Headsets 2026: Expert Tested & Ranked

Customer Review: “The Razer BlackShark V2 X (for Xbox) has been a game changer for my gaming experience. The sound clarity is excellent footsteps, gunfire, and subtle background noises are much easier to hear and pinpoint, which really helps in both competitive and immersive games. The audio is well balanced and clear without being overly bass heavy.The mic quality is also pretty good. Teammates can hear me clearly with no distortion or muffled sound, which makes communication smooth during matches. On top of that, the headset is comfortable for longer gaming sessions. Overall, this headset is a solid upgrade and greatly improves both audio awareness and in-game communication.”

Customer Review: “I was skeptical when purchasing a headset at this price, but the Razor BuckShark ended up being a gem. The headset is comfortable and lightweight with just a good old-fashioned volume knob on one side. No fiddling around with finding hidden buttons.I feel the audio quality is quite good and has enough power for clarity. The high quality is about what you would expect, but very clear and suitable for gaming/normal voice audio.Finally the only thing that worried me was the fact that it wasn’t cordless and I wondered if the cable would be long enough. Well both the cable and splitter extension are quite long and I was happy the cable is soft wrapped.All in all a very good product.”

Customer Review: “Well i like the case they have, i like they are wireless, no need to conect a cable to the controller. They have microphone. Volume adjustment on the headset….BUT honestly I was expecting louder sound , I was using my normal headphones and those sounded better than these , these dont have so much volume or base, kinda disappointed, but well I still like themEdit: well after trying them for a couple of hours, they aren’t so bad, they really do cancel out any external sounds, I did have 1 time they disconnected but I just changed the wifi receiver to the front of the ps5 and it didnt give any problems maybe on the back it got over heated , and the sound volume is ok, not so loud good base, so I can say pretty good headphones from 4 I’ll give them the 5 stars”

Customer Review: “The PlayStation plus elite headset is really nice. The 3-D sounds incredible. It’s very comfortable. I play a lot. It’s very comfortable because my other ones sometimes hurt my ears. This one does not it’s a little pricing, but it’s worth it.”

Customer Review: “I’ve owned the Pulse Elite headset for over two years now, and I can confidently say it remains the definitive headset for the PlayStation 5 in 2025. The sound quality, comfort, and build are top-tier — truly designed with PlayStation gamers in mind.I also use it regularly on my PC, and it works flawlessly there too. The cross-platform compatibility makes it an even better value, letting me switch between my PS5 and PC without missing a beat.Yes, there were some connectivity hiccups at launch, but Sony has long since resolved those through firmware updates. Ever since, the experience has been rock solid. Don’t let the early negative reviews sway you — this headset has aged beautifully. If you want premium performance and reliability, buy this headset. You won’t regret it!”

Customer Review: “I bought these for PC gaming after learning these contain planar magnetic drivers for under $200. I have been very impressed. After a month of ownership, these have become my go-to wireless headphones, in addition to being a PC headset.Pros:Lightweight and comfortable. These weigh less than the wired headphones I replaced (Logitech ProX). The headband and cups are unusual, but they give a great fit without needing adjustment. I can easily wear them for hours.Connectivity. These headphones have so many options to connect, wireless and wired! The USB dongle allows lossless wireless audio; it should be your primary connection. The USB dongle itself has great compatibility; it has been plug and play without issue on every device I tested it with. With a USB A to C adapter, I can even use the USB dongle to get wireless lossless audio from my iPhone 15! If your device doesn’t have a USB port, you can connect with bluetooth. Bluetooth will be lower quality than the proprietary lossless wireless used with the USB dongle. A unique feature is to have both connections running simultaneously. I personally have not found this useful, but I can see the use case for console gaming where you want phone audio by bluetooth for music or videos while also receiving game audio from the console over USB. The last option is a wired connection by 3.5 mm audio (aux cord). I love this option for compatibility with in-flight entertainment on airplanes, and a few old devices that don’t support bluetooth. This is not a passive wired connection, you will need battery power to listen to wired inputs, and adjust the volume on the headset itself. You cannot utilize any other connection simultaneously with the wired connection. If you use a 4 pole 3.5mm cord, you will utilize the microphone in wired connections too. 3.5mm cord (aux cord) is not included.Audio. Audio is crisp and snappy. You hear everything. No really! Everything! Planar magnetic drivers have a faster response than traditional dynamic drivers; giving more distinct sounds. Lossless wireless audio is a big deal. I love listening to music with these just as much as playing games.Battery life. Not an issue. They claim 30 hours. I never had these die on me, but I am pretty good about charging items not in use.Cons:Microphone. The microphone is acceptable, not good. It does have always-running (software) noise filter; In my opinion this does assist with clarity. People will understand what you are saying; you just don’t sound good while being clearly heard. This is the sacrifice for high quality wireless audio, the bandwidth for the mic. For games it is fine, but I wouldn’t use this headset for conferences.Build. The design is actually quite functional, and style is subjective. I am happy with what was delivered, but there are alot of soft touch plastics in this headset. We shall see how long it lasts. I can see it scratching easily over time.Audio. Audio is shallow. I really like how these sound. You hear everything. These do not sound booming or deep. You will hear the base, it wont sound bad or tinny, but it wont boom. You may be disappointed if you expect deep and booming sound.Mixer and equalizer. Without a PS5, you have no control over the mixer/equalizer. Out of the box these are balanced flat. If you want to adjust your sound profile, you need to do so on a PS5. Once adjusted, the sound profile is stored on the headset. If fine tuning your sound profile matters to you, you need a PS5 or a friend with a PS5 to tune your headset.Documentation. The manuals included in the box are limited. There are plenty of features just not listed in the manuals. It doesn’t even tell you how to turn off the headset! You need to check Sony’s FAQ for this headset online to learn all of its features.System behavior. Two aspects of system behavior annoy me. First, the blue LED that indicates the headset is powered on, is too bright for its prominent placement in front. Second, this headset automatically powers off after a period of no audio input. This period is a little short for me, but the worse aspect is that it does not play a tone when automatically powering off. It can be annoying when you hit play on your music, only to realize the headset is off and needs to be powered on. Please add a tone on automatic power off.Conclusion: This is the best all around headset to buy, even if you use PC and not PS5. You get lightweight, comfortable, great sounding, and wireless headset with tons of features and the unique sound from planar magnetic drivers, for under $200. The mic, while not good, is clear/comprehensible. No software controls for PC may be a deal breaker for some people.”

Customer Review: “Absolutely amazing headphones. Battery life straight out the package has been good all day. Decent range for a wireless headset. Accessible buttons on headset. Great mic. With my old headset, my friends could hear my fan and me chewing. They can’t hear anything in my background with this mic. Great sound quality. Being able to change the game volume and voice volume is amazing. Raise mic to mute is one of my favorite features in a mic. I will say that when I first put them on, they were tight on my head but after about 15 minutes, they fit my head just fine. Comfortable.”

Customer Review: “After buying and returning maybe 4 or 5 different headsets this year only to return each one for some reason or another, this is the one that captured my heart. One month later, it still holds a charge, has crystal clear sound quality, fits comfortably, and (most importantly imo) has incredible sidetone/mic monitoring. I cannot use a headset without quality mic monitoring, and the TB Stealth 600 sounds so clear that I almost forget I’m wearing a heaset at all. Mic quality is great, wireless connection is great, audio quality is great. My only suggestion would be that if you’re like me and have a lot of long hair that sometimes grazes the mic, get a foam cover for the mic. Otherwise, 15/10 the best headset I’ve ever owned!”

Customer Review: “These headphones completely blew my expectations out of the water. I’d been previously using open ear headphones and a standalone mic for gaming, but got tired of fiddling with the mic and moving it around my desk, just for people to struggle to hear me. I also was getting tired of wires, so enter the wireless Artis Nova 5.Wireless Performance is absolutely fantastic. With the 2.4 ghz dongle I never have connection issues. Battery life has performed better than expected. I typically only charge them after 20 hrs or so of gaming, so it’s basically an afterthought.Sound quality is also better than I expected. The good news is it’s completely customizable via SteelSeries EQ software either on your phone or desktop, so you can tailor the sound and clarity to your exact application.Quality of the headset is fantastic. I would be somewhat careful with them, as you should with any lightweight headset, but they seem very durable for daily use. I’ve never had any issues after over a month or use.”

Customer Review: “I’ve bought several wired and wireless headsets trying to replace my old Astro A40 Gen 1s. Those things have incredible sound and mic quality and have lasted forever with nothing but new ear pads and a new cord. But I’m tired of having a wire running across my desk, so I started hunting for a true wireless replacement.I tried a bunch of headsets: some wired, some wireless from big-name brands, and while the sound quality was usually good, the microphones always fell short. Almost every pair I tested had the same complaint: “The mic isn’t clear,” or “you sound far away.” I ended up returning all of them. I even went through Reddit threads, YouTube mic tests, and a dozen “Top 10 Headsets” lists. I compared those recommendations to Amazon reviews, where even 4- and 5-star headsets often have tons of comments saying the mic is garbage.After watching real mic test videos, I decided to try this headset, and I think I finally found the one.The features are exactly what I wanted. It’s wireless, and it works with pretty much anything thanks to the Bluetooth and 2.4GHz dongle options. Switching between them is literally a tap of a button. The comfort band on top is a huge upgrade over stiff foam padding and keeps pressure off my head, so no headaches. And the microphone hiding inside the earcup? Genuinely awesome. It stays protected, doesn’t stick out awkwardly, and pulls out smoothly when needed.Controls are easy: a volume dial, a one-tap mute button, and a power button that only needs a couple seconds of holding. The basics are done right.Sound quality is great for both music and games, solid bass, clear mids and highs, and overall it sounds more like using my desktop speakers than a typical gaming headset. The real test, though, is the microphone. I hopped on Discord and asked the same question I’ve asked with every other headset: “Can you hear me, and do I sound clear?” For the first time in a long time, I got: “Yes, you sound like you always do.” Finally. Check.On top of that, the software gives you a ton of customization. You can choose presets, adjust EQ, tweak mic quality, and personalize everything from desktop, web, or mobile. It’s a lot more than I expected at this price.Battery life hasn’t been an issue at all. I haven’t charged it once in five straight days of use, including multiple gaming sessions each day. Even if it needed charging, that wouldn’t bother me because everything else checks out.For me, this headset hits every key point I care about. It’s not even at a premium price, but it performs like something that should be. Definitely do your research, because a lot of premium-name headsets have great sound but fall short in the mic department. This one finally delivers on both.”

Customer Review: “Quality Sound quality. Value for money, Works well, Wireless connectivity, Comfort, Battery life, Mic quality, all of it out ranks the logitec i had that just stopped working after 90 days.”

Customer Review: “I was amazed how much quality this headphone can give with the price point. It feels little heavy but sound and mic quality is amazing. I also love the RGB effect in it. Multi connectivity is awesome I used one for my gaming node and use the BT for my Laptop just to enjoy the headphones. I love the white and black in it. It has been over four months and I cant say anything bad about it.”

Customer Review: “This is a nice PS5 headset for a very reasonable price. The sound is really excellent IMHO. I read that the microphone was subpar but while playing online with friends I was told it sounded just fine. Turtle Beach has a winner here. Definitely can recommend.”

Customer Review: “PC experience.I have a pair of the wireless Atlas Air’s, so I was hoping for a good second set for another computer in the house. These are close. I bought the white playstation version, instead of the PC version. It does just have a TTRS connector, and my motherboard’s sound output wouldn’t accept that. I tried two different methods, one with a splitter and TTRS extension cable (because the cable length is too short unless your computer is right next to you) and also a USB to 3.5mm TTRS adapter. I have the USB adapter plugged into my keyboard and really like that solution better. The adapter was only 4.66 on Amazon here. JHAOUS branded.Overall the headphones are similar to the Atlas Air’s, but I’d say they get warm on my ears with a closed back. I wish they had the floating open back to let more background sound and ventilation in. Sound quality is fine. I do like the volume knob on the left.You can buy the PC version for 10 dollars more than the PS or Xbox versions, and it includes the USB to 3.5mm dongle, but only comes in black.”

Customer Review: “***Update: I had originally given these 3 stars per below, but after more time I’ve updated it to 5… The battery life and wireless range is phenomenal, both are so much better than my previous Corsairs! I was charging those daily, after only about 4-5 hours I’d get low battery warnings, but I almost never have to charge these, it’s insane how long they last… and the range is almost twice what I got from the Corsairs, I can roam all over and never lose sound! So just be sure to tweak the sound a bit as I noted before, and maybe about $15 of the price is simply for the brand name, but I’m liking these more and more with time!Initial Review:Ok, I’m really torn on these… First things first: myself, along with many others, think the sound quality is horrible out of the box! People that say they sound great I don’t think have experience with more expensive headphones and are probably moving up from $30 cheapos…First thing: After scouring Reddit and some trial and error, turn off all the special sound settings (like DTS and advanced settings) and move the bass to +7 and the treble to +4. After I made this change, the quality was much much better!I previously had Corsair HS70s for two years and HS80s for two years, but I hate the iCue software Corsair uses, it’s a ridiculous resource hog and constantly has issues. So for me this is actually a mild downgrade price-wise as you read my pros and cons, they’re primarily vs my Corsairs:Pros: Incredibly lightweight and very comfortable. Battery lasts absolutely forever (I had to charge my Corsairs daily; the Logitech can go for days!). Sound is adequate once tweaked. Volume tops off at a low level but as a 45-year-old who is a huge music fan I can tell my ears aren’t what they once were, so they’re doing this for your protection. Software is “light-weight” and unobtrusive.Cons: If you’re mainly listening to music, spend a bit more on Corsair or Steelseries or even a purely audiophile set. You’ll be disappointed with these. They’re lightweight but as a downer feel a bit flimsy. As I said, sound is terrible out of the box imo.I really struggled with the number of stars to give! For the money, if you know you’re getting a lightweight pair of headphones with great battery and no hassle, they’re not bad at all. If you want more quality to your sound, go elsewhere however. A little bit more money can get you a way better sound.As for Logitech in general, I was tired of having three different programs (keyboard, mouse, headphones) so also got a Logitech mouse after remembering one I loved years back. The brand does feel overpriced for the quality they provide, as a general rule, as if they’re capitalizing off their brand. I’m ok with both these and the mouse, they’re fine, but for just $20-40 more each I’d say try one of the newer brands if you haven’t before. The Logitech stuff just feels cheaper overall than the price would suggest but they get the job done!”

Customer Review: “I’d been debating this headset for almost a month, finally bit the bullet and bought it. I use this headset on my ps5 and honestly I really like it. It’s comfortable, the sound is good, the mic is clear. It does feel a little flimsy plastic wise but I think as long as you’re not leaving it out and putting it up when you’re done it’s fine. Volume is good, clear sound. I saw some reviews say the sound wasn’t great at first but I did not have that problem. I just plugged the dongle into my ps5 and away we went. I do think it’s worth the money, it’s a good headset for a fair price.”

Customer Review: “Why did you pick this product vs others?:As someone who spends countless hours gaming, listening to music, and generally living with headphones on, finding the perfect headset is a journey. For a while, I thought I’d found my audio nirvana with the Audeze Maxwells. They delivered incredible clarity and depth, and for a long time, I was convinced nothing could surpass them. That is, until I got my hands on the Logitech Astro A50 X. And let me tell you, I am beyond pleased with these!Right out of the box, the convenience factor of the A50 X immediately stood out. First, let’s talk about the ear pads. Swapping them out is an absolute breeze. It’s a simple magnetic attachment that just clicks into place, which is a dream for cleaning or for anyone who likes to switch between different materials for comfort (like a cooling gel option for longer sessions, which I definitely appreciate). This seemingly small detail makes a huge difference in long-term usability and hygiene.Then there’s the dock – oh, the dock! It’s truly a game-changer. The ease of just dropping the headset onto the base station for charging is incredibly convenient. No fumbling with cables, just a satisfying click and you know it’s charging. But it’s not just about charging; the dock’s features are what really elevate the experience. The PLAYSYNC technology, allowing seamless switching between my Xbox, PS5, and PC with the touch of a button, is pure magic. As a multi-platform gamer, this eliminates so much hassle. Plus, having the HDMI 2.1 pass-through for 4K 120Hz on my consoles means I don’t sacrifice video quality for audio convenience. It’s incredibly well-thought-out and executed.Now, for the sound. When I first tried the A50 X after coming from the Maxwells, I’ll admit I was a little underwhelmed. The Maxwells, with their planar magnetic drivers, had spoiled me with a certain richness and detail. I thought the A50 X sounded a bit “muddy” in comparison, lacking that precise separation I had grown accustomed to. For a moment, I had doubts.However, a little digging revealed the secret weapon of the Astro A50 X: the customizable EQ settings. I dove into the Logitech G Hub software and started tinkering. And that’s when a whole new world opened up. With a few tweaks, adjusting the bass, mids, and highs to my preference, the sound transformed. The A50 X suddenly came alive with an incredible clarity, punchy bass, and crisp highs that rivaled, and in some aspects even surpassed, what I was getting from the Maxwells. The sound staging and positional audio in games became exceptionally precise, which is crucial for competitive play. It was like finally unlocking the true potential of the headset.I am genuinely very pleased with the Logitech Astro A50 X. The combination of its exceptional convenience, particularly the easy ear pad changes and the incredibly functional dock with PLAYSYNC, alongside the ability to fine-tune the audio with the custom EQ, makes for an unbeatable package. It’s a headset that truly caters to the modern gamer who values both performance and seamless integration across multiple platforms. If you’re willing to take a few minutes to personalize the sound, you’ll be as thrilled as I am.”

Customer Review: “As good as they say, ordered these because many mention the quality between microphone and speakers were actually balanced pretty well,Normally its one or the other, good mic or good sound, very rarely both, in fact as far as I know there is only one other at this price range to have both good sound and mic quality.That said, these are a bit pricey, so you’ll be spending more then the average no matter what, but the sound quality is great and my mic sounds as good or better I’ve been told then my desk mic, these keep up with most entry level studio headphones, maybe even some mid level studio grade headphones,The connection is pretty good too, I’ve had no issues, all and all these are great and worth the money,That all said, there are cons, for me, just one, I have to adjust the first at least once a week, and adjusting requires you to take off the headset, and if your eyes are not perfect you’ll have to look closely at the barely visible lines/numbers to get each side to match, really needs a way to lock them to the size you want, these don’t feel like they are locked in, in anyway, but friction keeping them where they are, these also did come pretty tight on my head but has sense stretched to fit comfortably.”
