What does buying a more expensive gaming headset get me?
What are the most important features in a good gaming headset?
Can you use Bluetooth headphones with the PS5?
Checked pretty much everything there is on the internet, but most posts are too old now. What I need the most is it to be wireless and preferably have Game/Chat mix. I’m planning to use in only for my PC (for PS5 I have been using Astro A50 gen 4 for 5 years, they are still fine, but I want something new and better + I’m tired to take them from my PC to PS5 every time, so I need one dedicated headset only for my PC).
So, out of all headsets here are my picks:
Logitech G Pro X 2 (not sure about the sound, tried them, Cloud 3s sounds better IMO)
Hyper X Cloud 3s (no game/chat mix and 3,5mm unfortunately)
Astor A50X (there is no A50 gen 5 in my country and + I don’t want to have 2 almost the same headsets LOL)
Razer BlackShark v3 pro (not a fan of Razer overall, but noise canceling sounds amazing)
Arctis Nova Pro Wireless (heard that it has connection and cracking sound, same as I have on Arctis 7 back in a day)
I also had Audeze Maxwell and sold them, unbearably HEAVY, but sounded the best out of all BY FAR.
If you have any other recommendations, please, feel free to share.
For now I like Cloud 3s the most, probably. But lack of Game/Chat mix and 3,5 jack is what holds me back.
I also have HD6xx and I love them, but I hate wires when playing.
A bit of insight. I’m primarily a solo gamer, I play by myself a lot & the games I do play are mostly single player. I’m looking for a new headset that can help me fully immerse into the game I’m playing.
I struggle with ADHD & misophonia, I hate a lot of noise & having too many distractions while gaming, it takes away my enjoyment because I’m unable to concentrate, so noise cancelling is an absolute must, probably the most important feature I’m looking for.
Comfort. I’m so tired of gaming headsets hurting my ears & head after wearing them for long periods of time. I need something light with a ‘premium’ feel, almost like I’m not wearing it I guess? I don’t want my ears sweating & hurting after two hours of gaming.
I’m willing to spend between £100-£200 ($135-$250), probably even more if it means I’ll get absolutely everything I’m looking for. I figure if I’m going to invest in a new headset I want it to be solid & last me a good few years, so with all that being said, what headset would you recommend? Any help would be appreciated!
Hey r/HeadphoneAdvice people, my current headset is straight-up garbage: constant disconnects, mic quality is awful, and the battery barely lasts. Been dealing with this for too long, so I’m finally upgrading. Looking for a wireless headset with solid audio, a clear mic, and good battery life that won’t die mid-session. Comfort is a big (I mean huge - as I wear glasses) deal too since I game for hours, and I don’t want something that crushes my head.
UPDATE: I got this one as it was the best one I found with top reviews for 2025.
I’m in the USA and looking to spend $150–$300, but I’ll stretch a bit if something’s truly worth it. Mostly using it for PC and PS5, so compatibility needs to be solid.
Sound-wise, I want good bass for immersion but not overpowering, plus a clear soundstage for FPS games. I also need a decent mic for voice chat, nothing crazy, just something that doesn’t make me sound like I’m in a tunnel.
Had a few headsets in the past, and I always run into the same issues: bad mic quality, weak battery life, or they just feel uncomfortable after a few hours.
Anyone got a go-to recommendation for 2025? What’s holding up well for you? I searched online and found a few, anyone using these?
