Wireless headphones that come with a suitable USB dongle can continue to function with the console as usual. By simply plugging them into the console, users can enjoy their gaming experience. The PS5 maintains backwards compatibility with most existing PS4 controllers and accessories, but only for PS4 games and sometimes with limited functionality.
The PULSE 3D wireless headset is particularly designed for the PS5 to harness the 3D audio capabilities of the console. The headset is powered by Tempest 3D AudioTech, placing players at the heart of immersive sound environments. It boasts a sleek design, dual noise-cancelling microphones, a built-in rechargeable battery, and a suite of accessible controls. To remove the headset, one must press the headband release button and then re-extend the headband.
Moreover, the SteelSeries Arctis 7P, a wireless gaming headset, is tailored for the PS5, offering backwards compatibility for the PS4, and impresses with a substantial 24-hour battery life. This all-black headset has been fine-tuned for the 3D audio capabilities of the PS5, enhancing gaming sessions with its detailed sound reproduction.
Sony’s own PS5 official wireless headset is engineered with exceptional sound quality at the forefront, designed to make players feel the intensity of the audio for a seamless gaming experience. The headset includes Sonys eget Pulse 3D Wireless Headset, which is specifically designed for the PlayStation 5, utilising Tempest 3D AudioTech for an enriched gaming experience. The headset also features vibration, and for connectivity with the PS5, it uses a USB Type-C. The audio input includes a built-in microphone, while the output is provided via a stereo headphone jack. Users can connect to PS5 and PS4 consoles as well as compatible Windows and macOS computers using the included adaptor.
The headset is optimised for a smooth wireless experience, fine-tuned for 3D Audio on PS4 and PS5 consoles. The anticipation for PSVR 2 is growing, encouraging gamers to learn about the PS5 VR headset and its advanced Sense controllers. Audeze’s Penrose, designed with the PS5 in mind, is also worth considering for those looking for a new gaming headset. The Razer Kaira Pro for PlayStation offers a wireless PS5 headset experience enhanced by Razer HyperSense haptics, while the dual wireless Razer Kaira for PlayStation is designed to perform across both console and mobile platforms.
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 is another notable mention, a gaming headset that promises a substantial auditory experience.
