Comment on PlayStation 5 headset recommendations (Pulse Elite suck)

• Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  I can personally recommend the Astro a50s and the Audeze Maxwell, but both of those are going to approach the $300 mark. You can also explore cheaper Astro headsets like the a30s but i havent had any experience with those

    I’ve had the same pair of a40s for probably eight years now and they’re still perfect. Never had issues.

    They’re wired, I’ve always preferred not having to deal with batteries so perfect for me, but that may be a deal breaker for others. They’re $150 I think.

      I love my a40s too, but those were strictly a PC item for me due to the cords.

      Looks like the A40s are hard to find now. Honestly leaning towards not caring if they are wired or not, depending on where they connect. Do you connect them to the controller or the console?

        Oh wow that’s worrying if they’re getting hard to find.

        They connect to the controller. You can get a little mixamp for Xbox controllers that lets you control volume, mix and a mute button. For PS it just plugs into the bottom of the controller with a standard aux cable
