Is the PS5 Pulse 3D headset really the best?
It is acclaimed by fans of the brand and one would tend to think that it is essential since its manufacturer announces it as fully adapted to its console. In addition it is beautiful and perfectly tuned to the PS5. But is Pulse 3D really essential? We love its comfort and the good quality sound it returns, we don't like its microphone too sensitive to ambient noise and especially the fact that it does not allow you to make the most of the 3D spatialization offered by the PS5. A shame for the designer of the console that offers this technology. In conclusion, this is an excellent headset which is also compatible with most other platforms, but it is not the best and it has strong competitors in its price category.
What are the criteria to remember when choosing a PS5 headset?
If you want a PS5 headset, you have to take into account certain specific criteria, such as the question of wireless, for example.
Before looking at these in detail, here are the most important points to check when buying an audio accessory:
Comfort, because you will be wearing it for hours.
The audio quality.
The better it is, the more immersed you will feel in the game.
The microphone.
If you're playing co-op, it's important to be heard clearly.
Wired or wireless?
A wireless headset is undeniably more convenient than a headset plugged into a remote console or even the jack on the DualSense controller.
In addition, the price difference between the two technologies is not as large as it used to be, and you will find very good quality wireless headsets for PS5 at reasonable prices.
If you opt for wired, you just need to check that it has a jack cable.
If you choose wireless, consider controlling the autonomy.
Headsets for gamers now offer a minimum of 10 hours and you can aim higher depending on how you play.
Also prefer the battery to the batteries.
About bluetooth
It is now the most popular technology in wireless gaming headsets.
To put it simply, the adapter that you plug into your console will encode the audio stream, send it to your headphones which will transcribe it into sounds.
Latency issues are not really an issue anymore, but information may be degraded during compression.
Rest assured, all brands offer powerful models, but high-end accessories offer significantly higher audio quality and lossless.
The compatibility of PS5 headsets
Due to the technologies used, you will understand that most headsets are compatible with all devices.
In particular the wired ones since it is enough to connect them with the good cable.
This is convenient for cross-platform players who will be able to switch between them without changing accessories.
On the other hand, some accessories embed technologies made for the console, in order to make the most of the performance of the PS5 and to best transcribe the sound atmosphere of certain games.
The manufacturers always state this clearly and you will have no difficulty finding the information.
