I’ve been dealing with constant issues with the Pulse Elite headset since I bought them last year. I’m going to send them for repair, but I’m going to buy something new and looking for suggestions.

What headsets are you using?

    That’s what I have. Think they’re Sennheisers gaming brand. Been pretty happy with them.

      Just adding support for this recommendation. I had 4 gaming headsets before this, and got this for about $140 on sale. It’s far and away the best sounding headset I’ve ever used for non-professional purposes. There are two caveats:

      3.5mm jack works on most gaming consoles through the controller. And you can get a super cheap and small adapter from 3.5mm to USB-C if you want to use it with phone or other USB-C input. But if you need wireless this won’t do it.

      They are open back style headphones. Meaning there’s a considerable amount of sound leakage into the room with you. Someone sitting next to you can hear every word of your voice chat or phone call. They sound really open airy and have a great sound-stage because of this, but it’s not great if you need privacy. They do make the Game One version with a closed back.

      They are wired only right? How do you connect them to the PS5, through the controller?
