A great gaming headset is a must-have for anyone who enjoys playing their PS5. Whether you’re a hardcore multiplayer gamer or a devoted single-player savant, a headset can enhance your experience.
They’re also great for late-night gaming, as well as for during the day when other people in your home are doing their own thing. A huge number of gaming headsets are compatible with the PS5, from Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless to USB and 3.5mm wired options.
On a technical note, Sony has equipped the PS5 with its new Tempest 3D AudioTech. You could only experience 3D Audio on the PS4 with certain headsets. With the PS5, any headset or headphone will do, though the experience is better with some headsets than others. (Check out this list of games that currently support Tempest 3D Audio.)
Prices for PS5 headsets range from $30 for entry-level wired models to more than $400 for wireless models that also can be used with PCs and offer high-quality audio for music listening. As you might expect, a headset’s comfort level along with sound and microphone quality are key factors in our evaluations. With higher-end models, bonus features or premium designs can also help certain models stand out.
As new PS5 headsets are released, we’ll update this list. And if you’re still having trouble tracking down a next-gen console, be sure to check our PS5 restock tracker for the latest on where they’re available.
