20 Best Wireless Headsets For Ps4 (2023 Updated)

Constant radio static: Steelseries support claims this is an unavoidable part of wireless audio. Im not sure if they are dumb or think we are. This is the only wireless device i’ve owned, besides a cheap kids walkie talkie set, to have static.

They sound awful: The have almost no base at all. As in when you run the sound test from windows sound menu, you almost cannot hear the base voice line at all. Same for the steelseries GG softwares audio test.

The software is severley lacking: The equalizer is missing most of the sound range, giving you very few options for improving the sound. They have a beta software called sonar, which has some of the best features iv’e seen and drastically improved the quality of the headset to atleast match cheap earbuds.

But this software works with any audio device from any brand. So your still better off starting with a better headset. The construction is flimsy, impossible to repair and uncomfortable: The ear cups are connected by a single hollow rotating joint.

Any drop or big bump threatens to turn this $500 headset into a useless lump of plastic. The weird way they connect to the headset makes it nearly impossible to tape or glue it back together if it did break.

The headband design is bewildering, the single thin unpadded strip is guarenteed to start causing pain in any extended gaming session. The solid arching piece connecting the ear cups, seems to just add unnecassary weight and barley holds tension.

The cups are only just wide enough for my above average ears. But not nearly deep enough. if your ears stick out these will likely be painful for extended wear.

I have had this headset since November 2018 and It’s an ALRIGHT headset but definitely not worth the price. PROS – 2 batteries so you can quickly switch between them so you can charge one while using the other – Wireless – Good mic – Good sound – volume wheel on headset is good – Wireless base station with a good screen – Bluetooth connectivity so I can talk to someone on the phone while simultaneously having game sounds coming through the headset – Mic retracts to be nearly invisible Cons – The on button.

You have to hold it for what feels like 5-10 seconds before it turns on. – The headset turns off when you switch the batteries so you have to turn it on again when you put the new one in. – The mute mic button is really sticky and doesn’t feel high quality.

Plastic rubbing against plastic and not pushing in smoothly. – The “game audio” and “chat audio” thing is horrible. My chat audio always comes through with a high pitch wine. I have all my audio running through “game audio” – The headset sometimes switches on and off when I put the headset down and pick it up.

– Head band does not have enough range for different sized heads. – The small nail cut out for taking the side panel off is difficult if you have short nails. – Ear cup “leather” degraded and disintegrated, leaving black stuff on the side of my face.

– Part where the metal head band arm met the ear cup broke on the ear cup plastic. – It can connect to your computer via a cable but not USB C. -.

The comfort is good and the overall sound quality and mic is pretty good. That said, i believe it is way overpriced for what you are getting, and the HiFi aspect is a bit of a gimmick considering what these are made for.

Some games don’t play well with the HiFi 96hz mode enabled (I also have a MOTU M2 audio interface that can run at 192KHZ with my 250 ohm Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros). The problem with Hifi mode in games with the Steel Series DAC mostly has to do with the directional quality as the sound isn’t fluid as you pan around.

It randomly jumps sometimes instead of panning smoothly when orienting your character in a video game. That isn’t the case with HiFi mode off, but there is also an issue the appears when running these in the normal “PC” mode.

There is a well known glitch i quickly discovered when running this headset on the default “PC” mode which gives you separate controllable channels (thru the DAC) for both your chat and game audio. They are called “GameDAC Chat” and “GameDAC Game”.

If you do not put your PC to sleep with the “GameDAC Game” set as the audio solution currently being used “GameDAC Game” will disappear in the audio menu when you wake your PC. You will have to either unplug and re-plugin the DAC, or go into the DAC menu and turn on “HiFi” mode for a second, then turn HIFI mode off.

Windows 10 will display the “GameDAC Game” audio selection again. Just Google “GameDAC Game disappearing” and you will see what I am talking about. It is an issue that has been going on since release of this headset, but hasn’t been fixed for some reason.

I’ve worked from home for a long time and have had a number of different headsets, none of them cheap. These, I feel, are the best. I use them mostly for making calls from my soft phone, and the audio sounds fantastic.

The people I’m calling tell me my microphone sounds great, too-very clear. I also use them for listening to music or youtube videos, and while you can definitely get better headphones for music, these do all right.

The ear cups are large enough to fit completely over my ears and are really comfortable. I wear them for hours without thinking about it. The only thing that took some getting used to was that they do a pretty good job of sound insulation, which made it so I can’t hear myself well while talking when I’m on phone calls.

It’s really just me not being used to it, but if you’re like me and your old headset ear cups sort of sat on top of your ears, this might require a little, like I said, getting used to. In the beginning I was shouting at people, LOL.

I haven’t run out of a battery charge yet, so I don’t really know how long the battery lasts, real world, but I’ve used them for 4+ hours straight with no battery issues. It’s also nice that you can use them while they’re being charged–my last headset didn’t do that, so I always had to make sure they were charged before going into meetings.

Overall, the quality and fit and finish appear good. In short, yes, these headphones are marketed as being for gaming, but they work very, very well for phone calls, if you’re calling from a computer.

I probabky tried around 6-7 different wireless headsets and this was the best iveeall. As i type i have 4 headsets sitting in my kitchen and im gonna start to return them back to the stores i purchased them from.

Thie was the liudestbheadset and doesnt seem to have many issues with connection. I did have to unplug and plug the dongle back in once, but not a big deal. My inky complaint is that the ear pieces are not very comfortable.

I loved the feel of the Turtle Beach 700 ear pieces, but oddly enough i found when i was eating eith the 700 the ear piecesthe 700 would push my jaw back because they were so thick. No issues with this and the headset is light which i love.

So all the others hwill go back to the store and i am keeping thehyperx.

I bought this headset last year around the beginning of the pandemic because I knew I’d be gaming a lot. At the time I wasn’t very knowledgeable on gaming equipment and essentially grabbed the first headset I saw that looked decent.

Unfortunately that headset happened to be this one. To start, you can’t use the headset wirelessly if you want to play with friends as when used wirelessly the mic sounds absolutely horrible. Also, they really aren’t very comfortable at all.

Very heavy, hard on the ears. The main reason I am writing this review is to tell people that you can get a WAY better headset than this one for the same price or even cheaper from companies such as steelseries and Logitech.

Please do not waste your money on this headset.

Pros: Overall good sound. Compatible with PS4 Pro Cons: Battery life is subpar given the $150 price tag on these. Build quality is a 3/5 (same comment as above, subpar) Ear cups not as soft/comfy or seals nearly as well as my $60 Tao Tronics.

They need a dongle perpetually connected to PS (why in the world would Sony not allow it to connect like any usual/standard/logical Bluetooth electronic without annoying dongle). In short, good sound but definitely not worth the price.

These are very good headphones, high quality, fit well, good 3-D sound with good adjustments. However, it seems to be a fairly well known problem that the USB Bluetooth wireless connection fails after some time, meaning you can only use them wired to the controller or phone you’re using.

The worst part is Sony offer no support, replacement or repairs for this and prefer to refer users to a circular path of website support.

For the most part, I am very satisfied with I have noticed especially with the release of PS5 that these controllers can be fairly hard to find. They also are very overpriced when you do find them. They used to retail for $59.

99 which in my opinion is already ridiculously expensive. The last I checked was selling it for $85! I purchased mine directly from the PlayStation store online. I do love the features of this controller though! * Built in speaker and stereo headset Jack * Multi-touch, clickable touch pad * Share button with instant gameplay video screen uploads * Integrated light bar with PS camera I definitely recommend this controller.

I would suggest buying it directly from PlayStation if possible. There have been counterfeit controllers being sold by private sellers on Amazon and Walmart. Always make sure that you have the PlayStation serial number on the back of your controller and the PS insignia on the front of the controller for authenticity.

I like the sound quality and the softness of the ear pads that go around ones ears on this headset. Every one of my friends told me they could hear my game audio coming thru my mic, since day one. That’s the most ridiculous flaw to have because who wants someone in their party chat where we can hear a reverb of everything they are hearing layered with their own game audio.

Super obnoxious and very telling of how they put next to no effort into anything regarding the headset aside from splendid audio quality. So the mic picking up every bit of noise coming thru my ear phone was enough to warrent a poop review, but now the pleather is just shredding and falling apart from every exterior surface of the headset and every time i look at the thing i think of what a heap it is and how its literally only good for me to use, not anyone else playing with me.

Such a dressed up money grab in my opinion. You would be very, very much better off finding something where It works as intended, and the stupid shiny leather wont flake off on your face and head every time you use it.

Dont buy this mic. I looove sony products i really do. but they dropped the ball hard on this one.

I got his headset after returning a Corsair headset due to the lack of surround sound compatibility with PS4. This one is perfect for PS4 gamers. The built in mics are nothing special in terms of sound quality, but they are a nice feature and mean that there’s no detachable boom getting in the way or lost! Battery life is good, but unlike other headsets I’ve owned in the past it doesn’t shut down when your turn off your console so be sure to switch it off after use.

If the battery does die during a session you can plug the 3. 5mm jack into the headset and controller and use it as a wired headset! All of the controls are on the left earcup (including mute) and sometimes it’s difficult to locate quickly without taking off the headset and double checking, but I’m sure this is just because it’s a new set up for me.

My favourite feature is how it interacts with the PS4. You get a little notification (similar to when you first turn on a controller) which shows you battery life, whether you have surround sound activated and the status of the mic.

There’s also an companion app which you can download on your console and customise your settings. You can also save 2 versions of these settings which you can easily switch between using a button on the headset.

Although hesitant at first, I’m very glad I got this headset and and despite is rather simple looking design, it’s still a very good headset for the price!.

I’m in love with this game series. It’s a perfect mix of action and suspense. The details are absolutely amazing. This is my favorite game and I played it until I beat it in the same day. I did all three difficulties and played for a long time.

It is THE BEST game in my opinion. The twists in the game are awesome. You guys have to play this game. You’ll love it and it’ll become your favorite game series too.

I’ve had this headset for a few years now after the original version broke from the hinges. Now, the middle of the headband snapped in two! I really wanted these to outlive my previous set. The earcups don’t sit right because of the headset wanting to push upwards.

It’s not made out of high-quality plastic, unfortunately. But, the app on the Playstation is great for customizing your sound. The function that I love the most is being able to toggle chat to game volumes.

Overall, the sound quality is good for what you pay for. I’m currently looking for a new gaming headset.

If you are looking for an immersive sound experience, these aren’t your headphones. That being said, they do what they say they’ll do. You can hear the sound on all the gaming platforms and the mic works well.

I do like that it’s a retractable mic so when not in use it goes back into the ear piece. My friends said they could hear me well on it. The on-headset controls work as expected and they are slim and lightweight as advertised.

If you’re looking for a decent-ish headset for your kid, this might work. Otherwise, spend the extra coin and get a more expensive headset by the same manufacturer. I have an older, more expensive, pair of steelseries headphones and the difference in sound is night and day.

These are hollow, tinny and “just not good” as my husband put it. I wouldn’t expect headphones at this price point to rival the spendy ones, however you get what you pay for. We tried these with the new Xbox and pc gaming (World of Warcraft) and had the same experience with both systems.

These will be going to our 10 year old, who doesn’t care about the sound quality as much as we do.

I really liked the sleek design and comfort of these headphones, so I tried to make them work for a week before returning them today. The deal breaker for me was the frequent snap, crackle, and pop sounds I was getting while streaming on Twitch.

My old wired headset didn’t have this problem, so I reviewed the Steelseries headset/mic and OBS bit rates and made sure the mic was fully plugged in. I tried a couple other things, but the only one I refused was setting the sound EQ to flat in SteelSeries GG (product management app) because it honestly sounded much worse in comparison to “music” mode.

For $100, I should be able to use different EQ settings at the very least!! PROS – Sleek design. The reason why I picked the Steelseries vs. other options at Target. – VERY comfortable ear cups. Would not hurt my ears after 5-hour gaming or TV sessions.

I also have 5 piercings per ear so this was very impressive and the main reason I didn’t want to give up this headset. CONS – Medium difficulty setup. After downloading SteelseriesGG and pairing the headset to my PC, the audio worked – but not the mic.

I followed the Steelseries FAQ to troubleshoot, and it did not work. It somehow started working when I went to Sounds > Properties > Listen and check marked “Listen to this device” (not mentioned anywhere on Steelseries and random reddit threads).

That brought the mic to life, and I was able to uncheck the box and save. – Confusing battery life LED indicator. It often would not update with the correct color indicator. For example, I would charge it to Green and then it would be Yellow as soon as I turned it on to use the headset.

– Minor snap/crackle/pop issues in voice chat (Discord) and audio (listening to TV shows). My friend told me it wasn’t bad, but sometimes my voice sounded choppy in Discord. Sometimes there would be audio lag.

It wasn’t the end of the world, but it was noticeable. – Garbage SteelseriesGG program. Whoever made this app needs to go back and work on it. You need this to set up the Bluetooth dongle pairing and in the future for viewing the battery life icon or changing EQ settings.

However, the program never properly terminates after you close it, even after you’ve turned off your PC. I would have to run it as administrator and terminate all duplicate tasks 3x to get this app to even launch and load.

And it’s not even the regular. exe launcher! I had to dig around Program Files for another version of the app launcher and pinned it to Start. Finally, I wondered if the problem was my hardware – could I be maxing out my USB bandwidth? I picked up a HyperX Cloud Flight (wireless 2.

4 Hz USB) on the same day after returning the Steelseries. Surprisingly, I did not have any issues. I even put the HyperX USB in the exact same USB 3. 0 slot as the Steelseries USB Bluetooth dongle. Therefore, I am inclined to think the Steelseries USB was either defective or low quality.

When it comes to audio/video, to each their own and everyone has their personal preference. After having owned/tested several high end gaming headsets, I have to say that my vote goes to these Arctis Nova Pro wireless headsets.

The design and the quality of these headsets are amazing. They fit my ears perfectly, have a luxury feeling and are very comfortable to wear even for a long period of time. I found the sound, both high and low to be quite awesome on all kind of gaming and even music.

The Bluetooth feature is great as I was able to connect the Arctis to my phone in seconds and enjoy music when I am not gaming. When it comes to the noise cancelling feature, I have to say that it was pretty good, leaving me with a very clear sound even when there is a lot of noise around me.

Using these during my gaming sessions is awesome as not only the audio is very clear but the people on the other end can hear me clearly as well. I really love how the microphone can retract inside the headset.

But I have to say that the best part of these Arctis Nova Pro is to me, the very impressive battery life that puts all the other big name brands to shame as they lasted me 3 entire day without having to recharge them and if I ever run out of power, all it takes is 10 seconds to swap the battery with the extra one that comes in the box and I am set for another 3 days.

The base station/multi-system receiver is also quite awesome as it not only let me easily swap between my consoles, let me change the EQ settings but also has a slot to charge the extra battery. All in all, these are now my new favorite gaming headsets and it goes without saying that they get a perfect score from me.

Steelseries did an amazing job on those.

I’ve had this headset for about two weeks, and so far I’ve found them to be very good (I can sometimes even hear footsteps in Apex). I have never interacted with the GameDac so was a bit worried it might be hard to set up.

Fortunately when you plug it in it gives you a replayable tutorial that introduces you to its UI and some of its features. The UI itself is clear and responsive, making it easy to navigate. I’m not the biggest audiophile so I’m not an expert when it comes to choosing the ideal settings with the GameDac.

I can say however that I definitely noticed that the audio seemed much better when using the GameDac vs just plugging the headset into my controller. The sound was much more immersive and had more depth to it.

The GameDac comes with a few audio presets, and I personally found the “Focus” audio preset to sound the best for me. In terms of the mic, it is housed in the headset and can be pulled out to position it closer to your mouth.

The headset comes with a mic windscreen which is nice, and I often leave it on the mic and leave it sticking out a bit (rather than taking it off and inserting the mic all the way after use). In terms of mic output quality, my friends say the audio comes through clearly and doesn’t pick up much background noise/static.

The headset itself has a nice sleek design, and is comfortable to wear. The ear pads are nice and soft and the headset feels durable. I found ski goggle lining a bit strange at first, but I do like that it is detachable and can be washed separately.

Overall I think the headset is very solid and look forward to continuing to use them!.
