The best PS5 headsets from all the top brands

The Sennheiser GSP 600 wired gaming headset offers impressive audio performance for under £75. All the more impressive because Sennheiser is a leading audio tech brand.

This headset has a closed acoustic design, which locks you into an immersive gaming world with high fidelity game audio. Seriously, you can always trust that Seinnheiser headsets are packed with excellent speaker technology. You can adjust the volume with an intuitive dial on the right ear cup.

Also impressive is the noise cancelling boom mic. Indeed, some reviewers rate Sennheiser's mic as the best they’ve ever used. The arm is flexible, allowing you get it in the best position for a serious gaming session, with a clever lift-to-mute function. Just flick it up to mute the live mic.

This set doesn't have the same portability as wireless headsets, but if that's not a concern, the Sennheiser GSP 600 is a great option.

For some gamers, the Pulse 3D wireless headset will be the only choice, because it’s the only official PS5 companion headset. We can’t argue with that rationale. If you want a headset that offers both tech and style, this is the one.

And we can't argue with the compatibility. It syncs seamlessly with the PS5. All you need to do is insert a USB into the console and the headset connects immediately. And if you're a sucker of long sessions, the Pulse 3D offers a competitive 12-hour battery life.

The headset is certainly comfortable enough for long PS5 shifts, with solid sound and Tempest 3D AudioTech. This offers a more immersive experience with games that also support the technology. The 3D AudioTech is a bit of a work in progress. Indeed, there's better sound technology available but you'd have to be a real audiophile gamer to worry about it.

The Razer Kraken V3 isn't the cheapest headset on this list, but it's far from the most expensive. The great thing is, it keeps the price low but it doesn’t skimp on performance or features. 

The Razer Kraken range has an edge over other similarly priced headsets. And the V3 has true gaming style, with RGB lighting built into the outer ear cups, plus THX spatial audio for advanced surround sound and a detachable HyperClear Cardioid mic for crystal clear comms.

You can also expect some serious oomph from the bass — perfect for gamers who like their games to not only be immersive, but sound deep and hefty sound. They’re also super comfortable.

Overall, the Razer Kraken V3 offers a lot for under £100, but you’ll obviously find clearer, better sound at higher price point. Also, a shoutout to their overall style — a slick-looking pair with pure gamer vibes.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro wireless headset delivers next-level gaming audio, which it does by combining premium high-fidelity hardware and SteelSeries’ Sonar Audio Software Suite technology.

It uses algorithms to create 360-degree Spatial Audio, a totally immersive surround sound experience that blasts audio from every direction. That puts you in the centre of the action at all times. Active noise cancellation makes it even more immersive, locking you deep in the game.

It SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro also has Pro-grade Parametric EQ, which the brand boasts is a gaming first. This allows you to adjust and customise every aspect of the sound, so you can lower certain elements and crank up others.

Amazingly, you can connect to both console and phone at once (via a multi-system receiver, included with the package). That means you can play your game and take calls from friends. The headset will also connect to two different PCs or consoles, allowing you to switch between them easily.

Turtle Beach has a strong reputation for delivering excellent gaming headsets. The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro is arguably the brand's best ever: a premium quality, high performance headset that gives you highly detailed sound.

It's officially licensed for the Xbox but one of the great things is its universal compatibility. The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro is a high-end headset no matter what machine you use for gaming – Xbox, PS5, or PC.

The headset is absolutely stacked with game-changing technology. Its biggest attributes, as you might expect with a top gaming headset, are the noise-cancelling microphone and detailed sound. It has Turtle Beach's exclusive Superhuman Hearing which gives you the ultimate battlefield advantage by giving you pinpoint audio.that allows you to detect footsteps or identify the location of enemies. If that wasn't immersive enough, the active noise cancellation is next level.

If you're a fan of long sessions, this has a swappable 12-hour battery system, so you can swap the battery mid campaign and double your gaming time.

SteelSeries is one of the best brands in the gaming headset business. The SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ is a high-end, low-cost headset. Well, mid-range cost but the quality means it performs well above its price point.

This is a headset designed for use with the PS5, as you'll see — or hear to be more precise — in its compatibility with the PS5's Tempest 3D Audio. Though if you're a multi-platform gamer, the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ is perfectly solid when paired with the Xbox or PC.

We've praised other wireless headsets on this roundup for their battery life, but if you like a lengthy campaign — and we mean seriously lengthy — this headset outlasts them all by at least six hours, with up to 30 hours of juice. It's built for those kind of sessions too, with ear cushions that use breathable Airweave technology and a suspension band inspired by ski goggle designs.

Nobody wants a heavy headset weighing them down, especially for lengthy gaming sessions. In the same way you don't want a headset to weigh too heavily on your wallet. Look no further than the HyperX Cloud Stinger — an absolute steal at this budget price point and another of the lightest options on this roundup.

It’s not only comfortable on your neck but your ears too, thanks to HyperX memory foam ear cups that rotate 90-degrees. They could possibly be a little tighter, but a combination of the memory foam and adjustable steel sliders ensure a decent, ready-for-action fit.

It has 50mm directional drivers that position sound directly into your ear, with an intuitive volume control located on the right ear cup. There's also a swivel-to-mute noise-cancellation microphone — just flip the mic upwards to silence it. All of which keeps things simple, allowing you to focus on your game.
