Great sound for price, good mic, but open-back.

Turtle Beach made a new one, officially licensed, for around $60. I'm interested in trying that one out. I'm currently alternating between the Pulse 3D and Explore.
If it’s only a good headset for overall gaming. Any top five or top 5 YouTube recommendations. But if you focus on footsteps for fps, it’s a hard time finding one. I got pulse 3d, turtle beach 600 gen 2, cloud x 3 and Logitech 300 family. The best one of these for footsteps was the turtle beach, but the microphone is garbage, it keeps getting any background noise, don’t know the gen 3 if they fixed that issue. I updated the firmware but is useless. The second best one of these four options for footsteps for me is the cloud X 3. But for overall gaming any one.
Just go with the 3D Pulse, they're cheap and have great audio. Have had mine since launch and no issues.
My only gripe is I have the launch Pulse 3D headset and functionally it’s great. It doesn’t work wirelessly with PS Portal because portal uses PlayStation Link software to pair whereas the OG Pulse only uses Bluetooth. So use it wired or buy another headset, which sucks.
Been rocking the Sony Pulse 3D for the last 3 years I’ve had my PS5 and I’ve loved them. Swapped out the factory ear pads for a set of more comfortable cooling ones and never had an issue with comfort. I’m not deep in the audio world so they personally sound great.
You can get the Sony pulse 3d headset for under 100. Just don’t get the pulse elite, it has a really bad design flaw
