Sony - PULSE 3D Wireless Headset (CFI-ZWH1, 3005688)

Legit, for years now, I’ve used headsets whenever possible. It started with competitive online shooters and then segued to everything else. Now, occasionally, I will find myself playing without for some odd reason but it’s very sub par. Once you start using a decent set of cans and you enjoy the 3D audio, it feels like almost a minor handicap going to tv speakers. I will admit, I have never gamed with some major surround set up but possibly that aside, the headphones are wear it’s at. I had Sony brand Playstation ones until they broke and the second time one broke I bought a cheap Logitech set and it’s still pretty great. And lighter weight and better battery life. Sony’s models are great, but pricey.

honestly you can’t really go wrong with most of those.cos most wireless headsets sound good enough for ps5 anyway. but the real difference shows after a few hours of wearing them. stuff like clamp pressure, padding, and headband weight make or break long sessions. also check how each handles cross device use. some headsets (like the nova 7p) make switching between console and pc or phone easy. also [this guy](https://medium.com/@bnazir592/my-pc-setup-journey-wireless-headsets-were-the-hardest-part-to-nail-down-53f6c38dfef6) started building a pc and grabbed some dope components. like the corsair keyboard and asus monitor. he also picked the steelseries nova for the headset. so you can also check what he has to say about it. the sony pulse 3d sounds nice but has weaker battery and doesn’t feel as comfy for marathon gaming. if you play late at night or share a space then closed back designs help a ton. cos they keep sound from leaking and block background noise better. and whatever you get, just update the firmware before judging the mic quality. cos a lot of them improve after patches.

Pulse 3D. Can buy used for cheap on eBay (make sure it includes the dongle which is unique to each headset!). We have multiple pairs - comfortable, affordable, stylish.

Do not get pulse headsets they are absolute garbage. They constantly disconnect and it’s annoying

Big fan of the arctis 7p. Very comfortable and good battery life. The pulse 3D is ok but the rubber ear muffs feel a little gross to me. Turtle Beach 700s are also nice but for some reason TB headsets and my WiFi do not get along and I constantly get noise dropping or crackling. This rarely happens with the other headsets

Headset all the way all tho my 5 year old ps5 3d audio headset is now falling apart may buy new 1

Yea because you didn’t take care of it. I have the pulse 3d for 5 years now all I had to do was change the ear pieces once. And I use them 3-5 times a week.

Depends on the game and if 3D surround sound is a part of it and makes the experience better or more authentic. Example, some games you wear them and can hear if something is coming up behind you. And I know a lot of people bash them, but I’ve had the ps pulse 3D headset for a couple years and I love it.

Sony Pulse 3d is awesome

When remote playing, I use my old Pulse 3D with the dongle in the console. If I’m playing then I’ll just stick a 3.5mm jack in and I’m sorted.
