I've tried all of these. The Turtle Beach stealth 700 Gen 3 (not Gen 2 max) is the best out of all the headsets. However, the Sony Explore Earbuds are also fantastic. Turtle Beach has the largest drivers with great mids and deep bass. The Explore uses the Audeze planar Magnetic tech and executes it FAR superior to the Sony Pulse Elite. Don't even consider Pulse 3D. The two I recommended have awesome spatial sound awareness and profiles. They're also exceptional for music and both can dual connect to your PS5 and phone.

The SteelSeries headsets do not have great microphones. They are fairly quiet but with their Sonar GG app you can adjust your mic to your liking. With that being said the Nova Pro are my favorite headset bc I don't care how much my mic sounds, but it would be hard to recommend if mic clarity is a want. I built a [list with headsets from different price points](https://goopfinder.com/compare/?slugs=logitech-g-pro-x%2Cturtle-beach-stealth-700-gen-3%2Clogitech-g-pro-x-2-lightspeed%2Crazer-blackshark-v3-x-hyperspeed) that I believe are good options for you... <$100 - Razer Blackshark v3 x Hyperspeed <$150 - Logitech G Pro X <$200 - Turtle Beach 700 Gen 3 <$250 - Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed IMO its all preference, find a headset within your comfortable price point with the features it claims to have. Purchase from Amazon or best buy (some where with a return policy) and try it out for a week and return if its not what you expected.

Not good Do the maxwells use planar magnetic drivers which are designed to be inherently flat and play audio in its purists form with little to no enhancements. You’ll get bass but not the rumbling/thumping bass you are probably use to hearing in standard dynamic drivers which 99.% if headsets use If you want bass I’d recommend the Astro A50x, Arctis nova pro wireless ore the Arctis nova 7ps. The turtle beach stealth 700 gen 3s are also a good choice The above will give you balanced audio with both bass and clarity/detail. The a50x and turtle beach headset are a smige more bass heavy but not overbearing though

I’ve been using the turtle beach stealth 700 gen 3s for around a year now and they still haven’t broken or had any connectivity issues 🤷‍♂️

I would say get the turtle beach stealth 700 gen 3s. I’ve had them for about a year now and haven’t ran into any issues. The battery lasts very long, the audio is good, they have different features like connecting to Bluetooth and console simultaneously and the app where you can customize the audio 👍

I just got a Turtle beach 700 gen 3. Bit pricey but very solid (I have 2 toddlers) and very good quality. Very happy with it

Hello! You get diminishing returns very quickly, so it depends what you value. At the $200 range, Nova 7 Gen 2 and Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 are the best picks for FPS. The Blackshark V3 Pro (newest version) has some improvements at the $250 range like ANC and simultaneous BT which is nice. It can also save multiple on board EQ profiles. For $300 and FPS, I still think the Astro A50 Gen 5 is an amazing option, and still my go to. The stock pads are a little small, but I made my own called the StealthZ pad, sold by WickedCushions. The A50 Gen 5 takes full parametric EQ and has a class-leading mic and bass response. It handles EQ really well. The Nova Pro Wirless is still a great option to this day, but the mic performance is just okay, and as you said, EQ is more limited but still very capable. Overall I think you'd be performing at a very similar level with any of these. It comes down to preference on design and features. Nova Pro has leatherette pads and ANC with more isolation, whereas the A50 is very open sounding (does not block external noise).
