Gaming sessions can last for hours thanks to the comfortable ear pads and adjustable headband tension.įrom the first note of music of the Horizon Zero Dawn menu screen on the PS5, I knew I was in for a treat. The microphone blends into the ear cup when fully retracted, and can be easily slid out with your thumb. Both ear cups have magnetic removable covers that hide a USB-C charging port and the battery (on the left and right, respectively). A smattering of controls are on the left ear cup-including power, mic mute, and a volume wheel-and only a Bluetooth button is on the right. The headset’s layout is uncluttered, which makes finding the proper buttons easy.

The PS5 version does not work with an Xbox since it lacks the necessary Microsoft security chip. In addition to the PS5/PC wireless version we reviewed, there’s one certified for the Xbox (also $350), and wired versions (both Xbox-specific and not) for $250.
