The Problem with PS5 Gaming Headsets
Переглядів 64,099
День томуFinding the best PS5 headset isn't easy and that goes for any console because of USB compatibility along with latency through the controller for the 3.5mm jack. In this video we test some of the best gaming headsets on the PS5 and also discuss compatibility with Bluetooth, USB DACs and USB-C dongles.

Wish I could give this video 10 thumbs up! Very thorough and detailed. Thank you for putting in the effort and providing feedback on how each product behaved. I like the fact that you guys managed to keep the video short and not fill it with bloat, just to get more runtime. Maybe you guys have already made a video about it but I'm just getting into the headphone space in gaming. I would absolutely appreciate a video about Dac/amp and how to use them with phones, PC, consoles, etc. Thanks again for this awesome video🙏

@krazyfrog 2 місяці тому
Because Bluetooth has massive latency for audio in the region of 100-300ms. And the standard Bluetooth audio profile does not support microphone, so you can't have high quality audio and microphone working at the same time. It needs to use the headset profile, which significantly reduces audio quality. These are limitations of the Bluetooth standard and there isn't much Sony can do about it.

Great video by the way, if only you did it a couple months sooner I wouldn't have had to do these tests myself 😅 Anyway the external mic problem is real, more than half of them won't work well on the PS5 and they'll either be too sensitive or too quiet and adjusting it on the PS5 won't help much. After trying about 7 different mics $30-100 I settled on the Fifine AM8 microphone and it sounds pretty good my party chat agrees. Volume level is just about perfect you can adjust the gain and fine time mic level on the PS5. Only problem is you will have to buy a USB 3.1 or better cable to get it to work as the cable that comes with it won't.

Over the years, the only bugs I've run into with the PlayStations and wireless Cloud headsets involve the Cloud Alpha actually. At launch there was a bug with the noise gate, which was resolved by a firmware update pushed out by HyperX. Since then it has now moved into randomly having three times the gain it should have on kind of a coin flip. Putting the console to rest mode and bringing it back out of it may snap it out of it. I've had cloud flights and Cloud 2 wirelesses for years, neither had any issues at all on PS4 or 5. Just the alphas for some reason really hate this thing.

If you want imaging and soundstage, gaming headsets are the last thing you want. Astros, Steelseries, and the like are abysmal. Get a good pair of headphones and the Soundblaster of your choice (I like the G6 and GC7) and you'll have a substantially better sounding setup.

Maybe supplying tech and upgrades. As things escalate he would make the decision to suit up again and either die a hero or serve as continued support in the field over the course of the game.

Ok… so great video 👍. I have PS5 mic issues with the (not the Pro) Nova 7P wireless picking up every noise (like my shallow breathing), and especially in PS5 party chat mode. I think the bleed through on standard ear cups is the main problem and wondering if upgrade Wicked Cushions would be worth it? I will try to drop my mic volume both on PS5 and bring it down in the GG app from 100% to %25. Would this act as a type of noise gate or suppressor for the mic? Does anyone have any suggestions for the Nova 7P as far as sound Amp/DAC or should I just get new headphones? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I’m thinking of getting an external usb mic because I’m also a musician to and bought MacBook Air M2 to start recording our band.

I've been struggling with the audio volume output for a while now on ps5. My problem is I have a Class D amplifier that I'm using to power a set of bookshelves with, with my pc and Bluetooth from my phone it's great but from the ps5 the output volume is extremely low and I have to max out my amp which isn't good. Funny enough if I plug a 3.5mm to rca cable from the controller to the amp the audio is loud just like my pc. I have even tried audio extractors and it still sucks, so my solution was to use a creative soindblaster Gc7 but I now get an audible hiss from the Gc7. Why sony decided to get rid of optical output I will never understand , my conclusion is they want you tp buy their products.

Not mentioned here is the fact that the PS5, regardless of whether you plug into the controller or a compatible USB DAC, has reduced audio quality (like a compressed mp3) with all wired headsets. I don't know how wireless headsets fare, but I imagine they aren't any better. The controller's headphone amp is also a little noisy if you're using IEMs or something similar. The only way I've found around this is to get audio from the HDMI out instead, which is incredibly irritating. Glad you pointed out the audio latency with non-PCM formats, though, that has annoyed me for years (it's the same on Xbox).

I use the SteelSeries Arctis 7+ with both my PS5 and my gaming PCs. With the priority dongle I've never had any issues. And I like having the option to go wired if I desire by plugging the 3.5mm jack into the controller

Yep, was stupid annoyed I couldn't use my audiophile, wireless/wired hybrid, T+A Solitaire T headphones in Bluetooth mode to my PS5. My Audeze Maxwell PlayStation edition works well and gives me full PS5 chat and audio functions, but I shouldn't have needed to buy any PlayStation compatible headsets due to Sony's Bluetooth restrictions.

Did you watch the video’s listed before branding them as ‘fake’? The Octorious video, for example, is about connecting headphones via a Bluetooth adaptor

Could you potentially cover how awful microphones sound on the ps5? I have the razer blackshark v2 pro (2023) and it sounds awful for my discord and party on the ps5 but crystal clear and retains it’s depth on the pc.
@nicenikhil1994 2 місяці тому
I just connect my headphones to my smart tv and the PS5 audio is routed to them. Not recommended if you care about latency but good enough for story focused games.

Arctis Nova Pro wired for me all the way. I have the best sounding mic in any party im in 😅

How does it do with discord ?

I use my Arctis 7X and it works fine for iOS, Switch, PS5 and Xbox if I’m not using A50’s. I can definitely see the issue here though.

0:53 Jumping in to say that this is not the case. My own is listed there, and that is NOT what my video does. I show the same legitimate workaround way to connect any Bluetooth audio device to the console that you mentioned, as do 99% of other videos in search. You still have the natural Bluetooth latency so not ideal, but it is equivalent in performance to a native Bluetooth feature. It's also a very widely known feature. Please do research properly in the future before throwing shade at other channels by calling them "fake", when you clearly never even clicked on any of them. 👍 Good video otherwise! 😊

I just use a Panasonic soundslayer USB neck speaker which supports PS5, I highly recommend to people would rather not wear earbuds or headphones.

Many headsets have low volune on controller port. A wireless headset usually has abit louder volume. Playstation consoles are very limited
