Every gamer wants the best sound. With headphones you can completely shut yourself off from the outside world and let yourself be easily carried away by the games you are playing. In addition, headphones are a good choice if you don’t want to buy an extremely expensive sound system. What are the best headphones for your PlayStation 4 and 5?
Sony PS5 Pulse 3D
Price: €99.99

If you have a PlayStation 5, you can’t ignore the official Sony headphones. This model was designed specifically for the new console, so you can expect the best sound for your games. Especially the Tempest 3D audio technology is impressive: you hear the sound all around you, so that the bullets literally fly around your ears while playing your favorite shooter. The two noise-cancelling microphones ensure that you can be heard clearly by your teammates. The headphones also work on a PS4, but the sound quality is not as good as on a PS5.
SteelSeries Arctic 7P
Price: €199.99

The Arctis was also designed with the PS5 in mind, so it’s no surprise that these headphones also support the Tempest 3D technology. If you play games on other platforms, that’s no problem either. You can use the Arctis on a PC, Nintendo Switch and PS4. If we are to believe the manufacturer, the battery of the headphones lasts much longer than that of the Pulse 3D, namely 24 hours. According to Sony, the Pulse will last a maximum of 12 hours. The Arctis is considerably more expensive with a price tag of almost 200 euros against the approximately 100 euros that you pay for the Pulse.
Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2
Price: €149.99

The Stealth 700 was already a decent headset, but with this new model Turtle Beach takes it one step further. The sound quality is excellent, with the support for 3D audio a welcome addition over the predecessor, while the sound from the folding microphone is also good. Still not completely satisfied with the sound? Then you can adjust the sound settings of the Stealth 700 completely to your liking via an app on your phone or computer. In addition, a full battery lasts up to 20 hours. However, the headset is fairly tight around the head and the Stealth 700 is also quite heavy, which you start to feel after a few hours of gaming. The price tag is fairly attractive at around 150 euros.
HyperX Cloud Stinger
Price: €61.00

If you prefer not to pay more than 100 euros for a good headset, you can opt for the Cloud Stinger from HyperX. The headphones emphasize comfort and are very light on the head, so that they are still comfortable on your head even during long gaming sessions. The sound quality is fine, but don’t expect the best of the best in this area. You can make some limited adjustments to the sound on the headphones themselves, but at high volumes, the Cloud Stinger sometimes fails. The microphone is sturdy and you can fold it up completely. Overall the best budget option.
