The 7 Best PS4 Gaming Headsets - Fall 2019
Reviews

If you’re both a PS4 and a PC gamer and you’re looking for a headset that you can customize to your heart’s content, then get the Logitech G933. It doesn’t look or feel as premium as the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, nor does it support Bluetooth, but it features three programmable buttons on the ear cups that you can map in the Logitech G Hub to trigger either PC-specific commands, like game macros, or more broad functions like EQ cycling that also work on the PS4. The newer Logitech G935 headphones have improved audio quality, but their microphone is worse and they don’t have as many connection options as the other Logitech, which come with an in-line mic and RCA cable for additional audio sources.

Get the Arctis Pro Wireless if you game mostly on PS4 and don’t want to need access to a PC to customize your headphones. However, if you’re also a PC gamer, you’ll want to get the Logitech G933 to gain access to their impressive customization options.

If you find you have a hard time with other headsets fitting your head properly and want a more ergonomic fit, go with the Astro A50 Gen 4 2019. Their controls aren't as good as the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, and their customizable EQ requires using their software on a PC as opposed to being accessible directly on the base station, but they have wider and deeper ear cups and a very adjustable headband which tends to be more comfortable to most people. Their design even helps reproduce sound more consistently across different people than the Arctis Pro Wireless do. Unfortunately, they don't offer very good portability as they must be used with their base station, so these aren't a gaming headset that could double as headphones for your daily commute.

If you want feature-packed headphones with a customizable EQ, go with the Arctis Pro Wireless. However, if you tend to have a tough time getting headphones to fit comfortably, go with the A50 Gen 4.

If you like having a reliable wired connection to your PS4 but are looking for something less expensive, then check out the HyperX Cloud II. While they’re not customizable like the SteelSeries Arctis Pro GameDAC, they’re still one of the best gaming headsets for PS4; they're very well-built and are super comfortable, which makes them perfect for long gaming sessions. Unfortunately, more trained ears may find they sound a bit unbalanced in the treble range, which could make these headphones noticeably sharp and piercing on brighter tracks. Thankfully, they have an outstanding microphone which does a great job separating speech from background noise even in very loud environments. If you want a headset that reproduces audio more accurately and are customizable without breaking the bank, consider the Logitech G433, though they don’t feel as comfortable or as well-built as the HyperX.

Get the SteelSeries if you feel strongly about audio fidelity and need a great EQ, but if you care more about comfort and an excellent microphone, go for the HyperX.

If you value microphone quality above all else, then get the HyperX Cloud Stinger. They don't feel as sturdy or well-built as the Corsair HS60, but their ear-cup design isolates a bit more noise to help block out ambient noises while gaming. Their biggest advantage, however, is their microphone which is significantly better than the HyperX which will please fans of multiplayer games who want an excellent microphone. They sound pretty good overall but the Corsair offers a better-balanced sound.

Get the Corsair if you want a very well-built budget headset with very good audio reproduction, but if you want the best microphone you can get in this price range, go with the HyperX.
