The 7 Best PS4 Gaming Headsets - Spring 2020
Reviews

The best PS4 wireless headset we've tested so far is the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless. These well-designed, feature-packed headphones come with a wireless transmitter that also doubles as a battery charging station, making them a great choice for any and all gaming needs.

With its relatively low latency and fairly neutral sound profile, you'll get a great gaming experience from these headphones. If you want a little more customization, however, they can be used with the SteelSeries Engine desktop app, which offers a graphic EQ with presets so that you can get the best sound for each scenario you might face. You can also EQ on the fly, directly from the wireless transmitter. The battery is great too: since it uses swappable batteries, you'll be able to charge one battery inside the wireless transmitter while using the other.

On the downside, while the boom microphone performs well, you can't control its volume. The unique ski-band headband design also might not be for everyone as its sizing is limited; if you've got a large head, you might not find this comfortable. Overall, the Arctis Pro is not only one of the PS4 headsets we've tested so far but it's also one of the best gaming headsets.

The best wired PS4 headset we've tested so far is the SteelSeries Arctis Pro GameDAC. Similarly designed to the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, their wired design eliminates the worry of your battery life running out, making them a great choice for gaming when every second counts.

With their well-balanced sound profile, you'll get a touch of rumble without cluttering the rest of the mix. Their integrated DAC offers a lot of connectivity and customization, so you can tweak your audio while you play. If you want even more customization, the companion software also has a great graphic EQ with presets as well as DTS surround sound. Their microphone is great too: if you're at the front of your raid, you'll have no problems being heard clearly, even in noisy environments.

These headphones have a similar headband issue to the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless: the elastic ski-strap might not be the best fit for everyone and might be tight for those with larger heads. They also won't block out much background noise. However, if you prefer the lack of lag that wired headphones can provide, these are a solid choice.

The best budget PS4 gaming headset that we've tested so far is the Corsair HS60. If you're keeping a close eye on your bank account, these wired headphones have a good price to performance ratio, making them an affordable option for gamers.

These headphones have a great build and are comfortable, even throughout most long gaming marathons. They also have a well-balanced sound; its bass has good kick and warmth to bring out the excitement of explosions. If you've got a lot to say to your teammates, the microphone will capture your voice despite moderate background noise. The mic is also detachable so you'll be able to take these from a tournament to the mall without having a noticeable gaming look.

At their price point, they've got simple controls: volume and a mute mic button. As they don't isolate noise well, you might struggle to hear your teammates if you're playing in loud environments. These headphones don't have the best fit for everyone, either; the bass delivery varies across users and you might need to adjust them each time to get a consistent sound. However, they're a decent and affordable option for those watching their spending.
