honestly i am just so fed up with my current steelseries arctis 7p because the dongle keeps cutting out every single time i move my head an inch and i just cant do it anymore. its driving me insane especially when im in the middle of a raid or playing cod and suddenly the sound just drops out for five seconds. ive tried resetting it and firmware updates and everything but its just junk at this point and im ready to just toss it out the window.
with the ps5 pro coming out i really want something that actually works and sounds premium because i play for like 4-5 hours at a time usually late at night here in seattle so i cant use my speakers. i need something wireless obviously but it has to be reliable. i have about $250 saved up for this and i want to get it ordered before the pro arrives next month. what are you guys actually using that doesnt disconnect every five minutes? i was looking at the pulse elite or maybe the a50s but ive heard mixed things about the comfort. my ears get really hot after an hour or so. anyway just tell me what is actually worth the money right now for the ps5 and the new pro model coming out...
Regarding what #2 said about the a50s being bulky, i totally agree! i switched to the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro 2023 Edition and it literally feels like wearing clouds. Quick question tho, do you wear glasses while you play? it makes a huge difference for heat.
tbh i totally agree with what the first guy said about the budget, but unfortunately ive had a lot of issues with the big name premium brands lately. i tried those a50s thinking they would be the dream but they just felt clunky and way too hot after like 30 mins. really disappointing considering the price tag. since you're doing those long night sessions and hate the heat, here is what i found actually works:
Man, that disconnect issue sounds like a total nightmare, especially during a raid! I'd be ready to throw mine out the window too lol. Since you're looking for that PS5 Pro upgrade, honestly, you dont even need to spend the full $250 to get something absolutely amazing. I've been using the Sony PlayStation Pulse Elite Wireless Headset for months and it's been rock solid. The planar magnetic drivers sound fantastic for the price, and since it uses that new Link tech, I haven't had a single drop. Plus, it's usually around $150 so you save a hundred bucks for a new game or two! Another killer option if you're worried about heat is the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 Wireless Gaming Headset. They have these cooling gel-infused cushions that are a total lifesaver for those 5-hour sessions. I used to get the sweaty ear thing too, but these stay pretty chill. The sound is super punchy for COD and the battery life is just insane... like 80 hours or something crazy. Seriously, I forget to charge mine for a week and they're still fine. If you want to go the more pro route without breaking the bank, look at the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro 2023 Edition for PlayStation. The mic is literally the best I've ever heard on a wireless set, and they're light as a feather. Ngl, the comfort on those is top tier and they breathe way better than those old SteelSeries ones did. You really cant go wrong with any of these, and they all leave you with extra cash in your pocket!
