Basically I have an old PS4 in my bedroom that I still use a lot and I finally treated myself to a PS5 for the living room last month. I am tired of using the crappy wired earbuds that came with my phone because the wire is always getting tangled in my controller or hitting my chin when I move. I want one nice wireless headset that I can use for both consoles but I dont know if that is even possible or if I have to buy two separate ones?

I read somewhere that PlayStation doesnt let you use normal Bluetooth headphones like the ones I use for my phone which seems really weird but I guess that is just how they do it. Something about a USB stick you have to plug in? I am located in the US and I have a few specific things I am looking for if anyone can help me pick something out.

• Budget: I have about $150 saved up maybe $180 if it is really high quality and will last me a few years.


• Setup: It needs to be really easy to use because I am terrible with technology. I just want to plug it in and have it work.


• Comfort: I wear glasses and I have a kind of big head so I need something that isnt going to squeeze my brains out after an hour of playing.


• Use case: I mostly play single player games like the new Spider-Man and God of War but I play with my brother on the weekends so it needs a decent microphone so he can actually hear me.


• Battery: I dont want to have to charge it every single hour because I always forget to plug things in at night.

Is there a specific brand that is better for beginners? I saw the Sony ones called Pulse but some people said they are uncomfortable if you have big ears. If I get one with the USB stick do I have to keep moving the stick back and forth between the two consoles every time I switch rooms? I am really worried I am going to lose that tiny piece...

then i saw those mous limitless 5.0 cases which look cool but some people were saying the screen protection isnt great if it falls face down on a rock. my budget is like 60 or 70 bucks max. which case is actually gonna survive a nasty drop on concrete?

I know the basics about refresh rates and g-sync and all that but honestly Im torn between going with a massive 49-inch super ultrawide or sticking to a more standard 34-inch. I saw some people saying the 32:9 aspect ratio breaks the UI in some older RPGs which would suck because I still play older stuff like Skyrim or New Vegas on the regular. Also Im kinda worried about OLED burn-in if I use it for work too but the contrast levels look insane for those dark dungeon crawls. My budget is right around $1200 maybe a bit more if its actually worth it for the HDR performance.

Should I go for the Alienware QD-OLED everyone raves about or is there something better for pure immersion that wont give me constant anxiety about static UI elements burning into the screen?

I did a bunch of research and I keep seeing the CalDigit TS4 and some Anker docks like the 575 pop up everywhere but the price gap is huge and I dont know if I actually need to spend that much. People swear by the CalDigit for Macs but Im using a Dell XPS 15 for my work and I read a few forum posts saying it can be buggy with Windows drivers when you try to push dual 4k or even dual 1440p displays. Then I looked at the cheaper Anker ones but some reviews say they get crazy hot and just stop working if you plug in a mouse and keyboard at the same time as the monitors which sounds like a total nightmare.

I need to find something that can handle:

• Two 27-inch 1440p monitors


• My mechanical keyboard and a wireless mouse


• An external SSD for my footage

I gotta order something by Friday because my next big project starts Monday. My budget is around $200 but I guess I could go to $250 if it means I wont have to deal with flickering screens mid-edit. Is there a middle ground option that actually works for PC setups or should I just bite the bullet on the expensive stuff? I just want it to be plug and play without me having to troubleshoot every morning...

I need something for my Chicago office under $50 that wont fry my laptop. Which hubs actually offer the best value right now?
