Recommendations for ps5 headsets , is the elite really worth it or just get a Logitech that we can use with PC as well?, must be wireless . Is the elite really any better than the Logitech?

It is worth a read and has hundreds of reviews and confirms types of PS5 & Xbox & PC compatibility for each review.

My personal recommendation is the HyperX Cloud Wireless series, I have the II but III are out and are $208 at JB hifi.

Yes thumbs up for rtings, they have great reviews. Ps5 has a somewhat annoying issue with audio devices, iirc they only allow certain ones with uac1 fallback so check to be sure it works before buying something.

Personally I would recommend getting a headset which is fabric on the earcups and headrest/headband. The polyurethane or ‘fake’ leather provides a better seal for noise reduction but eventually degrades and flakes away which is not nice. Of course headsets with active noise cancelling need the seal to work well so fabric ones don’t really exist.

Thank you will have a good read, they don’t really count the Sony one as a contender

Not so worried about noise canceling for gaming , might pop down to p b tech tommrow and have a look

No dumb questions fam. The pulse elite has a usb dongle so it can also be used on PC. Best part is it comes with it's own charging cradle which I just double sided taped underneath my desk so it all looks clean and it charges when not in use!

I really rate the Arctis Wireless Pro. It's Xbox and PS5 compatable, very comfortable, great sound. Has Bluetooth. It's musical as well. Good positional sound. Expensive though.

I would buy it again in a heart beat.
