Every new console generation comes with a new wave of gear to amplify your gameplay experience. That’s especially true for headphones, which seem to be getting better and better as time goes by. But what makes any one type better than another? Since there are so many brands out there, each with their own designs and capabilities, it’s important to figure out what you want first.

Some of the factors you should consider are whether you care about comfort or style, and performance or battery life. You don’t need to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars to get away with a good bargain.

The simplest choice you can make is deciding to buy the headphones made specifically for the PS5. The Pulse 3D Wireless Headset retails at $99.99 on PlayStation’s website, but you can likely find this at your local GameStop or similar store. Considering what you get, it’s not a bad buy.

As the name suggests, the headphones utilize 3D audio to improve immersion in games like Call Of Duty: Warzone, which greatly enhances your sensorial awareness. This headset also comes with dual microphones that cancel background noise. Overall, it’s a good idea to invest in these headphones, since they will work seamlessly with your next-gen console.
