Settling in for a gaming session, especially after a long day’s work, can be a deeply satisfying experience that’s made all the better when you can truly lock in. One of the best ways to do that is to cut off the outside world with a powerful headset beaming your game’s audio and your party chat straight to your ears.
Sony’s at the ready with the solution: thePlayStation Pulse Elite Wireless Headset, currently £100, down from £124.96 at Amazon.

This sleek and premium-looking headset has the features to match its appearance, with lossless and lightning-quick wireless connection via the included USB dongle, and planar magnetic drivers that elevate the audio to more detailed and realistic heights.
It’s got a decent reputation withAmazon customers, with an average score of 3.8 out of 5 stars from over 1,150 ratings. “I can honestly say the audio is fantastic, the headset is comfortable, and everything about [it] is brilliant,” said one five-star review.
“Overall, this headset has been an absolute game-changer for me, delivering amazing audio, comfort, and performance,” said another happy customer. “I highly recommend it to any serious gamer looking for an upgrade.”

Another said: “The 3D sound is incredible, the controls are more intuitive than the previous gen, and the simultaneous play where you could be playing PS while listening to a song from your iPhone at the same time is a game-changer. Overall, it’s a big success.”
“The device is plagued with disconnection issues,” said one user. “Annoyingly, each disconnect requires you to insert the dongle again. I often find that doesn’t work all the time, so then I have to turn off the PS5 and boot it again.”
Another reviewer noted a personal issue: “The fit after an hour is very uncomfortable with me wearing glasses.”
