I've got a group of gamer friends that I occasionally chat with on PlayStation chat party. On my PS4, I just used a cheap, corded headset that had a TRRS plug that plugged into the PS4's controller.
Late last December, I half-heartedly ordered a PS5 via Sony's website and to my shock, received a PS5 a few days later. The console's been great, but the most prevalent issue I've had with it is the controller's set up.
The PS5's controller has a built-in microphone and speaker. For one, I am hard of hearing so my friends' voices through the tiny, tinny sounding speaker are barely audible to me. For another, every friend in chat has bluntly commanded me to stop using the controller's mic; I sound terrible through it, apparently.
I simply went back to my old, corded headset. However, friends regularly balked that I had an annoying "echo" caused by the PS5. The issue is, when you disable the PS5's controller mic, you disable the input ring of the PS5's TRRS jack. In other words, disable the controller mic, you disable the corded headset mic as well. So, I couldn't eliminate my pesky echo via software settings.
I decided to splurge and get a cordless headset. Initially, I wanted a headset that didn't need a Bluetooth dongle, seeing as the PS5 supports Bluetooth devices....
....So long as said devices aren't speakers or microphones.
So, yeah, I wound up needing the dongle that this headset comes with. Having gone through all this, I can say that this headset has easily paired to the dongle every time I've used it, and I get clear audio from my PS5.
Battery life seems respectable, though I am very cautious about keeping it charged, so I can't say I've pushed the limits in this regard.
Finally, yes, this headset did away with my echo issue. Although... This headset has caused confusion among me and my friends. To me, my friends voices sound a tiny bit different. Our clan leader's voice now has a slightly gravelly undertone to me that I haven't heard before. A female friend's voice sounds a little more squeaky than usual. And my British friend that has a very deep voice now sounds even more bassy to me. All of these friends I've mentioned, among others, all say that I sound differently. None of them will specify how though and all of them claim there's a slight reverb to my voice now. So, none of us are able to discern if this headset's speakers and mic are providing higher or lower quality audio to all of us.
Despite all this, my friends seem relieved that my echo is gone now, and while I'm not a fan of plugging in the dongle, powering this headset up, and waiting for them to pair, I very much enjoy not being tethered to my controller, so it's a tradeoff I'm willing to take.
Finally, I have a very elliptically shaped head (I shave my head, that's how I know) and my ears, as far as I'm concerned, are properly proportioned to my head. I have no fitment issues with this headset and can comfortably wear it for hours on end.
So, if you want a wireless, over the ear headset, be it for a reason like mine or other and don't want to spend hundreds on a name brand set, this one seems to be a good value.
