I burn through headsets and controllers like it is my damn job, they are always breaking on me... I've gone through several of the more expensive headsets within the last couple of years, but this cheaper pair has lasted 9 months already and they still work great. The sound is awesome, the speaker/mic is excellent, they're comfortable, and I never have issues hearing others, hearing the game, or other people hearing me. They have been far more reliable and durable than the more expensive headsets ever were.
It just plugs into your controller, whoch is wireless anyway, so it's not like you are stuck six feet away from your PS5 or anything. It eats up the battery on your controller a little faster, since the battery us literally being used for both the controller itself and the headphones, but it is not a dramatic change.
My solution to this, was buying a ten foot charging cable for the controller, since I'm usually pretty close to my tv while playing anyway, and just always having it plugged in while I play. That way, I'm almost ten feet away and my controller never dies, AND my headset is plugged in for maximum ambience as I play.
If I need to get up and grab a drink and don't feel like taking the headset off becsuse I am in the middle of a conversation, I can just unplug the charging cable from the controller and just keep the controller in my hand and the headset on my head. I can literally go anywhere in the house while doing this and the other party can still hear my clearly.
The only drawback is your ears may get a little sore after a very long game marathon, but it takes a while. Like, a long while... Like, 6-8 hours in, when you should be getting off and taking a break anyway. But they are generally quite comfortable unless you have giant ears that go beyond the little ear cups.
