    I’d easily take a worse mic sound to not have a boom mic. It’s hard not to laugh at the way people look with it

    Very good review

    I hate the new CNET logo it looks old

    • Christopher Spilsbury

      May 2, 2022 at 12:43 pm

      They need a better one than that. They should go back to the old one. The old one screams CNET

    • Peter Perez

      May 3, 2022 at 12:58 am

      Yeah the proper one looks modern and newer lol

    • E'Osiris

      Looks like something made by a hippie or hipster barista

      I thought I was being trolled when I saw it a few days ago tbh.

    Steel series hasn’t failed me yet, but all the other brands mentioned; yup.

    Can you use any headphone that has a 3.5mm cable? Like can I just use my XM3’s?

    • Torkijo

      May 2, 2022 at 1:02 pm

      Havent tried for microphone, but for sound yes, jsut plug thenm into the controller

    • José Manuel Chaparro

      May 2, 2022 at 2:07 pm

      The XM3’s works just for audio, the mic does not work.

    Don’t have any of these..
    got an old pair of “Corsair Vond Elite surround” all-black.that I picked up some years ago at a regional Black Friday sale at around 30euro here in Denmark.
    not been used a lot, but does the job… like they are quite big with huge earcups and comfortable but I reckon they could be to big if you got a little small head and small ears.. for a male nordic adult head.. the size is great..

    Arctis 7X, works with everything and sounds amazing.

    • Travis Floyd

      May 3, 2022 at 2:50 am

      Everyone sleeps on the 7x, I’ve had mine for awhile now. I love it, ps5, xsx and pc

    • SoleEpiphany

      May 3, 2022 at 2:58 am

      @Travis Floyd it’s great, there for a while it was sold out but it works with every platform. Can’t go wrong. Even the wife loves it on her iPad Pro 🤣

    • Emmanuel Contreras

      May 3, 2022 at 8:12 am

      Have ‘em too, wish they were a little louder but they sound great still. Only pain for me is having to unplug/ replug dongle into different console & the little switch on the dongle itself… I realize this is a first world problem but just my little issues with the headset.

    Your new logo looks awful. But maybe we will get used to it over time.

    • Zachary Rautenkranz

      May 2, 2022 at 5:11 pm

      Why? Why do you feel like you need to say this. 1 no one asked your opinion. 2 if you don’t like is why can’t you just ignore it. Lastly if you don’t like something why do you feel like you need to say something

  10. Adin Chandra

    May 2, 2022 at 2:16 pm

    I didn’t realize if CNET has changed the Logo. From usually I see into new one

    First let me choose ps5

    Can’t buy a PS5. Couldn’t care less which headphones work well for it.

    • Thanh Ha

      May 2, 2022 at 3:06 pm

      That’s a personal problem my guy

    • zero11010

      May 2, 2022 at 3:20 pm

      @Thanh Ha you’re right …. Because clearly MOST of the population can find them fine. So, it’s just a personal problem. You’re so good at this.

  13. Krishanu Singh

    May 2, 2022 at 3:13 pm

    Please check out Logitech 435 Wireless headsets for PS5. They are great as per their value.

    I wear glasses, so thanks a ton CNET for getting this guy to review these! I don’t find many video reviews that will speak to comfort levels while wearing glasses. — I think I’m go with the SteelSeries pair.

    I have a ps 3d pulse headset. My opinion its a below average headset. Feels cheap, battery is decent, it is comfortable. Don’t care much for the internal mic. I miss flipping the outside mic up for mute.There is some others little petty reasons that make me miss my prior heads also. 200 or less headset is the HyperX brand. I miss that headset. Again just my opinion

  18. Human Entrails

    May 2, 2022 at 6:37 pm

    Don’t buy the pulse 3D. One of the worst headsets I’ve bought for a console that’s supposed too be good. Spend a couple extra dollars and you won’t be disappointed. The soundstage isn’t good at all.

    • Buuboi214

      May 3, 2022 at 6:39 pm

      So what would you recommend?

    • Human Entrails

      May 4, 2022 at 2:26 am

      @Buuboi214 I didn’t have an issue with any of the recommendations but the pulse 3D. I’ve spent way too much money on headsets over the years and just went with the basic Sony OEM headset and Xbox OEM headset. Stick to the $100-$200 range for wireless headsets and as in the video the HyperX is probably the best for under $100.

    Where’s the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 gaming headphones w/ mic ???….

  20. Mike A

    May 2, 2022 at 8:35 pm

    I was hoping you would have included the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro in the comparison which are the headphones I currently own and use.

  21. Ahmed Ehab

    May 3, 2022 at 4:33 am

    What about the new hyperx alpha wireless headset?

  22. Micheal Adebz

    May 3, 2022 at 5:39 am

    can we all just spam “change your logo” on every video they post now.

  23. Michael Boys

    May 3, 2022 at 9:14 am

    I use the pulse 3D and I love them. They sound brilliant!

  24. 2b 1a

    May 3, 2022 at 2:36 pm

    sorry guys, whoever did your new logo needs to get back to the drawing board

  25. Brown Nomad 20 malone

    Got my steelseries 7p+ and im loving it. Using it everyday on a diff flatform..

  26. Kizzy Katawonga

    May 4, 2022 at 1:14 am

    Great round up. I would have added the new Razer Kraken V3 lineup.

  27. DeeZ NutZ

    May 4, 2022 at 5:10 am

    I got the 3d pulse I didn’t get to try other brands so to me there great

  28. DeeZ NutZ

    May 4, 2022 at 5:20 am

    Why didn’t they review the turtle beach gen 2
