Smyths had the charger this week. They seem to release some and they sold out so might be worth keeping an eye during the week. I got one myself but they sold in less than an hour

Anyone buying an alternative to the Pulse 3D headset? Reading a lot of reviews and looks like it's great "for the price" but I'm looking to have a gander on Black Friday for some good deals on better headsets.

Any suggestions? Definitely want to make the most of the new 3D tech.

I have a Bose headset that worked great on my PS4, so hoping it does the same job on my PS5. Will hold off buying the new 3D headset for a while.

wired Bose or blutooth as I couldn't get my QCII's to work with it?

Do bluetooth headsets work with PS5 over bluetooth? I have the Sony WH XM10002.. Will they work wirelessly?

Steel Series have said they are releasing an update for the headsets, SteelSeries Pro + GameDAC as well, to optimise these for PS5. Its because of the way Sony have implemented USB Audio apparently, suppliers just have to update to catch up.

It should be soon, people are hounding them for it and SS are normally decent. Yeah, plug in the headset to laptop and update through their software I'd imagine, that's the way it is for the Arctis Pro anyway!

(Selling a Arctis Pro + GameDAC if anyone's interested!)

It probably won't work at all, Steeleseries switched out the chat mix dial on the Arctis 7 and 7x headsets for a mic monitor dial on the PlayStation specific 7p headset.

Random one. Has anyone come across a long 4 meter charging cable for the PS5 controllers. Had two for the PS4 ones, but the PS5 charging cable is a different type. Cheers

It's just usb C is it? You could get an adapter or a usb C lead anywhere

Cheers, used to be forever buying usb leads for the ps4 because the kids would break them

Super thanks a lot. I’ll grab some of them now. Just handy to have when you are sitting far away from the Tele and you have forgot to charge the controller .

They are not the same ones

For anyone looking for the PS5 Charging Station or Headset, DID have them in stock, but their website is broken. Just bought the charging station on the phone just there! You just need to call them, apparently over 100 headsets and like 30 charging stations.

Random one but. I’ve been given the go ahead from the missus that I can set up a bit on gaming room.
I’m looking for a monitor for my console. Anyone got any suggestions for some not huge but with decent spec. I know the PS5 is 8k compatible but I’d say that’s crazy expensive. But I’d be looking for something 22”-26” maybe 4K if anyone can guide.

Sweet - read this thread lookin fer a charge dock but think i'll get these instead

jj880

Actually I like the idea of the magnetic connections on the argos ones - will get them instead for few quid extra. Dont fancy havin to replace a 70 euro controller because of a damaged usb c port.

Anyone know is it OK to charge the new PS5 controllers with a Samsung charger from a Notre 20 Ultra or other new Samsung phone?

I have my PS5 rest mode disabled. When it is not switched on and I want to charger the controller. I don't want to have to turn it on just to do that. Once they fix rest mode it won't be an issue as I will have it in rest mode all the time.

Thanks,
M

Great and thanks. How long did it take? How did you know when it was fully charged?

Nope not sure about that. I left it connected overnight and was fully charged in the morning.

Were all the lights gone off on it?

I left it in for 3 hours earlier with the S20 Ultra charger but the light was still pulsing?

Yup they were all off and it was 100% charged. Maybe it just takes longer to charge i guess?

Spunked out on https://www.amazon.co.uk/SteelSeries-Arctis-7P-Wireless-PlayStation/dp/B08H4YMC22 this week

I'm also using this for work instead of a wired uncomfortable cheap headset.

Sound quality is really great and battery life is also good.

You can buy this direct from SteelSeries with 10% off (Newsletter sign up). They also have a sale on their older headsets which are good but don't support the PS5 3D Audio.

Pretty much all of Steelseries headsets support PS5 3D audio, I'm currently using it with the original Arctis 7 headset. I would get the 7x over the 7p due to the additional Xbox support.

A lot of the streamers have 12% off affiliate codes, find a code for a streamer you don't despise and use that.

The Pro with DAC is 50% so roughly the same price as 7P new. Going to try get it Thursday. Tight budget this month with the PS5!

is the pulse headset the only way to go lads or whats the story.

Pretty much all headsets work with the 3D audio. If your budget is €100 the Pulse would probably be the headset to go for.

If you intend to get an Xbox as well I would spend the extra €20 to get a set of Steelseries Arctis 1 Wireless for Xbox or Astro A20 Gen(requires and additional €20 dongle for compatibility with the other platform) or the extra €80 to get the Steelseries Arctis 7x.

The two Steelseries headsets are compatible with both platforms without an additional dongle and are both also compatible with the Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite.

thanks very much for the detailed reply

100 would be the limit, im not big into headsets to be honest

Just so I have this right....the PS5 Pulse 3D headset is wireless but uses a dongle plugged into the PS5 to make them wireless?

I use my Bose QC 35's wired to the controller and the suffices for me but I guess you will never get the 3D audio unless you have the PS5 Pulse 3D headset or similar?

Thanks,
M

You can still get 3D audio through the use of a headset connected via a headphone jack. The QC35 IIs are also a far better set of headphones than the Pulse set.

No, literally any headset, even a rubbish one, will give you the 3D Audio as it's handled by the PS5 console itself and sent to the headset, the headset doesn;t do any processing at all. The Pulse '3D' is just a name.

I believe only Sony's Pulse headset can do it wirelessly for now.

Everyone else can get it by plugging into the controller.

You can also use the Gold or Platinum Sony headset for wireless 3D as they're compatible with PS5 too.

Hmmmm. Lots of wireless headsets are compatible but that doesn't mean they're 3D Audio compatible.

SteelSeries have claimed there's are (not just the 7P) but I'd like to see some proper details on it TBH.

Straight from the horses mouth.

On the PS5, you’ll be able to experience 3D Audio with the headphones that many of you already own, either through USB connection to the console, or by plugging your headphones into the DualSense wireless controller’s 3.5mm headset jack.

This probably being the relevant bit? Basically backs up that only the Pulse will deliver it wirelessly for now. Perhaps some USB audio adaptors can be included for delivering 3D Audio via the USB?
