I just don't fancy dumping these headphones I've been using for 3 years just because Sony (and Microsoft for that matter) want to be awkward.

But just remember the PS5 doesn't allow for optical output (which is what I'm coming here to moan about anyway), but seeing as you're only looking to spend 30 odd quid I'd say go for the wired recon series of TB headsets.These ones are a good example. They have a 3.5mm jack so they will plug into anything that allows for headphone connections. They'll plug straight into your Dualshock/DualSense controller and they'll work. There are other brands such as Astro and the likes, but I haven't looked at them. I'm very much exclusively a Turtle Beach fan, they've never let me down. LADS!!!!!

You can absolutely get a splitter that will sort your problem though, for example:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Splitter-Extractor-Optical-Toslink-Converter/dp/B08B8QTN1K/ref=sr_1_3?crid=28QH5OGDCOGBS&dchild=1&keywords=optical+hdmi+splitter&qid=1605260258&sprefix=optical+hdmi+splitt%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-3 I have never used one of these so I can't say if it will cause any other issues or anything, but something like that could be a decent workaround for the time being. Should be easy to hide behind your TV too.

All_in_Flynn wrote: » Think I said this previously but you will find it hard to get more bang for your buck with that Samsung TU7100 series. The display on it is very good and whilst its not going to be at the standard as flagship models - its still more than acceptable. Sound is average at best but if you're using a headset then happy days. I haven't looked at the LG so not sure so maybe someone else can advise you which to go for.

SMC92Ian wrote: » It's not a myth, 43 inches is way to small to notice any significance between 1080 and 4k, there just isn't enough size. Head into HN or PC World and look at the TV's on display, you can see with your own eyes. There is a fair few 50-55 LG's that are amazing value. The best thing consoles have is HDR, 4K is over rated imo.
