PS5 thread 2.0

I use the Steel Series Arctis 7P+ and it is excellent.

As with everything else on the Console it's a gimmick.

A set of steel series for around 20 quid more will give you same results earphone wise but also work on other devices.

No.

Yep and you can adjust the sound more towards game volume or chat volume.

As I said, I really recommend them. They're a nice piece of kit and I bought them after good reviews from techradar and whathifi and a year on, Im happy with the purchase.

I've never had an issue with my Arctis 7 headset, been using it since 2019.

As for the 7x not working on Playstation, they do. The usb-c dongle that comes with it has a toggle switch that swaps it between PC/Switch/PS/Android and Xbox modes. All of Steelseries wireless Xbox headsets, excluding the Arctis 9x, work on all consoles.

I have the original Arctis 7's for a good few years now, saw me through a ton of college during covid and a ton of gaming over the years.

Still feel great and no real sign of wear. Used them on PS4/PS5 and PC.

Only thing there missing is Bluetooth but I think the later models fixed that iirc.

Got at a great price during black friday too. Had a pair of Siberias before that as well, they were also great but wired, so a bit annoying having the cable hanging around.

Headphones are pretty disposable with me, I tend to wreck them before too long but love my razer kraken tournament edition I've had them for a good few years now and they were relatively cheap. They're a few years old but I still see a lot of streamers using them as they're pretty indestructible even after years of use.

Fully metal headband, Full metal hinges, outer metal ring around earcups as part of the headband. Other headsets might have a metal band or a partially metal hinger but if it's not fully metal or they've not affixed it over a larger area all you're doing is concentrating the stress on the weakest point.

Literally the only and singular issue I've read is one guy was that he managed to snap the 3.5mm jack in half.

They've changed the kraken now but with the exception of the V3 X which they sell as their lightest headset the rest seem to be mostly metal.

Finally get my hands on a PS5 in the morning. How long to get it all set-up with transferring etc.?

I'm curious about this too, I want to use a one 4 all voucher on it.

Haven't turned my Ps5 on in close to 5 months. Was it always this noisy and distracting?

Ruining god of war for me.

Must have been installing stuff ( though I didn't start the game til all that was done) was bad for around 2 hours then it seemed to quieten down.

Right that may have solved your problem but you have switched from uncompressed sound to compressed sound so the audio quality is going to take a massive hit. The first thing I would have done is check your HDMI cable.

That is a pretty serious bug then

They are not there specifically to be hidden loading times but to keep movement as intended and keep players in certain areas. They've noted it does of course help loading but it's done for that purpose.
