    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.

    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

    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 .

    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.

    There's a separate thread for monitors /TVs!

    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?

    Cheers,
