I’ve been dealing with constant issues with the Pulse Elite headset since I bought them last year. I’m going to send them for repair, but I’m going to buy something new and looking for suggestions.

What headsets are you using?

I’ve had the same pair of a40s for probably eight years now and they’re still perfect. Never had issues.

They’re wired, I’ve always preferred not having to deal with batteries so perfect for me, but that may be a deal breaker for others. They’re $150 I think.

Looks like the A40s are hard to find now. Honestly leaning towards not caring if they are wired or not, depending on where they connect. Do you connect them to the controller or the console?

Oh wow that’s worrying if they’re getting hard to find.

They connect to the controller. You can get a little mixamp for Xbox controllers that lets you control volume, mix and a mute button. For PS it just plugs into the bottom of the controller with a standard aux cable. Not sure if there is something similar to the mixamp for PS5, don’t use a headset often on mine.

I love my a40s too, but those were strictly a PC item for me due to the cords.
