Need a good new PS5 headset

My p.o.s Pulse Elite snapped by the earpiece somehow, not like it stayed connected to my PS5 anyway, however, I need a new one that supports the HD 3D audio. Anyone have any good experience in any of the other ones under $300 that support it? Anyone use the Inzobe H9's?
 
Isn't the whole gimmick of PS5 3D audio that any headset can use it? It's software-based.

Just plug your favourite headset into the controller. I use the Sennheiser Game Zero (no longer available).

Pretty satisfied with the Maxwell, even if it's not totally the revolution that the reviews can lead you to believe (maybe I have not calibrated it well)

Is this better than the pulse 3Ds?

I have elites that are terrible due to drop outs and crackling noises

So I am considering a new headset, or going back to pulse 3D?

Does this pair you recommended work for switch and Xbox too?

They do work for Xbox but don't know about Switch and yeah I totally recommend them over any closed back headphones

Just so you know though being open backs sound will leak out if you need them to be silent for others like trying to play in bed while a significant other is trying to sleep

Corn, my man, please try this one. Best sound quality I ever have had.

I'm very happy with my wireless Arctis from a couple years ago.
Not exactly the same model as in the link but similar:

It's very lightweight, comfortable and the battery lasts forever 🙂

I thought about something like this (on pc) but my issue is that only gaming headsets have volume control, it seems like regular headphones never have volume control, which is quite annoying.
Of course on pc I can lower the volume of windows, but it's annoying if you want to record gameplay for example, the recorded sound will be lower.

The pair I linked the cord is detachable and the VMODA mic plugs in and that has a wheel control for volume which works nicely

I love my Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro.

I'm actually in the same boat as OP, looking for a good/decent headset.

In the 100-150 euro range what would you recommend? I've never bought a headset that cost more than 100 bucks tbh...

Love my Razer Blackshark V2 on PC but I'm thinking of wireless for the PS5 and no clue what to choose. Overwhelmed by the options đź‘€

I'm using the Arctis Steelseries 7+

Best headset I've ever used. Very comfy and high audio quality.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I've done an extensive amount of research AND found the Arctis Steelseries 7+ for 99 euro's instead of 199 euro's. Just bought it.
Now all I have to do is patiently wait for the PS5 Pro to arrive in November.
