Of course if you used a wired headset, you could use that on practically anything, but who wants to be wired these days? SteelSeries has a solution for your multi-platform woes and it’s the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless. If you bought a PS4 headset, it probably didn’t work with anything else you owned or if you have a PC headset, same would be true for that. What used to not be great are all the different ways our various gaming platforms’ requirements for gaming headset connectivity. Not to mention the fact that we can pretty much game anywhere now whether it be at home or on the go.

If you're looking for a more budget-friendly headset but like the design of the Arctis Nova, check out the Arctis Nova 1X, which is on sale for only $49 at Amazon. When using the Nova 7 on PS5, the chatmix dial will be inoperable, because third-party headsets can't adjust chatmix on PS5. The only functional difference is the 7P has a sidetone adjustment dial, whereas the Nova 7 has a chatmix dial. It’s a bit more expensive at $156-and since it also works on PS5 and PC, there’s not much of a reason to spend the extra cash. The Arctis Nova 7P is also on sale, and it features a vibrant color scheme that complements the PS5 console. And to go along with the 38-hours of battery life mentioned above, you’ll be glad to hear that just 15 minutes of charging will get you six hours of playtime-which is great news if you forget to plug it in overnight. Other notable features include 360-degree Spatial Audio, pro-grade parametric EQ for crisp sounds, and multiple points of adjustment to ensure a proper fit. The plush earcups are also incredibly comfortable, allowing you to enjoy prolonged gaming sessions without any fuss. One of the coolest parts of the Nova 7 is its retractable microphone, which allows you to stow it away during single-player games (instead of tossing it in a drawer and losing track of it).
