    Can someone help choose an open back gaming headset for me?

    Hey guys. I game on a PS5. Yes I know not a PC so that limits my choices on headphones/headsets to buy. Buying a dac, headphones and separate mic won't sound as good as using them on a PC. So I will stick with a headset (built in mic) though since most of the good headphones will sound crap on...
