What sources or DAC/amp do you plug your headphones into?
Budget?
Anything you like or do not like about the Meze 99 headphones?
Is this for FPS gaming or other gaming?

Playing only on ps5.
dac/amp - G6 now and maybe later Hel2
Budget - I think 300-350 usd (new/used)
Like - I like weight of them and overall sound but don’t like clamp force and small earpads.
for all games, not only FPS

Great review OP.
I have a Razer Kraken Tournament edition myself. Very nice headset for what it is designed to do.

Hey first post ever here, it’s been great lurking and learning reading through these threads especially the EXCELLENT reviews by the OP MadLustEnvy. Finally had a question for my first post.

Got a PS5 and want the best wireless headphone for it. I game from my couch so wired isn’t really an option for me.

I’m very big on using VSS on playing my mostly 3rd person single games as I feel it adds to feeling like your in the game (I don’t do FPS).....Was all set on getting the Audeze Penrose based off MadLustEnvy’s review but he also stated recently that the PS5’s tempest engine DOESNT work on every game for VSS and just gives enhanced stereo for older Ps4 games . Now I’m leaning towards the Arctis Pro Wireless so I can connect it directly to the PS5 use the Tempest when available and then use the Arctis optical port via the Tv when I want to use the Arctis DTSX for older ps4 games.

Am I overthinking this and should I just get the Penrose or push through with the Arctis for its dual Tempest 3D and DTSX option? Or is there a different headset I’m not thinking about?
Thanks!

Open? I need only closed type of headphones

And not for FPS? I like bass in games, why not. It’s headphones for games, not for critical listening

Guys, I'm a Sennheiser HD 598 owner thinking about switch to a wireless headphone/headset.

Are there any headphone/headset that are comparable to the Sennheiser HD 598 in audio quality and confort?

I will use it to play offline games on PC and PS5.

Thanks!

Any suggestions for headphones under $150 for non-competitive, purely single player games (PlayStation 5)? Something I can just stick into the controller and not have to worry about amps etc.

Perhaps a Creative Aurvana Live. I can't think of much that the controller can power. The internal amp is weak.

Sorry, missed the part about closed cans.

If going wireless, check out Sennheiser wireless headphones (it's what I would look into).

This is so cute!

Ended up just getting the Penrose for the PS5. Enjoying them so far, miss it having its own VSS for older ps4 games but hopefully Sony can update the Tempest engine to add 3D audio to every game in the future instead of just some games.

Tempest work fine with Penrose? I mean Bluetooth connection

Penrose main wireless isn't Bluetooth...
