These are OK. The sound is decent, especially if you EQ them to your taste with the ps5's built in equalizer. The design is pretty slick. Comfort can be hit or miss depending on your head size.
However, if you have a large head, just trust me right now,do not buy these. They will eventually snap from the extra stretching from your larger head and the way the headband puts pressure on the yokes. The plastic is not durable, which is one of the ways I'm sure they managed to cut material costs versus something like an Audeze Maxwell (who makes the drivers for these).

Any recommendations on a large-head wireless headset under $150?
Had a Corsair that snapped a hinge after years of daily use. Just returned a Hyper X and a Razer (too small), and returned an AOC (poor quality). Audeze looks great but is above the budget.

The Razer Blackshark series has always been good to me. I have a comically large head — far larger than what most people consider "large" — and the Blackshark v3 pro in particular is stupid comfortable. I got mine for about that price on a sale.
Not worth it. Had a pair and the plastic headband snapped within 6 months of moderate use. The sound is great, but the materials are extremely flimsy. Invest in a better pair that will last, as you will end up spending more anyway once these break.
I have these and really enjoy them. I use it more for my PC nowadays, but the PS Link system works really well vs. bluetooth. Also, you can pair your phone while it's linked so you can still get notifications when gaming. Had these for half a year now and no issues on the quality. My head is medium
I have these and love them. I was scared off by all the "It's going to break!" comments, and it just might! But I've had mine for about 2 years now and no issues at all (and I'm a big-head). I only use mine at home though, not on-the-go. I use mine as my primary audio device at the moment and like them. The fit is fine even on my head, the exception being that if you try to wear it ON TOP OF the PSVR2, it's a bit of an odd fit, but it still works.
It works on the PS5 but also connects to the PS Portal if you have one.
What I will add though: I have the Black one: https://www.bestbuy.com/product/s...JXHQ3C2QZY
This one has a carrying case, which I don't think the white one does. Same price. Since the black is a newer version, I do wonder if they improved it in any way? Almost all the cases of broken/damaged ones, seem to be the white one.
I used to be a bit of an audio/headphone snob, and these absolutely aren't the greatest, but the thing is they work so much easier and without wires compared to other options. I don't use the mic at all, just use it as a headset, so I can't comment on that.

I think Razer makes very good headsets at multiple price points. Their customer service is very good also. I had a Nami and had issues with the mic, after filling out a support form they simply shipped me another one and I sent the one I had back.
As for Sony PlayStation headsets, I've had multiple iterations. They do seem to have a "point-of-failure" thing with all of them. You can baby them but it's not always controllable (accidentally dropping for instance). If you think these are tight when wearing, it's possible that you can stress the plastic in areas that will create a failure over time. If possible I'd recommend getting the one with the case to help house them when not in use as that also can protect from elements like dust and temperature changes.
