THE TEMPEST COMETH

How to get the most out of PS5’s immersive 3D audio

- 

PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech means the console itself is producing immersive object-based 3D audio that’s not reliant on your own home surround sound system. But given TV speaker support only just moved to beta, a headset is still the best way to fully appreciate this revolutionary tech on supported games.

The official headset, made by Sony, is definitely the best way to appreciate 3D audio without breaking the bank, and its colour scheme perfectly complements your PS5 and DualSense. Its sleek design means all the buttons and ports are within easy reach, while its dual noise-cancelling microphones are tucked within the headset. Perhaps the only downside is that its 12-hour battery life is rather short compared to the competition.

Headset to make your Spidey and shooter senses tingle

BRAND TURTLE BEACH

The Stealth 700 Gen 2’s 20-hour battery life, coupled with memory-foam ear cushions with Aerofit cooling gel, makes this one of the most comfortable headsets you can wear. The mic can be muted with just a flip, while it also folds into the ear cup when you’re not using it. If 3D Tempest AudioTech isn’t enough, this wireless headset also has its own Superhuman Hearing feature, which comes highly recommended for first-person shooters.
