Hey Duders!
I need some tech advice by anyone confident in their headphone/sound lore.
I'd like to set myself up quite comfortably for headphone audio using my PS4 and eventually my PS5 whenever I can get a hold of one.
I'm currently using some sort of old model Turtle beach headset from like 2014, I'd like to move passed it - audio seems okay but its got this huge chord and I'd love to just go full wireless and I want to make sure I'm getting the best possible sound quality I can get for newer games.
I was looking at the new PS5 headset, seems like it works on PS4 too so it'll cover both bases which I like. Reviews seem all over the place though but it is affordable. Only like 150 bucks.
The big caveat - I own a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort QC35s with noise canceling and some of the best audio I've heard in a headset. I use them on my PC when I game on there via bluetooth and its just fantastic. I'm not sold with them on PS4 though, I have to jack into the controller in order for them to work and I find that the latency and the audio quality is questionable compared to what I KNOW they can put out from my experience on the PC. Is there a way I can run them wired direct to the console or connect them somehow via a specialized dongle accessory for a better audio experience?
Was hoping PS5 would allow bluetooth but seems like they cheaped out of that route to sell their own headsets.
TLDR; I'm fine buying their headset but would rather use my QC35s or something else if there is a markedly better alternative.
