Radio stations, police chatter and city noise: GTA has always sounded great. A good headset makes the most of it, especially for late-night sessions.

Our picks

We don't list prices because they change daily. Amazon shows the current price.

Bluetooth-only headphones don't carry PS5 game audio properly, because the PS5 doesn't send game sound over standard Bluetooth. Pick a headset with a USB wireless adapter (or PlayStation Link), or plug in with a cable.

Wired or wireless?

Wireless is more comfortable on the sofa. Wired is cheaper and never needs charging. PlayStation and Xbox use different wireless standards, so check that a headset supports your console, or buy a multi-platform one.

Arctis Nova Pro Wireless or Omni?

SteelSeries launched the Arctis Nova Pro Omni in 2026 as the successor to the Nova Pro Wireless, which is still sold. If you buy the older model, choose the PlayStation or Xbox version that matches your console.
