The best headphones for PlayStation 4

If there's anything I've learned in all my years of gaming, it's that headsets can make or break your gaming experience. Not only do you want good sound quality, but you also want a comfortable fit and a microphone that won't make you want to rip your hair out. From the more expensive ASTRO A50 Wireless headset to perfectly fit all your needs to the Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon as the best budget option, we did all the research for you to make sure you get the most out of your money without having to do a trial and error.

Long battery life

ASTRO A50 Wireless

Staff pick

With Dolby 7.1 surround sound and a built-in MixAmp DAC, the A50 produces some of the finest sounds you can find in a gaming headset. Featuring 15 hours of battery life, this headset charges back up in its magnetic charging cradle. As far as wireless is concerned, it connects to the PS4 through a base station using a 5GHz wireless transmitter.

ASTRO Gaming A10

ASTRO's entry-level wired headset is one of its most compelling. Made from "damage resistant polycarbonate," the A10 should be able to take a beating in your gaming bag. You're not getting much in the way of fancy features, but you do get a solid, well-made, great-sounding headset with an inline volume remote so you never need to take your eye off the game.

ASTRO Gaming A40 TR Wired Headset + MixAmp Pro TR

The MixAmp Pro TR bundle is perfect for any streamer. It allows you to control your game and voice audio as well as customize your EQ settings for the best gaming or streaming experience. You get the same durable structure with the A40 as you do with ASTRO's A10. The A50 mod kit for the noise-canceling ear cushions is compatible with this headset as well. One thing the A40 offers, that the other models don't, are customizable speaker tags you can remove and switch out for different looks.

Thanks to its innovative "ski-band" design which suspends the headset using a taut fabric band, the Arctis 7 is one of the comfiest headsets around.

Find the headset that's best for you

Finding the best pair of headphones can be a little difficult. If you don't have a good sound quality and a decent microphone, then you might as well throw your money in the garbage instead of buying that off-brand headset you picked up from the corner store. There are plenty of great options available that can fit your budget and have amazing quality for roughly the same price as your average $50 pair.

If you don't want to break the bank and still want exceptional audio quality, the Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon is the way to go. It has all the necessary features for a comfortable and quality gaming experience, but for a price that fits most household budgets. If money is of no issue to you and you're looking to get the best of the best, pick up the ASTRO A50 Wireless. With ASTRO A50 you'll be basking in the complete surround sound that will help you pinpoint the footfalls of your next victim before they're close enough to see you.

Goby Labs Microphone Sanitizer

Keep your headset clean, sanitary, and smelling nice with the Goby Labs apple scented disinfectant spray.
