The last official PlayStation gaming headset was pretty mediocre. Will the new generation bring enough improvements?

The verdict

The Sony Pulse 3D Wireless Headset is a straightforward gaming headset for the company's next generation console. It works well on PlayStation 5—not necessarily better than any other compatible headset—and not very well on other platforms. At least it matches the console's color scheme.
