First, because it remains in contact with the supplied wireless adapter very reliably and also over greater distance **, which pulses in one of the three USB A ports of the PS5.

Worth knowing: The USB dongle works easily on PS4, Windows PCs, as well as on all common Macs or MacBooks. Since the headset has a jack plug input , you can also use it in combination with a PSVR headset or other bones with jack plug output - the necessary connection cables is at and is 1.25 meters long.

For a really successful acoustics , rich bass and clear heights meanwhile ensure 40mm drivers, which are enclosed by circular, extremely comfortable earpoors.

The operation is also very thoughtful.

In addition to this, the pulse 3D headset has two hidden microphones ** in the left earphone, which clearly clearly transferred language in chat with others. A round-by-carefree package so? Quite, especially since the recommended retail price with about 100 euros is more than appropriate. Only the battery life falls noticeably shorter than those of significantly more expensive professional models in practice operation with ten to twelve hours.

The best headsets of third-party manufacturers

The PS5 attaches great importance to backward compatibility. Common PS4 headsets thus usually work easily with the PS5.

The HD camera - the gadget for streamer and Youtuber

Care: The flexibility of standing foot is not quite as big as the current Playstation camera for PS4. On screens or TVs with a particularly thick edge you can therefore often not clamp the HD Camera. Current flat screens are usually no problem.

If ShareFactory is used, the HD camera also offers tools to Remove the background . So, for example, you struck a red or green cloth behind you or sits in front of a blank wall in the just mentioned colors, Share Factory can remove the background software side and swap against another. While your gameplay streams, however, the use of this interesting feature is not yet possible.

The best charging stations

After about 15 hours , the dualSense Wireless Controller usually goes out the puffs and he has to go back to the USB-C charging cable. The latter, however, not infrequently ensures cable salad on the desk or in front of the TV. To avoid exactly these, PS5 buyers can currently choose from all sorts of charging stations.

Premium model is undoubtedly the dualSense Charging Station of Sony for about 35 euros (now buy at Mediamarkt!). Up to two dualSense controllers have space here in vertical position. Good idea: The station itself pulls its electricity via the supplied AC adapter .

Very good in the hand and leaves one too in terms of user-friendliness Successful impression.

Outspeed, the slightly sensible control cross with ok button in the middle and the back button below.

Keyword apps: The four latter treats the manufacturer own speed-dial keys in the lower third of the remote control. It's a pity that the keys currently do not have to be re-assigned.

Second special feature: At the top in the middle is a microphone button. He is currently not working yet. However, it can be assumed that Sony also donates the PS5 earlier or later voice control functionality. As seen, buyers are therefore already established in this respect.
