Sony's flagship PlayStation 5 wireless headset uses planar-magnetic drivers and a proprietary PlayStation Link wireless protocol that delivers lossless, low-latency audio to PS5, PS Portal, PC, and Mac via a small USB-A PlayStation Link dongle. A built-in 3.5mm input lets you fall back to wired analog audio with the included cable, and Bluetooth lets you mix in a phone call on top of game audio. Battery is 30 hours over PlayStation Link, charged by USB-C either via a cable or by hanging the headset on the optional charging hanger.
