The Best PlayStation 4 Gaming Headphones

Looking to get a PlayStation 4 VR Headset and want the best bang for your buck? Get the HyperX Cloud. Primarily billed as a headset for PC gaming, the HyperX Cloud will net you the best performance without spending as much as you did for the console itself. It's comfortable as a cloud, sounds awesome, and has a mic with crystal clear clarity.

You have to do your research if you're buying a headset for your console of choice—this is something I found out the hard way when I tested 20 different headsets to find the best of the best. Despite headsets advertising cross-platform compatibility, the truth isn't so simple. The audio and microphone will work, but oftentimes the features you paid extra for won't. And that's without even considering the drop in audio quality a console has compared to a PC.

It's a scary thought, but that doesn't mean there aren't some great headsets out there. Sure, you can spend hundreds of dollars on a premium headset, but who has that kind of spare cash? Instead, opt for something that gets high marks without breaking the bank. That's why I recommend the HyperX Cloud.




The HyperX Cloud is a slightly older model that's still the best headset for most gamers. It's extremely comfortable and come packaged with leatherette or velour earcups, an audio control box, and a detachable mic. The aluminum body is strong and durable enough to stand up to any kind of travel if you like to take your gaming on the go.

As far as the audio goes, the Cloud is explosively loud. As long as you take care to dial into a comfortable volume you'll be rewarded with beautiful detail and clarity that's unmatched. That audio clarity extends to the detachable mic, which delivers great sound for team communication.

The Cloud Stinger is the perfect headset for beginners. It's as straightforward as it gets when it comes to gaming headphones. The sound quality is good, though not amazing, and the mic works without a ton of hassle. At $50, what more can you ask for?

The Cloud Stinger supports most platforms—meaning you can swap between PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 without a hassle. The mic isn’t detachable, but it swivels upward to tuck out of the way—which also mutes it. Plus it’s lightweight and comfortable to boot. The only downside is that it doesn’t feel particularly sturdy or hefty. I’d be careful when packing up your console to game at your friend's place, as it could get damaged along the way.
