PS5 Headset Recommendation (Nobody can hear what I'm playing)

[zamardii12]

Good morning all,

I've been getting complaints from my wife that even with my headphones on she can hear what I am playing. I have the PS5's official Pulse headset, but I need something that completely keeps sound only audible to me. I am not talking about voice chat or anything, but just game sounds. I want something that I can put on my head, crank up the volume, and not worry about whether I am disturbing anyone outside myself.

You can try Sony's new Inzone gaming earbuds.

But it seems like the more practical solution is for your wife to wear her own earbuds or plugs .

The Sony Pulse headset is already closed-back and has some of the least sound leakage for over-the-ear headphones. Is she sitting right next to you while you game, or something? Unfortunately, the only way to get less leakage is to use a pair of earbuds. I only use buds at work for music, but I'm really happy with the Betron DC950HI I use for that purpose.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but have you had your hearing checked recently? I have not noticed this with the pulse headset.

You’re already wearing a headset, sounds like she just doesn’t want you gaming at all. Maybe she would prefer you to be in another room, or a separate building when you game?
