I got these to replace an older set on my ps5. I had a set of rig's before and I thought this set was in my budget and appear to take advantage of the 3d sound technology the ps5 offeres. I plugged these into the controller and they recognized right away. I did go in and make sure before I got to busy in the games that the setting were correct, and they were. I also went in to set up a profile for the 3d audio and I forgot how different that makes the sound. I got into a 1st person shooter game with my friends and these were fantastic. I pretty noticeable upgrade from my last ones. The tone is clear, the bass is balanced and present. The voice pick up of friends talking to me was clear and they said I was clear on their end. When stuff was being shot by me, it was front to back, side to side, up to down, separation was quite good. The comfort of these is quite good. The memory foam is soft and they seam reasonably breathable. I will wear these for an hour or two at a time between breaks and they are comfortable, and stay in place. The covers on the outside of the ear muffs detach and in theory you can buy many different covers. I may explore that later, but for now, I'm enjoying them. The value I feel I got for these is quite good. They appear to be exclusive to best buy, which I did not know, but I think it was a good find. I reccommend these to anyone. I hope they last for quite a few years. I liked my last set a lot and will use them elsewhere, but I'm glad I updated.

As the title suggests, this is a really great wired headset for long PS4 or PS5 gaming sessions. I'm currently using it with my PS5. It feels really comfortable and is easily adjustable for multiple users if needed. It is also fairly lightweight but still feels very sturdy. The microphone boom is also really easy to adjust so folks can clearly hear you. The sound quality is really great too - I would say on par with any high end gaming headset. I can pick up nuances in the game sound that I would typically need to use my surround sound system for when I'm not playing online, so I don't feel like I'm losing anything using these over my sound system connected to my TV. Folks can also hear me really well when I used it for online gaming. They say I come through Crystal Clear. The Playstation logo on each earpiece adds an authentic look to them when used for PS4 or PS5 gaming. Overall, I highly recommend this gaming headset for PS4 or PS5 gaming - from the sound quality to the microphone bringing your voice through crystal clear and without lag, it's a great addition to any PlayStation gamer's setup.

I have been using RIG R5 SPEAR PRO Gaming Headset for a few weeks now (it replaced a wireless headset I used from another brand) and I must say this headset is worth considering. The good news is this is a budget-friendly wired gaming headset that delivers surprisingly rich audio, comfort, and versatility, especially for PlayStation and PC gamers. At first glance, I thought this would be just a basic headset. When I tried it on, I was surprised by the way it set over my head and how comfortable it felt to wear it during gaming and music listening experience. Plush over the ear cushions are soft and well-padded, and I believe they offer a snug fit without feeling tight in my case (head sizes do vary, so see how it fits for you). After a few hours of game play, I did not feel like "Oh, I gotta get these off!". Rig has used breathable fabric in the ear cups which definitely helps prevent heat buildup. And what is more the ear cups covers can be slightly adjusted to make it feel even more comfortable. Audio quality is also another surprise which I did not expect from this low budget headset. This gaming headset features graphene coated 40mm drivers and after a number of hours in game play, I can tell they deliver crisp highs and deep bass, offering immersive sound for both gaming and media. The use of graphene in these is definitely a huge plus. Some interesting info about it is Graphene is a one atom thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is incredibly strong (about 200 times stronger than steel), ultra-lightweight, and highly conductive, therefore making it ideal for audio applications. If you never tried spatial audio features in your PlayStation 5, these are fully compatible with PS5’s spatial audio system. If you are a fan of Call of Duty, you will notice the enhancing directional sound cues and better spatial awareness in 3D audio environments. Flip-to-Mute mic is simple and intuitive and won't disappoint you either when using it Discord for example. Everyone said that it was clear and my voice sounded perfectly fine. I like the wired version of the headsets and do not find it uncomfortable (the dangling cord is never in my way). You always get consistent audio quality, zero latency and no need to worry about your battery dying in the middle of the game play. There is also a 3.5mm jack and it works with almost any device (PCs, consoles, tablets) without needing drivers, dongles or pairing. If you are looking for a budget friendly, wired headset that punches above its weight in sound quality and comfort, the RIG R5 SPEAR PRO is a strong pick.

This is a well-built, solid headset. Very comfortable, and incredible high-fidelity sound. The super cushiony memory foam earpads are very comfortable for long gaming sessions or just lounging around watching videos or listening to music. The durable lightweight frame and quality build have a nice solid feel on my head during prolonged usage. Wired design eliminates the need to worry about charging or battery life and allows for a dependable connection without going through a pairing process when I’m ready to rock. This is designed and licensed for PlayStation 5 and 4, but it’s wired and obviously works well with anything that has a headphone jack. Design and Comfort This headset is all black and has a simple, clean, and smooth look. Very comfortable and soft memory foam earpads that keep comfort in mind during long periods of gaming or music throughout the day. The fit conforms to my head and remains secure but comfortable for my entire listening sessions. Durable but light-weight construction is a must for any long use headphones and these deliver at just 0.74 pounds. Sound Quality Excellent sound quality with minimal harmonic distortion thanks to the 40mm graphene drivers. Large drivers equals large bass response which this headset has and I love, all the way down to 20Hz. These large drivers offer extraordinary bass response paired with incredibly crisp and clear highs. They don’t sacrifice the mids and highs. These sound incredible no matter what I’m listening to. They also offer amazing spatial audio surround sound powered by Tempest 3D audio which performs really well for gaming. I love having a great pair of wired sound isolation headphones that I can just crank up the volume on when I feel like drowning out any background noise. The attached flip-to-mute mic is exactly how I like it and ideal for fast-paced gaming when I do, or don’t, want to be heard. It does a great job of recognizing voice and not the other background noise, so only what I say is heard. Value The value is definitely there, especially with this headset being officially licensed for PlayStation consoles. Fantastic sound quality at a reasonable price can’t beat.

I spent the past week testing the RIG R5 Spear Pro HS Wired Headset, and I ran it through my usual rotation of games: Call of Duty, Destiny 2, Fortnite, and GTA V. Right away, the sound quality was the standout. For a wired headset in this price range, the clarity is surprisingly good. In Call of Duty, positional audio was sharp enough that I could consistently track footsteps and reload cues without cranking the volume. Destiny 2 had that layered sound I look for — abilities, ambient noise, and gunfire all stayed distinct. Fortnite’s fast-paced audio mix felt clean, and GTA V’s engine noise and city ambience sounded full without distortion. The overall tuning leans balanced rather than bass-heavy. There’s enough low-end punch for explosions, but the mids and highs stay clean, which makes long sessions less fatiguing. Dialogue also comes through with good detail, so story-driven moments in GTA and Destiny didn’t get lost behind everything else. Comfort, though, is where things get complicated. The clamping force is on the tighter side. At first, it gives the headset a secure, locked-in feel that actually helps with isolation. But after about an hour of use, I started feeling the pressure build, especially around the ears. The ear cushions are soft, but they aren’t very breathable — my ears were noticeably warm pretty quickly. For shorter gaming bursts, it’s totally fine, but during longer sessions I found myself taking breaks just to cool off. Build quality is solid for the price. The frame is lightweight but doesn’t feel cheap, and the flip-to-mute mic works reliably. The wired 3.5mm connection keeps latency non-existent, which is great for shooters. Mic quality is serviceable for party chat — not studio-clean, but clear enough for callouts in competitive matches. After running it through all four games, I’d say the R5 Spear Pro HS hits the mark on sound and value, especially for players who want strong clarity without spending premium money. Just be ready for a snug fit and some heat buildup if you tend to game for hours at a time. If comfort were slightly better, this would be an easy all-day recommendation. As it stands, it’s a solid headset with great audio performance, best suited for medium-length sessions rather than marathons.

So I received my new RIG R5 Spear Pro Wired Headset for my PS5 about a week ago and have been putting it through its paces. First off this is my first time trying a RIG headset, so I’m hoping it lives up to the hype. Unboxing: * RIG R5 Spear Pro Wired Headset w/Non Detachable Mic/Mute Arm * Mod Plate Set * User Documentation Now I must say as I unboxed the headset, I was thoroughly impressed with its build quality. Feels solid and sturdy and not cheap. The top part of the headset as with many other headsets is extendable to fit those of us with larger domes. The earcuffs I feel could have been a tad bit larger to accomdatoe for those of use with larger ears, however, its not a dealbreaker. The cuffs did feel somewhat comfortable on my ears during gameplay, however, a tad bit larger and they probably would have been even more comfortable. On what I assume is the left earcuff is the attached mic/mute arm. When it’s down, you can speak to others while playing games and raise it up to mute. I said I assume it was the left earcuff, due to not necessarily seeing any markings to differentiate between the left and right earcuffs. They’re both the same, with the exception of one having a mic attached (which is not removable). Once I plugged the headset into my PS5 controller it automatically started working. While it wasn’t the loudest headset I’ve ever used the volume was nice and clear. I could hear things off in the distance that I would normally probably not hear. You could hear footsteps creeping up behind you. Something I noticed about the headset is that the ear-cushions actually come off, which is pretty cool, I guess if you want to like clean them with a soft damp cloth. Also included in the package are Mod Plates that go on the outer sides of the earcuffs. From what I can tell they don’t provide any other purpose than to maybe cover up the RIG branding which is on the sides of the earcuffs and replaces them with the usual PlayStation “PS” logo. All in all I think this is a decent set of wired headphones for anyone on the market looking for a decent set.

I wasn’t expecting a lot from these cans because this particular model is entry level but I still expect a certain degree of wearability even from entry-level headphones. I have worn these for three hours and they don’t give my ears any problems at all. In fact, I think I can wear them for longer and that surprises me. The microphone is easily good enough to be heard by your team and isn’t that the point? I constantly did check in to see how I was coming through and everyone agreed that it was time for me to shut up about my microphone and that it was working. I’m amazed in this day and age how much you can get out of a starter headset and while I wouldn’t want to listen to music on these, for their intended purpose, which is wired plugged-in gaming on the PlayStation 5 specifically, they are more than adequate. Even the build quality shines for a pair of entry-level headphones as I can see these lasting easily as long as the PlayStation 5 lasts. If you’re looking for a great starter headphone set to join in the conversation, these will work great.
