Sound is half the immersion in a GTA: roaring engines, rain on asphalt, Vice City radio. Here are the best headsets to experience GTA 6 to the fullest on PS5.
Our two recommendations
PULSE Elite (Sony) — built for PS5: native integration, 3D audio, convenient charging. The no-fuss choice for maximum immersion.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P — a benchmark for comfort and mic quality, with excellent battery life. Perfect for launch-day marathons.

What to look for
- 3D / spatial audio → sound localization, greater immersion.
- Comfort → padding and weight, crucial for long sessions.
- Mic → useful if you plan to play online eventually (see GTA 6 Online at launch?).
- Battery life → aim for 20h+ so you don't recharge mid-mission.
Wireless or wired?
Wireless is ideal on PS5: freedom of movement, comfort, no cables. Wired is reliable and often cheaper, but less convenient over time.
Complete the immersion combo
A good headset, paired with the DualSense's haptics, transforms the experience:
