literally spent all night looking at reviews and im so stressed about picking the wrong one. I keep seeing the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ being recommended but then some forums say the mic is super quiet and muffled which wont work for my rank grind in Apex. Then theres the BlackShark V2 Pro but idk if all the features even work on a PS4 Pro since most people use it for PC and i dont wanna waste my money.
basically need:
is there anything better or should i just risk it with the SteelSeries...
Unfortunately, finding a reliable wireless setup for the PS4 Pro is a bit of a headache. I have been disappointed by how many premium headsets perform poorly once you move them away from a PC environment. Like someone mentioned, the mic gain issue is a significant problem that can compromise your team coordination during a grind. To ensure you do not waste your money, I suggest focusing on these two technical points:
To add to the point above: be careful with software-dependent features on PS4.
In my experience, you are right to be cautious about software-dependent gear. Over the years, I have seen too many console players buy headsets only to find the mic quality is tethered to a PC app. If you cant adjust the gain on the console, you are stuck with a muffled mic. For competitive play, that is a significant risk. You really need hardware that performs natively on the PS4 Pro.
