Whenever I'm after the best sound possible for my latest PS5 game obsession, I'm picking up a wireless headset. Right now, I'm obsessed with Lego Batman, and I've been cruising over the Gotham building tops with the best PS5 headset, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni, pressed up on my head like the Dark Knight's cowl and loving it.
Yet even with the pair's hot-swappable battery tech in my utility belt, there have been a few occasions where I've just been too lazy to ensure the pair is all juiced up - enter, the Atlas 200 for PS5.
This headset is wired, so it takes the pressure off remembering to charge it. The best part? It sounds better than other wired headsets I've popped into my DualSense, so I haven't missed any of the Lego game's hilarious quips of that iconic Batman score.
During the many, many hours that I've been playing Lego Batman, I've had the Atlas 200 at arm's length. It sits in a hamper next to the sofa, originally intended for blankets, which has instead been relegated to storing all the best PS5 accessories I want to have easy access to at all times.
I'm glad I decided to add the Atlas 200 to the accessory pile, as it's made my lazy Lego Batman and gaming days a treat. The headset takes seconds to hook up, and afterwards, I can stay on the sofa for hours without having to ever get up for a charging cable because it doesn't need one. It relies purely on its 3.5mm cord, and that's that. At just 280g, it's also super lightweight and doesn't get grating on my head after I've noticed I've been running around collecting Lego studs for 5+ hours.
Most importantly, it sounds pretty darn impressive despite being a budget-friendly wired headset, so I can be lazy without having to forgo any sound quality. Batman games, even in their Lego form, are known for their great music, and I've been able to fully appreciate every moment of it.
It's usually $59.99 / £49.99 when there are no deals kicking around, and that price alone feels like you're getting plenty of value for what its 50mm Nanoclear Drivers can muster. Gotham gets pretty loud in Lego's latest game, as you're constantly bombarded with police alerts and nearby citizens barking at you, but the Atlas 200 makes every bit of audio sound levelled and balanced.
Right now it's down to $44 (Amazon) / £39.99 (Amazon), which is a record low for both the US and the UK, and a deal worth grabbing if you want to be lazy and comfortable too. Of course, you could always wait a bit for the best Prime Day PS5 deals to drop on June 23, where there's likely more headset savings to come. But if you have your eyes on a no-fuss all-must PS5 pair, I doubt you'll find much better than this.
