The crisp, colorful and near-realistic graphics of your favorite PlayStation 4 games mean little without the right sounds and music. TV speakers and soundbars normally do the job. However, not only do they muffle up important sounds, such as enemy footsteps or gunfire, but you also need something that will help you communicate with your teammates in an online multiplayer match.

To deal with these issues, you will need PS4-compatible headsets that have a fixed or detachable microphone. Many of these are wired, since you are going to plug them into your already wireless DualShock 4 controller. For added movement, you may also want some that are also wireless. Whatever your preferences, these make sure that your next session of Call of Duty or Overwatch will never be the same again.

Here are the top 5 best PS4 headsets with microphones in 2020:
