GXTrust Forta Wireless Gaming Headset review: Good budget-priced PS5 earphones

GXTrust has officially licensed the Playstation 5 logo for these cans and have promised a premium performance for a cost-effective price

Playstation players seeking a budget-friendly headset for their games may want to give this neat looking earphones a look.

GXTrust has officially licensed the Playstation 5 logo for these cans and have promised a premium performance for a price that won’t break your wallet.

And for the money what you do get here is great value.

We’re talking a low-latency 2.4GHz wireless connection via a plug-in dongle that’s compatible across PS5, PS4 and PC.

The battery can last up to 55 hours in a single charge, which is absolutely loads for this price bracket.

And they both look and feel the part, comfy on the ears while having a classic-modern functional design that is in keeping with the wider PS5 console look.

The result is impressive.

The main ear cups are soft and well padded and feature 50mm drivers and 3D Audio on PS5, making the most of first-party exclusives like Horizon with their all-round sound design.

It feels like you can hear things behind you in games and the boom of explosions and things like gunfire in games whip-crack adequately across the soundscape.

Footsteps and whispers are discernible and that helps to up the immersion in titles.

It’s plug-and-pay out of the box and you can even wire up the headset if you want with DualSense controllers via 3.5mm cable.

Controls are on-ear, so you can adjust volume and microphone mute to give you instant access without ever breaking your flow.

The mic itself is clear and detachable.

They’re available in both black and white looks and are made of 35% recycled plastics for a more sustainable design.

Overall, a neat and good looking pair of cans that do what they say on the tin.

The sound is not premium but they don’t pretend to be.

This is a strong budget-priced headset that ticks all the boxes for the cost.

VERDICT 3.5/5
