Trust GXT 499 Forta Wireless Gaming Headset PS4/PS5 - Black

The Trust GXT 499 Forta Wireless Gaming Headset PS4/PS5 is a good headset with pleasant in-game sound. This headset does not have noise cancelling, so you do hear more ambient noise. Due to the headset's low weight, it sits comfortably on my head.

First impression When I open the box of the Trust GXT 499 Forta, I see that the headset is neatly packaged. There is a paper with the Trust logo covering the headset, and the other items are neatly placed in a small box. The headset is in a small box. Inside the box, I find the headset, the detachable microphone, pop filter, USB-A dongle, and 2 cables. The headset feels light and has soft cushions.

Easy connection I easily connect the headset to my PlayStation 5 using the USB-A dongle. This way, I am not bothered by cables while gaming. I also easily click the microphone onto the headset. I bend the microphone to the position I find comfortable.

Comfortable to wear and long battery life The headset fits well on my head. The cushions are soft and fit well around my ears. I have a small head myself, but even on the smallest setting, the headset stays securely on my head. I also wear glasses, but this doesn't bother me when I'm wearing the headset. The headset is also very lightweight, allowing me to wear it for a long time without getting uncomfortable. Additionally, the battery life of this headset is 55 hours. This allows me to play for hours without charging. Charging the headset takes about 45 minutes.

Good audio and noise-canceling microphone The sound of the headset is good. Because it is surround sound, I can hear the in-game sounds clearly around me. I do notice clearly that this headset does not have noise cancelling. Because I can hear background noise, I do miss the noise cancelling. Thanks to the noise-canceling microphone, I am clearly audible. I can also easily remove it when I don't need it.

This headset is suitable for the beginner gamer. Due to the low weight and soft cushions, the headset sits comfortably during long gaming sessions. Thanks to the 55-hour battery life, you can keep playing for a long time. Additionally, the surround sound and 360-degree game audio ensure you always hear your opponents coming. However, because this headset does not have noise cancellation, you will hear ambient noise.

The Trust GXT 499W Forta is an excellent wireless gaming headset for PS5 users looking for great value for money. The headset is officially licensed for PlayStation 5 and connects easily to the console via a 2.4 GHz USB receiver. The sound is clear and powerful thanks to the 50 mm drivers, allowing footsteps, dialogue, and explosions to come across well.

Wearing comfort is also a major plus. The soft ear cushions and adjustable headband ensure you can game comfortably for hours. The detachable microphone delivers clear voice quality during online games, and the controls on the earcup are pleasant to use.

Furthermore, the battery lasts a long time, meaning you don't have to recharge constantly. Only if you are looking for absolute top-class audio or active noise cancellation are there more expensive alternatives that perform better.

The price-quality ratio is great, the sound is simply good; speech, FX, and music are balanced with a nice spatial effect. Better than expected for the price of this product!
