PDP Airlite Pro Wireless Gaming Headset Review
A few weeks ago, I stumbled across the PDP Airlite Pro Wireless gaming headset in my local Best Buy, having never heard of it before. Turns out, it’s a rebranding of PDP’s “LVL 50” headset that’s been on the market for a few years, and it’s available in both Xbox Wireless and Playstation/PC versions.
The latter version offers wider compatibility and also works with a Nintendo Switch in docked mode. You’ll need to pick the right version for your chosen console thanks to the magic of Microsoft’s audio licensing garbage.
Both versions come in different console-appropriate colorways, but the core headset functions are the same. I bought the PS5 version out of my own pocket and tested it out over the last several weeks. This is normally where I would post a link to their official product listing…but in the time since I purchased this, its official pages on PDP’s site and Best Buy’s site have both disappeared. Here’s a link to the Xbox version on PDP’s site. Hopefully the PS5 listings come back soon!
The headset is listed for $79.99 on PDP’s site in the standard colorway, but Best Buy charged me $84.99, which is still a decent price considering the functions here. The battery is rated for 16 hours and charges over USB-C…
