PS5 Gaming Headset – Officially Licensed, 50mm Drivers, White | Trust GXT 498W Forta

Plug In. Level Up. Play Better.

There's a moment in every game where the audio makes everything click. The distant rumble of enemy movement. The clean crack of a perfect shot. The soundtrack swelling right as the story lands. If your headset can't deliver that — you're missing the game.

The Trust GXT 498W Forta Gaming Headset is built for PS5 players who want performance without the premium price tag. Officially licensed by PlayStation, it's not an afterthought — it's a purpose-built audio tool designed alongside your console, not just for it.

Sound That Pulls You Into the World

At the heart of the Forta is a pair of 50mm neodymium drivers — larger than what most budget headsets offer. Neodymium magnets are lighter and more magnetically powerful, which means every driver works harder to reproduce bass depth, vocal clarity, and high-frequency detail simultaneously.

The result? A soundstage that places you inside the game. Fire a rifle and feel the reverb. Walk through a forest and hear individual leaves. When you activate PS5's native 3D audio, the Forta translates that spatial data into a full 360° listening experience — directional sound that gives you a genuine competitive edge.

Technical specs that back it up: 20–20,000 Hz frequency response, 100 dB SPL, 32 Ohm impedance — the kind of numbers you'd normally see on headsets twice the price.

Comfort You'll Forget You're Wearing

Long sessions demand more than good audio. They demand a headset that disappears on your head. The Forta's faux-leather over-ear cushions create a gentle seal around your ears — blocking ambient noise while cushioning every pressure point. The adjustable padded headband distributes weight evenly, and the pivoting earcups rotate to find your exact fit.

At just 269g, the Forta won't drag you down during extended play. Lightweight, balanced, and built for hours — not minutes.

Your Voice, Your Rules

The flexible omnidirectional microphone captures your voice across a 100–17,000 Hz range — enough to communicate clearly without background noise dominating your signal. Position it exactly where you need it, and it stays there.

Not in the mood to chat? Detach the mic completely in one smooth motion and the Forta becomes a clean, microphone-free headset. The on-ear mute button gives you an instant kill switch mid-call, and the rotary volume wheel sits right where your finger lands naturally.

Plug In — That's Literally It

No software. No Bluetooth pairing screens. No firmware updates. The Forta connects via a 3.5mm audio jack — plug it into your PS5 controller, PS4, or PC and you're playing within seconds. The 1.2m cable gives you comfortable reach from your sofa without excess slack tangling at your feet.

Gaming That Doesn't Cost the Earth

The GXT 498W Forta is constructed from up to 85% recycled plastics — one of the highest recycled-material ratios of any gaming headset in its class. Trust holds the SCS Product Category Rule (PCR) sustainability certification, and the headset carries the official CleverGreen badge. The packaging is minimal and recyclable. You're getting premium audio and contributing to less electronic waste in landfills.

It's a small choice with a real impact.

Is This Headset Right for You?

The GXT 498W Forta is ideal if you:

• Own a PS5 or PS4 and want an officially certified audio upgrade
