Movies and Gaming Headphones

No idea what to look for. I have a C1 and a PS5 and I'd like to get some wireless headphones for both, preferably ones that support Atmos. I don't really game online so a mic isn't essential. Be good if I could use them with my phone too. Any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated!

Budget?

£150 to £250. Is that feasible?

I reckon so.

How are you looking to connect to the TV? Or would you connect to the PS5 and play films/use Atmos through that?

I'd like to be able to connect directly to either the TV or my soundbar (yamaha ysp 7200) with some kind of dongle or a Bluetooth connection if possible. I've never owned a pair of headphones for tv purposes before so not entirely sure what I should be looking for.

Thanks, sounds like it would be easier, especially as the ARC port is used for the soundbar.

If you’re doing it via the PS5, something like the Steelseries Arctis Nova 7p/Pro or the Astro A50.

I know that the Nova Pro will do simultaneous connection with PS5 and mobile, but not sure on the others

Thanks. The Nova Pro looks good. I think I might lower the budget though to £150 max, but think I can get some Arctis 7p+ for that price.

With a avr also

Maybe he wants headphones not to disturb neighbours or kids etc

Kids, my hearing isn't particularly good so I want to be able to enjoy big sound without annoying them after they've gone to bed.
