The PS5 is a powerful console, but a few well-chosen accessories can significantly improve the experience. The two most useful upgrades for most UK PS5 owners are a DualSense charging dock — so your controllers are always charged and off the floor — and a wireless gaming headset for immersive audio without cable clutter. Sony's official accessories are excellent but carry a premium price. Third-party alternatives from brands like Venom, GXTrust, and Gvyugke cover the same functionality at a fraction of the cost. The officially PlayStation-licensed GXTrust Forta headset in particular delivers 55 hours of wireless battery life and 3D Audio support for under £70. This guide covers the best PS5 charging docks and wireless headsets available right now on Amazon UK, with picks at every price point from under £10 to £70.
Buying guide
What to look for in PS5 Accessories
1Charging dock design: Look for drop-and-charge designs that do not require fiddly cable alignment. The best docks hold controllers upright and have LED indicators to show charge status at a glance.
2USB-C input: DualSense controllers charge via USB-C. The best docks accept USB-C input from a wall adapter or PS5 console, meaning you do not need a separate adapter for the dock itself.
3Headset wireless standard: 2.4GHz wireless dongles give the lowest latency (under 25ms) for gaming. Bluetooth 5.x is more convenient for mobile use but has slightly higher latency. Most headsets on this list support both modes.
4PS5 3D Audio: PS5 supports Tempest 3D Audio, which dramatically improves spatial awareness in compatible games. Look for headsets explicitly listing PS5 3D Audio support for the best positional audio experience.
5Microphone quality: For multiplayer gaming, a noise-cancelling microphone is worth prioritising. ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) mics filter background sound more aggressively than standard mics.
Our process
How we choose our picks
We don’t lab-test products ourselves. Instead we synthesise the strongest independent evidence — current Amazon UK listings, verified-buyer feedback, published specs and UK pricing — into clear, honest recommendations. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, but that never changes which products we rank.
Current UK availability
We only shortlist products actively listed and in stock on Amazon UK, checked against live catalogue data — not last year’s models.
Publicly visible buyer feedback
We look at how each product is received by UK shoppers — its overall rating standing and the praise or complaints that recur in public reviews — rather than relying on a single reviewer’s opinion.
Published specs & value
We compare manufacturer specifications, typical UK price bands, warranty and running costs so each pick is right for a real budget and use-case.
UK-specific fit
We factor in UK voltage, plug/fitting standards, CE/UKCA marking and Consumer Rights Act cover — details that generic global lists miss.
The GXTrust Forta is the best PS5 headset on this list if you want official PlayStation licensing and 3D Audio support. The 55-hour battery is exceptional, and a detachable cardioid mic keeps the headset clean when gaming solo. The only limitation is the absence of a Bluetooth mode for phone use.

The LVFAN charging station offers a clean drop-and-charge design in black at a mid-range price.

Editor's Note
The two PS5 accessories that deliver the most value per pound are a charging dock and a wireless headset. For the dock, the Venom twin station at £12.99 is the best blend of design and practicality — the rear USB output for headset charging is a feature normally found only on more expensive docks. For headsets, the officially licensed GXTrust Forta is the right choice if PS5 3D Audio and brand confidence are priorities; the Gvyugke at £36 is a compelling alternative with 70-hour battery and triple connectivity if you also use the headset with a PC or phone.
Our Take
UK gamers have more choice than ever, but not every product justifies its price tag on Amazon UK. The GXTrust Forta Wireless Gaming Headset is our top recommendation — it consistently outperforms alternatives in real-world UK use. If that's out of budget, the Tatybo Wireless Gaming Headset for PS5 PS4 PC offers solid performance at a lower price point. The Gvyugke Wireless Gaming Headset for PS5 PS4 PC is worth considering if you want a step up in build quality or features. Avoid the cheapest unbranded options on Amazon UK — they rarely survive past six months of regular use and UK consumer protection only helps if the seller is still trading.
