new Trust Forta Wireless arrives in the official PlayStation 5 accessories catalog as the wireless version of a range that had already carved out a niche among console gamers. They maintain the original idea of offering a headset focused on immersive sound and comfort, but add the element that many users were missing: a completely wireless connection designed for the living room.
The Dutch brand is betting here on a proposal that It seeks to balance performance, price, and compatibility with the PlayStation ecosystem.It does not intend to compete with the most expensive models on the marketbut it does position itself as an officially licensed alternative, ready to work on PS5 and PS5 Pro (and also on PS4 and PC) without the need for complex configurations or additional accessories.
2,4 GHz wireless connection and officially licensed for PS5
One of the key points of the product is its wireless connection via 2,4 GHz radio frequency using a small USB receiverSimply connect the dongle to the PS5 for the system to recognize Forta Wireless as an official device, allowing you to easily adjust Tempest 3D audio from the console's menus and avoiding lengthy or unintuitive pairing processes.
This link is over 2,4 GHz It minimizes latency and eliminates the dropouts common in some inexpensive Bluetooth systems.In practice, the experience described in the first tests in Spain is one of stable sound, without noticeable interruptions and with such low latency that it does not interfere with competitive games or fast-paced scenes where any mismatch between image and audio is immediately noticeable.
In addition, the use of a dedicated receiver It allows you to move several meters away from the console without losing signal.This is particularly relevant in large living rooms or when the PS5 is in a closed cabinet. This approach suits the user profile of someone who wants to play from the sofa, get up to grab something between games, or move around the room without worrying about the cable.
The fact that they have Official PlayStation license This also means that they meet the compatibility requirements set by Sony, which for many buyers in Europe is an extra guarantee compared to other uncertified headphones that sometimes have problems with recognition or multi-channel sound configuration.
3D audio with 50mm drivers for immersive gaming
In terms of sound, Trust maintains the philosophy of the Forta range: 50mm speakers designed to take advantage of PS5's 3D audioThis feature, common in mid-range gaming headsets, allows for smooth movement of bass, mids, and treble without straining the system, aiming for a wide soundstage and good frequency separation for demanding games.
The Forta Wireless are compatible with the system Tempest 3D Audio from the Sony consoleThis allows for clear perception of positions and distances within the virtual environment. In games with open environments or a lot of sound, this spatial awareness helps identify footsteps, gunshots, whispers, or ambient effects that would be more easily missed with basic stereo sound.
The various published tests indicate that the sound profile It prioritizes a powerful volume and a sense of impact without distorting.This is a welcome feature when playing competitive shooters, action-adventure games, or games with heavy soundtracks. Compared to other official models like Sony's Pulse, it takes a more direct and less restrained approach, aiming to make every explosion and effect feel powerful.
In multiplayer games with proximity chat or online matches with high sound density, the ability to accurately locate the source of each noise It makes all the difference, both in terms of reacting quickly and fully immersing yourself in the game's atmosphere. That's Trust's main strategy, relying on 50mm drivers and integration with PS5 technologies.
Outside of a strictly competitive environment, the same approach helps those who They seek to isolate themselves a little from the noise of home while they play.Enjoying single-player campaigns, exploring open worlds, or watching multimedia content from the console without having to use the TV's speaker.
Designed for long sessions and daily use
One point on which virtually all available information agrees is comfort. The Trust Forta Wireless headphones feature rotating earcups, adjustable headband, and thick, very soft circumaural ear cushionsconfiguring a set that has been clearly designed to extended sessions for several hours at a time.
The headphones can be rotated to better fit the shape of the head and so that, when placed on the table or hung from the monitor, not too bulky or inconvenient to storeThe headband, meanwhile, allows for height adjustment with sufficient range for different sizes, which is important in homes where peripherals are shared among several family members.
The thick ear pads completely envelop the ear with soft foam, which It helps reduce pressure during long sessions and improves passive isolation.It's not an active noise cancellation system, but the circumaural design itself attenuates some of the ambient sound, something that is noticeable in rooms with televisions on, nearby conversations, or other common noises.
From the perspective of those who have tried them in Spain, No significant discomfort or exaggerated pressure points were detected after several hours of use.It will always depend on the shape of the head and personal preferences, but the goal of prioritizing ergonomics is reasonably well met for the price range in which they operate.
Furthermore, the overall structure avoids superfluous elements such as LED lighting or decorations that tend to drain the batteryTrust opts for a sober aesthetic, very close to the visual language of the PS5 itself, with clean lines and flat colors that fit well on both desks and living room furniture.
Removable cardioid microphone and integrated controls
In the field of communication, Forta Wireless integrates a Detachable cardioid microphone, designed to focus on the player's voice.This polar pattern helps to reduce some of the noise coming from the sides and rear, provided the microphone is positioned at the correct distance from the mouth.
The tests performed indicate that voice capture is Clear and sufficient for online games, voice groups, or informal chatsWhile it doesn't aspire to the quality of a microphone specifically designed for streaming or professional recording, for typical console use—coordinating with the team, commentating on gameplay, or socializing during matches—the level of clarity is within expectations for this segment.
The fact that the microphone is removable allows Remove it completely when playing alone or using the headset only to watch movies or listen to musicThus, the whole thing is somewhat lighter and you avoid having the microphone arm in front of your face if it's not needed.
One of the earphones contains the Main physical controls: volume wheel and microphone mute buttonThis layout makes it easy to make quick adjustments without having to go into the console menus or pause the game, which is greatly appreciated in competitive games or intense sessions.
The buttons and wheels offer a clearly perceptible range of motion, so that It is difficult to accidentally activate or deactivate functions when repositioning the helmet.This straightforward control approach, without complicated combinations, is a good fit for users looking for something direct: raise the volume, lower it, mute it, and keep playing.
Long-lasting battery and USB-C charging
Autonomy is another area where Trust has sought to differentiate this model. According to data provided by the company, The integrated battery can last up to 55 hours on a single chargea figure above many wireless headphones in the same price range available in the European market.
In practice, some independent analyses suggest that the actual figures They range around 30 to 35 hours of effective useThis always depends on the volume used, the type of content, and whether or not the microphone is used frequently. Even with this more conservative margin, it's still a convenient value for those who don't want to be constantly worrying about the charger.
When it's time to recharge, the package includes a USB-C to USB-C cable approximately one meter longThis cable allows you to continue using the headphones while they are charging, which is useful during marathon sessions or when the battery runs out in the middle of an important game.
The use of USB-C, already widespread in Europe, also makes it easier share chargers and cables with other devices such as controllers, mobile phones or tabletsThere's no need to look for a proprietary adapter or a specific connector, which greatly simplifies managing accessories at home.
This focus on long battery life and flexible charging positions Forta Wireless as An interesting option for players who dedicate several hours a week to PS5But also for those who alternate between console, PC and other devices without wanting to constantly worry about the battery level of the headphones.
Design, available colors and price in Spain
In terms of aesthetics, Trust has opted for a design directly inspired by Sony's console. The Forta Wireless are sold in Three variants: Midnight Black, White, and an exclusive Amazon Black & White editiondesigned to match the two-tone finish of the PS5 and PS5 Pro.
The white model maintains the classic image associated with the standard PlayStation 5 consoleThe Midnight Black version is a better fit for darker living room setups or desks where black devices are preferred. The Amazon Black & White edition blends both worlds and reinforces the overall look with the machine's original design.
All the finishes share the same understated structure, without no aggressive elements or RGB lightingIt's a somewhat more discreet approach than other flashy gaming headsets, probably designed for an audience that plays both in the living room and in a work or study environment and prefers a more neutral look.
On the commercial front, Trust Forta Wireless has been launched in Europe with a recommended price of 79,99 eurosThis positioning places them in a mid-range, below some official Sony models, but above very basic unlicensed options with more limited specifications.
Taking into account the combination of PlayStation license, 2,4 GHz wireless connection, 50 mm drivers and remarkable battery lifeTheir proposal aims to convince users who want to make the leap to wireless on PS5 without breaking the bank, but also those who alternate between console, PC and other devices without wanting to constantly worry about the battery level of the headset.
With all of the above, the Trust Forta Wireless are positioned as A reasonable alternative for those who regularly play on PS5 and appreciate a balance between audio quality, extended comfort, and wireless freedomoffering a solid experience within its price range and backed by official PlayStation certification.
