What’s the difference between the old and new version

Change to 2.4 GHz (new) from 5.0 GHz (old) for the base station communicating with headset Base Station is smaller (new compared to old) Vertical sizing sliders are easier to adjust (new compare to old) Supports Dolby 3D audio (newer version) (does not specify it is Atmos, not sure why the differentiation perhaps due to simulation instead of actual speaker count etc.) opposed to Dolby 7.1... (older version)

Do you have to use the base station to charge it? is there an option to just pop a usb cable directly into the headset?

You can plug it in directly to headset, but truthfully the best benefit these have over other high end cans is the ease of use and not having to plug the cable in to charge them. That said, If your going to plug them in manually every day after use, there's no reason to buy these, you might want to consider something like the wireless Arctis 7, they all have great audio attributes, the Arctis 7 boom slides into the headset. I bought this Astro for their kick tail base station, its on par with my Arctic 7. They all have their pros and cons.

Will this work on the playstation 5?

You will need an adapter for it to work on the PS5. https://smile.amazon.com/ASTRO-Gaming-HDMI-Adapter-Playstation-5/dp/B08F2HKLB3/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2KKVAZLDMULJN&dchild=1&keywords=astro+a50+ps5+adapter&qid=1615199449&sprefix=astro+a50+ps5+ad%2Caps%2C325&sr=8-2
