Gold Wireless Stereo Headset - PlayStation 4

**UPDATE 12-21-15** Today these headphones finally broke. The left earcuff broke about a month ago, today it broke completely off. These were my favorite headphones :( I never used the folding option, never had dropped them either. Based on their lifespan I will buy another pair. **ORIGINAL REVIEW** So far I have used these with: The Last Of Us Remastered, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, and some GTA V. What I can say first is: I charged them when I got them: Last Wednesday, September 11, 2014. I've yet to recharge them (As of September 25, 2014). The initial 2 hr charge is still holding However, i've only used them for a few hours. But it's good to know they last this long even on standby mode with an hour here and there of use, Comfort: They are a bit snug, but not overly so. Taking a moment to re-adjust the headset makes them comfortable. They work flawlessly with the ps3 and ps4 via the wireless adapter, movies, music and games all work with them. Now: Audio quality: It should be noted that for the last 20 or so years I've had a "true" surround sound system with 5 actual speakers in my room, until 6.1, and 7.1 surround sound came out, now I've got 7 physical speakers in my room all booming sound. I'm used to TRUE surround sound, not artificial "simulated" surround from two speakers trying to give off the illusion of actual, physical speakers... on this level I think the "Stereo 7.1 (simulated) surround sound" part of the headset fails. To me the surround sound sounds like stereo, left and right. However, the quality is not bad. Bass is fairly decent (especially after using the console's app to customize base, treble and other levels). Sound is crisp and is loud on high notes and comfortable on low notes. From booms to whispers: it's quite well heard. This is something my expensive (well, ok, only about $700.00, but still expensive for me, lol) true surround sound system can't do. It's great for day time and etc. but it's dynamic level isn't friendly for night-time listening where you want to hear whispers as loud as the booms: this is why I got the headset. I've also tried them with my Tablet, it works fantastically. While I can't use the wireless feature, I used it's very nice adapter to plug into my Tablet like a normal headset. As I'm typing this, I'm using it WIRELESSLY on my computer (windows 7). I simply plugged in the sony wireless dongle and Windows installed it perfectly! No cords, wireless 7.1 simulated output! On top of that: The built-in wireless mic also works for my pc! Which will move me onto the last section: Microphone: The built-in mic works great, it seems to pick up my voice even at a whisper, so far it sounds great, you can also adjust how loud you hear the game, and how loud people's voice come in. You can have voice very low, and the game up loud, or vice-versa as well as a balance between the two. I'd say it was worth the $91.90 bucks (that is after tax, free shipping). The huge bonus to me as a PC gamer in addition to console gaming is they worked flawlessly out of the box as a wireless mic and headset for pc! Even my capture cards picked up my "usb recording device" and "USB audio device" for youtube vids, and streaming. Over-all rating: Well worth the price! Last note: Have to keep using them to see when they will die out completely and be need to be charged up again. lol.

Update: 8/18/2014 FOR PC USERS!!!!!!! If you want more sound customizability while using this wirelessly on your PC, I have found a way. RAZER SURROUND!!!! Download the free application from Razer.com and the application not only allows you to customize EQ settings on the fly with the headset, but also gives you virtual surround as well!!!!!! Now you can enjoy the full benefits that you get on consoles, even more in my opinion since Razer surround has more EQ sliders to play with. The only catch is that you have to sign up with Razer so Synapse, their cloud program where the settings are stored, can store our settings and you can use the same settings on other PCs. Update: 3/3/2014 - I tested the mic by doing a recording and playing online on PC. The quality is very good. There is no background noise that I could hear in the recording and my friend reported hearing none while playing online. Keep in mind this is not a studio mic or super high quality mic, but for the job it is intended to do, it does it well. I also figure out that you CAN CUSTOMIZE THE EQ SETTINGS FOR PC, but it HAS TO BE DONE THROUGH THE PS3/PS4 COMPANION APP! You need to physically connect the headset to your PS3/PS4 and upload the sound profiles you want or the custom EQ settings. It will be saved to the "2" switch on the headset. These just keep getting better and better!!!! First of all, I was looking for an all around great experience on my PS3 AND my PC. From the research that I did on this headset and the various reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere I gathered that this headset was in high quality and sounded great on the PS3 and PS4, especially because they have the virtual 7.1 surround sound for the consoles. Also, from what I've gathered, is that on PC, it sounds great but not as great as it can. Well, I did some testing and here are my findings. I compared this headset to the SteelSeries Spectrum 5XB Headset that I also own. Now the steel series had pretty good sound but lacked a little thump to the base, but overall sound quality was top notch with its 40mm drivers. I use an Asus Xonar DG sound card to customize the equalizer settings so I can get the very best sound I possibly can with those headphones. Now for the Sony Golds: Using the provided USB wireless dongle, I plugged it in to PC and setup was very easy, just plug and play. Keep in mind that Sony did not write any proprietary drivers for the wireless dongle so Windows will install the GENERIC MICROSOFT DRIVERS for the wireless USB dongle to function with the headset, hence customizability to the sound with an equalizer is impossible unless you program your own drivers or you can find generic custom drivers on the net. That aside, the sound quality relayed from the dongle is quite good! I played games and listened to music with them and they are very comparable to the steel series headset. I set the switch to the 2 setting, that setting generally gives you more bass and richer sound, granted though that the sound is not all that it could be given that it is running on generic software drivers......luckily, this headset has a built in 3.5mm built in to it. Using the provided 3.5mm cable that is provided I connected the headset to my front panel jack which is connected to my sound card. I adjusted the equalizer settings in order to get the cleanest bass, good distortion-less thumps, and clear highs.........WOW!!!!! This headset truly shines when you have the ability to customize the equalizer settings! The sound quality is higher than the steelseries. The sound is fuller, richer, highs come through great and lows have good weight to them. Music is AMAZING on them!!!! As for gaming while connected to the 3.5mm jack....it sounds amazing as well. I played battlefield 4 and these babies bring you every sound crystal clear. The sound even better when I set the card to 7.1 virtual surround sound, set the game to wartapes and set the sound to surround in-game. As for the PS3 performance......simply fantastic! everything sounds great, rich and clear, the 7.1 emulation is very good as well. I've played for at least 3 hours and they are very comfortable for me. All in all. BUY THESE!!!! You won't get better for the money!

These provide great sound quality and I think for ease of use they are the best low cost headset for the PS4. However, mine snapped after about two months. There isn't a metal frame inside the plastic band. It's just a hollow plastic shell. The sound quality is probably the best I've experienced from a headset so I used them for more than just video games. However, I never threw them around or did anything you would consider excessive use. At the end of the day I would place them on top of my PS4 and since I wasn't putting them in a sleeve or anything I didn't have to fold them up. But then one day they felt loose so I took them off and the plastic had just snapped. It was really disappointing because I loved this headset. They fit comfortably around my ears and I could use them while wearing my glasses. I could wear them for hours because they don't press your ears into your head and cause soreness. Increasing or decreasing the height of the speakers was easy and they fit extremely well and were much more comfortable than my Beats which give me migraines. Also, for the price they cut out external sound super well. It comes with a USB you have to use in order to use them with your PS4. The only downside of this is that it takes up a slot on your console but it's no big deal. The software provided was easy to use and I appreciated the inclusion of customizing audio mixes by game. If you're concerned that you'll always have to switch settings you don't have to worry. I kept them on the same setting unless I was playing a specific game where I wanted tweaks to hear party chat better. It has a button that allows you to easily switch between two custom sound settings. So if you are playing alone but a friend joins your game it's easy to adjust the audio quickly. Additionally, you can switch between mono and artificial surround sound (which sounds amazing and is incredibly immersive). Also, the volume controls are simple and convenient to use. You can adjust party audio settings to make the game louder or more quiet than the party chat but you can also change the party chat volume independently of the game's audio. It provided an ease of use that was admittedly why I used them so much. If audio was an okay volume but the game was louder than a friend's voice you could simply change the balance without having to stop the game or even look away from the screen.The mic quality was great and it was easy to mute and unmute myself and tell when I was muted. It didn't pick up background noise and people talking in my house didn't get picked up on the mic. Battery updates would appear on screen just like they do with a controller so they never died on me. When Sony updated the party audio quality in a firmware patch it sounded like my friend (who also had a pair and horrible internet) and I were in the same room. For what it's worth, my friend has had the same pair since I bought mine and his are completely fine. By all means this would be a 5 star review if they hadn't absolutely become unusable. After the first time they snapped, I figured Sony wouldn't replace them since the speakers didn't simply die and there was actual physical damage. I taped and rebound the break with gaffing tape and epoxy which I wouldn't have done if I didn't like them. The tape helped set and remove pressure from the frame and the epoxy bound everything back together easily. They had normal wear and tear at this point but none of it affected the usability of the headphones. The covering on the actual speakers was coming off but that's something that seems to happen eventually with any pair of headphones and it didn't make them less comfortable or sound worse. After being repaired with the epoxy they snapped again months later and this time it was both vertical and horizontal around the plastic. The headphones wouldn't stay in place on my head anymore. The metal hinges that fold them became useless because their tiny metal bolt is held by plastic and that plastic broke too. The phones started to fold outwards since there was nothing to provide tension. At this point they wouldn't stay on my head at all. I once again, repaired them and fixed the hinges but after about two weeks one speaker casing came completely off and the headset essentially broke in half. The right speaker casing is hanging on by a wire and the plastic band is beyond repair. There's no way for them to be saved now. All in all, they're amazing and the artificial surround sound is great and the only reason I would consider buying these again instead of a more expensive pair. Last time I checked these were the cheapest wireless headphones with surround sound, albeit virtual, for the PS4. It helps that my friend's didn't break either. But be wary that you might have to do some DIY repairs at some point depending on how determined you are to keep them. Without a doubt they would be 5/5 without the structural issues. The speakers never popped, cut out or rang. The audio was consistently great. I never played a game while wearing these where I thought "Eh I don't really need to have my headphones on." They really put you in the game world. Whether it's weather effects, engines, explosions or music they always felt necessary in order to have the immersion go a step above. They didn't give me migraines from audio intensity or how they fit my head. So I would recommend these but I would only recommend them with caution.

I've been using these for a couple of months now. I use them on the PS4 and also on my PC for music. My most recent headphones are the monster turbine in-ear headphones. So keep that in mind, I'm not someone who is use to the junk headphones that come with your i-Pod/i-Phone. I got these because I don't like the headphone cord sticking out of the jack on the bottom of the controller. I think the sound quality of this headset is great, I definitely don't have a single complaint about it. The quick review is that I really like these headphones, I highly recommended them. You get high quality sound, good bass, wireless connection via USB, they are easy to use and for $100, these are absolutely sweet. I think it'd be hard to beat at that price. I use them whenever I can. I mainly purchased these because they are wireless and my girlfriend doesn't like to be woken up by late night gaming ;) I'll hit some topics in greater detail below. I enjoy the headphones enough to at least address the complaints I've read before and after purchasing them. I've read people complaining about there not being enough bass with these. There's nothing wrong with the bass in my opinion. I was actually surprised at the amount of bass after I had read the complaints about it before ordering. These days I listen to mostly EDM, dub-step, techno, anything electronic really. I'm very happy with the sound. Now it should also be said that it's not crazy brain shaking, overpowering bass but it's enough. Definitely enough for gaming. I think I'm most impressed with the fact that I have yet to hear that static/crackling/distortion that sometimes follows bass sounds in poor quality headphones. These always sound clear, even at high volumes. Now people may be experiencing problems with bass in games, not music. It never bothered me but I did find out pretty recently that I was using the PS4 app incorrectly. There are EQs that you can set to increase bass sounds and what not. You have to plug the headphones into the USB and upload the profile for it to work. I didn't know that before and was just selecting what I wanted without plugging it in. I'm not sure if I missed that somewhere or if it just wasn't in the instructions. After reading reviews, I'm obviously not the only one who has done this. Now that I've used the app correctly, there is a difference between the EQs when used. It was good before in my opinion but in-game bass improved after the app was correctly used. The music was good without it and I'm actually not sure if the app even applies when using them with other devices besides the PS4. Also you can only select one EQ at a time. Oh well, not a big deal to me. **Edit** The EQ profile that you download from the PS app does continue to work when using the headphones with other devices. In other words, the EQ setting is saved directly on the headphones and works in all situations. **** There isn't any sound leakage that can be heard by others that is worth complaining about. I asked my girlfriend about it and she can hear the occasional explosion while sitting next to me but nothing major. I expect some leakage with these types of headphones. I definitely can't hear sounds outside of what is playing in the headset, I'm certain on that. Don't plan on having a conversation with others in the room while gaming with these on. Low volume is another complaint that I can remember reading. I don't think these people have normal hearing. I think the headset gets loud enough for sure. In fact, I often do not have them turned up all the way, explosions are uncomfortable to me at high volumes. I like to play games and music pretty loud, so don't get me wrong. I just have a limit on how loud. I recommend you don't worry about this, these absolutely get loud enough. I can't comment on the mic. It works, I can hear others clearly, easy to turn on/off and that's all I can say about it. To be honest, I never chat in games. I've found that 90% of the people talking are either annoying or racist and they end up muted lol **EDIT** I used these headphones with Google+ video chat for 3 months and the mic worked great. Never had a problem with it. You can also adjust the game volume versus the chat volume via buttons on the headset. **** The surround sound is cool but don't expect to be able to hear EXACTLY where other players are. This is coming from playing COD and Killzone. I read someone saying he could tell exactly where people were from all angles, high and low, with pinpoint accuracy. He wrote as if he could turn around and shoot the guy pretty much based on sound. This wasn't true for me. I can tell people are close, I can hear them walking from all sides and have a generally good idea of my surroundings. Just don't expect to be able to pinpoint the bad guys with game changing accuracy. Maybe this is a personal issue of mine but I'm happy with the virtual surround sound either way. It's better than normal headphones in this respect. Assassins Creed sounds GREAT and I was very pleased while playing Metal Gear today. Thunderstorms sound awesome in these games. Most people will be satisfied, I know I am. These are also super easy to use. Literally plug the USB into the PS4 and turn on the headset. The sound turns off on the TV automatically and you're good to go. I have a windows 7 laptop that is a few years old and using the headset on that was just as easy. Plug it in and the drivers install automatically the first time you use it. It really couldn't be easier in my experience. I guess one thing that does suck is that the USB isn't one of those short/micro USB plugs. It sticks out a bit from the front of the PS4. No more than a USB flash-drive does however. And sure, Sony should have added Bluetooth to these but that definitely would have increased the price. I prefer the cheaper price in return for the eyesore. The real question is why isn't the USB a micro one? Not a big deal. It also has an AUX cord connection for when the USB can't be used, like in your phone. I haven't tried that so I have no idea if it sounds different or not. I haven't experienced a problem with the range of the device or its connectivity. I can walk into the next room and hear music/games still. I haven't really tested exactly how far I can get but I didn't buy these so that I could walk all over the house with them. I can use it around my apartment but it isn't a big place by any means. You shouldn't have a problem, for sure, while gaming in front of the TV. The only time I've ever lost connection was when the battery died. Can't complain! **Edit** As far as connection range goes, don't expect to have a stable connection in a different room. The connection has never dropped on me while in the same room as my PS4. However, it will start to lose its connection when you enter a different room. I've learned this after using them at a few different locations. **** Battery life last long enough, it gets at least most of the 8 hours that are advertised. Just don't forget to plug it back in after you're done! I've had to use it while charging a few times and it worked like usual out of a USB wall charger. Nothing special about the wall charger, just the USB charger I use with my phone. It does not come with one of these and the USB cord that does come with it couldn't be much shorter. The USB port in the headphones is also the same size as the port in the PS controller. So cords that charge your controller will also charge the headset. Comfort and size isn't a problem for me. Most people will be very satisfied. I have worn them for hours without feeling uncomfortable or warm. I also believe people that complain about the button layout are being a little ridiculous. I'll admit that I had to take them off a few times to find what I was looking for but just like anything new, you'll learn where everything is located. **EDIT** Also, I should mention that I now own 2 of these headsets. You can work both headsets at the same time on a single ps4. It's easy to set up. After powering on the headphones, a log in screen appears and you just select which psn account is going to be using the headphones. Now this allows you to play games and share the audio between two different headsets. Again, both players will hear the same audio. Don't expect to play split screen and receive split audio. You can also watch movies and listen to music this way. Now if you want to chat with your friend wearing the second headset, you will have to create a psn party. That usually works well but you will hear yourself talking if you are sitting too close to your friend with the other headset. ***** Well that was a long review but feel free to ask me questions, I'll respond.

I've owned several headsets over the years. Most recently, I've been using the Afterglows. The Afterglows weren't bad, but I kept hearing so many great things about these, when I saw them on sale for almost half price I jumped on it. And I have to say that these live up to the praise. Easily the best gaming headset I've ever owned. Most of the time I only use headsets when I'm playing online or if I'm trying to keep the volume down, but I've gotten to where I don't like to play a game without them. You can literally hear everything. I've been playing Dishonored 2 which is a stealth game, and a lot of times I'll think someone is right on top of me even though they're still a ways off. It's almost too much haha. Sound: Like I said, these pick up everthing. You can tell when an enemy is above, below, left, right, behind, etc. You always know where someone is coming from. My Afterglows were pretty good at this as well, but what surprised me about this headset is that I can even differentiate multiple enemies at the same time. That's something that would kind of blend together on my other headsets. Chat: So the chat quality is pretty good. I hear other people perfectly, but the other night a friend was kind of complaining he was having trouble hearing me. He didn't say I was muffled or anything, but that I was going in and out. I was only sitting about 9 feet away from my Playstation, so I don't know what was causing it, but this is the only time I've had a complaint. My friend also owns a pair, and I always hear him fine. And you don't have to have a mic sticking out in your peripheral vision either. This doesn't bother most people, but it's neat that it works so well without it. Comfort: This headset is also the most comfortable headset I've owned as well. The first Afterglows I owned started to hurt my ears after a while. The most recent pair I had was actually really comfortable even over extended sessions, but I think these still edge those out. Those were a little more comfortable around the ears, but these almost seem to feel like they're not even there. The way they're designed, you just forget about them after a few minutes. They are so light-weight, they don't squeeze your head at all, and it's designed in a way that it doesn't feel tight on your ears either. Features: Since this is the flagship headset for the Playstation, they made it to where it has additional features. You can download the app and get specific settings set up for different situations depending on how you like it. So if you're listening to music, you can have a setting for that, you're playing a FPS and have a certain way you like it sound, you can have a setting for that as well. I haven't played around with this a whole lot because I like the default settings just fine, but it's a super neat feature to have avaialble. Overall, I really like this headset. Even at $100, you're not going to find another headset even close to this quality, but at a $60 price tag I would urge everyone to buy them. I've never owned a headset that was in the $200+ range so I can't say it's better than those, but I have tested a few out and this certainly comes very close. They sound great, they're extremely comfortable, they have more features than most other headsets, and they have a stylish design as well!

Ive had this headset for about 5 days now, this is an amazing headset! So for starters anybody wondering about the mic quality, it sounds great ive recorded voice messages on ps4 and it sounds crystal clear none of my friends had issues hearing or understanding me. Thats huge because all the reviews i read or watched on youtube said it was bad or just failed to mention the mic at all but i play a lot of multiplayer games and havent had any issues with it. Also its great to not have a boom mic in your face while your eating haha. Secondly the sound is amazing and all the reviews said this too that sound quality is excelent even when i plugged them into my phone and listened to some dubstep the bass was excellent. Just to clarify im not an audiophile ok! Ive never heard astros or sanhizers or beats so to me these sound awesome. I know people were saying these dont get loud enough...Bull! I was playing advanced warfare and it almost made my ears bleed when i opened a supply drop so they get plenty loud trust me. There is a bit of a learning curve with the buttons but youll get used to that right away. Lets see...oh the sound profiles are cool i wish they had more choices for games but they are pretty good and its easy to change so far ive used shooter, farcry 4, the last of us, and watch dogs. And it actually makes a huge difference from the standard setting. It makes the games come alive. Now the vss mode button is there it works but honeslty its not really a selling point for me, ive tried it in all those games i listed and the only one it seemed to make a diffrence in was the last of us all the other games just seemed to get lower and the volume was already turned up so for the most part its just better to stick to stero which isnt bad cause like i can still tell in which direction an enimies comming from with stero so. One thing i did notice is that its got leather material on the earcups and it is very comfy but it does get a little warm its really not to bad but its noticable after a couple hours which you should take frequent breaks when playing anyways. They are a bit heavy but you adjust to it i think because i was using the ps vita headset it was weird to adjust to having an actuall headset but after the first day i forgot that i was wearing them so they are very comfy. Build quality seems sturdy the hinges that let them fold are made of plastic for some reason but they dont seem cheap its a good value for your money. Oh last thing is the battery life, it actually seems pretty good i havent let them die yet i charged them once in 5 days and the battery wasnt even dead it was at one bar so its pretty good at least it lasts longer than the ps4 controller lol i have to charge that like once a day lol. So to sum it all up this a very good headset if your looking for a wireless suloution that wont break the bank if you do get them wait for the amazon sell cause i got these for like 60 bucks! Which is why i even considered them in the first place cause i was gonna get the p12s but at the time these were $10 more and it was totally worth it...i know its only been 5 days but even if these only lasted 6 months itd still be worth it

I have a pair of Bose quiet comfort headphones that I use with my Dualshock 4's headphone input on my PS4. As much as people will tell you how overpriced Bose is, Bose makes all my movies and games sound extremely amazing on my PS4. It's hard to top those, but I was forced to buy the Playstation Gold headphones for my PS3, which I still use excessively. I am very picky when it comes to sound, so the following quick review in the next paragraph is an obsessive audiophiles review. Features: So there are three power modes on the headphones. Off, 1, and 2. 1 is the default sound, and 2 is the customizable profile placeholder that you can input via the Playstation Companion App. This means that you can download any custom sound profile and put it on power mode 2. Right out of the box, the headphones sound great on default power mode 1 and power mode 2 already comes with a Bass Booster profile. The headphones also come with a Virtual Surround Sound 7.1 button that you can turn off or on in game. Other features are a volume slider to adjust chat/game sound ratio, a volume slider for the master sound, a mute button. Sound: The first thing I tested was a movie. On stereo (VSS 7.1 off), the movies sound much better than with VSS 7.1. VSS 7.1 makes movies sound "hollow". Stereo mode itself with movies is a 8.8/10. The soundstage isn't as wide as my Bose and sounds more compressed, however, the quality is clear and the bass is there. I tested Crysis next because that game has nicely mastered gun sounds that have echo. Stereo sound made it sound flat so I put some "game" profiles on power mode 2 and tested that out. Barely a difference between the two. I tested VSS 7.1 and while it brought to life some of the mid-range and upper-range sound, the VSS 7.1 itself capsized on bass. However, the audio itself was more clear and less flat compared to stereo because of the wider soundstage. Conclusion: In the end, I started to get frustrated with having to exit and re-enter the Playstation Companion App just to change a profile and re-start a PS3 game, but I think my frustration will help you guys out if you buy these headphones. I ended up putting a Custom profile within the Playstation Companion App to power mode 2 which follows: raised Bass by 1 tick, raised Mid by 1 or 2 ticks (see what works for you) and Tre by 2 ticks. The end result? Games sound amazing with VSS 7.1 and the custom on power mode 2. Mid and high range is clear while the bass is perfect. Stereo makes games sound flat. However, for movies, I prefer Stereo mode and power mode 1 because of the less processing. You guys don't need 50 profiles for 50 different games. Sound is sound. Developers create their own sound engine/signature for their games. You don't need to make the sound pass through 2 hoops of fire (developer sound and headphone sound). However, maybe some high profile games truly offer a different sound signature compared to the Custom settings, but I honestly don't see how that is possibly since they probably only have access to Bass-Mid-Tre options like we do. The sound is great for these headphones. A true score would put these headphones at 9/10. For $100, you can't get better.

A few things: I just got these and have only used for an hour or so. Playing Destiny. Coming from using the built-in speakers on my LED TV. Destiny is a shooting game (loud bangs, sweet sci-fi sounds) and built-in TV speakers are... crap. Always crap. So, naturally, these headphones are going to sound extra good to me. With that said, they're pretty awesome. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Sound Quality: 4.5-star. Not as powerful of bass as I had hoped, but my rocket launcher with cluster bombs still sounds very nearly EPIC. I don't really want to use any other heavy weapons because the cluster bombs sound so cool. (If you don't play Destiny, imagine a really deep, clear BOOM). The volume level gets plenty loud for me. Can't hear my fire alarm warning me that the battery is almost dead anymore! I am not sold on this VSS option. I have found that, with Destiny, at least, I prefer the VSS off (at least I think it's off according to the icon that shows/disappears when I hold the VSS button for 2 seconds). But it's not like the sound becomes flat, it still has that surround effect whether this option is on or off. I want to point out that when I first read the 'how it's meant to be played' stuff on the box, I didn't think much. But when I fired my first shot with these things on, and started running around, I just could not believe all the little sounds I had never heard before!!! I have played Destiny for maybe 400 hours and I've just now heard a lot of these cool sounds. This is a sci-fi shooter title made by a very high quality production studio, so these are sounds that you'd hear in a Hollywood blockbuster. Just pure awesomeness. I literally sat there thinking "Does the game know I'm using these PlayStation headphones and now it's playing higher-quality, more detailed sound? So that they can get awesome reviews? Because that would be really genius. Either way, this was $90 well-spent" and then I took another puff, sat back, and developed shell-shock during a PvP match from the terrifyingly loud and up-close melee attack sounds. Dude those f***ing lag-bags get a melee off on me while your body is dissolving in a purple haze you kidding me you... :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Comfort: Great, nice cushy leather padding. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Build Quality: Excellent. 5-star. VERY solid feeling. We're talking Bose quality build. Or Apple, if they made headphones like this. The packaging was nicely done as well. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Ease-of-Use: 3-star. One of the main reasons I gave it overall only 4-stars. Don't get me wrong, setup was extremely easy. BUT, the instructions for setup are basically all that come with the product. The on/off switch has 3 settings: OFF/1/2. I could not find anywhere in the documentation that came with the product on what the heck the difference is between 1 and 2... Also, the 'Sound/Chat' buttons: can't figure it out, doesn't seem to do anything. Volume button makes sense. VirtualSurroundSound button makes sense (once you realize you have to hold it for a couple seconds). For answers, you're apparently supposed to go to the website. I would really prefer these details available in a damn product manual in the package with the product... do they just want website traffic? Who knows. Was disappointed in the product manual, though. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Price: I would pay 50-100% more for these headphones. So yeah, price is great. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Microphone: No clue, haven't talked to anyone yet.

Unos cascos muy sencillos de utilizar. Simplemente conectas al usb de la PS4 el adaptador que viene (muy pequeño), enciendes los cascos y ya. Hay que descargarse la app de sony (es gratis) y veréis unas presets para cada juego. Aunque no veáis el micrófono no os preocupéis: es interior y se escucha perfectamente. Yo venía de unos auriculares en teoria superiores y no he notado apenas la diferencia, y eso que los que tenia valen como 4 veces más

Bom

Probablement le meilleur casque audio pour jouer à la console de Sony ; ce Gold Wireless Stereo Headset se paie le luxe d’avoir une esthétique des plus réussies, une qualité d’écoute au top, et de posséder des oreillettes confortables. Il peut fonctionner en filaire ou en bluetooth, mais l’autonomie en Bluetooth n’est pas terrible. Sa conception robuste et sa modularité en font un must-have pour les possesseurs de PS4 ou de PS Vita. Petit plus : la housse de rangement, très pratique pour faire suivre le casque en déplacement. A noter qu’une édition limitée 20th Anniversary de ce casque est également disponible.

Arrived perfectly on time easy to set up. can adjust bass boost frequency and boost level via enhancements on properties. its not deafeningly loud or anything but it sounds great feels pretty snug and comfy. i dont have a problem listening to them for a while. havent tried it with the ps4 just yet. but ive just been tinkering around with other devices. havent noticed any static or interference like i get from my older wireless set. it sounds pretty crisp for those of you looking for full wireless compatibility, if you run the dongle to your computer and then run a cord from your tv or stereo audio out ports into the line in/microphone port of your computer, and configure your computer to run line in via your sound card for recording, and then set your headset for playback, youll be able to get full wireless compatibility for anything you have connected to your television or stereo. the mic does not seem to work in this configuration but you wont have to be corded to watch tv or anything the only negatives i ave noticed is that when i have it wired directly to my ipod, it doesnt seem to make a difference in sound if i have the thing turned off, or set to 1 or 2. and i can only adjust volume through the headset when its turned on to the 1 or 2 setting. the folding ear cup hinges feel kind of weak and the headband doesnt feel too durable, but im sure they will last as i take good care of my stuff. none of these are really setbacks to me at all however definately a bargain. of course if you want true 7.1 youre gonna have to shell out alot more than that, but these definately do a great job for an affordable headset. i would recommend these, unless you really want to screw up your hearing with skull shaking bass. go for the elites if thats all your after, but in terms of sound quality these do a really great job for what ive paid.

Erstmal ein mega lob an roundMediaUK;) Super service und die leute sind sehr nett gewesen. Die Lieferzeit aus Canada hat etwas gedauert (über 2 wochen) aber da war ich ja schon eingestellt! Zum headset selber: Für mich persönlich hat Sony hier wieder ein sehr guten job gemacht, das Preis(82€) Leistung Verhältnis ist wieder sehr gut. Das headset kann man stundenlang tragen wegen den gemütlichen Polster und den geringen Gewicht. Ich spiele viel Battlefield 4 auf PS4 und bin begeistert! Man hört sachen was man über tv boxen nicht hört. Der sound der lautschprecher ist glasklar und das integrierte Mikrofon macht ein guten job und meine freunde verstehen mich sehr gut! Das einzige was ich bemängeln kann ist der bass! Versteht das nicht als minus punkt aber ein Bisschen mehr bums were drin gewesen;) Falls man mehr Bass will kann man auf den Pulse headset zugreifen! Kann das headset nur empfehlen für ps4, ps3 und ps vita! 5sterne
