PlayStation 4 Gold Wireless Headset

Product Information

So, if you’re worried that the accessories you bought for the old version won’t work, let me put your mind at ease. Certain PlayStation 4 games fully support 3D audio, which will give you an even more breathtaking experience with sounds coming from all directions like above, behind, or below you. We test across a range of genres during that time, hitting wider open world games, faster competitive online shooters, and more atmospheric adventure titles as well. There's PlayStation Vita compatibility mentioned, but that's only by plugging in the included headphone jack into both the headset and your handheld. We love when console manufacturers pack at least a very basic headset with each and every console they ship out.

The SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ Wireless are the best lower mid-range PS4 gaming headphones we've tested. Their boom mic also has great recording quality, so your voice sounds clear and natural but a bit bright. You'll need to be sure to flick the power switch off if you want to avoid battery drain once done playing, however. You want to connect to different platforms: If you're looking for a PS4 headset that can also transfer across Nintendo Switch and Xbox, the wired Nova 1 keeps things simple enough to just require a 3.I didn’t have much issue when I was using the headset, but I also had a hell of a time fitting them on our testing unit—people with larger ears will probably have similar issues.

If there's a complaint to be made about the Gold Headset, it's that it lacks a largeness of sound, and it doesn't have the range of higher-end devices.Please note: GAME Gift Cards cannot be redeemed and Reward/Elite Points cannot be spent or earnt through GAME By Sports Direct. In terms of microphone quality, friends that we spoke to all said that the sound quality was “above average”–in part, we think, due to the noise-cancellation software Sony packed into the Platinum. The sound is excellent, the mic is clear, and the headset is very comfortable to wear, making the Razer Kraken a great choice. However, they don't have sound customization features and create a less natural, open-seeming passive soundstage.

Of course, that being said, there are headsets out there that offer more pronounced surround sound –one area that we felt the Platinum’s could’ve improved upon. Nevertheless, it still carries that subtle, almost headphone-styled form factor that makes it such a good option for use on the go as well as in the home.

However, they don't have ANC, so any loud background noise around you will impact how well you hear your game. Rather than connecting directly to the PlayStation 4 using Bluetooth, the Gold uses a USB dongle for a better wireless connection.
