I heavily recommend this headset as it’s now $120 on Amazon US, I know it is certainly lacking in the microphone department and I really don’t know why they didn’t choose to have a boom mic when it’s supposed to be a premium gaming headset. Found a great product to over come this called the v-moda boom mic witch is a detachable boom mic for headsets with 3.5mm jacks.
This may help someone. Using platinum headphones with note 9 bluetooth. I'm using the lil adapter piece that came with N9 and plug in platinum headphone dongle into. Works very well.
I have a big ass head and all of sony's headsets end up snapping at the band and with aluminum I just feel like its going to snap at the hinge now. also the sliding mechanism they use is made of thin plastic and loses it's tension within a month or less. my first pair of gold wireless snapped in half, my pulse elites cracked below the motors, my second and current pair of gold wireless are being held together with duck tape because one side started to crack and the same side lost all tension in the slide rail. I thought about taking an old aviator's headset and just bolting the cups from my first gold wireless set to it (yeah, whole thing broke but, it still works haha.)
If you gonna buy these buy some different earpads too cause the default ones don't keep the speaker from pressing on your ear it starts to hurt after an hour and after a few days it starts to give you headaches too
Congratulations on the video. I'm intending to buy a headset for the PS4 and its video helped a lot, but since in Brazil everything is much more expensive so, the choice should be very well made. If it is possible for you to answer a few questions, really will be greatfull for me. I use a home theater 5.1 to play on my PS4, and it is awesome for of open world games, but for games like Resident Evil 7, Evil Within 2, Outlast 2, Senuas Sacrifice, etc, the headset give other experience. There is in the manual how should I proceed (the setup is done on TV or the PS4 so that the sound comes out only headset)? Being cordless is absolutely essential to me and in your opinion (considering the pros and cons that you have exposed) is there another headset with better cost and benefit (cheaper but technically equal or more than the analyzed model) ?. Many thanks and a big hug.
I know you stated that you don't play PS4 much but I was wondering if you could provide an updated opinion on how you feel about this headset? I've been saving up for a headset for my PS4 and the Platinums have been quite alluring as they are quite affordable for a wireless headset and seem to be a bit more durable than the Gold have been reported as being. Also, do you know how comfortable they are with glasses on?
So this might seem stupid and this vid is old but I have a question...is there any other way you can charge your headset without the PS4 on?cause I would like it to charge overnight but I can't becasue the PS4 has to be on...any suggestions?
How can you do a review of a PS4 gaming headset when you don't really play PS4...How do they compare to the Gold? How good was the mic? Did it pick up audio in the room since its embedded? Can you charge and use the Headset at the same time?
I got these about a month ago. Find them a bit bulky and uncomfortable and the ear cups got hot after an hour or so. I didn't find such a problem with the Gold headset. Would you recommend another headset for PS4?
Frank, will you review Steelseries' new line of headsets? I'm thinking of upgrading my Siberia Elite PRISM's. I want something just as bulky and audio worthy. Thanks!
I want to buy this but need to know first, are there different verions of this like the Gold one (old and enhanced), or is it the same since three years? please help
The best on the market for ps4 is rated a 7. I owned the pulse and it s so gimmicky and annoying having that vintage your head. I had to turn 2 ladies as the battery would only last an hour sometimes 2.they were shit and hit my money back . The best thing they did ditch that Vibrating cans. They drained battery, we're annoying and added undue weight. Get a couch buttkicker if you want immersible play. It is way better.
Did u ever find a good head set for audio like listing to music and stuff I kinda like hearing bass to buy can't find any one taking about one listen to music to
Tbh i bought a gold 6 years ago and that shit is TRASH!! Its break on its own overtime literally, then i bought a platinum 5 years ago, its better than the gold but that is also TRASH it also breaks on its own but lastest longer not to mention these playstation headset sound audio is honestly terrible, the mic is terrible the battery dies waay to quickly also and its durability is bad i would even pay $30 for a platinum tbh those were my first gaming headsets they are just overpriced i knew nothing about headsets at the time, i bought a corsair void elite for $80 and after hearing the sound quality on that and the mic is PERFECT! U would already know its worth it and i got it 3 years now i use it a lot like A LOT and nothing has happened to it, corsair, steel series, hyperx and razer headsets are the best budget gaming headsets u can buy, all of sony headsets are ASS!
anyone has this headset with the problem that the left ear sometimes don't give sound at all or really soft . it makes me crazy hope anyone can help me
I gave the headset to my brother because I felt the audio was low. I was disappointed. You're better off with wired if you want good audio and a amp too.
Dude....try messing around whit the chat sound buttons, it reduces game audio and increases chat audio even when youre not chatting so if you bump it by accident the headset ca sound super low, i remember my brother used it one time and i didnt know about and i ended up thinking my headset was damaged because the audio was so low.
sako mako Other way around. Kids can't afford PC so they go for Consoles, where a lot of their friends are. A lot of friends of mine back in middle school and High school all usually had consoles. It was hard finding someone who pc gamed. Sure there are a few kids on pc but mostly the mature audience is on PC because they can afford unless the kid has wealthy parents.
I don't own the Platinum headset but I do own the Pulse Elite and that works on my Mac and PC wirelessly with the dongle so I would imagine this would too. I just wasn't able to use the different modes.
I ordered the plats of amazon...they arrived wednesday....on Thursday i re packaged them and sent them pack to amazon! Very disappointed with the overall audio quality...muffled and dull sound! Ive been using am old pair of xbox 360 wireless turtle beach x41's...and they sound quality on these is miles ahead of the plats. I cant believe the plats are sonys flagship gaming headset. Massively let down!
I’m glad for this review. They have a deal going on right now at game stop for $99. But this review helped me decide not to get it. It’s not what I’m looking for.
if anyone is thinking of buying these on 2020... DON`T. Ive had them since they released and the build quality is really cheap, the ear cups started peeling and now look awful, they have a design issue where when you are in a Ps4 party your friends will start to hear themselves and will be really annoying, the bluetooth connection is garbage, sometimes im laying on the couch 2 meters away from the PS4 and if i cover one ear cup with my hand they would disconnect. Please dont buy this headset.
