$Worth Your Money$
6 of 6 found this helpful I haven't had too many headsets, but I've had enough to tell you that this headset has very good sound quality and is quite comfortable. Before I bought these, I researched just about every wireless bluetooth gaming headset that I could find for the PS4. This was the 2nd best below Astros, which are TWICE the price. These are better than 90% of wired headsets as well, from what I found in my research.
I bought it used so I'm not sure if it's just because the padding has worn out (previous owner put about 150 hours of use to it) or if the pads just aren't the best, but after about 2 or 3 hours of wearing these, they start to irritate my ears. I have big ears and they still cover my ears completely and my ears don't touch the speaker cover material, but it still somehow irritates me. They might just need to be a little softer.
Hooking it up (to a PS4) is as easy as plugging in the bluetooth connector (stored conveniently in the earcup) and turning the headset on. Wifi does sometimes make it cut out, but that doesn't happen often enough to choose another headset over these.
They didn't include any mic-monitoring technology into this headset. When you are trying to talk to friends online you have to yell to hear yourself. Seriously. My roommate came home one day and said I was literally yelling into the microphone. I didn't realize I was doing this, I was just trying to hear myself so I didn't sound like this: "Blehuc siodcnrr eridkwo."
PROS:
Fully Wireless BlueTooth for everything except XBOX (needs a cord from headset to controller).
Great sound quality: 7.1 Dolby DTS Surround Sound
Comfortable for short periods of use
Extremely convenient to store the bluetoth connector in the headset itself when not in use.
Standard Micro USB to charge
Buttons and volume wheel are easy to access
Good build quality, no common breaks
CONS:
No Mic-Monitoring software.
You need to install the headset software on your computer to use the headset at all, even if your computer speakers don't make any sound after you plug in the bluetooth connector.
Earpads are not comfortable after 2-3 hours.
Need a cable for XBOX.
Overall, I definitely recommend this headset. I bought it for $120 used, but it is well worth the $170 or whatever it is new. It was either this headset or $300 Astros. If you don't want to spend that much, this is very good quality for settling at 2nd place.
I hope this helps!
