These are really nice. I got them a few months back and have been really impressed. Good deal OP. :smiley:

Good find op, as they seem to be nearer £70 in most other places.

Got a pair of these for Christmas.
Make sure to download the "Headset Companion App" from the store on either PS3/PS4. You can download customized audio profiles for different games that amplify certain sounds. For example, Destiny's audio profile allows you to hear chests through walls easier.

oh man, I just purchased these last week from argos for 70quid, would they accept returns?
Clisig to TechNinja
24 Mar 16#16
never cost anything by just asking ARGOS, right? or ask them to just price match this.
ajavaid92 to TechNinja
24 Mar 16#21
Or you could purchase these and return these new ones to Argos with the Argos receipt? Simples.

Amazing reviews on this. Best Ps4 headphones under 100. Been waiting on a price drop. Would you look at that? A delivery advantage to Northern Ireland. Unheard of

Still have the first gen ones, and besides being a bit bulky, they are one of the best headsets I bought at this price range.

is there a way to get Amazon to price match these, or do they normally just do things like this automatically?

24 Mar 16#11
Can't fault the price, cracking deal.
However, I got a pair of these in the past and was wholly unimpressed.
Audio quality was lacking, comfort was questionable and they felt flimsy and cheap.
At this price they're a good buy, but there are plenty of better options out there.
moneysavingkitten to H0axx
24 Mar 16#26
Wow, if I was going to pick at these for something, comfort would be last on the list. they're so soft it's like wearing a pillow.
My only gripe is the microphone isn't great and quite directional.
stevenshannon1982 to H0axx

Ooohh I bought it for £64.99 two weeks ago on Smyths... Do you think they are going to return the difference?
sweeten16
24 Mar 16#28
Ordered. Simple trick if you want to use them on Xbox is to connect headset to pc then stream xbox to your PC. Can put video quality on very low and minimise since you're only using the stream for audio.
I do this when I want to play xbox and listen/watch something on PC at the same time coming through the one headset.
chris88
24 Mar 16#29
Wish there was more volume settings. I find the highest is to loud & the second highest is too low. Seems to be a big gap between the volumes. Always have to mess around with in game audio settings to get it right. Good headset at this price though.

Brilliant headset. I bought one just after Christmas. the companion app is really good but I don't believe it is updated enough with newer game settings.
Hi,
I have a pair of these off of ebay. I thinking of buying them now so I can get the other bits and the box and just reselling the used one on ebay with the pieces it came with. got it for a bargain at 20quid in pristine condition! How do I order this. It is saying TBA 2016...

I phoned John Lewis this aft and got price match for Manchester Trafford Centre. Smyth's seem to have c&c stock for Bury & Salford West One so agreed price match for me to collect from JL next week as Trafford Centre store none in stock ATM. Many thanks to OP.

Got a similar deal to this during "Black Friday". They look great, feel great, sound great, and all the chat capabilities work great too. Nuff said really.
Although I will add that a cool feature of this is that some outside sound comes through the microphone and in to your ears, meaning you can hear the fire alarm going off, baby crying, whatever. The biggest reason why this is good for me is that I can hear my own voice as I speak - it freaks me out when I can't!

24 Mar 16#60
I know it's fairly large step up in price but before you buy these Sony's .......put them up against a set of Beyer MMX 300's running through an Astro mixamp, or even the higher end Sennies or Astros and they don't compare.
If you're willing to shell the dough out you'll hear why you've spent that sort of money instantly, rather than keep buying budget ones looking for the right sound it does make sense to buy quality from the outset.
And I do speak from personal experience, I'd say the Astro cans are nowhere near the same league as Beyers, I got a white pair of A40's that came with the Xbone edition Mixamp that I used once. As decent quality as they are they don't come close to the MMX 300's so they went back in the box and have never been used since.
The Germans just manufacture quality, it's that simple.

I've bought these for my son at Christmas & they have just broken in two. My first thought was that he broke them but on inspection, the head band is covered in dozens of cracks across it's width from one end to the other. A quick google suggests that this is a common problem.

Yes but 5 working days with 2 bank holidays in the way - I arranged to collect from my local JL. I've just had a look on Smyth's website and their Speke store is showing low stock. JL's website shows Speke as 7 miles from their Liverpool store - so should be within their 8 mile price match radius. Hope this helps.

Are these worth getting over the turtle beach p11 which I have had a for a few years ?

Chasloyal to bigdeal66
26 Mar 16#89
I'll say it again, no other cans come even close to the Beyer MMX 300's but they're not cheap and of course you need to run them through a mixamp too.
Really is that old cliché of you get what you pay for.
