​We must be using completely different headsets as mine has crystal clear audio with decent bass and the headset companion app is great

very tinny headset do not come recommend from me, a buyer of said crap headset.

Very good headset, can use with PC also, heat added

The HUKD way, buying a bargain headset for a console you don't even own :smile:

Great headset it made my experience playin deus ex md with their custom audio

md...

more deafening?..

decent price

but reminder that theres a new platinum headset releasing (in November I believe @ £130), so you could wait for that if you want, and it may mean further discounts on these gold headsets

:laughing: Yes​

​majorly disappointing..

Agreed, highly rated excellent sound and app is good.

Amazon same price.

Great headset. Won't get better for the price.

Isn't this the rrp ?

Speaking from experience this is the best headset I've ever had. And Ive had quite a few headsets. The only problem I had is the fact I have a large head and I kept snapping them every time I put them on. I fixed it eventually with a lot of flexible super glue.

Love mine. Heat from me. I paid £60

Too quiet for me when playing Guitar Hero. Tried all of the settings but can't figure it out. Works OK for wireless Skype though on my PC.

plug and play on pc and ps4. been very handy for me as i switch betwen both often

the virtual 7.1 doesnt work on pc though. and im not sure about the voice chat (never used it myself)

The most comfortable headset I've ever used, and I have big awkward ears. Had mine since launch and have been well worth the money. No sound issues for me, they go very loud. Just use buttons on the headset to alter volume, or other rocker to alter chat/game levels.

I just picked up the original PS3 version (that works with the PS4) for 19.99 in Argos bargains in Stanley, county Durham. think there are more stores across the country so worth popping in and seeing if they have some. Just thought I'd try them at that price. They don't sound as good as my Sennheisers but I didn't expect them to either, but for the price, they sound decent. I'd imagine the sound quality will be similar to these.

​If you download the Razer Surround Sound app on your PC, you can output the simulated surround sound via the USB dongle and it does work :innocent:

Be careful the headband rubber is a manufacturing error these are notoriously faulty after 2/3 months use.

The rubber simply breaks down to a soft cracked flimsy headband.

I had 2 which both developed same fault, I returned both. I have a friend who is on his 3rd, the previous 2 did same thing.

Note Sonys new model is a metal headband.

tried them all but it doesn't fix the mic

​Yes I thought i'd post a comment in a thread for a headset I didn't use....

these look awesome! I am tempted but if anyone else has a different alternative to a slightly cheaper ps4 headset let me know :smiley:

Ah thanks for that, I think it only happens on GH so it could be because the Microphone is on high (not that I sing). Will check it out tonight.

I have the older Pulse Elite headset which are great but the sidetone is almost non exsistant. do these have good sidetome or are u yelling when chatting?

This.

Best headset I've owned. Easy to operate, comfortable and quality, customisable audio. Comes with bluetooth adapter and an AUX lead for other uses. Steal at under £50!

Have the Pulse headset that these replaced, and the sound is awesome.

At this price these things are an absolute STEAL.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0101RPMY0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_6oo.xbKP2YRYW £49 at amazon too

Paid £75 for mine and don't regret a penny of it so at this price they are a steal.

Picked up some from Sainsbury's a couple of weeks ago. Sound quality is excellent, can't comment about build quality over time, although it feels good right now. Only slight gripe is that you can't adjust the earphones if you have a bigger head/lower ears. Not so much of a problem for me but maybe would be for others.

These really are ace.

Work on PC as well.

Used to work on Nvidia shield tv too, but I believe the last Nvidia update has caused issues.

Cheers ordered from game with some points.

I bought these instore for this price and, I am reliably informed, he is getting old as the bass, even on low, was too much for him!! lol

Maybe, but look at the amazon link "customer images" section.

Really good sound for the price. I'm on my second pair though due to the lousy plastic/rubber headband issues mentioned above. Mic works fine wireless through PC as well & like mentioned above, if you download the free Razor Synapse program you can get simulated surround sound on PC as well.

Apparently Sony's PR themselves have posted in the past that there are a lot of fake versions of these headsets being sold which could explain some of the problems people have with sound.

That would apply no matter were you purchased from, wonder how he snapped the headset? doubt that was through wear and tear?

Friend has this headset which is brilliant. Might pick one up myself if I can get a PS4 cheap!

Son wants a wireless headset. This or Turtle Beach Stealth 400? Not prepared to spend more than £50 on one.

Just be told, these headsets are made with defective plastics.

Im not going to buy anyway mate, dont use my ps4 enough was just pointing out they were same price at amazon

same experience here. great headset!
op heat added

Had mine for over 2 years now best headset ive had went from a pair of £179 sharkoons to a £250 wireless turtle beach to these and if these broke i wouldnt hesitate in getting another pair,of course they cant compare sound wise to sharkoon or the highend turtle beach sets but they come close and there wireless comfy and light

Is the surround sound actually...well surroundy?
I've tried these virtual 3D sound stuff before and been very unconvinced. Hopefully the technology has moved on?

I have had these headphones for over a year and they are great. The Last of Us audio option which you download from the app made the game more intense and the surround sound was excellent for a set of headphones.

As with anything that breaks it all depends on how you treat them. i have had mine for over a year and use them almost everyday and they still look brand new. Don't over stretch them and fold them away nicely when finished and they will be just fine.

How much external sound do they block out ? If I set the volume quite low would I be able to hear say the doorbell?

Got these a few months ago. Compared to the cheapish turtle beaches I had, the only negative I have is there wasn't quite as much base.

However I love them as they are wireless, and the mic is internal and they are comfy with good sound overall.

I have to look up to see what custom settings are best for a FPS. I play Rainbow 6 Siege mostly and these are great for a game where sound is so important.

I've owned 2 pairs of these, the first pair lasted just over a year and then the battery stopped holding its charge so i took it to CEX and sold for £25, the second pair i bought on the Amazon prime day deal for £49, but i hardly use them now as i prefer using my Astro A40's as the sound quality is far more superior and they are a more comfortable fit for extended use. I cant fault the Sony's they are an excellent headset and they have served me well........ but as they say..... once you go Astro, you never go back bro (i just made that up :sunglasses: )

nice find

Mine are ready for collection from game. Same price too.

Hey dude is there a paticular version i need to get? i tried the latest version and its just saying there is no compatible device

I no longer use the program. It did work fine until an update which meant every time I restarted my compute it kept reverting the sound output to a different device & it was a lot of faffing to sort it each time so I removed it. However I told them all about it & deleted it a while back. recently they emailed me out of the blue thanking me & informing me that the issue had been fixed.

All you should have to do is open the program & it has a drop down box which just lists all the audio playback devices/drivers windows can see (it works on any device/setup). If it's not listed there then Windows hasn't detected or installed it, I'd try another USB port.

Thanks for ya help buddy :wink:

I don't understand how a RRP headset is a hot deal, one that is prone to problems, breaks, only suitable for the small minded (lol) and essentially there being better headsets available for the money

Not wireless but if you want something with better quality audio (bass, mids, treble), better build quality, clearer mic then go with the HyperX Clouds - £54

The clouds are known for being pretty amazing for their price range. I wouldn't bother paying £20 more for the Cloud 2.

Using on PC with USB dongle. Audio quality is really good but the microphone is reported as poor quality - tinny was the expression used. Any ideas? Is there any software to modify this? I have experimented with the microphone levels in Windows 10 but it makes no difference and disabled Skype's auto-control of volume. Still no luck.

Sounds good but hinges are so fragile, returned one only to have another break on me.
