Sony PlayStation Gold Wireless Headset Review | PCMag

PS4 consoles allow you to restore (factory reset) your headset by using the Headset Companion app. The app can be used to restore the Gold wireless headset and Platinum wireless headset. I know that there’s always a lot of hype around new console releases. So, if you’re worried that the accessories you bought for the old version won’t work, let me put your mind at ease. As long as your headset is officially licensed for the console, it will most likely work. If that’s not the case, let’s move on. We’ve listed places to look for the fault, along with the solutions. Not Connected to the Right Device or the Right Way Unlike most gaming headsets, the PlayStation Gold doesn't have a boom microphone. It relies on a pinhole mic on the left earcup. This is similar to the microphone on the Platinum headset, and on the 1More Spearhead gaming headset for PCs. For a pinhole mic it sounds reasonably clear, and is reliable for in-game voice chat. However, if you want to record or stream your games on the internet and have clear commentary, you should consider a wired headset with a boom mic for a clearer sound, like the Astro Gaming A10. ConnectivityNow that the cable is ready, connect it to the designated place. Turn on the headset to make sure it works. With that, the indicator light should beep up.

I’ve already said that there’s not a full list of third-party headsets compatible with the PS5. Although it all depends on the manufacturer, some are speculating that the headset must support PS5 audio technology. Basslines are a priority: We noticed the H3s can't handle basslines at higher volumes as well as their pricier counterparts, so if you're after a thumping lower range we'd recommend moving further up the price scale. If you've made the jump to the new generation, you can be safe in the knowledge that your existing PS4 headset will, in all likelihood, work with your new console. If you bought your headset before the PS5's release, though, you might not be getting the best quality 3D or surround sound. Do any headsets work with PS4? Verdict: With new generation audio the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro wireless is going to breathe new life into any PS4 setup. Between crystal clear audio, a high end microphone, and additional quality of life features, the Pro Wireless is a go-to for anyone looking to indulge themselves in some high-end PS4 audio. While that naturally high price point is going to be prohibitive for some, this is the gold standard when it comes to the best PS4 headsets. We've heard broader, bigger sound from richer headsets, but for the price, the Gold Headset puts on a great show when it comes to games and movies alike.

Simple, sleek and a great value for gamers

That's excellent for anyone after a one and done PS4 headset that goes beyond the capabilities of devices purpose built in the previous generation's heyday. Wired connection required for use with PlayStation®VR and mobile devices. 7.1 virtual surround sound only available on PS4™ systems. PS4™ system software update may be required. You mostly play single player games: There are some issues to iron out with those haptic effects when online chat comes into play, but if you mostly play solo adventures you're going to get the best value out of this headset.

For multiplatform gamers who don't want to own multiple headsets, that's a definite consideration. Sony's headset has dyed-in-the-wool PlayStation fans as its target audience, which is surely a sizeable crowd – but that focused approach might leave some searching elsewhere. Which is a shame, considering all this has to offer. Verdict

Hear unseen enemies and immerse yourself in explosive action with 7.1 virtual surround sound in all PS4 games Honkai Star Rail has finally lost me, but it's made me more motivated than ever to play Genshin Impact Design: The Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX sounds great, yes, but where it shines on top is its comfort. With roomier cups, but still plenty of noise isolation, we were surprised at just how many hours we could keep this thing on for. Luxurious materials and padding kept things comfortable for even the longest of sessions, and we never felt an excess clamp force either. This is an easy but delicate process. So, if you find it intimidating, get help from a professional. Tips for Headset Maintenance
