What customers say about "Key Specs"

Sony PlayStation 4 Platinum Wireless Headset

The rubber on the adjustable headband on the headset which rests on your head is great because it doesn't push in
These headphones are without a doubt fantastic, they fit well and easy to adjust.
It have noise cancellation, I can not hear much around me when I am gaming with these.
The headband is the type of rubber you make Balloons out of, after a few hours of messing with that on your head you start to feel a bald patch.
Not sure if the noise cancelling works too well, chat members could hear my loud PS4 fan.

Sony PlayStation 4 Gold Wireless Headset

It adjusts easily, charges quickly and sports the same familiar control layout.
These headphones have mechanically adjustable ear cups that clicks with each adjustment and it's easy to find perfect fit.
Superior in sound quality, comfort and noise cancelation.
Although not active noise cancelling but it has excellent natural background reduction.
The sound bleeds out and it doesn't cancel any outside noise.

What customers say about "Headset"

Sony PlayStation 4 Platinum Wireless Headset

They are comfortable and the pleather earcushions are soft.
The sound is awesome, especially with shooter games. The battery life is also impressive
The sound quality on this product is superb, you can really tell which direction sounds are coming from.
These are the best gaming headphones I’ve ever used, the accuracy on call of duty blackout is unbelievable.
Though this would be an upgrade from Gold headphones but they don’t sound as good and whilst ok they are nothing amazing.

Sony PlayStation 4 Gold Wireless Headset

The sound is very crisp with the option of adding extra bass by way of the app you can get from the PlayStation store.
The headset, the sound, the overall is pretty good, very fine purchase.
The headset is very comfortable to wear. The over the ear earpieces are a good size and they do not get hot when wearing.
They fit well and are comfortable. Sound quality is good.
Bad part is the cups aren't very deep and after a few hours you will feel them pressing on your ears.

What customers say about "Microphone"

Sony PlayStation 4 Platinum Wireless Headset

No mic stick, mic is built into headphones, and performs very well.
There are really high quality microphone on this headset.
Sound quality is good and people can hear me well so the microphone is good as well.
The integrated mic works fine for me in party chat. Everyone has always said I sound clear.
Microphone sounds very low quality on PC and Mobile.

Sony PlayStation 4 Gold Wireless Headset

Mic is good and no one has ever had a problem hearing me talk.
Have been told by my online gaming friends that my microphone sounds much better compared to my previous headphones.
Headphones with built in mic and they are great quality.
The mic quality is very poor so I would not recommend them for anyone who wishes to record their voice or stream etc.
The mic is ok but nothing special, makes you sound a bit muffled compared to mics with a stalk.

What customers say about "Features"

Sony PlayStation 4 Platinum Wireless Headset

The sound through PS4 using the Virtual Surround Sound was amazing.
Good surround sound quality, especially with the few '3D' sound games such as Uncharted 4.
Chat/game sounds balance dial works well and is nicely implemented.
VSS and 3D audio work amazingly good. Highly recommend to use this features.
Mute button isn't that straightforward to find for when needed quickly.

Sony PlayStation 4 Gold Wireless Headset

Wireless surround sound and wired 3D audio capability (PSVR) amazing features.
Battery last for like 8 hours and this is pretty good value.
I like the fact there is not a microphone wire in my face getting in the way, it makes these a very easy pick up and play headset to talk to people.
It uses a USB dongle to communicate with PS4, and being a Sony product I hoped the BT would work stand alone.
The buttons I would have liked to have felt a little more sturdy given the brand reputation.
