Don't usually write reviews so here it goes.. I'm not going to bother with the set up etc as it's very simple and enough people have written about that. Many moons ago I decided to get a gaming headset I went all out spending £250 on a pair of Astro A30 metal gear solid 4 edition. The A30 had great separation but my opinion really lacked in low end. This kept me from buying gaming headsets for a long time (and I mean a long time) fast forward many years and these drew me in namely 50mm drivers, if used correctly can produce some good bass, mids and trebles. Also the fact sony has it's own 3d surround which gives atmos esque sound.

EDIT 3*** (Edits 1 and 2 came before this, i will leave them there as it details the process I had to go through before getting a working headset)I have purchased a third headset from Argos and there is no buzzing! I haven't had the headset for long but from what I've read, if it doesn't buzz straight away then you should be fine.This is what I've done. I waited until all original stock of the headset was gone before buying from a new batch. The new batches DO NOT BUZZ so I will be rating this product purely on how good it is and not the issues it had at launch.Really good sound quality, definitely an improvement over the Gold headset. Very comfortable and easy to customise using the companion app,

I didn't buy these through Amazon. I got them from my local retailer but thought I'd share my feelings on them.After getting complaints from friends and neighbours regarding my surround system while playing games I was very upset with the thought of switching to using headphones, after months of having them I like them more than my external speakers.The sound they produce is crystal clear, using the 7.1VSS they sound amazing in games, I can definetely feel a sense of surround in them however subtle compared to a proper multi speaker setup.The microphone quality I am told I can be heard clearly and can hear other people clearly, there is a adjustment switch on the side to lower the chat volume in favour of game volume.

Competition is quite tough in this price bracket. I found many headsets, each with plenty of pros and cons. For me personally, this ticks most of the boxes but they are definitely not perfect.Pros:+ Good connectivity. You can connect via a USB dongle which works on PCs and laptops. Or connect via the audio jack.+ The headset looks stylish and not cheap. The build seems good. No creaking when you stretch the headband. They collapse inwards too so it's easy to store.+ The integrated mic works fine for me in party chat. Everyone has always said I sound clear. This is despite reading about poor mic quality online. I'm sure it could be better though.+ It feels quite comfortable on my head.

⏱ Time Owned: 3 months? Sound : Sound quality is unbelievable, spacial awareness in games is astounding with Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4 and The Last Of Us showing this off especially well. Sound was so good I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The PlayStation Platnium headset also comes with an equaliser preset button where via the app on PS4 you can load up game specific sound settings. I have used The Last Of Us one and it really enhanced my gaming expierience compared to the default setting.? Design: Initially wearing these they were uncomfortable especially the rubber headband that is designed to hold them in place no matter what you do during your passionate gaming session.

+ Good surround sound quality, especially with the few '3D' sound games such as Uncharted 4+ Uses a dongle so no extra boxes and complicated optical cable configurations, and no need to plug into the controller either. Sound through TV/AVR mutes automatically when headphones switched on. Only drawback being a precious usb slot is taken up.+ No mic stick, mic is built into headphones+ Good configuration app to tweak sound settings. Two settings can be stored at any one time in the headset.+ Decent build quality compared to others tried, folds up nicely for storage+ Being a Sony product it is integrated with the PS4 so icons appear to show battery remaining, mute on/off, surround mode,

Over the years, I have used the PS Wireless Stereo Headset, PS Pulse Wireless Stereo Bassimpact Headset, the PS Wireless Stereo Wireless Headset 2.0 and now this new PS Platinum Wireless Headset.I prefer the design of the Pulse Bassimpact but it was somewhat bulky and heavy. In comparison, the PS Platinum is lightweight after a short while, you forget you're wearing it. The foldable feature is a bonus for storage and/or travelling. The control buttons on the headset are close to each other but once you memorise where each button is located, it is very easy to operate without having to remove the headset.Rather than bore you with technical information and/or jargons,

It's clearly the best wireless headset that is compatible with Playstation 4. It has an excellent sound quality and makes it extremely easy to locate your enemies in combat games. All the sounds are clear and loud. Microphone is not perfect but okay for in-game communication. This headset really deserve something like 4,5 out of 5.I had no issues until I started to use an external hdd. The headset started to lose connection with PS4 when I sit back or go away like more than 2 meters. My assumption is since they both use one of USB ports in the front, the amount of energy is not enough to supply both devices at the same time. Maybe It's just happening because of my PS4. I have the first model of Playstation 4,

I've been testing these headphones for a few hours now, they're very comfortable and feel more durable than the Playstation 2.0's which constantly snapped under normal usage.Sound quality is amazing, gameplay audio is clear and music is full of bass, but not too overboard. I haven't personally encountered the buzzing issue in the right cup other people have described. I haven't been able to fully test the 3D audio on a game like Uncharted but as always the VSS delivers so I don't doubt it's good.The microphone contains feedback options so you can hear your own voice, fantastic for checking that you're not yelling while playing late.

Because my previous headset (sony gold wireless headset 2.0) broke due to a common issue with the hinges, I decided to pre order the platinums a couple on days before release because I thought it had all the features that my previous headset had like being able to work on PS4 and PS3 and being able to connect my phone to it like regular headphones. However, there are flaws to this headset, if you plan on using it on PS3, dont bother, it doesn't work properly and you can only do voice chat, no in game sound like the golds, though, they might fix this in a future update. Another flaw is that the headband can get uncomfortable after a few hours of Gameplay, I have to keep moving the headset on my head every few hours.

Sound quality is incredible, 7.1 surround sound combined with 3D audio is a perfect match up when available. 3D audio is available on basically every single PSVR game title and most newer standard game titles like Modern Warfare (2019). You may want to switch the 3D audio off for older games that don’t support it though. I Cannot play games without this headset anymore, it’s just not the same anywhere else, even through my home cinema system with 7.1 audio. You cannot match the way this headset delivers the sound right on your brain so close to your head. On COD I can hear every enemy footstep in the exact 360 directional scope that they come from. Perfect for battle royale games and intense 1v1 moments.

These headphones are excellent. For the price you get very good quality audio. In the PS store you can download a companion app which enables you to changed the exqualiser settings to how you prefer it or there are some pre-existing options to maximimise the effects of. For example Gunfire and Bassboost. I had a problem with the set i bought as theough no fault of of amazon they stopped holding a charge. But well after the 30 days in which returns are accepted. I contacted amazon customer services and chatted to a very helpful guy called Adrian. He provided excellent customer service and agreed to issue me a refund even though, as I said, the headphones had pass the 30 days returns window.

These headphones are without a doubt fantastic, they fit well, sound incredible and have excellent features. to simply it, here's a few pros and cons.Pros:- Incredible Sound- VSS and 3D audio work amazingly- Good battery life- Even when the battery is dead, they are still usable with the 3.5mm headphone jack- Comfortable- High quality microphone on the PS4- Good presets and plenty of choices to play around with.Cons:- Can cause sweaty ears in hot weather- A bit heavy on the head- (might only be me) occasionally but rarely, cuts out for a second- Microphone sounds low quality on PC and MobileNOTE: If you are buying these,

So I’ve taken delivery of a few headsets recently. Some had clever modes to pick up footsteps or make the ear cup vibrate, but the PlayStation Platinums just feel like a quality pair of headphones. When they were delivered I listened to some music through the 3.5mm jack while COD loaded. Two hours later I found I’d been marvelling at the audio quality and forgotten about the game. Sony already know how to make a good pair of headphones and they work seamlessly with PlayStation. I spent a week trying to pick a difference between Turtle Beach and Trittons, I thought it would take a little longer to come to a conclusion. I happily returned them both the afternoon after my PS headphones were delivered.

Having previously been using a ps3 headset with similar sized drivers I was surprised at the extra punch these had in the levels of sound and increased sense of immersion you get! Honestly I Love these headphones, they are comfortable, easy to put on and use. The buttons are placed where you want them, they are not too heavy and they fold up.The sound quality is great, the 3d audio is fun but a bit of a gimmick at the moment. They work fantastically well with my psvr headset although u need to wire them in to that.The only gripe I have is why the need for a USB dongle? They are the top end sony headset designed for the ps4 specifically so why the dongle!Otherwise,
