Please help!

I have a pair of the older release razer carcharias (the one with seperate mic/audio cables) and I want to just plug them into the DS4.

WHAT THE HECK ADAPTER will be able to convert seperate mic/headphone cables into the combined jack I need to plug into the DS4?

I love my carcharias and have ZERO need to change to anything else. They fit my head better than anything I've ever used and have put in many 6+ hours sessions without fatigue.

Why not just connect your Pulse Elite to your DS4?

I posted twice about this in this thread already.

I went with the Vitas on Amazon for 12.01. I had a 12.00 credit from them delaying my camera shipment so it cost me .01!

I was watching Mark Bozon's PS4 Twitch stream the other day. He was using iPhone earbuds and the mic honestly sounded great. Shame about the actual earbuds themselves.

Is it possible there was some kind of user error involved and that's why it didn't work?

Oh my god I had no idea I could do this. I know it works for game audio but had no idea it worked as a mic with the line out. Oh man this is awesome!

im not sure if they exist but you would need: 2.5mm(two ring) female ------> 3.5mm(three ring) male

it would look something like this

I been trying to find some new earbuds too. I actually prefer wrap around with a mic and good sound. Earbuds never work for me for some reason

I don't want big headphones. I want a chat headset, like the 360. I want to hear my game audio through my A/V system.

Wow those are perfect. I'll wait for reviews but i think this will be my future headset.

What is a good 3.5mm headset for under 50 dollars?

The Official Vita Headset. Only $12 in the US.

That's my setup.

vita buds look perfect for me...tempted to get a vita with it!

I highly recommend Palm Stereo Headset ! Good sound for cheap. 4.5/5 star rating in amazon with over 290 reviews.

Do you always only hear chat with one ear, even when using earbuds?

$9.99!



PS Vita headsets are amazing piece of hardware. I own 4 and I could never be happier.

It's great for your personal use. You can easily find one for $10 like this one. It has a sliding mute button for mic in case you don't want to talk; most mics don't have a dedicated mute button. It's also has good speakers and microphone.

Best of all, its official too!

Oh wow. I forgot I bought one of these. still sealed too

So all Turtle Beach Headsets need a converter? Thought the firmware updated to use USB headsets?

Was planning to use my Turtle Beach P11s if I didn't get PX22s when I get my PS4. Would I be better off just buying the official PS wireless headset?

How can you use the Xbox 360 wired headset with the Ps4? Doesn't it have a weird bulky connector where it plugs into the 360 controller?

The Pulse Elite isn't going to sound as nice as a pair of PX4s, which cost the same.

Looks like I'm going to have to spring for a $7 chat cable.

thanks for the links. I couldn't find the proper section on that site for headsets. I found this one going back a page. it has a 3.5mm plug for PS4 and a 2.5mm adapter for use with the 360 pad. $10

I'll repeat. Vita headset has a mute button. MUTE Button! Costs way less than what you're paying for these.

You will need that mute button and you will thank me later! :P

Stop adding more wires and accessories to your controller. It will be a wired mess in a wireless world.

I've already got a pair of Apple Earpods that I got with my 5s; two questions -

The mic on those functions correctly if I want to use it for online play, correct?

Would you recommend the this pair over the Apple ones?

If the Vita ones are better I'd be happy to ditch the Apple ones, I don't find them very comfortable.

Not spending any money on headsets when I have a perfectly good one that Sony seems to have no interest in adding support for.

Support will come with the firmware update that includes support for the Pulse Elites. The Wireless Stereo Headset has been rebranded as the basic Pulse Headsets, but their basic principle of functionality is identical. Sony has stated that both will be supported.

Though since they only use the 2.4ghz wavelenght, I sometimes get interference with my Pulses on my PS3, so for the time being I'll stick to the Vita headset.

The Turtle Beach Px4 gets my thumbs up.

for people suggesting apple headphones, don't they use a different pinout on their headphones than everyone else with ground and mic swapped vs other peeps? isn't that why they don't work properly on Vita?

Optical -> External DAC -> Good Headphones

Why Sony thinks packing in ear infection buds is a good idea is beyond me.

Wow, those look pretty pricey. Just checked the compatibility thread, and it seems like the Z11's work , audio and mic. Might get those in the meantime.

I will still use the bundled headset for the microphone. Still searching for a better one though. I hear the Zalman clip on mic is decent. Any advice on clip on microphones, anyone?

Arg...my DAC is USB in only and my Schiit Magni doesn't have optical in either. My HE500 NEED the amp and the HD650s do too, although to a lesser extent.

Also, do all Apple-type earbud/mic sets work with the controller input?

Fixed!

DO NOT USE APPLE IPHONE HEADPHONES!

Please. At least, if you're going to be using the mic. You can't hear it, but there's a constant buzz that is produced that will drive anybody you play with crazy.

It sucks, because I had planned to use mine, and then discovered that.

How do the controls work on iPhone EarPods? i.e. does play/pause work as Mute or still play/pause? Any option to mute with it?

Are you sure it's not just your mic?

Yes. The mic on both Vita and Apple earphones/earbuds work perfectly for gaming.

I personally went for Vita ones because:

1. Apple earbuds do not stick in my ears, ever. If they sit in your ear, then don't spend money on this.

2. I always talk with my brother or friends or whatnot, and I would like to have the ability to mute the mic at will. Apple (or any cellphone) mic doesn't have a dedicated mute button to mute when you don't feel like talking. Vita has a mute button.

All in all, it's a $10 investment in something that will be dedicated for gaming and will be replaced by Sony if they fuck up, so having one warranty spot helps too. I love the mic mute button (lol). Its best to use something that is OFFICIALLY supported by Sony in case shit happens, and Vita headsets are officially supported. :)

I want a mono headset. Also, I prefer a wired headset, don't like dealing with charging a headset.

I don't appreciate being a beta tester for this console launch.
As for earbuds I can't use them, they need to roll out the next firmware this week.

Edit: it works fine if you just wanna listen to game audio. But when you try chatting with someone all hell breaks loose

But stereo is better! :P

Your personal choice, I suppose. I like stereo because I can stop using my TV audio and listen straight through the vita headset; I'm so glad all in-game audio and chat audio can be heard by one pair of headphones. Oh and you don't have to charge the vita headsets. I hate connecting multiple devices. I tried the whole "amp + headphone" setup in the PS3 days, and its just a mess to deal with.

Don't want to use the headset for audio, just chatting. Doesn't make sense to get a stereo headset as I would have to tuck one headphone into the top of my shirt.

There have been numerous people in here mentioning this issue.

Of course, it could be a question of the exact model/generation of Apple's iPhone headset. My trial was with the most recent version (one that comes with the 5S).

I tried it with some earbuds myself, the audio quality coming out of the controller is surprisingly good.

So did those ones cause buzzing too? Or is it just prior generation ones?

I don't find them very comfortable. If I use it for more than twenty minutes my ears get sore, haha. Glad I can get the Vita ones, then. I'll stick with that. Thanks. c:
