Hair drying is cutting right into my gaming time.

Hair drying takes less than 5 minutes.

Who the hell comes up with such awful ideas.

 

[luulubuu]

Already 39, no time to waste.

 

[BigEmil]

Hair drying is not healthy for your hair anyway

When you have wet hair just use earphones, when you don't just use the regular headphones

 

[The Albatross]

GlamFM, the Avatar, and this thread.
It's all come together

Steelseries neckband

 

[Drackhorn]

Okay?

 

[daveo42]

Any recommendations?

Shave your head.

lmao you really are something else Glam

 

[DonF]

I tend to wrap my head in a kerchief and when im done gaming is dry and awesome. I have to comb it first, then just put the kerchief on top. I use both gold headsets and cloud IIs.

 

[Pif]

I just use normal headphones tilted backwards.

Kinda weird on the ears at first. Now it has become my life.

Edit: also for the same reason as you. My hair is fabulous.

 

[CREMSteve]

I normally hate earbuds but the default PS4 headset works great and doesn't bother me one bit.

 

[MANGOD]

Hipster headset. Please dont mess wi ma locks

 

[Pif]

Or just use them like Putin:

Steelseries neckband

But it´s resting on his pony tail, no?

 

[foxbeldin]

But it´s resting on his pony tail, no?

It's designed to rest on the neck, ponytail or no ponytail.

Don't let your shitty hair get in the way of glorious gaming bliss

 

[StereoVsn]

Hair drying is cutting right into my gaming time.

Seriously? You mention 3-4 hr sessions and you are worried about 5-10 min to dry your hair. dealwithit.gif!

Most better headsets are either earbuds or over the head, especially for consoles. You could get a USB DAC and use any headphones but I am not certain that supports Microphone out.

 

[Wireframe]

A hairdryer.

Dead haha.

 

[ExtinctionEvent]

Man I hear you op, I hate it when I get out of the shower, get prettied up, only to have my hair a mess right before I go out because I decided to play a bit of destiny with the head set

 

[DAHGAMING]

Life is tough for you my friend.

 

[Lightning Lord]

You wouldn´t want to mess that hair up.

Hair drying is cutting right into my gaming time.

OP is the hero I never knew we needed.

 

[VendettaRed07]

I find this hilarious and relatable but I was filled with too much shame to admit that was the motivation behind why I chose the certain types of headsets/mics I've been using since the 360

[BGBW]

Do you not dry your hair after coming out of the shower?

Buy some towels.

 

[Dead Prince]

Hair drying takes less than 5 minutes.

not unless you have luxuriously long hair that needs TLC.

 

[johancruijff]

i hear you op

also blow drying doesn't help for prolonged sessions

 

[stray_moogle]

This is a legit problem that is not easily addressed. It takes 1-2h for my hair to dry and hair drying is not my thing (makes my hair way more curly than usual).

No solutions to propose though OP. It's the decisions we make in life breh. Play without headphones for an hour maybe?

 

[Nev]

Looking for a tag that will be funny under my username.

 

[Thorrgal]

Not really. leaving it to air dry is the healthiest thing for your hair.


OP could try bone conduction headphones like those by AfterShokz. I have no idea if they are actually any good though.

Exactly. Plus if he doesn't live alone he may need to use headphones so he doesn't bother his wife/partner and daughter/sons, or if he plays MP in a group.

I feel you OP, had long hair for decades.

I used push to talk but is not a solution for consoles. Sry I can't help :/

 

[BumRush]

OP, you're amazing. I can't offer any recommendations except, maybe shower AFTER your videogame sessions?

 

[Equanimity]

Already 39, no time to waste.

Time on your hair is a time well spent.

Or just use them like Putin:

That's funny.

not unless you have luxuriously long hair that needs TLC.

Yeah, that's true.

[Shifty]

Hair drying is cutting right into my gaming time.

As an Oculus user, I sympathise. Pre and post gaming maintenance of any sort is a right pain.

Seriously though your requirements are pretty specific. I second the "whatever headphones you want plus a modmic" approach if it's PS4-compatible, by far the best experience I've had headset-wise.

Or just use them like Putin:

That fake beard ain't foolin' nobody Vlad.

ROFL, I feel like this is me, but I would have never made this thread here, lol.

Watch the hair man!

 

[lemon__fresh]

Are you trying to impress someone with your hair whilst playing games at home? If not, just fix up your hair when you're done playing games...

 

[JP]

What about the Sennheiser OMG-750s For Gamers With Hair, have you thought about those?

 

[autoduelist]

1) Buy any nice headphones you like that have a removable cord.


2) Buy a V-Moda boommic and use that [it is a new cord with a fantastic mic and volume control].

This is what I'll probably do.

Thanks!

 

[CloudStrife_ca]

Maybe the Splatoon 2 headset works with PS4? With the added benefit of looking really fresh.

If you can find one... still looking since Splatoon 2 came out

 

[Schnauzer]

I use and love my SteelSeries Siberia Neckband Gaming Headset.

I liked it so much I bought a couple. Great for when your working on skype, etc, but also have big presentations too.

Never use a hair dryer, if you care about looking young and good....these comments.

 

[eloxx]

http://degausslabs.com/earphones/howl those earbuds are fuckin amazing

Wow, these really look amazing. Just bought a pair. Hope these work well with the PS4. If not their gonna be my new Android headset.

Imagine if these were heated, like those rice-pillows you use for a sore neck. It would be the best product.

 

[GermanZepp]

so fabulous..
