better have something better than sony's garbage vss.
Why new camera? For what?
Virtual surround is such an awful thing I'm surprised people still fall for it.
It is? Should I turn it off on my Gold?
it sounds bad on the golds. its not necessarily bad in general. but if it doesn't bother you... :shrugs:
I'm not the audiophile but I actually like the way vss sounds on the Golds (as opposed to off). It tries to give the sound more air/space.
I hope these are good.

Actually, I'm not even sure if it's on.
It's on whatever is the default setting.
Infamous Second Son present. Use it, love it.to be it kills the bass completely. it just sounds very hollow to me.
Turtle beach elite 800's, Astro A50's or Sony platinum?

Ah shit. Forgot about the new A50's. What kind of improvements can we expect? No websites seem to have any comparisons.don't buy anything now. wait for the new A50s and these Sonys to see how they are.
Yep. Pro has optical though!I'm not sure those other 2 will work on the new ps4 slim. I thought they connect to the (RIP) optical port.

Astro has updated its A50 gaming headset. Aesthetically, the latest version looks very similar to the last. The main difference between the two is that the A50 comes with mod kits ($50 each), allowing you to switch out core pieces of the headset. Astro said it also took everything it learned from last years A40 TR launch and applied it to the new A50, meaning both now share the same digital platform.
The A50 works with Astro's Command Center software, so you can adjust inputs, outputs, noise gate, side tone, microphone levels, chat audio, Aux channels, custom EQ profiles, and more. The headset comes with three preloaded EQ settings to boot. Also, not only does the A50 have a fully customisable audio experience, but it has a new wireless charging base. It acts as both a display stand and charging dock for the headset.
$159 US? They better be incredible for that price.
If its the same old 40mm drivers and proprietary 7.1 virtualization, there's no way I would pay that much.
It would need to have larger drivers, DTS headphone X and/or dolby 7.1, and a quality mic. It will probably just end up being a "new" gold wireless.

the only thing broken on my golds is the sideplate. is there anyway to replace that?
Very excited about this.
I'm constantly surprised by how good the Gold's sound for the price. They compete (somewhat) with headphones triple their price and they're wireless.
the hinges look a little better from this side shot

Looks less comfy than the "Gold" headset.
Hopefully the build quality is better.
I bought my Golds around the time Trials Fusion came out and they've been awesome. The hinges are fine on mine, but I know a lot of people have had theirs crack.
I'd possibly be in for an improved version of the Golds, but these are 3x the price of the Gold in Australia... So they'd have to be pretty special, or on a hell of a sale for me to bite while my Golds are still good.
Platinum Headset launches in Japan on November 10th for 180,000 yen.
Grab them just above that point and they should be fine.
You should, I had to glue my Pulse and bought a Gold and I still prefer the Pulse specially since it has better range (I use the Pulse when I clean my apartment, with Gold I can barely get apart from my PS4).Hopefully this thing holds more than 1 preset. That is very annoying about the golds. Maybe I should gorilla glue my pulse elites.
