Will this be better than the hyperx cloud II as a ps4 headset because i've read reviews for it and they're all good. The only thing that bugs me is that the hyperx cloud II doesn't have volume and mic control and i have to fiddle with it in the quick menu
The Hyper X 2 has inline controls
The plats are better choice if you can look past their shortcomings and get a non-defective set.
I have the same ones too lol. But it's already worn off and i've been getting a buzzing sound and sometimes the audio just drops.I have the original stereo headset (from 2011?) would this be a decent upgrade?
So I've been loving these since I got them but have noticed a small problem with them the last few days. For some reason, I seem to have no sound coming out of the left headphone, any idea why this is and what I can do to sort it out?
Yeah, small problem was a poor choice of words lol. Anyone had any experiences with this or how I might fix it?
Question, when this headset is fully charged does the red light turn off?
Thanks for the info, they have been plugged in my PS4 for over 3 hours and still aren't fully charged, sheesh lol.Can't officially confirm, but that's what mine seems to be doing.
After a long charge the red light goes off and on the console is then fully charged (three stripes)

Nice I did the sock mod that was posted in the thread a page back. I feel allot more confident using them for long periods of time with out worrying about the pleather flaking off over time. They are actually more comfortable to wear now too.Haven't charged them with a timer but I don't think it was close to 3 hours last time I've charged them and that was on a depleted battery.
I just returned mine.
It had a buzzing noise in the right ear cup.
It's a manufacturing error. It's like a whiny coil noise. Was less when the USB was in while having it on.
Without it it was really noticeable and loud. Even over gameplay.
So if you have that problem, return it!!! I didn't order a new one. I'll wait for a price drop and wait till the acknowledge and fix it, difference with the gold wasn't much anyway I'll keep using those until then (build quality was amazing though)
If you don't believe me just Google:
"Platinum headset buzzing noise" a lot of people have the exact same problem, noise in the right ear cup, even the replacements they got, and some even got it after some usage later.
Hope they fix it......... I was really turned off especially because of my excellent experience with the gold.

Since these don't seem to work with ps3 I've been thinking of getting a Bluetooth headset to connect to my TV (KS8000). I also want to have a wireless headset to use while playing Xbox 360 too so that's why I'm thinking of going this route.
The only thing I'm wondering about is whether I'll be able to get surround sound this way if I don't get a dedicated gaming headset for ps3/Xbox 360 specifically (just get a good Bluetooth headset). Anyone have a recommendation?
I sometimes watch movies or listen to music with a bluetooth headphone from my soundbar (Sony HT-CT790) since my TV (Sony XD9305) doesn't support bluetooth headphones and there's no surround sound, the feed from my BR player is surround (DTS or Dolby depending on the BR) but just plain stereo in BT but it sounds really good (with movies at least but I suppose it will be the same with games). I use a Sony Hear On MDR100 with noise cancellation. For gaming I use my Golds with PS3 and Platinum with PS4. Anyway, I don't think BT headphones can do virtual surround. Even the MDR1000 (399) outputs only stereo.
This happens to me on occasion. I pop out the dongle and in again and then it works. Very strange.Does anyone experience a bug during rest mode? Turning on the headset doesn't seem to work, you need to restart the console (or re-plug the USB dongle).

FW 4.70 still hasn't fixed this issue for me...The last PS4 Firmware update fixed that problem for me. Now the dongle always powers on when i turn on the headset.
How is the Bass compared to the Wireless Gold Headset?
I bet 10 bucks that the band will break in 6 months.
Groupon has this for 125.99. I'm thinking about biting. Would you say it's worth it at that drop? Don't want to spend an arm and leg on a decent headset.
