Didn't see posted.

All the features of the Gold Wireless headset, but it's wired and a bit cheaper.

I’m also excited to introduce the newest member of our headset lineup — the Silver Wired Stereo Headset for PS4 and PS3. This headset is packed with features — all for just $69.99 (MSRP).

Immersive 7.1 virtual surround sound
Custom audio modes created by developers specifically for PlayStation games
Retractable boom mic for voice chat while playing online
Breathable ear cushions and a lightweight design for hours of gameplay
In-line volume and mic controls

Sorry if old.

 

[BeforeU]

USB? and looks ugly.

 

[Jigolo]

Old

 

[Ponn]

That' interesting, id buy it. The ear cushions might be better for me because my ears are sensitive and i loathe the battery life on wireless headsets. They are horrible for my weekend play sessions.

 

[Chris_C]

Not for me, I'll probably get the new wireless ones they released recently when I'm able. Woke up a couple of days ago and noticed my Pulse elites had began to suffer the dreaded crack. It's been almost a year and a half since I got them, I thought I was out of the woods. I was not.

 

[boredandlazy]

USB? and looks ugly.

Well how else were wired can's going to be connected? Plugging them into the optical would require a decoding device and a power source.

 

[BadWolf]

They keep releasing new one's but my 2+ year old original wireless PS headset still looks and works good as new lol.

 

[Dead Prince]

it's the spiderman crotch on your ear.

 

[BloodMoney]

and looks ugly.

does it?

 

[PaulKersey]

Was thinking about it until I learned I'd need to use the usb plug to get all of the features. Sticking with my elites.

 

[SolsticeZero]

Well how else were wired can's going to be connected? Plugging them into the optical would require a decoding device and a power source.

I expected it to have a 3.5mm jack, just like how you wire the gold headset to your DS4.

 

[Piccoro]

I expected it to have a 3.5mm jack, just like how you wire the gold headset to your DS4.

You need USB to plug it into the PS3, though.

 

[THRILLH0]

Wouldn't it plug into the controller?

 

[Bad_Boy]

Looks good. Still waiting for platinum though...

Edit: these look like they do have a 3.5mm jack that plugs into the volume control section of the cord.

 

[boredandlazy]

Good point. Although I'm sure the inline controls wouldn't work that way. Plus you don't get the 7.1 virtual surround from the controller.
Maybe Sony should have put a 3.5mm jack on these as well so people have the option?

 

[NeoRausch]

So wait...
When I use it with the PS4 I can connect it to the controller?

Edit
Looks like it doesn't. Eh.

 

[dralla]

Game audio through the DS4 is very poor quality. USB is a much better choice.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Im good with my pulses thanks.

 

[ekgrey]

well, there's the 3.5mm jack on the controller.

 

[Oppo]

what? how so?

 

[wapplew]

I'll wait for platinum version, thanks.

 

[SerTapTap]

Gross, especially at that price. You can regularly get the superior Golds at the same price or $10 more.

 

[cnorwood]

$70? Im sure you can get the black wireless ones for the same price if you look a little

 

[Yoday]

So wait...
When I use it with the PS4 I can connect it to the controller?

Edit

It says in the discription that you can connect it to the Vita with the 3.5mm jack. The in line controls look like they split apart.

 

[alterno69]

what? how so?

It is poor compared to what you can get straight from the console for sure. I used it for months with a wired headset before i got my Gold and it's good but i'm guessing USB is better, i bet you still can plug these to the controller anyway.

 

[Fermbiz]

I wonder if it works on PC...

 

[Piccoro]

I wonder if it works on PC...

It does.

 

[The Elite]

I'll wait for platinum version, thanks.

Yeah, I'm really curious what the Platinum will end up being.

 

[Revolutionary]

Im good with my pulses thanks.

But the Pulses aren't even getting new profiles. Destiny profile is exclusive to Gold and Silver.

 

[10k]

Not had but I just bought the white gold headset and can't go back to wired anymore lol.

 

[Piccoro]

Yeah, I'm really curious what the Platinum will end up being.

What if they make a Bronze one? lol

But the Pulses aren't even getting new profiles. Destiny profile is exclusive to Gold and Silver.

They said on the blog that they are working to bring the Destiny profile to the Pulse. Don't know if its BS though...

 

[Bill Rizer]

Not really a fan of these "custom" gaming 'phones and their virtual surround gimmick. They're generally way overpriced and lacking in sound quality itself, and what is worse in this case they're proprietary for one system. There are headphones costing half of these that blow them away completely simply by connecting them to the tv jack.

 

[PAULINK]

does it?

the padding that they use for the earphones looks really weird.

I suppose it's nice to have options.

 

[Tetranet]

Hmm, so like a lite version of the other wireless headset.

Those headphones don't have voice chat, unfortunately...

Meh.


I have ears, I can adjust the sound mix in options to my own liking.


I dont think ive even redownloaded the headset companion app since I upgraded my HDD.

This. Really hoping a platinum edition connects via bluetooth.

Just plug one of these in your DS4.

Superior audio and superior mic.

Well for the battery life, if you don't mind wired just get a long USB cable for sessions that go longer than the battery lasts wireless.

I hate wires, but bought a 15ft micro usb cable off amazon (got a 2 pack for $10 or so) for the rare times I play for more than 5-6 hours. Seems better to go that route and be able to play wirelessly most of the time, vs. hassling with a wire all the time.

 

[dralla]

what? how so?

Have you tried it? It sounds bad. The DS4 is simply not capable of outputting high quality audio. I can't remember the exact specs but it's not great.

 

[RiverBed]

it's the spiderman crotch on your ear.

How sad is it to live your mind...

 

[bigboss370]

i'd buy one, dont have a problem with wired

Well, it's from September 8th so...of course "it's old".

But yeah. It's basically a wired/smaller version of the Gold Headset.
