Anyone have a pair of these? Groupon is selling them for $70 and I'm thinking about coppin a pair

Any thoughts on how it sounds? Build quality? Etc.

Can't be worse than the dongle headphone and mic they packaged with the PS4, that's for sure.

 

[CorySchmitz]

I would say definitely grab them for that price. I like mine a lot. They're comfy & they sound nice.

 

[Fracas]

I wouldn't pay more than $30 for a stereo headset. Maybe that's just me though.

I own them and love them. Use them on my XB1 and PS4.

I have the Pulse Elites, if they sound anything like those then I would say it's worth it.

Wait, the Gold headphones are stereo?? This whole time I thought they were surround headphones.

 

[Mattamus-Prime]

Excellent. I actually use them for everything, (since they come with a standard audio cable) like my Vita, 3DS, etc since they are so comfortable.

Wait, the Gold headphones are stereo?? This whole time I thought they were surround headphones.

They use Virtual Surround Sound on PS3/PS4. Every other device it's regular stereo.

I just got them last week and I LOVE them. Best headset I've used. I lost my Pulse Elites and bought these. Battery isn't the best, but I can keep it plugged in with a long USB cable.

They have a virtual surround sound option for PS4 games, I believe.

They are Surround, Virtual surround sound.

I bought mine when they came out for $100 and I'm very happy with them, definitely a good deal at $70. Sound is good and they're super comfy, like a couple pillows covering my ears. I just recently used the mic function, while playing Destiny, which worked really well too.

 

[PAULINK]

They are ok, the mic quality for pc is terrible though. I use them for my job.

They are Virtual 7.1 Surround Sound for PS3/PS4. Every other device you use them for it's stereo.

 

[gotstrangepowers]

If you care, there's hardly any bass.

So the mic and every thing work for the XB1? I haven't tried them yet but I hate the stock headset, would much rather use the golds. I've got the headset adapter, too.

Also OP, yes they are worth it.

Oh thanks for this!

They are Surround, Virtual surround sound.

In wolfenstein NO on the ps4 i noticed the the main character would have a muffled voice and with a slight echo. i turned off the virtual surround and it fixed it. Generally i don't have any issues with them tho. Played Destiny and had tons of fun, clear audio feedback, and talking with my brother was great.

 

[Tetranet]

I have them and they're fairly decent all around.

Very good build quality
Isolation (sound inside, noise outside)
Easy controls
Good Battery
Signal/Reception is flawless for several meters
Microphone is great
Very comfortable design & pleasing too


Sound I'd say is good. This is quite hard to quantify, though. Moderate quality would be most appropriate.

The Virtual Surround (which you can turn off) can be really cool for some games, especially TLoU, but off-putting in games with a lot of music like Ni No Kuni.

They are well worth it even at their original price.


Something else I haven't confirmed is that you can use... voice commands with the PS4. Not sure if that's true.

 

[dallow_bg]

I ordered this from Newegg a day or two ago for $55 shipped. (on sale for $70, and buying with Newegg app and Google Wallet gave $15 coupon).

Going to use them in the interim until I get the headphones I've been saving up for.

 

[TwoDurans]

I absolutely love mine. I use them on my Vita and even iPod.

Everyone I've talked to has said that I come through really clear when I talk and the battery life is pretty good (like 6 hours per charge)

Voice commands work. And yeah, what everyone else said. Well worth it.

 

[ComputerMKII]

I'm waiting for the White version, around Destiny's release day.

 

[Raptor]

This headset is really good even for movies, Netflix 5.1 works like a charm.

 

[TheBoss1]

Anyone know about this one?

Do those work with the PS4?

Yup. I use the golds when I use my XB1. Friends have said they hear me loud and clear.

 

[TheBoss1]

Do those work with the PS4?

Probably not, but I can always plug it in to the controller. It comes with an aux cord.

Yeah, with the adapter, the headphones work awesome. Really nice time using them with Titanfall.

I wish I could use my Icemat's on my PS4.
