I believe all sony headsets work for both ps3 and ps4. This should be the same.
I just wrapped black electrical tape around each side a few times.
I know someone else here got the metal band out of another pair of cheap headphones and reinforced it that way.

I'm curious about whether these will fit over the PSVR head strap any better than the Golds.
As an aside, I've had my Golds for 2 years and the hinges never broke (or anything else on them).

Might get these just for convenience sake, I have my ATH M50X for everything else.
I was told that they were made with PSVR in mind but take that with a grain of salt.
I think I'm going to bite. I need a new set and 3D audio sounds like fun in Uncharted 4(which I still haven't played). If they crack, I'll give up on headsets because my head is obviously too big or something.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
I have been using these:
For 6 years now and they don't have any significant damage outside the ear pads starting to deteriorate so either I got lucky having a good quality one or I know how to properly treat and handle my headsets.
The advent of 3D Audio (on PS4 at least) sounds like a step forward in the right direction so I guess I can finally upgrade my current headset for the Platinum Headset.

Pads starting to deteriorate after six years? My elite's pads, of the same material, became a flaky mess after a year
It ended up being why I stopped using it. I could sort of fix the cracks, but couldn't find find replacement pads anywhere.

These look like the sony xtra bass bluetooth headphones. Does anyone know why the ps4 doesn't do bluetooth audio to headphones

IIRC it's because the PS4 controllers are connecting through Bluetooth. I could be wrong though.
I find it interesting Days Gone is listed as a title that will support 3D audio along with MLB and The Lost Legacy.. anyone else think that hints to a 2017 release ? That, or support for it is very, very limited.
I think Days Gone has been in development for a while so late 2017 wouldn't be surprising for me. Bend's last game was 2011.
I'll probably be in for a pair of these. My Golds have held up pretty well but they're starting to develop stress fractures in the band at the sides. I have treated this headset super gently since I have heard all the horror stories about it breaking. It's probably been 2 years or so at this point that I have owned them.

I've used it much more on my PC then on my PS3.same for me

I've got that pair too, still solid. Only problem I have with the ear pads is a security sticker got stuck on it once, so there's a small bit missing. I've not been gentle with them either, they're just really solid headphones. They have excellent audio quality too, they'd be perfect if it weren't for the wifi interference issues... and if they had a 3.5mm jack so I could use it with PSVR.
The virtual surround on them is garbage though, sounds more like an old stereo spatializer filter.backbreaker65

Those are the only good wireless headphones sony has released. Mine are still going strong
My 'elite' headset is in pieces from light use....smh
My solution for the Pulse, at least, is zip ties around those parts. Pretty ridiculous that 10 cents provide better support than what was there originally.
I want a new headset too, but never going to buy any of them without a serious overall of their bands and hinges.
I have a pair of Audio-Technica headphones whose build quality is superb (comparatively) which leaves me puzzled how can Sony find difficulty in making a sturdy pair themselves.
EDIT
Now that I think of it, we should start a twitter storm spamming the execs at Sony (including Shu) with photos of failing PS headsets pleading to update the build quality. Makes zero sense to put some awesome tech to shoddy fucking headbands.

Amazon says the 19th?
Gamestop has them now and a whole bunch of reviews on youtube are popping up.
The original release date was the 12th iirc.

gold for ps4 are piece of shit. audio keeps dropping every few minutes, a lot of interference, even though my ps4 is very close to my headphone. tried changing wifi channel, nothing. piece of crap.
Amazing how some people blame customers for not taking care of their Gold headset, newsflash! The build quality is shit and always has been. Unnaceptable at 100-150. I feel like I'm beating a dead horse but there is no need to defend that crap, you can get much better headphones at that price. Not to mention the sound isn't all that great either, IMHO.
Here's hoping that new ones are an improvement, seems like it's still plasticy and I'm allergic to plastic headphones. 3d sound sounds great on paper but most likely will be underwhelming like all virtual surround things have been in my oppinion. I don't like to sound negative but people should see the light and invest in to proper stereo headphones with a wide soundstage, no need for gimicks.
Can see the fact that it's an easy wireless solution for the Playstation, no getting around that.

Are any upcoming games going to support 3D audio? Uncharted 4 should be incredible though!
the first PS4 headset was not worth the price. it's a bit of a scam, the Sony PS4 headphones, if you ask me. Sony branded doesn't equal great headphones. I returned the ones I got in 2014, bought some senns on sale and a super cheap headphone amp - it was a whole universe of difference in terms of audio quality
The reviews look decent enough if you dont currently own gaming headphones. If you already have a pair, it seems like youre better off saving money.
But since i dont have a dedicated pair for my ps4, Im going to get a pair. 25 bucks off at best buy w/ visa checkout.

Best buy still shows no release date for these. Been waiting since last week for my preorder to ship.
Today I went to one gamestop and they told me it wasnt out until the 27th. Dispite their website saying it's out now. I went to another gamestop, they said they had none in stock, and a 3rd gamestop sold me one. Go figure.
