If they're anything like the plats that headband will kill after an hour. That rubber band looks like it'll dig into your head or the constant pressure will give you a headache. They were so uncomfortable and I could only manage 20 minutes before they were too painful to continue wearing them. I also found that they made my ears very hot. As the name suggests, at its core this is a wireless headset, with a bundled USB dongle acting as transmitter. That transmitter only works with PS4s, PCs and Macs, but a 3.5mm audio cable in the box means that Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and smartphone gamers can also get in on the action – and also means you can use the headset as a standard pair of everyday headphones.

Pulse 3D Wireless Headset - Push Square Hardware Review: PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless Headset - Push Square

Of course, that being said, there are headsets out there that offer more pronounced surround sound –one area that we felt the Platinum’s could’ve improved upon. Footsteps and gunfire imparted a general sense of directionality, but they didn’t have the same precision on Sony’s PlayStation Platinum as we’ve heard on other headsets. Have the platinum headset which I would assume is better than the new pulse or the same but they have brought the costs down. It’s good news, then, that the core audio quality is so good – miles ahead of the competition, in fact. If you’re a PS4 gamer in need of a headset, this is the one to get, and even PC, Xbox and Switch players should seriously consider it. We’ve not heard a better alternative. Have to respectfully disagree, think they are a load of tat quite frankly. Ive barely used them, and despite that, I noticed the cloth ear plate covering are peeling off already, after being used literally a handful of times and rest of the time sitting on my headphone stand. nessisonett which Sony headset do you use? I’m thinking of upgrading my original PS4 headset. The hinges on both sides are broken 😞 They lasted for only 3 years and I’m super carefull with my kit..You want something built to last. Although it's a more affordable headset, this is reflected through its build. The construction feels cheap, so it's a case of getting what you pay for. The Platinum Wireless is an interesting mix of plastic, metal and rubber. The top band consists of two metal bars that offer a lot of rigidity and hold the headset firmly in place. Beneath the top band is a rubber strap that cradles the top of the noggin, and then all the rest is plastic. The headphones fold up neatly, perfect if you need to take them with you, and are a medium weight –not too heavy, but not so light that they feel breakable, either. If you’re looking for an exact number, the Platinum Headset weighs 318.2g.

On the debit side though, these are far from the most stylish-looking headphones we’ve ever worn. The oversized earcups and double band bridge give it a sort of monstrous quality, like they were designed for a giant’s head rather than regular people. That said, while the headphones work on mobile devices, they probably wouldn’t be the pair of cans you’d take to the gym or elsewhere and thus maybe the design won’t bother you as much as it did us.Gain a competitive edge, by pinpointing every move your enemy makes and become deeply immersed in multi-layered soundscapes, whether you’re engaged in multiplayer combat or engrossed in a single player adventure. Compared to the Platinum Wireless Headset, we found the volume to be a little lower overall, although there’s still more than enough oomph to the speakers – you’ll just need to turn the volume up a notch higher than maybe you’d expect. Unfortunately, the built-in microphones, while serviceable, are of a pretty low quality, and while they’ll get the job done for traditional in-game chat, you’re not going to want to use them for anything other than that. audio complements 7.1 surround sound to enhance its effects. Certain PlayStation 4 games fully support 3D audio, which will give you an even more breathtaking experience with sounds coming from all directions like above, behind, or below you. To anybody who bought the Arctis 7P, my son has the Arctis 1 and I thought they sounded very average and very quiet even at max volume but they are comfortable. Can any of you compare these Arctis 1 to the 7P? I’m thinking of getting the 9X but with the Arctis 1 it says they have the exact same speaker drivers from the 9X, so in theory the 9X will sound the same and will not be loud at max volume right? The current selection of EQ presets betrays the Platinum Wireless Headset's decidedly un-musical focus. The three music presets are Bass Boost, Hip Hop, and Techno, while the two movie presets are Action and Horror. The non-game-specific gaming presets are limited to only Fighting and Shooter, though in fairness those are the two most common console gaming genres that require a headset. Virtual Surround
