Customer Ratings & Reviews

Comfortable, lightweight and bonus no wires. Can be plugged into controller if you want to but I prefer the wireless set up. Has a mute button and easy touch control for mute function.

Great sound, battery life is pretty decent at 6 to 8 hours. The sound quality is amazing, allowing me to hear both the game and anyone with whom you're partying chatting with. I would have liked to use this on other devices; however, it does bring a 3.5 mil jack cord to use as a standalone jack-in to controllers or other devices. Volume, controlling it and mute all work well. The color is solid as well. Highly recommend it if you like the wireless option. I will say the distance is a bit lackluster if you're going into another room but it might be expected with wireless options.

This headset is lightweight and the mic built into the ear piece. There is nothing sticking out. Its comfortable and sounds great. Alot of buttons to get used to but its awesome!

I've been reviewing and comparing for couple of months now, Steelseries headsets came close but couldn't match the sound quality, wireless option, price and most importantly, comfort.

The main reason I purchased these headphones was for use with my PSVR. (If you have the means to get one I recommend it as they are a lot of fun) The standard earbuds that come with the headset were decent but I wanted something better and easier to share between people. While these are not the best headphones I've ever had, which I knew going in, I decided to purchase them because they were designed to fit well the PSVR. The main difference I noticed between the headphones and earbuds was that instead of just feeling like I'm in a world, I felt like that world actually existed around me. Simply put, the sound was fuller and clearer. Not to mention that unlike the earbuds, I didn't need to worry about adjusting them during more active game sessions. Also the build quality is rather decent. I never felt like I was ever going to accidentally break them in the few months I've been using them now. As for non-VR games, the sound quality is pretty good. You have the option to activate or deactivate the Virtual Surround Sound function at the press of a button on the headset. There are also a few games that have a preset audio option available, along with a few preset audio options. You can choose to make your own custom audio mix as well, although it is rather limited. You have the option to save a second audio option to the headset which you can switch at any time on the headset itself. For the most part, the headset fits comfortably but is just slightly too tight for long game sessions. Though I blame that on my large head. My biggest gripe with the headset would be its battery life. It lasts around 8hrs, which isn't that bad all by itself but when combined with needing to charge your controller after long game sessions you might run into a problem depending on your set up. Of course you have the option to use a wired connection but only stereo audio will be available when doing so. While the VSS gives a good simulated surround sound it somehow manages to make the headset lose a lot of its base. If base is important to you then you will likely either have to listen in stereo mode or find another headset. One other complaint I have is that the bluetooth function is only available through a USB dongle that comes with the headset. This means that not only do you use up an extra USB slot on your PS4 but it limits what devices the headset is compatible with. I cannot share an opinion on the quality of the microphone as I've not had an opportunity to properly test it out. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the Sony Gold headset and am happy with the extra life they bring out of my PSVR. As for standard gaming with them, they could be better but these will work fine for most people. 4 out of 5 stars

Good value for the price. Comfortable, good sound. Does take some time to get used to working the balance of chat to sound.

Clear and light wieght. Mobility is a plus since they are wireless. The change last for a long time and the mic is clear when speaking. Sound canceling is very good.

The new Sony Gold Wireless Stereo Headset sounds great. The options and modes for various games through the in-system app are stellar. But it's a little bit of a bummer that these aren't Bluetooth. Having to connect a USB dongle to the system seems odd in 2019, and it means that without using the included stereo mini cable, the headset isn't usable on your other devices. Also, having to connect the headset to the PSVR physically makes no sense to me. That being said, they sound great and they hold a decent charge, so for standard use with the PS4, they're a good option if you've got the USB slot to spare.

I just upgraded my old headset to this and it's beyond amazing. The sound is fantastic, it's very comfortable and it holds good on being charged for a while. No complaints.

I got these to enhance my gaming experience during the Quarantine. I’m really happy with these days , battery life lasts a long time and the different sound features really elevate your gaming experience to the next level. Definitely recommend these headphones because theirs no need for wired headphones anymore. All wired headphones break or stop working in a short amount of time. Won’t have to worry about that anymore with wireless Headphones! Must get this if you play video games often.

These headsets are nice, good quality, great sound and good comfort and price is good, I recommend this headset

Before these I had the Pulse Elite headsets. Love them but they broke after a year and a half. The martial was rather cheap. These look and feel more sturdy. It doesn’t put pressure on my head like the Pulse Elites. The sound is crisp and clean. On Days Gone I can hear the frog in the title screen. I love everything about these headsets. But one thing. You can only use two EQ settings and one can’t be changed which really sucks. With the Pulse you had up to 5. But other then that I highly recommend the Sony Gold Headset.

Good headphones that sound great and did not realize what I was missing..... On sale the value is good but full price I would have to compare more. The fit is OK as I wear glasses and prolonged wear, an hour, and it starts irritate my ear area. Combination of glasses and ear cup not being a little larger to really fit comfortably over the ear seems to be the issue. Good battery life and great surround sound. Has mic monitoring and a volume control to mix chat vs game sounds.

I have owned the gold series for years, but this new one is the best yet. They have made improvements all over the place. The weight of the headset is light as a feather, which makes wearing for long periods much more comfortable. The sound is great, you can hear subtle sounds with clarity and without straining to hear them. it also brings games to life with its 3D sound. The app for customizing them just makes them even better sounding.

Great wireless headset, has lots of adjust settings on the set itself, good battery life and great sound quality perfect match for a PS4

Works great, excellent sound quality and the battery lasts long. Very comfortable as well. Definitely recommend!

Got these on sale, needed a second set for the PS4 in our guest room. They fit nice, sound great, and best of all no wires!

I owned the original Gold Headset and like many users, the hinges broke after a year or two of careful use. Sony must've heard the complaints because a redesign was sorely needed. Enter the (New) Gold Wireless headset. The design of the headset is much improved over the original with better materials so it's a lot more comfortable to wear and since there are no more hinges, the chanches of it breaking like the old one are slim. The sound quality is also improved since it uses the same 50mm driver as the Platinum's. I am by no means an audiophile but I do notice an improvement. On the downside, the audio tends to cut out at times while gaming. I don't know if it's caused by signal interference or what but it's definitely an annoying issue. Overall, it is a great headset for gaming and the redesign was a welcomed improvement. If it didn't have the issue of the audio cutting out, I would've rated it 5 stars.

Awesome sound quality, good battery life and a comfortable headset. What more could you ask for?

Glad I purchased these. Of course PlayStation 4 requires you to use one of their wireless headset to play audio wirelessly through the PS4. I was reluctant to purchase yet ANOTHER set of headphones but these are really great. Sound is great and are super comfortable. Only small small complaint is the functionality of some of the buttons on the headset can be confusing to get used to. Other than that highly recommend.
