Sony - Rose Gold Edition Wireless 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound Gaming Headset for PlayStation 4/PlayStation VR - Rose Gold

Previously, I had the old Gold headset, which was great but had structural issues. After that, I got a Steelseries which was a total disappointment and returned it that same day. I decided to buy this New Gold PS4 headset, and I will never deviate again. Not only is the sound superior due to virtual surround sound, but you can also adjust between sound/chat levels. Sony greatly improved the structure on this model, so I have zero issues with it. Hands down the best non-VR gaming headset for PS4 (get the Platinum headset if you play a lot of VR).

This wireless headset contains great audio without sacrificing battery life.

I decided it was finally time to replace my 7-year-old PS3 Sony Wireless Headset. Its battery life had dwindled down to almost nothing and the leather material on the ear cups had completely flaked off. As a gamer and tech enthusiast, I've stayed current on the headset market. I have experienced my friend's PS4 Gold headset and PS4 Platinum headset; both of which had issues with hinges breaking, suffered from connectivity problems, and weren't an upgrade in regards to comfort. Disappointingly I couldn't justify switching from my PS3 set without more value, or at least fewer problems. I turned to the non-Sony world of headsets which included Astro, Razer, HyperX, and SteelSeries. All models from $100-$300 were compared and considered. While there are a lot of great headsets out there, each seemed to have it's own quirks and negatives that led to them being dropped from the list. (The ones with great battery life lacked surround simulation, the most comfortable sets had poor mic quality, the ones with the best audio only offered full surround sound on PC, some that almost seemed perfect required an external audio module that utilized unique software and drivers that were plagued with failed updates and a lack of support, etc). While I was content with the performance and features of the PS4 Gold/Platinum that carried over from the PS3 ones, I was hesitant because of the flimsy construction. All of the Gold headsets I ever used had broken hinges, so they were an absolute no. Just when I was getting ready to purchase the Platinum model, a pre-order popped up for this "New Gold" version. Since they both had the 50mm audio drivers that I was after, it seemed like the only difference was that the Platinum has true 3D audio (only Uncharted 4 and Horizon Dawn?) and the New Gold only has simulated surround, which has always been amazing. My headset never leaves the gaming room so there was no need for the collapsing feature. The New Gold eliminated the hinge and only came in a fixed construction, which seemed perfect for my use. I eagerly picked them up from the store and started unboxing right away. As I pulled them out, my first impression was that they are LIGHT! The weight drop from the PS3 to PS4 Gold/Platinum was minor compared to this New Gold version. My second observation was that the headband was completely covered in the same leather material as the ear cups. At first I was nervous since the primary reason for replacing my previous set was because of this material deteriorating. But I reminded myself that it didn't start until after 5 years and that my friend's Gold/Platinum sets weren't yet having those issues. I put them on my head and quickly realized that Sony finally achieved the right balance of secure and firm fitment while being extremely light and comfortable. One of the main issues with the Platinum headset is how uncomfortable the headband shape and materials are for extended periods of gaming. This New Gold just fits and feels perfect. The button layout was intuitive and the tactile sense felt great. It took all of about 2 seconds to get it set up, which is expected from these Sony headsets. My core games are Overwatch and Gran Turismo Sport, which both sounded absolutely amazing. My team confirmed the mic quality was perfect. I'd say this New Gold headset is the best Sony has ever released. And compared to the rest of the market, it's the best all-around PS4 headset for under $300. I'm very happy with my purchase, no regrets or buyer's remorse, and recommend them to anyone considering!

For the price while on sale getting 13% off the regular price they set connect very quickly for a wireless unit that headphones are very comfortable and they do not agitate or hurt your ears I use them strictly for PlayStation 4 and even though while playing when my wife Asks a question I can still hear if she’s asking a question there is zero distortion and especially if you’re handicap or disabled I highly recommend this headset for gaming and of course this is just my opinion based upon how well this at work for me I definitely would recommend

These were for my daughter. For the price, I think these are at the top. Bose may be better, but you also have the price. These also has a hidden mic, that according to my daughter improves her voice when she is speaking by adding clarity and noise suppression. Her friends have commented that these are clear. She said the sound is great. I also like the quality of Sony products and this item is no different. It has great quality and construction. Other head phones seems to break easily in the head band area or where the band connect to the earpieces. This headphone does not appear to suffer that design issue.

I wasn’t sure about what headset to buy and then I started to know more about the Gold Wireless Sony, with this headset you hear all everything clear and it’s comfy. very easy to install.

Generally I love the headset. The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 is because the mic is a little bad. It’s not as good of a mic as boom mic. PlayStation just add a boom mic to it!!! The sound quality is really good last 8-10 hours not bad for me and everything is great except for the mic. So I would buy this mic because it’s worth the bad mic but it’s stand able my friends here me clear it’s just not the best.

I mostly bought this to get a good headset to use with my PSVR, which this was designed to fit around. But I was also excited to have a wireless surround sound headset so I could play big games like god of war in the evening without disturbing my wife and child during evening hours. Sadly this headset is not what I had hoped it would be. I sit roughly 10 feet away from my PS4 and there are no obstructions to block the signal. Yet my headset would often lose the connection and I would hear nothing for 10-30 seconds before it would reestablish the connection. I wouldn’t mind if this happened infrequently but it happens several times each hour. It’s very disappointing to be listening to some cut scene only to have the audio blank out for 30 seconds and miss a key part of some conversation. So ultimately I ended up returning these. I wanted to love them and have them be a solution to my late night gaming without sacrificing audio fidelity but too many connection drops keep this one from being something I can recommend. Buy it for wired gameplay only as wireless is just spotty at best.
