All said, though, it’s hard to find a better value headset that’s this easy to use and sounds this good overall. Those qualities definitely exist at a higher price, but if you’re looking for something you can set up without a fuss, Platinum is a gamer’s best friend. Driven by data, run by a passionate team of engineers, testers, technical writers, developers, and more. However, that low profile approach really hurts the mic performance, and it makes the buttons all feel pretty similar, so feeling around for them gets a little frustrating. If you want something geared more towards extended voice chat sessions, even a wired headset like the HyperX Cloud Alpha or the Fnatic React would probably be better. Really anything with an attached boom microphone will do better than this. If you’re in the market for something with slightly more battery life, headsets like the SteelSeries Arctis 7, HyperX Cloud Flight S, and Razer Thresher Ultimate are all great wireless options, albeit at increasingly higher prices. The mic could be a bit better with my friends saying I was a bit tinny and thin sounding, but the Kaira Pros do benefit from the top line of Razer's tech elsewhere. You'll find new 50mm TriForce Titanium drivers behind each cup, Razer Chroma logo accents on each side, and plenty of controls spanning each side as well. Of course, you're also getting that dual Bluetooth connectivity as well.The Gold Headset has simulated 7.1-channel surround sound when connected to a PS4. Since it has only two drivers (one for each ear), the simulated surround effect won't give you particularly good directional imaging, and won't provide much of a tactical advantage. However, the mixing used to produce the effect is very good at making games sound much better than stereo mixes, producing the illusion of a wider soundstage even when you can't pinpoint the sources of those sounds. I’ve seen that the there are replacement dongles, ie Cechya-0082, but will this work with the 2018 version of the Playstation Gold 7.1 headset? The metal, plastic and pleather coalesce into a comfortable –if a bit obtuse – pair of cans. Performance You prioritize comfort: These larger cups are perfect for those looking for a headset that can remain comfortable over the course of a longer session.

Features: Of course, this being a cheaper headset, you're not getting the same feature list as you would something a little more sophisticated. This is a wired headset with no 2.4GHz or Bluetooth connectivity - but that also means you won't be weighed down by such tech (or a battery for that matter). The detachable cable can instantly hook you up to pretty much anything (sorry iPhone users) as well. Elsewhere you'll still find a decent ClearCast Gen 2 microphone and an everyday set of controls on the side as well. Fine-tune your audio set-up for each of your games and take advantage of a selection of developer-created audio modes for specific PS4 titles. Remember that SteelSeries Arctis audio quality we all know and love? How about that, but better. And bassier. SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro WirelessAudio: We've found SteelSeries' audio compelling for some time now, but the Arctis Nova Pros blow previous generations out the water. Not only is there an excellent balance across the soundstage here, but the brand has also added some extra oomph to the lower ranges - something we noted was missing in predecessors. That, plus some excellent directional cue handling, meant we were enjoying competitive shooters and solo adventures alike. PS4 gold headset is a great collection as a gaming tool. Especially since Sony declared it’d be compatible with the PS5 as well. Music to our ears! With respect to the USB replacement adapter you recommended -- do I need to plug the into the mic port of the controller to use it with the Sony Playstation Gold Headset 2018 -- or will this work just like the now lost original USB dongle?

Charge the battery by connecting the headset to a supported USB device such as a PS5 console or PS4 console. The status indicator changes behavior while the battery is charging. All of the controls are comfortably located on the left earpiece, including the power switch that also lets you swap between two customizable audio profiles (using the PlayStation Headset Companion app on the PlayStation Store). Audio: With rich, balanced audio and plenty of power behind each driver, this is a looker to begin with. However, we found that same quality transferred across PS4 and Xbox just as well. That means you won't have to sacrifice when switching between systems in a multi-console setup. Not only that, but the performance of the Dolby surround sound was just as pinpoint accurate on each device as well.
