Today, even as a grown-up (and an avid gamer who likes to play Battlefield 1), I own a Sony PS4 and the fervor for playing games has become an annoyance to my folks when they tolerate me with sounds of digital gunfire and rattling booms throughout the house. For me, it’s a matter of pride as I am a gamer and I come with the genes to go on playing like a machine for hours.
And Sony has not left any stone unturned with the PS4 and proves to be the worthy successor to the PlayStation 3 and the best 8th generation gaming console available in the market today. Personally, I am in love with the graphics until recently I had an amazing experience with sound in my new wireless headset “the Astro A50 after a friend recommended it to me. From then on, it has been a real treat for my auditory senses along with my visual indulgence. With the right audio stimulation, every gamer can be much more involved in a game and this had led me to research some good quality wireless headsets in the market capable of providing a fascinating and complete gaming experience. Here are a few of my favorites:
The great-sounding Sony PlayStation Gold Stereo Wireless Headset
To begin with, Sony’s PlayStation Gold Wireless Stereo Headset is the basic and entry-level headset that you can add to your gaming console at a reasonable budget. Keeping the price to quality ratio in mind, PlayStation Gold Wireless Stereo Headset provides simulated 7.1 surround sound, programmable sound profiles, cross-platform support, and a rechargeable battery. Though it is not the best wireless headset available in the market, this is definitely a device, to begin with.
The virtual surround sound headphone is simple with a delightful lining of bright blue on the inside of the headband. Though it is sturdy enough for regular use, the overall build utilizes thin, lightweight plastic, faux-leather for the headband and earcups and the hinges for folding the earcups inward are loose and noticeably weak.
During long-term gaming sessions, the earcup padding feels breathable and the around-the-ear design is comfortable to wear. Noise tends to bleed in and out of the headset so it is not recommended for loud environments. All-important sound controls like volume, mute, game audio and chat balance, surround sound toggle, and a sound profile switch are built directly into the headset.
To connect to a PS4, the set uses a USB dongle to link the headset and the console. It has a micro USB port for charging and syncing the headset not only to the console but to a PC or Mac as well and the mic feels better with the option of noise cancellation. The PC and Mac experience is incredible and it does not disappoint with the awesome sound output.
Sony PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headsets with 7.1 surround sound
This is the amped-up version of the Sony PlayStation Gold Wireless Stereo Headset. This bad boy is packed with all the goodies that its predecessor lacked; besides the minor style change, Sony’s Platinum headsets are the first to offer 3D surround sound with 7.1 virtual surround-sound.
The headphones fold up neatly and weigh only 318.2 g, which makes it perfect for carrying around. It comes with a mix of plastic, metal, and rubber and the earpads themselves are made from a comfortable pleather material that fits snug on your head. The left ear cup houses two volume controls ”one for media, one for a chat ” an On/Off switch with two possible “on” configurations, a mute button for the mic, a micro USB port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The right ear cup houses only a switch to turn surround sound on and off.
The ear cushions have a slight angle that helps to fit comfortably over the ears without coming in contact with the speaker making the headset comfortable to wear for long periods. With a single-player game on a PS4 with traditional stereo sound, the Platinum sounds wonderful. The headset has a perfect balance between playing music and dealing with voice work and handles directional sound very well. It can be combined with streaming movies and TV as well and comes surprisingly packed with a battery-life claim of 12 to 14-hour mark.
The PlayStation Platinum headset supports a mode called “3D Audio”, which in addition to the 7.1 surround sound manages to rip give you an authentic feel of a real-life situation and puts you into the action mode in the most realistic way. What this means is just like 3D visuals, you can now get a real feel of what it feels like to be in that situation while playing games that has great graphics and interactive features.
This gaming headset can be operated at a distance of 19-32ft (6-10m) meters from the transmitter. It comes with a built-in high volume lithium battery and can be used for 10 hours. Another feature of this headset is the 7.1 virtual surround sound effects and the headset can be adjusted separately to chat and background sound in real-time. The sphere design of microsize convex lens sticks to the input terminal of an optical fiber, which minimizes the distortion caused by connection error and the Optical Fiber Transmission makes the light beam highly focused reducing the reflection of a light beam and internal wall of optical fiber thereby shortening the transmission travel.
The earcups are breathable and fit nicely around the ear giving a good noise cancellation effect and make spy/war games enjoyable by bringing in the best quality sound like the rattling of digital gunfire, explosion, etc. clearly in your ear.
So if you are looking for a booming and earth-shaking experience then HUHD Fiber-Optical 2.4 GHz Stereo Gaming Wireless Headset is the one that you must be looking for. With the virtual surround sound, this gaming accessory is mind-blowing and truly detailed in audio delivery. Not to forget the comfortable pads on the headband also keeps your ears from warming up and the head from feeling any discomfort.
