I want some, I tried a little bit to find the old thread and I cant.

I want a decent set to use on both my xbox and ps4. Can I do this? I've read all your comments on here and I'm jealous.

Anything up to £100?

Thanks guys :wub:

Are there any compatible with both PS4 and XBO? Normally you can get PS4/PS3/PC or XBO from what I've seen.

I'm semi interested in the Sony wireless ones as they seem to have a lot of good things written about them on here. Are these really magnificent and equally as important, are they comfortable? I got some free ones with Destiny (via Tesco) that I found uncomfortable after just a few minutes of wear.

Yes?

I don't really want to have to buy two sets.

The majority of my single player games are on the ps4. While I play most online stuff on my xbox. I spotted the official ones as everyone rates them highly on here. But then they won't work with my Xbox one. :(

I really like them, Deaths. They have decent build quality, feel good and I find them comfortable to wear. I wear glasses whilst gaming and the headset still fits well. The sound quality is excellent. I'd never previously used a headset for gaming, but I've been impressed with the Sony set.

I should say that I've not used the mic for talking online yet - but I've read that it works well.

Simple solution - sell XBO, buy the official Sony headsets and move online gaming to PS4.

How do they compare to a surround sound setup (this question isn't specifically for you, but anyone who can compare)?

Also (one for anyone with these headsets) do you always use them (i.e. they have become indispensable) or are they something that "it depends"?

Yes?

I'm an "it depends", Deaths. In the evening I wear 'em*, but in the daytime I just use the TV sound.

* When gaming. Not down the pub.

I've been tempted by the sony wireless ones for a while. How do they compare to other headphones in the price bracket though? I've got two cheap (£20) pairs from Sennheiser and Sony. The Sony ones sound better but are far less comfortable so I rarely use them. I can't really get a big surround system so a high quality set of headphones have been something I've wanted for a while but not taken the plunge.

If the headphones are wired...and I buy the stereo adapter, then surely they'd work with both consoles?

It's probably worth bearing in mind that there is a new version of the xbo controller coming out with a headphone socket. It's a TRRS socket which means it supports wired headsets.

I remember you saying that you went for the PS4 headset in another thread. Have you tried it on your Xbox One?

No problem. It's a great headset and I enjoy using it on my PC. I was just wondering if it would work on the X1.

Thanks for posting that, jawa. Hopefully this will be built into the new X1 controller so it won't be necessary but it's good to know, just in case.

At buffs demands, I'll ask here.

I've lost my dongle for my ps4 headphones. What can I do? :(

Do a better job of looking for it! I hate to ask, but when did you last see it?

Had a quick look for you on PS UK support site and there isn't a option for PS4 wireless headset. Had a look on eBay/Amazon too, and while I found a replacement dongle it was for the PS Pulse Elite, so may/may not work, but would set you back £38.

Do you know anyone with the PS Pulse Elite headset?

Don't know anyone else that has a ps4 or headsets. It would have gone in the box because I packed it all up. I don't know where it could have gone. It went from my moms, to my car, to my gf's room. And then I unpacked it. :x

:(

Pulse Elite is the official PS3 headset, I am assuming the wireless dongle would work from that.

Did you see it when you unpacked PS4? Did you chuck the boxes you used to move the stuff? :dread:

No mate. I keep all my boxes in case I sell the stuff on. Would just a normal Bluetooth wireless dongle work?
