PlayStation Gold Wireless Headset Rose Gold - PlayStation 4

Actually a very nice headset for its age (writing this in 2025). The used-like new set that I received are in deed in good condition with only a couple small scuffs on the leatherette wrap on the headband. The ear pads themselves are in excellent shape. I own Sennheiser HD600, AKG K371, Steelseries Arctis Nova 5, and Galaxy Buds2 Pro. I purchased these to use with the PS3 as I had read they will work with it (no other wireless headsets will work with PS3). Can confirm these do in fact work fully functioning with the PS3, including the virtual surround sound and the mic. What is also very nice about these, is that the automatic audio output works with these, both on the PS3 and the PS5. My Steelseries Nova 5 will make the PS5 switch to the headset if the dongle is plugged in, wether the headset is powered on or not. So with the Nova 5 I have to set the PS5 to not automatically switch audio sources, I have to do it manually every time. With these (like the newer Sony Pulse) the PS5 and the PS3 will remain in standard HDMI audio mode with the dongle connected, until you power on the headset, which is very convenient. Virtual surround sound doesn't work on the PS5 with these but you don't need it to, because the PS5's own tempest 3d audio works with all headphones and is phenomenal really. When I first placed these on my head I thought they weren't going to be comfortable. The ear holes seemed tight and the padding not very thick. However, the second they kind of sealed to my head and I started playing, I realized they actually are very comfy and feel like my ears are nestled in a pillow, and they are very lightweight. Sound is good. Obviously not compared to HD600's powered by an external DAC and amp, but for gaming headsets and being wireless, the sound is good. Its not tinny, or boomy. It sounds accurate and rich. I do have concerns with longevity with the leatherette wrapping and the ear pads that are NOT replaceable or removable even. But they are in good condition currently and I personally will probably only use these with the PS3 which doesn't get the play time that the PS5 gets. All in all, very pleased that I bought these and that they are working out great. They are very cheap these days so go ahead and grab them!

Summary: This headset is light, comfortable, sounds good, sounds clear, good microphone, and has a surprisingly good surround (7.1). I did a 2 hours comparison with my wired Astro MixAmp... and I was surprised with the results... I highly recommended it. About me: I have been using flagship headphones for 7+ years for both music and gaming. About my headphones: Audeze LCD-2 (balanced) / Ultrasone Edition 8 LE / Beyerdynamic DT990 / AKG K702 / Creative Aurvana Live! / Astro Mixamp Review: I did my testing with Destiny 2 for 2 hours, and by chatting with another audiophile friend using the party chat. - Microphone The microphone sounds better than the earplug microphone that came with the PS4. Clearer and more natural sound. - Separation of sounds I had no problem listening to different sounds coming from different places. There is a scene with refugees after the initial invasion, and I could hear all the different things happening (people crying, people coughing, sparks) - Sound quality The sound was pretty good, sometimes I forgot I had the headsets on. I could hear the fire cracking, the explosions, shouting, rockets, etc. - Surround sound (7.1 VSS) In headphones there is no such thing as 7.1 or 5.1 because that is physically impossible. However, there are algorithms such as Dolby Headphone, DTS Headphone:X or Virtual Surround Sound that use the 5.1 signals and transforms the sound in a way that fools our brain into thinking we are listening from a 360 degrees. I tested the following 2 rigs: 1) PS4 -> optical cable -> MixAmp Pro -> Creative Aurvana Live! 2) PS4 -> new gold headsets with VSS enabled 3) option 1) with dolby turned off 4) option 2) with VSS turned off I tested in 3-4 places by closing my eyes and rotating the character to check how good the positioning of the sound were. I could hear a difference in both the gold headset and mixamp with their respective surround algorithms disabled (that's good isn't it?) Now, comparing the gold headset and the mixamp... I listened almost the same positioning... honestly, they were pretty close to call a winner... I would need to use a different headphone with a wider soundstage to probably notice a difference. Conclusion: For me, is a pain to setup the cables and have cables everything every time I want to play. There is a beauty on just wearing the headset and that's it. Before getting this headset I considered Astro A50, HyperX Cloud II and SteelSeries Arctis 7 among others... However, if you only care about having a good wireless 7.1 in your PS4 (and PS3), this headset is hard to beat. I'm not saying they are better than the Astro A50 (I want to try them someday)... but for this price... is a really good deal.

I'm an owner of multiple PS headsets going as far back as the PulseElite headset. A common issue with PlayStation Headsets has been the poor hinge or poor headband design. Anyone who had an elite will recognize the cracking of the decorative circular mounting point on the old headsets. The Pulse Gold users wll remember the plastic hinge that breaks after a bit of torque on the headset after a year or twos worth of usage. While I understand sony was trying for convenience to go with low cost. This resulted in a decent headset turning into a heap of disappointment. So I've ahd a good number of these headsets and different models and I have to say I'm happy sony has gone with this single hand band approach. The headset feels more sturdy, the cups feel like the gold models, and they are comfortable to wear. You could do worse for the price. Long story short I think sony may have finally cracked the code on a console's stereo headset for online gaming that is comfortable, durable, and easy to use out of the box. Onto the other aspects of the headset: 1) Audio Quality: You could do a lot worse, but finding a good gaming headset with good audio will always be a problem. Booms are handled effectively enough, with adjust-ability on either the PS4 or PS3's headset app. Teammates on Overwatch, A Way Out, Battlefield 1, and other online games came through loud and clear. 2) Mic Quality: I come in loud and clear so long as the audio quality of the games Voice is setup correctly. Mostly use it with the PS4's party chat functionality and I rarely have to repeat myself, even though I tend to be soft spoken and mumble a lot lol. So this is a blessing in its own right. Down side is that it can pick up what I'm munching on and on occasion the controller if you're sensitivity is too high. 3) Battery: Gotten a good 8+ hours out of it. I usually leave it charging on a USB charging station. 4) Buttons: good ol'sony quality buttons with well placed mute button for easy access. It doesn't look, feel, or behave like cheap garbage. It looks like something an adult would use. If you're looking for something only an Audiophile would care about then skip this headset. If you need something that lets you be heard, lets you hear, provides reasonable 7.1 simulation, and won't break to quickly with regular use. Then splurge a little from the 50 dollar headsets and get this. Setup is easy, just plug in the dongle and go. Final note 3.5mm wire is still included for those occasions the battery dies and you need to plug into the controller directly. This passive mode isn't as good as when it is powered on, but if you're gaming session lasts beyond the charge, you can easily fall back on this. Provided you don't lose the cable.

Just got these on release day and tried them for several hours, so my review is not from a longer term point of view. I have owned other Sony headphones over the years, never the "Gold" or any other PS branded headphones, read about the previous Gold being fragile, so I cannot comment on the headband issue and/or if it will be the same? The quality seems good, but to be honest for $100 I have purchased other wireless headphones for less that have equal if not better build quality or robustness, these seem very light which is for a purpose but they don't seem robust or designed for abuse so treat them as such. I also don't have PSVR, just a PS4 console, so any benefits with that are unknown for me? Pros: Comfortable, ear cups are big and fit over my ears nicely and fit my larger head size. Lightweight, I would say you can wear these for a long time and have limited issues other than battery life. Sound is good so far. Companion App is nice, but limited on game selection. Love the all Black color, but they used Piano Black on some of the components so it may be finger print prone. Set-up is easy as it gets. Cons: USB Dongle, don't lose it and/or damage it, because Sony doesn't offer it as a replacement part, the fact it protrudes in front of your console may be prone to this. Buttons are small and print is tiny on the controls, hard to read, but you do learn where they are so maybe a moot point? Battery life, not as good as the controller when charged 1:1, the headphones deplete faster. Be prepared to charge these daily after a long gaming session. Was hoping Sony increased the mAh of the battery, no specs yet so I'm thinking they are the same as the old Gold? Not active noise cancelling (knew this going in, but some tend to think they are). Would have been a nice + Included USB cord for charging is too short for my needs, I use a AC USB adapter plugged in next to my sofa, so I use a longer cord to charge. "L" & "R" is hidden behing the ear piece unless you slide them down the entire way, hard to see and in Black. Note to those who don't know, the "PS" logo should point to your Back when wearing. Volume Buttons are on your left ear. Jury is still out on durability

Let me start out by saying that the headset did come in mint condition/Brand new. It is easy to pair to any PlayStation console. Just plug the USB and turn on the headset, and you are good to go. The sound on this audio device is nothing overly special. It has good mds, descent highs and ok bass. It gets the job done, however. For gaming it is quite perfect as I can appreciate pretty much every sound a game has to offer. It helps that it is, of course, compatible with the headset app on the PS4, but the sound presets are not vastly different from each other in my honest opinion. The built-in mic is not good at all. It sounds muffled and tinny. But for me, it’s not a deal breaker because i don’t do group chats at all on PS4. The quality of the construction of this headset is were things start to falter. ergonomically speaking, it is a well built device. It doesn’t put a lot of pressure on my head and it is comfortable to wear. The ear cups have enough padding so that my ears don’t scrape against the drivers. However, they did start to slightly deform over time; translating into less padding and more discomfort because of that. At least that has been my case because the headset felt great at first and now the ear cups bother me after an hour and a half of playtime.. The fabric on the headset is soft and feels premium at first. Overtime, though, it does start to show its cheapness. I take good care of this headset and am very mindful were i place it and around what i place it. Nonetheless, it is still subject to environmental damage. My guess is that moisture is not its best friend. The padding on the ear cups and the bands began to peal off after a while. The only thing I can think of that has damaged the fabric is moisture because i do sweat a lot around the ears and i have, in many occasions, worn the headset with my hair slightly wet or with hair gel. Overall, the headset is worth the price of entry. The surround sound does work quite nicely and it does immerse you more in any game that you play. It is comfortable to wear; even with glasses on. The downside is that the material covering the ear cups and band easily degrade over time. This unfortunately can equate to loss of comfort, especially around the ears. There are ear cups replacements for this model headset. They are hard to find but you can restore comfort to your ears. In summary. Buy for the price and what it provides. Be mindful of material degradation when exposed to moisture.

I needed another headset like I needed a hole in the head. I wasn’t 100% sure they’d work with my PS5 so I bought these on a whim simply cause I’m a sucker for rose gold. As much as I loved the headset that’s marketed for the PS5, I couldn’t wear it for more than an hour without pain right behind my ears. I’ve worn these for up to 8 hours at a time without any pain at all. For me a charge lasts about 5-6 hours. I bought a 6 ft rose gold charging cord for them so when they start to beep (always in the middle of a match, of course) I just plug them in and keep going; don’t even have to take them off. The sound quality is great, and I know they’re not marketed as noise cancelling but I find it very hard to hear anything going on around me when they’re on. The buttons and switches are pretty intuitive and I LOVE the mute function. If you mute them on COD it acts like you don’t have a mic at all, which is odd, but it’s great to be able to listen to the conversation without everyone hearing you take a quick bathroom break between matches. Range is pretty decent. I have a small townhouse but I can go upstairs to drop off laundry and not lose connection. I’ve had a few occasions where I was using the mic in my controller but was having a hard time hearing chat because the speakers on the controller are so quiet so I switched on my headset and everyone said I wasn’t as clear as I was on the controller. Apparently the mic may not be A+++ quality. Go figure. Since it doesn’t effect what I hear and no one has trouble hearing or understanding me I don’t see any issues. I don’t use them on my PS4 very often but I’ve never had an issue with them on that system either. Overall I love them and would recommend.

I have a number of headphones that I like but I was getting tired of them all being wired to whatever I was using. I wanted to get something wireless so I could play my video games without having to be too close to the TV and wanted to be able to move around if I wanted. Finally, (not sure if this is ok to mention since it's a Sony product) I wanted something that would work with my multiple systems as I have a PC, PS4, Xbox One X and Nintendo Switch. I'm happy to say this works with all systems, albeit, it will only work wired to the controller on the Xbox. However, since this is advertised as a PS4 specific headset, I cant in good conscience complain about that. This thing world the best, of course, on the PS4 as it's designed for it. I also found that you can download an app for these on the PS4 store which let's you customize the sound to the game or genre of game you're playing. For example, theres an FPS mode to heighten the sounds of footsteps so you can hear people walking near you. Regardless, the sound is as good as some insanely priced headphones I've used. With the Switch, you can plug the dongle into the dock and have wireless that way and also plugging the dongle into a USB port on your PC will work as well. Charge time is great and havent had any issues with my play sessions....to note, I dont ever do marathon play sessions but I'll do an occasional 2 hour session and it's been just fine. Highly recommend!

I really wanted this headset because I previously had the prior versions they made for PS3 and I loved it. I ordered this headset and read through all instructions when I received it. The instructions pointed me to download the Headset Companion App for improved audio experiences and the ability to customize sounds for specific games. I downloaded the app and tried the headset on a typical 1st person shooter. Immediately was disappointed because the surround sound was not working. It sounded like footsteps and gunshots were all happening close to me, when in fact it was very far away. All sounds were loud and there was no direction from which it was coming. It was unplayable in a competitive shooter game. So I worked with a PS tech online through their chat service and we tried everything and never could get it working. I returned it to Amazon for a replacement and guess what, the 2nd one worked perfect....That is until I used the headset companion app again and the surround sound stopped working. This time I called PlayStation support and worked with them on the phone for about an hour. We reset every way imaginable, and uninstalled the companion app, but nothing we did causes surround sound to work again. I had no choice but to return the headset yet again. So although the headset could work, I feel that this is a completely stupid product if it tells you to use an app that causes un-repairable issues. I am probably getting a Turtle Beach or Logitech made headset once Amazon refunds the amount for this one.

El sonido es bastante bueno la presentacion es sencilla pero completa, también sirve para PC y Nintendo Switch, es un plug and play y no hay que configurar nada ni en pc ni en Switch, recomendado.

Meant to work with ps4. Works flawlessly, connects easily. Its not super comfy and should have been lighter for long gaming sessions

sound is VERY good but microphone isn’t the best. it sounds muffled but you can still make out what people are saying

Ótimo produto, confortável , qualidade de som perfeita e recebi muito rápido , parabéns pela agilidade.
