Do not buy this if you have a PS4

These are the worst headphones I have ever bought. I use it for my PS4. Without the mixamp, the headphones sound even worse than the $30 headphones that come with the iPhone. I've tested in every game I own, from FPS to survival games (Apex Legend and you can barely hear their footsteps and shots, CoD with a high boost sound but still crap, and Dead By Daylight - generally no heartbeat). So, even though there might just not be enough headphones out there (stupid of me), I bought myself a mixamp. The audio gets 1 level louder when you change the level on your phone ($300+ for $30 premium iPhone headphones). For clarity, the sound is like pulling forgotten headphones out of your back pocket after washing and drying in the car, or listening to music through the speakers underwater. I tested it on a PC and it sounds like regular headphones. Nothing "suitable for tournaments". I do not understand that. It's worse than my Razer Kraken. Save your money, don't spend that much on these headphones if you play on PS4 (buy a Razer Kraken for about $80, it's way better than anything else)
