Best Headset Ever - Accessories

PS4 Slim Users: Will They Go With a Big 4K HDR TV? GREAT EXPERIENCE! I bought and tested 5 headsets before buying this one from Hyper Cloud, Razer and Sony etc. They were the best in all categories - comfort came first. I'm so amazed they feel like a cloud on your head you don't even notice them. They don't hurt or bother you after long hours of play. I thought that the headsets just start to hurt after staying on the head for a long time and that's it. I was wrong! You are literally always comfortable. The only thing I would like to say is that sometimes you may feel that the headband on the top of your head hurts a little, most likely due to the weight of the headset on your head. i think it's ok However, I adopt it for earaches and headaches from wearing other headsets. SOUND is probably the best part, it's true surround sound, clearer, clearer and audible orgasm. You can hear every little thing. Sometimes I confuse in-game tapping with real-life tapping. Surround sound sometimes confuses me about what's in game and what's in real life haha. I like that these headphones don't have noise cancellation. I'd say they cancel out noise by 85% unless there's some kind of party going on outside the room you're playing in - then you're obviously hearing more in the background. But the regular 85% noise cancellation gives you the headroom to hear people calling you and keeps you out of the real world, which I think is very important during sudden emergencies in your area. You never know, playing call of duty multiplayer with them is like a dream come true. Playing ANY game with amazing sound is like a dream come true. You really get the full experience playing with them. I'm the kind of person who likes to listen to all the little noises in every game. I feel like these little sounds, when viewed as a whole, make our experience more immersive. The durability of the headset is great without a doubt. They feel solid and reliable and look great. I think these are the most beautiful headphones on the market. You look stylish. They are not bulky and durable at the same time. Your microphone is excellent. Contrary to what some reviewers say, my friends immediately noticed my improvement in microphone quality. They said I sounded cleaner. I had no problems with my mic or the standard mic that comes with the headphones. It can be exchanged if you like another microphone better. Once again, one of the best features of this headset is the mixer amplifier. I love how I can always turn down the chat audio in favor of the game audio and vice versa. I think that's a benefit all headsets should have if you hang out with friends a lot. I also love how you can plug the mixer amp into your computer and play around with different settings for different scenarios. The setup for them was a little tricky just because I had to do some research. I'm using it on a thin PS4 that doesn't have an optical port, which was a problem. You'll either need to get an adapter that has this, or if your TV has one, you can plug it directly into your TV. If you connected it to a TV, there MAY BE a setting that you need to enable in the TV's settings (the audio out setting needs to be changed to Optical Out) for it to work fully. And then you have to change the settings in the PlayStation itself. Astro has a video on YouTube that gives step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for Slim. As you might have guessed, making all these adjustments can be a bit of a hassle when you just want to play and have great sound. and a problem if you're not tech savvy. By the way, I actually told my friend to plug his optical headphone jack into his TV instead of his PS4 Pro and he found the sound quality to have improved a lot, which makes sense. The PS4's optical port is most likely not as powerful as your TV's. So this is something to consider if you have a pro. I think I hit everything! The bottom line is, YOU NEED THESE HEADSETS in your life. If I were you, I would prefer 2017 to 2019. to have shape. Also, the edges are rounded rather than hard edges, which I think is another benefit in the event of a fall.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Lots of Stuff
