Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Immerse in Gaming with Sony Playstation Platinum Wireless Headset - 7.1 Surround Sound for PS4 by Angela Brooks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty amazing headphones

Bluetooth (dongle) quality is pretty bad to be honest but. wired (jack) quality is one of the best headphones to listen to. This comes from a user of the MDR 7550. The clarity is amazing, vocal clarity is excellent, it's loud enough and has a good soundstage. The sound isolation is excellent. It is also very important for the sound quality of the song. So if a song is poorly compressed, you'll know it through the headphones. The bass is okay, it won't hit you with hard hits, but it can rumble and the hits are useful. So I would rate the bass as outstanding. Physically I think the headphones are cool. I don't really know how they look on me but these are some clean looking headphones. very easy to put on and easy to put on the ear. I think my ears are medium sized maybe medium to large as I've been told I have big ears. But the headphones completely cover my ear. The weight is ok. The grip is pretty tight. The combination of weight and grip can tire your head and ears if you use your headphones for more than 2 hours. It's pretty reliable due to the grip, not sure if it will hold up if you run or move too much and it's not that light. sound natural, and the sound you hear is poorly controlled by the computer in the headphones. As if the headphones had a built-in but poorly executed equalizer. The posterization breakdown really hit me hard; if two loud and different noises meet, for example a human voice and an electric guitar, the headphones drown out both. Or when the bass hits hard in rap/hip-hop, it's a muffle fest. I do not understand why. I wish there was a PC app, maybe then it would be possible to turn off the artificial effects. But I think only PS4 has the app. I've only tried it wirelessly for three hours without charging them. I don't know how long the battery really lasts. The sound is not bad and I can play well with it. Wireless mode doesn't work well if you're just listening to music. I play games from time to time and these headphones have a pretty good soundstage over both Bluetooth and wired. I couldn't try the 3D feature as I don't think I have a game that supports it. But just playing Witcher 3 last night was a pretty good experience. I really like the soundstage and the accuracy of the sounds. I also listened to Dolby Atmos demos on YouTube and it was a whole new amazing experience for me. Pretty good gaming headphones. You can also choose the headphones that users use, I'm sure you can tell they play a lot. If I could trade it in, I'd take the ch700n instead. I might consider switching, but I'm totally fine with the purchase. If you only want (in-ear) headphones, I know the ath headphones (m series), they also sound great (I only have the m30x) and are significantly cheaper. But Sony's Hi-Fi wireless headphones also seem like a tempting choice. But I can't say because I haven't tried it. If I could afford it I would go with the Sony as I grew up with their sound profile (maybe just their neutral/studio headphones).
