I used them only for gaming on my PS4 and man did they work. I wouldn't be able to hear people calling me out in the living room. I was able to detect enemy movements quickly and from which direction. Only downfall of these headphones is its connection to my PS4 controller. It probably lasted me a year before the bending at the connection weakened and no longer work. Besides that and the price for them, it seems to be a fair deal for a year.
