It's been great for my friend! I have the logitech G35 but pretty sure they don't carry it anymore.
The G633 is supported in that all the buttons respond, the LEDs light up, and you can input it into the PS4 with no problem.
As for the 7.1 functionality, it doesn't look like it's fully supported. Per the Amazon page :
> 7.1 Surround Sound requires Logitech Gaming Software.
I highly doubt you can install this software onto the PS4. Hopefully that helps.
I use the Logitech Artemis Spectrum G633. It allows removable cable and duo audio between 1 3.5mm source and 1 USB computer.
My set up works because I play close to the dock(use a 20" TV as monitor for my desktop), or handheld near my computer most of the time. I then use the 3.5mm directly on the Switch and the USB on my desktop with Discord. Both share 1 master volume, but the 3.5 mm has an additional separate volume control and depending on the device, the device's own volume control.
Came here to recommend these myself, although I use and prefer the wired version, the g633. These are very high quality, support both DTS and Dolby surround sound. Can go up to studio quality audio in windows audio settings (although surround sound requires you be at DVD quality or below). They have nice RGB lights that aren't front facing so they won't affect your experience of viewing your screen and they allow you to switch out the micro USB cable you use to connect to your Pc, allowing you to have whatever length cable you want. When in VR I personally use one of the cables that came with the vive controllers to charge them because that are a small length and I don't notice them as much.
I do advise if you're going to use a wired headset with the vive to get a small USB extension cable to connect inside the HMD so you don't have to take the vive panel off if you want to disconnect the headset. I bought a cheap one from Walmart which can extend if needed. I usually set my HMD on top of my desktop when I am not wearing it and this allows me to not have to disconnect the headset when I want to stop using the HMD.
Only possible cons for this headset are that it's hard to know which button on the headset you are touching if you want to set up macros (although I don't personally use them) and they do have a slight tendency to slide off if you wear them and look straight up. While that last part might seem worrisome for VR however, if you just make sure the bar is snug on your head when you start, it's really not noticeable and won't fall off or move at all in VR.
Edit: mistakes were made
I was going to buy those when they dropped to $60 at Best Buy but I did some research and ended up buying a pair of Logitech G933 Artemis wireless last night. Retail price is $200, but they had them for $136 last night and I looked just now and they're $100 for wireless and $75 for wired. Several different sites said they were the best overall pair of 2016 (like tomshardware, PC magazine) if you weren't going to spend several hundred for the Astro A40/50s.
$100 off is crazy good, I'm gonna try to get mine price matched. The only possible issue is that I'm not sure if the 7.1 sound works on consoles, but they do have DTS. And a much stronger/punchier sound than the Sony Golds.
I'm going to be getting this pretty soon. It's got everything I want or could need, a wireless option, the price isn't crazy overpriced territory like the Astro's and the reviews so far have been pretty good.
Plus it looks sweet and has pretty slick customization options.
The G633's go for 105 new on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Artemis-Spectrum-Surround-Headset/dp/B013P0K8OE
just yesterday they were going new for $75 dollars new. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jFGj4D/logitech-headphones-981000586 (check price history graph)
$100 for used (even if lightly) is ridiculous. would you do $40?

I've made some adjustments to the previous commenters list to weight in the experience I've had with ryzen and memory.
Motherboard does support the ram on the QVL so no issues there. 3200mhz worth of 16gbs are great for any game out there.
Power supply was iffy on quality. I trust corsair with making anything work but I've only had bad experiences with the power supplies that they make. Just my preference to use EVGA since I have had mine for a year changing between 4 different builds without making a peep.
**Storage is my personal preference since i've worked with Kingston and PNY but speed and quality wise overtime has always gone to Samsung for SSD's. The Evo line and Pro line SSD has been the top of the class in the gaming world. Western digital does make good drives but for ten bucks more you can go from 5400rpm WD to 7200rpm Seagate.
Cpu is a nice one and I've had it before but I changed it for the 1700 due to gaming experience and the LED cooler it comes with. Some people would complain about frequency but it has performed well for me at 4ghz so that is irrelevant. This 8-core is just to future proof since most games demand higher cores and threads. 8 cores and 16 threads is excellent.
**Monitors are good to look at from the store page but in person it's much different. I've bought freesync monitors and G sync and I've actually bought the G2460PF twice due to it's great quality. 144hz with display port support (which you need for 120^fps) and a 1080p display is great. The only difference between my suggestion and the commenters suggestion is price, G-sync versus freesync and 1440p. The problem with G-sync at any resolution is the actual cost and performance in which Linus statesG-sync is either at the same or worse than Freesync. (Feel free to watch the video)
Headsets are hard to discuss in this thread since some like older models and others stick to the company they trust and in my case it's corsair. I looked for a cheap and high quality headset and for the first time the Corsair void was the first that hit that requirement better than I expected. I've had other headsets such as logitech and razer and I can tell you that you won't be disappointed with this set.I've actually had my gf wear them and trip over a cord onto the ground and still had them on. On ear controls, 7.1 surround sound, RGB settings, Equalizer quick switching button(so switch from listening to mega bass music to FPS competitive in a single press) and a red mute light at the tip of the mic when you turn it on. Same price, better quality. Plus the headset you listed is Stereo, not 7.1 like most high end headsets. Only thing equal to it logitech-wise is probably the G633 Artemis but visually they don't seem appealing since the ones I own have everything built into the headset as clean as possible. Check release dates for products btw.
My suggestion is an all around cost built solely to be future proof. You could even get a 27 inch monitor and be in your budget and having a 1080 in your built is exponentially prepared for the worst in any gaming situation.
u/dalbukerke feel free to comment on my suggestion.
Well looking at Amazon reviews, it seems like a good product.

I use the Logitech G633 Love them.
Ive had the G633's for almost a year now (I love them aesthetically) Sound quality is good, mic quality I guess is good, idk I dont usually listen to myself. The mic is alot louder then my old G430 anyway. I will admit tho, They are squeaky, its honestly kind of annoying.
I would recommend them if you can find them on sale. I paid 100 dollars, but Ive seen them drop to about 80 at the lowest.
However, wanting to get off Logitech is understandable if you have had bad experiences, so you could also check out the Hyper X cloud..stinger? I think its called.
Ive heard alot of good things about those headsets, and it looks like they recently went through a makeover appearance wise. Those are also 50 dollars vs 100.
And to be honest, if you are looking for cheaper, you cant really go wrong with the g430. (ik I just bashed on it but I had them 2 years and I gave them away, I think my cousin is still using it.)
Amazon links for the headsets I brought up.
G430 looks like its actually out of stock atm
I've tried many and the Logitech has been my favorite.
I use this headset for PC and Xbox and it works great and has yet to cause me to get too hot or sore
I use these

Always check the prices. The savings can be Knight and day.

Hi there. I have a big dome as well and only gaming headset brand I can wear for long periods have been the Logitech headsets. I also like the fabric earpads which I feel is way comfier. I think audio quality is great for gaming (music could be better but have a DAC and Seinheiser phones for that). Interface is USB, which I prefer since sometimes get hiss out internal sound card. Price is higher now but these go on sale regularly on Amazon or you could shop around for another seller. I got mine for 50 on Amazon and I've gotten many notifications when they go back down to that price.
