I use the Sony Gold headset with my Switch, and it works great. While a headphone jack would be nice, I hope you realize that it's still possible to use wireless headphones with the Switch. You don't have to play with low or no volume!
Might not be exactly what you want to hear, but I think you could greatly improve your experience by upgrading your headset. I have the Sony Playstation Gold headset which you can get on amazon for 70 bucks and I personally love it. I have been using it since I first got my PS4 years ago back when it was 100 dollars and I am still thrilled with it. The surround sound is really incredible and you can tell where everything is coming from. Works great if you are into playing multiplayer shooters as well, being able to hear enemy players can give you a huge competitive advantage you didnt even know you were missing out on.
Are you looking for headphones with a mic for online gaming or just headphones for solo gaming?
I think the Sony Golds are the favorites generally for price/value.
Playing at 3am while drowsy and not communicating will definitely affect the quality of your matches!
As far as a headset goes, Amazon has the PS4 Gold headset (which I swear by) on sale. You could always pricematch at Target or Best Buy if thats easier for you too. https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
USB charge. https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-sony-psp/dp/B00HVBPRUO Check the amazon page for specifics. They are great. I sold my PS4 and got a great deal on a really nice Corsair VOID set so I'm getting rid of these. I've owned a few pairs of Golds over the days, love em.
I've had quite the opposite experience with the Gold's. But I'm not sure which ones you're talking about. The current model or this older model. I have this older discontinued one and I've had them since like 2013 and they just only recently broke on me. They still work surprisingly, audio is unbothered. But I have broken both sides of the ear cups and cracked the band in the middle. One of the cups is hanging from a cable lol but yet they still work flawlessly as far as audio goes.
This wasn't my original question. I have an official compatible PS4 headset that works just fine with my PS4.
Heres an amazon link so no one else gets misled by gregsaw's comment: https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-sony-psp/dp/B00HVBPRUO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1515906411&sr=8-4&keywords=ps4+headset+gold
Now could someone answer the actual question, would it work? Won't be able to test this for a little while house is being redone and would like to order whatever accessory is necessary to make this work.
Take a look at this Playstation headset, has a wireless USB adapter that works for the Switch as of a recent update, and it also comes with a cord to use it with a standard headphone jack.
Hello. I am currently using these. As far as when, I am not sure. Have had them for a few years.
I got it on a holiday sale for cheap but it's fucking great. can use it for anything. good battery life. decent range. I HIGHLY recommend it. Also fits comfy.
I doubt there is anything on that price range good enough for this sub taste. Wireless will for sure cause a sensible drop in audio quality. I wouldn't recommend you wireless.
And yes, you can hear the difference between an affordable (100ish $) high quality headphones, and "normal" headphones. Perhaps not between 100 and 1000$, but you can have amazingly good headphones (which audio quality you will notice for sure) if you are willing to go wired.
But, if you insist, take a look at Sony Wireless for PS4. Wireless with wired option (via USB transmitter), over the ear, more or less comfortable (don't expect wonders), two colors (black and white)... Sound is MEH, but you can't expect much more for this price bracket if you go wireless.
If you're looking for a good and cheap wireless headset, go with the Playstation Gold Wireless Headset (which is black unlike the name suggests). It lasts a while on a charge, the sound is fantastic as well as the mic built in, and super comfortable. It's about the best $60 headset you could possibly find. As for speakers, always go Logitech if you're sitting at a desk.
So if I have my PSVR hooked up, but I'm playing a game without the headset and just one a regular TV, how do I go about using the headphones below for chatting in a game like GTA?
Definitely PlayStation Gold Wireless headset.
I bought this one:
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
It works great but the biggest problem is getting other people to listen to callouts or speak back. I've heard this is much better on PC which is one reason why I plan on playing there eventually.
But yes, sound plays a HUGE part of the game. Not just footsteps but dialogue that calls out big plays.
Damn, those cost as much as the PSVR unit!
I'm using these and they do a pretty good job of immersing you without completely cutting you off from the real world.
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-Black/dp/B00HVBPRUO
I just use Sony's Playstation Gold Wireless headset. Found it for a good price a few years back.
Nothing amazing, but it works nicely and is easy to use.
Only two complaints: I don't like big headphones and I don't like my ears covered. But I put up with it because good quality smaller set are hard to come by.
I'm using the Playstation Gold headset (wired, of course) and it's really comfortable. I've heard the hinges can weaken over time, though, so that's something to consider.
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
Yeah man, I live in apt building in Manhattan, also I have a career. My own hours I can normally play games are a few weeknights around 9pm to midnight. I will never be able to play with a killer speaker setup, my neighbors would hate me. I've been using headphones with gaming for years now, its great. I've some amazing setups over the years, but if you wanna spend only like 100 bucks, try the Sony Gold Wireless set. https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
I even starting using it in CSGO recently when I managed to lose my really nice ones, they work great for that.
I found out that the PlayStation Gold headset works with Xbox one! This will be the one headset I need for my PS3/PS4/Xbox One/PC! It requires an adapter for xbox one but works out of the box on the other 3 devices. https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470697634&sr=8-1&keywords=playstation+gold+headset
I have the Vengeance 2100 and these:
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
Comparing the two, the 2100's bass just sounds boomy and uncontrolled. If you're deadset on something wireless with a mic, I think the Sony's are pretty good.
Another option is to get a pair of headphones, combine it with a removable mic and one of those mini bluetooth receivers for when you want to listen to music in your sun room.
I have the wireless PS4 Headset works well but takes up one usb slot for the receiver. The battery for the head set last about 2.5-3 times longer then the controller.
Either the Sony Gold or Pulse Elite (if that's still around). I have the Pulse and friends have the Golds; they both perform very well and have good mics. While they are known to be fragile, I have not had that experience. But then I seldom rage quite and throw my headsets... Your mileage may vary.
Golds are US$85 at Amazon right now.
http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
I use the Playstation Gold headset and I love it. Good battery life, good microphone (it has a secondary at the back which it uses to filter background noise) and good sound. It's pretty comfortable, sometimes after wearing it for an entire night my ears will start feeling a bit sore though.
You need to save up a few more dollars and then get this one: http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440708962&sr=8-1&keywords=sony+headset
I have 2 sons and I myself play games. I can't tell you how many headsets we went through until I bought these Sony headsets. The Sony headsets are extremely durable, have long battery life and have built in microphones. You won't be sorry!
I have nothing bad to say about the Sony Playstation Golds. They are super comfortable and I've been able to wear them for upwards of 6 hours or more.
Microphone is built into the headset and whilst its not an amazing microphone, its still a damn good one for chatting to you friends with. Battery life is great; I only need to charge mine like once a week.
It isn't 5.1 though but it has VSS, which if audio isn't a major priority will do just fine.
I was in a Wal-Mart last year and someone had put the Playstation Gold headset in the wrong spot. It was supposed to be on the hook marked $99.99, but instead someone had put it on the hook marked $49.99.
Also, it was locked onto the hook to prevent theft, so clearly it had to be an employee who put it there, not a customer.
I knew the guy working the register in electronics, so I asked him if they would sell the headset to me for that price. He said he'd have to ask his manager. Manager comes back and says she'd be willing to give me a 20% discount (so $80) but that's it.
I was pretty bummed.
I have a problem with my mic being too loud in-game, I get comments that I should lower it and it only happens on CS:GO, I use a Sony Gold Wireless Headset.
I've tried changing it from recording devices but I don't have a volume slider, I've also tried changing voice_mixer_volume to less than 1, the config.cfg in common folder and through steam settings as well. None seem to work at all, when i listen to myself though "voice_loopback 1" I'm really loud. And it stays loud no matter what I change.
Any ideas on what i should do, I might get another mic but I want to know if there's any other solutions I can try. Thanks
If you are going to get those, it is worth the few extra bucks to get these. http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1427750142&sr=1-1&keywords=sony+gold+wireless+stereo+headset
The gold is currently $90 on Amazon, but I've seen it go down to $60-70 in the past.
Your monitor might have a 3.5mm plug in it for audio. mine does and its pretty damn old..
The official wireless sony headphones are awesome too in this situation.
a little pricey but they will work on computers and stuff too. i switch from my pc to ps4 all the time with them.
They're GREAT! I got them really cheaply during black Friday but I would have paid a lot more for them! They average around $80 but they sound soooo good. Both of my brothers have them also and the mic quality is excellent!! I couldn't recommenced them more!
Here they are. Check other retailers for better prices.
its these ones but i paid less for them here in sweden. and in 6 months there hasnt been a problem at all i highly recommend them most likely the best headset ive owned for either x360 pc or anyother
I can't say from experience, but I've heard great things about the Sony Gold Wireless headset w/built-in mic. It has a corded option, too and works with PS3/PS4/Vita/PC and anything else with a normal headphone jack.
http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-playstation-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
Ok to update amazon now has a link - Gold Headphones - however I think this was because someone was listing them as a marketplace item as opposed to amazon themselves stocking them. Either way its currently product unavailable...
Also available at Amazon fot $65.
If your limit is around $100 and aren't set on turtle beach then the Playstation Gold Wireless Headset is pretty good from what I've used of it. It has the same feature for hearing yourself to adjust how loud you are and I've found that it doesn't interrupt you at all. It's charged via microusb charger and connected to the PS4 or PC via USB dongle (no bluetooth is a downside) or an audio jack that can plug into the controller/PC.
You can get more info here and possible lower prices here if you want to look into it more.
It also looks like the dongle for the PS3 gold headset https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-sony-psp/dp/B00HVBPRUO
Lol. How many reviews do you need? Amazon isn't enough? The major tech sites listed aren't enough? I've very much so met the burden of proof required on my end. You've not even come close - you must keep repeating yourself and calling them trash.
But for fun, I'll add a few more.
Amazon US aggregate, again for the old ones, with more than 5000 reviews, 4/5 https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-sony-psp/dp/B00HVBPRUO
Trusted Reviews gives it a 9/10. http://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/sony-wireless-stereo-headset-2-0
Gamingscan gives it the award for the best all around solution headset: https://www.gamingscan.com/best-wireless-gaming-headsets/
I could keep going but if at this stage you can't see that very few people would call them 'trash' there really is no point.
Personally I love my Sony gold elite headset. 7.1 surround and cost only like 80 for a wireless headset. PlayStation Gold Wireless Stereo Headset - Jet Black [Old Model]
recommend me a pair of wireless USB headphones? I was thinking of the Playstation Gold since the price and reviews were decent.
So......does this mean I can buy this:
PlayStation Gold Wireless Stereo Headset - Jet Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HVBPRUO/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_zHn6zbB7Q2GTP
and it will work on my Ps4, Ps3 and Switch?
/u/hamletgod, please repost this with just the URL below without the referral/affilate link.
the ps4 gold headphones.
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO?th=1
great coverage. very comfortable for long gaming sessions. can be connected to pc. fantastic headset.
I have PS4 gold headphones they are really easy to use and comfortable too.https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
try the ps4 2.0 wireless i love them!! just an amazing headset. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HVBPRUO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_mmpPyb1MGRG5X
These are what I'm using right now and they are pretty fantastic
Similar price to your other headset, and for the price they can't really be beaten.
I use my Sony Gold Headphones pretty exclusively.
Otherwise I've got soundbar setups on my main TVs.
Ok. Here are a few that I have actually tried:
This one is made by Sony for the PS4. These are the Playstation Gold. IMO, they are decent, but not the optimal choice. They tend to be flimsy and have an internal mic that picks up everything:
This is another 2 by Afterglow that I have had:
And:
The first Afterglow one i have currently and is awesome. It has a flexible mic and awesome battery life. I just games for 12 hrs in party and had no troubles at all with the battery life.
The third my friend has, and he says he loves it too.
IF you wanna spend more than that, i can find you more if you would like.
What you purchased something for has no bearing on what it's worth now. The market is the market.
And PS Gold headsets are regularly under $80 new shipped via Amazon Prime, or in person at BestBuy
http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
Made by Sony, I have them and they are amazing for a hundred bucks.
Here you go Works perfectly.
http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
Be careful of the joints though they can weaken over time if you're not careful, otherwise they're unbeatable considering the price
Thank you! And this works for the New PS headset right?
I vouch for the Gold headset too. You can get it at Amazon for 80. PlayStation Gold Wireless Stereo Headset - Jet Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HVBPRUO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_sfwqwbM3TK0GC
Currently $73.98 on Amazon
Even the really good soundbars kinda suck compared to a real 5.1 system. I'd recommend a nice set of headphones. The Sony Golds are ok but the Astro A50's sound great.
was 55$ a few days back at walmart. it is now 88$ on amazon
http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
Amazon is a dollar cheaper at $26. http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
I mean this with all seriousness.
http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
If you're on the hunt try the Sony Gold. $100, love it.
I'm on mobile but here's a link. http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO

I don't know much about them, but the PS Gold sets seem to be well liked.
Definitely not a problem with your PS4.
Your best bet is a pair of PS4 Gold Wireless headphones:

http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-playstation-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
For 10 dollars more you could get these...they work on both PC and PS4 and have a built in mic
You won't regret purchasing a headset, especially for gaming

Either way, it will be coming out in a few days.
I'm a PlayStation gamer and I really love the PlayStation Gold headset. Had mine for two years and has been excellent the whole time. Comes with a USB stick and I'm not 100% sure if it's compatible with computers or not but I think it would be. Feel free to do your research but for sub 100 dollars and wireless, these are about the best value I think you'll find.
PlayStation Gold Wireless Stereo Headset - Jet Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HVBPRUO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_sp-Byb73B4ZB5
I can't recommend Sony's wireless PS4 headset enough. Totally changed my Vive experience not having a headphone cable dangling around my back. Plug and play with Windows, connects over USB dongle. Under $100 anywhere.

I have this one, a lot of people think its good. You can probably hold out for a better price though. They go on sale a lot.
This playstation headset works with xbox one
Deal goes live in 40 minutes
Edit: probably isnt with it if you don't already have an headset adapter but if you have both consoles it's cheaper than two headsets
You'll want to get the PlayStation Gold Wireless Headset. Its the best headset for the money for PS4 http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Wireless-Stereo-Headset-playstation-4/dp/B00HVBPRUO
This is what I use. Don't even own a PS3/4. Beautiful VSS 7.1 and wireless!
I know some people may disagree with me on this, especially any audiophiles out there but I really like the Playstation Gold wireless headset.
only 100 bucks on amazon with a 4.5 rating from 1200 reviews? That's a pretty damn good score if you don't wanna take my word for it. I like the sleek look without a protruding microphone and the headset is over the ears and pretty comfortable. Obviously it works out the the box with the PS4 and PS3 with a simple USB dongle for the wifi paring. This dongle can be move to the PC for instant plug and play headphones as well.
