About this deal

I do have big lugs and the cups are just that little bit tight for my elven tips. Still, a solid headset. Just need some tempest ready ps5 games to try them on.

Switch the headset on and wait for the blue light to stop blinking and turn solid blue. A solid blue light indicates a successful pairing. Overall, for looks, comfort, and crucially the quality of sound, this is another very solid effort from Sony. The Platinum headset's only outstanding fault right now is the fact its main selling point is 3D audio, where support is surprisingly thin on the ground. Of course, that will change down the line but we do wonder how difficult it is to add support to PS4 titles, and whether third party publishers have much incentive to make use of the new hardware. As things stand for most games, the main benefit of paying extra for this headset will be in its higher-grade speakers and upgraded build quality. Considering the 3D Pulse, Gold, and Platinum headsets all use the same tech (presumably) and the same connection interface (I think I read somewhere it still uses the USB dongle?) there is absolutely NO reason the Gold and Platinum would not work for PS5, including while playing PS5 games with 3D Audio. Speaking of, a lot could be done in the design department to make them look a lot less massive sitting on top of your head, and despite two metal alloy bars floating across the top, the headset’s plastic sections feel fragile.In The Last Guardian, those cavernous rooms feel truly empty: you hear the echo of footsteps resonate in your ears, and you can hear the sound of creaking wooden walkways as they bend and strain in the wind.

Using large, 50mm drivers, the PlayStation Platinum headset is capable of delivering crisp highs and punchy bass, and the virtual 7.1 surround sound makes a big difference when playing titles such as Destiny and Battlefield 1.

The Platinum Wireless Headset takes gaming audio to a whole new dimension, delivering rich highly-positional virtual surround sound in all PlayStation®4 games.

With any audio device, sound quality and performance are always the first port of call. Making sure that both input and output are as clear and consistent as possible. However, outside of analyzing a product's auditory performance, things like battery life, comfort, and how easy products are to use are also factored into the testing process. The earcups are ringed by buttons and switches for power, volume, adjusting the audio/chat mix and switching on or off the headset’s surround sound features. They are virtually indistinguishable from one another to the touch, so even after months of regular use you’ll find yourself having to remove the headset find the button you’re after. Immerse yourself in the action, from the roar of the crowd to enemy footsteps, in crystal clarity with enhanced 7.1 virtual surround sound. Let's start with what's in the box. With the headset you get a wireless USB adapter, a micro-USB charging cable, a 3.5mm audio cable, and a carrying pouch. Setup from there is simple; you plug that USB adapter into your PS4, switch the headset on from the left cup, and the two pair automatically. This adapter is key to using the headset wirelessly, and even works on PC with no hassle - once you plug the adapter in, all drivers install immediately. As another bonus, you can wire the headset to mobile phones using the audio cable. This switches the headphones off completely, avoiding any of use the inbuilt rechargeable battery, and disabling the buttons. It basically turns into a regular, passive pair of headphones, but audio quality still holds up very nicely.There's nothing special about the pulse headset. As all the processing is done by the PS5, any stereo headphones will work providing they're compatible with the PS5. But those who aren’t on a PS4 will still benefit from the Platinum Wireless Headset’s greatest strength; its sound quality. No, we believe that PS5 games should take advantage of the new capabilities and features we’re bringing to the platform, including the features of DualSense wireless controller. Play with absolute precision and pinpoint the exact direction of movement, speech and gunfire with 3D Audio*.

PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset review: Is this the

Do you own the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset? What are your thoughts on it, and do they align with our own? For transparency, PlayStation provided us with this product for review. Up Next: Does PSVR Work on PS5? You appreciate sleek design. Both the headset and itself boast sleek designs to help save space on your setup while looking the part. With the PS4 now just about a decade old (no, we can't believe it either), options for its best headsets are a dime a dozen. There are some exceptions of course, but we are seeing the heavy hitters in the industry retail these older models in the wake of the PS5 console entering its third year of market availability. We should stress that if you're after what's current-gen, then the best PS5 headsets are going to be more your speed.
