Detailed Specifications

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Great Sound for the Price: 7.1 virtual surround sound delivers clear, immersive audio. Reviewers consistently praise the sound quality, especially for the price point. Footsteps and directional audio in games like Warzone are excellent. One user said you can “hear the slightest sound & what direction it’s coming from” .

• Seamless PS4 Integration: It is made by Sony for PlayStation. No compatibility headaches. The Headset Companion App lets you download custom audio modes created by game developers. No other headset offers this level of integration .

• Hidden Mic Works Well: The dual hidden microphones are noise-cancelling and pick up voice clearly. No boom mic sticking out. Flip a switch to mute. Most users report no complaints from friends about mic quality .

• Comfortable for Long Sessions: Refined over-ear cushions and lightweight design. Multiple reviewers confirm they are comfortable for hours of gaming. One said they wore them for Destiny 2 raids without issue .

• Versatile Connectivity: Wireless with PS4 and PC. Wired with PS VR, phones, tablets. One headset for all your devices. The 3.5mm cable is included .

• Stylish and Customizable: Sleek design with removable faceplates. Grey PS symbols on the ear cups. Swap them out or customize your look .

• Good Build Quality (2018 Version): The 2018 version fixed the hinge issue from the original. No hinge on the headband means one less thing to break. They adjust by sliding the earpieces .

• Good Value: For the features and Sony quality, it is solid value. One reviewer called them “the best wireless set I’ve had” and said they “even beat some wired sets” .

Cons

• Battery Life Could Be Better: Real-world average is 8-10 hours. Some users report 3-4 hours at high volume. If you marathon game, keep the USB cable handy. One reviewer said “I have to charge them after every use” .

• Mic Quality Varies: While most praise it, some users report the mic sounds “garbage” or “robotic” to friends. One reviewer returned theirs because teammates complained. Another said “trash microphone” . Seems to vary by unit.

• Comfort Not Universal: Some users find the headband uncomfortable. One said it “actually hurts my head after an hour” . Another with an adult-sized head reported headaches while breaking them in . Fit varies by head shape.

• Wireless Range Issues: The USB dongle can drop signal beyond 5-6 metres. One reviewer had to use an extension cable to get the dongle closer. At 5m it kept dropping out .

• Controls Can Be Fiddly: Buttons on the ear cups are hard to distinguish by feel. Grey-on-black text is unreadable in low light. One user said they make “mistakes turning up or down” .

• Durability Concerns: Despite the hinge fix, some users still report breakage. One said the left ear died after a 1.5 ft drop . Another went through three pairs, all breaking at the main hinge . Treat with care.

• No Bluetooth for Phones: It does not connect to phones via Bluetooth. You must use the wired 3.5mm cable. If you want wireless with your phone, look elsewhere.

• Loses Features When Wired: When using the 3.5mm cable, you lose 7.1 surround sound and all the app features. Becomes a standard wired headset .

• Discontinued Product: Sony no longer makes this headset. Finding new old stock is getting harder. Buying used or old stock means limited support.
