Product Information

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. Fine-tune your audio set-up for each of your games or take advantage of a selection of developer-created audio modes for specific PS4 titles. PS4 consoles allow you to restore (factory reset) your headset by using the Headset Companion app. The app can be used to restore the Gold wireless headset and Platinum wireless headset.

PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset review | TechRadar

Got these on day one and I’m really pleased with them. Really comfortable, decent battery life (lasts me a good few play sessions at a time) and decent sound. Sure there are better ones out there for more money but I’m more than happy 😃 Your headset might be out of range from your console, or another electronic device might be causing interference with your wireless router.

Sony goes premium with its surround sound, 3D audio gaming headset, but is it worth the money?

If you are using two PlayStation wireless headsets or a USB 3.0 device, use a USB extension cable to put distance between the wireless adaptors and USB devices.

Sony PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset review Simply the best gaming headset you can buy, particularly if you play on PS4 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.It also means your voice isn’t channelled directly into the headset’s twin microphones, so it can sometimes sound muffled and quiet on the other end. But for your average player the microphone quality is perfectly fine, and an improvement over the mono chat headset included with the PS4. Experience complete immersion in virtual worlds with the Platinum Wireless Headset and PS VR, compatible via the supplied audio cable. Listen to music or movies from your Windows PC or Mac, using the supplied wireless audio adaptor. Plug in to your mobile device with the supplied 3.5mm audio cable. They were so uncomfortable and I could only manage 20 minutes before they were too painful to continue wearing them. I also found that they made my ears very hot.
