When we reviewed the headset, we were impressed with the convincing virtual surround, and the kind of comfort that holds up under marathon gaming sessions — just a few of the pros that earned this headset an 8.5 rating.
Stunning 7.1 virtual surround sound lets you experience all sounds, from big booms to whisper-quiet warnings, with exceptional clarity. Beyond the sound of the games, you’ll also enjoy clear chats thanks to the hidden noise-canceling microphone.
Using the Headset Companion App, you can download custom game modes created exclusively by PlayStation developers that are specifically tuned to enhance the audio in your favorite games. Custom audio modes include those for “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End,” “Ratchet and Clank” (PS4), “MLB the Show 16,” “Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection,” “Until Dawn,” “Destiny,” “Bloodborne,” “Batman: Arkham Knight,” “Assassin’s Creed Syndicate,” and more.
This model comes in jet black with a solid blue interior, but you can customize your look by swapping out the removable faceplates for something that better suits your unique style. As stylish as they are comfortable, you can easily wear the headphones for hours without any strain to your head or ears.
