Headset for PS4

    I was just wondering what headsets people will be using with their PS4?

    From a look on Amazon, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of choice yet.

    There's a Turtle Beach set for £150 but the reviews are pretty poor for it. There's an ORB set there aswell for about £40 but I've never heard of them, are they any good?

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/ORB-GP3-Gaming-Headset-PS4/dp/B00GH7U7DA/

    Are most people going to use their existing headsets?

    i hear theres a speaker on the ds4 so could i use a normal headset without a speaker and use the ds4 as the speaker

    Astro A40's are in my opinion the best headset for gaming.

    Haven't got a ps4 yet but I'm planning on using my skullcandy slyrs, pretty sure they work with ps4. I know skullcandy are known to break easily but I've had mine for a few months (got them sometime during the summer) and use them daily on my PC or 360 and love them.

    Have been looking at a pair of a50's as an upgrade on my Sony Stereo Wireless headset, so will be looking for your feedback. So no pressure :p

    They're available from the astro website for the princely sum of £250.

    a50's are awful. Get A40's.

    I have the Sony Pulse headset which is excellent. The dongle won't work on the PS4 at launch though, but it'll be patched in. In the meantime you can plug it into the DS4 with a cable, the headset and mic will work at that.

    I don't know if they'd be what your looking for, but I bought a pair of Turtle Beach P11's this morning from Amazon for €38, I know to the lads who are spending €100 plus on headsets they're probably muck, but for what I want they look right for me on the reviews. I also looked at the PX22 which looked good but these will be the first pair of decent headphones I will own so wasn't sure on spending much more

    I spent a fortune on TB PX5s which won't work with the PS4 :(. They are pretty wonderful though for the PS3.


    What's the headset like that's bundled with the PS4. Won't that do the job?

    You can get a special 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable off the TB website that will allow any 360 compatible headset to work with the PS4.

    It's the only cable confirmed to work as people have been trying cheaper ones as well, so getting the TB cable is the only real option.

    Edit: the PS4 patch should make it work as it did with the PS3, so on the day try it out first.

    They wont sell them outside Europe annoyingly yet. I wanted one just in time for launch!

    Isn't the problem with the PX5's that it's a wireless blue tooth thingy that they haven't said they are going to patch?

    Thought it was connected to the headset receiver and USB to the PS3, if it is bluetooth directly to the PS3 then you'll need the cable.

    There's people on reddit and neogaf trying to find an alternative source of the 3.5->2.5 as the TB one is expensive for what it is.

    Maybe email support and they can arrange something.

    I have the A50's for about a year now and I adore them. Totally worthwhile for so much more than gaming, even if thats what you use them for mostly

    Any advantages over the A40's other than they're wireless? I must admit, that is one driving force for me plumping for the A50's.

    That was the major pull for me too. Not sure about the A40's specs. I have enough wires in and around at my desk for that to be worth the extra money for it.

    Xbox 360 still required a chat cable though, excited to be fully wireless for the PS4.

    Turtle Beach X12's if they still have them around.

    Pretty sure they work on PS4, i know they don't on XB1 unless you do some DIY.

    It says 360. though it looks like it supports ps4? Or thats not the same set? Are these USB or there is more messing wires with them?

    It works but you need a PS4 chat cable from Turtle Beach.

    That's the problem with new consoles they seem to change everything. Probably paid by the Headset companies no doubt.

    Damn, something tells me I better off staying and waiting for proper PS4 headsets pop up. :(

    You could or you could buy the Turtle Beach X12's from Argos tomorrow and buy the PS4 chat cable from Turtle Beach for 6 dollars.

    While waiting for the chat cable to arrive you can still have game sound just can't talk.

    No big deal really as it'll be sorted as soon as the cable arrives.

    Hope this helps!

    Cheers bud, but If I need that cable ordered online, then I might as well just order headset online too at the same time. Thats not good for me now as my both cards are not with me. :(

    No worries man. This is the nature of the beast when it comes to gaming.

    Milk as much money out of us as humanly possible.

    Grinds my gears.

    Best of luck!
