PS4 comes with headset, Xbox One does NOT

Huh. I wonder if this works with my VITA. (My iphone earphone mics never work!)

wakefulness

Who on earth uses those?

 

Sennheiser fo life!

Kinthalis

Still, this has been the best headset this gen.  Yes, better than those shitty Tritton and TB shit...

Bazooka_4ME

Ignorance at its finest. If you had any clue about audio, you wouldn't even mention that headset, which is equally as bad as TB, Tritton, Astros etc.

The headset of the "genernation" would be something like these:

This thread is about a headset. You talk and hear voices only through a headset not listen to the entire audio as a whole. Those would be headphones.

[QUOTE="McStrongfast"]Universal standards is another thing they're doing right, good to see that being inherited from the PS3. User upgradeable HDD, plug in whatever you want into that 3.5mm jack. Proprietary connections are almost always bulls**** which only serve to drive up the price of accessories.wakefulness

If plugged into the controller it isolates the voices into the headset or headphones. To get all audio passed through the headphones you would have to go through an audio out from the system.

Very well. That does not mean he cant be serious about games and buy a product that suits him? The headphones he bought may have less quality than a pair of audiophile headphones but that in no way makes them sound like a $40 pair. It aslo doesnt mean they are not more than plenty for a "serious" gamer.

You are simply being an audio elitist.

I understand quite well that these companies are using gimmicks to market to gamers but thats what all companies do. They market to a specific consumer. If he feels that this gear was just in cost thats all that matters. Is that the best choice for you or me? No, but you can not call a person out as not being a serious gamer because they chose a different product than you. Same thing happens in the audio world with headphones any way. Look at beats audio or BOSE. Just because they come with a high price tag it doesnt make them better but yet they sell like crazy. It comes down to if a consumer is happy with their purchase or not.Its up to them to research the options before they buy.

I have spent more many on some of my two channel audio set ups than most people have on entire home theatres. Hell I have spent more on a DAC then a lot people spend on audio systems. Point is what i see in value with these products are not the same to the next person.

When I play my Rega system for people some hear the difference and some dont. Some get the same experience from lesser equipment like BOSE. I wouldnt call them out because they overpaid I just chalk it up to its their opinion.

Just happy my turtles will work

i'm not sure why people want every person to have a mic.  Do you really enjoy 12 year olds screaming gay slurs or how they f***ed your mom, or every stoner talking about how much they be blazin it up all day bro?

yeah, that's pretty much the only time I use mine. strangers are scary

Yes. Bose and Beats do sell like crazy for similar reasons that Turtle Beach and Tritton does. Its not just about what I have. There are numerous brands of headphones that can get the job done. Gamers don't know about them though because they only know what they see at Gamestop and assume they are the best. Now I don't know if you have ever heard Turtle Beach headphones but headphone quality wise, it is about a $40 experience. Hell. Sennheiser makes $30 headphones that sound better than a $300 pair of Tritton Warheads. These are all tinny soundi g and have absoutely no soundstage. Not that a gamer really knows what soundstage means but they would definitely hear the difference if given something to compare to. Its like thinking chuck steak tastes amazing without ever trying Porterhouse or Ribeye. And sometimes the price isn't all that different. Now Turtle Beaches DSS2 or Astros Mixamp, I really have no problem with. These things are great (especially the Mixamp) for providing 7.1 Dolby Headphone. Its the cans themselves where the problem is. Once you start stripping away features from these audio systems like wifi, cell phone connectivity while gaming and licensed surround sound presets, you have a much cheaper audio system. Why are these things so much more important than the actual speakers they are driving?Murderstyle75

Trust me. I've compared the Sennheiser HD 201's to even my Astro A40's through the mixamp and they fsound quite a bit better. What you are not understanding is that even these higher end mainstream setups have absoutely zero soundstage. Who cares about that though. Its the 21st century. Convenience trumps quality any day of the week.Murderstyle75

Something that really helped Xbox Live for the 360 was the fact it included a headset. Not including one this time seems foolish

South Park said it best last night, no matter what Xbox people can't listen to reason and will always think Xbox is better, but playstation ppl can be the same way I had both Xbox 360 and ps3 and I just liked the ps3 better just my opinion, it just all about not being able to say the console you use isn't as good

topic is old, please don't bump
