Better Bluetooth headset with a mic?

Really fucking doubt it even if Sony do make some of the best headphones in the professional business.

With the surroundsound on, its actually okey. Compared to a wired headset with the same pricetag, its garbage. I use it mostly to chat in Rocket league. Batterylife is surprisingly good too.

Absolutely not! They are fucking horrible.
The plastic is brittle and broke within months and that's with never dropping it. I care for my items. The hinges that fold break off as well. The mic quality sounds like you're in a tunnel. The headphone quality is the only thing it has going for it. That and the USB wireless shit making it work on your PC as well, but with the PS4 only having 2 USB ports. Eh!

Overall. Do not get it. Garbage. I have electric tape holding mine in place. Will probably go buy a better headset this holiday season with sales but the question is, which one?

Should have bought those 100 bucks seinheiser on black Friday, those were a steal
>>
>>319856692

Got mine last christmas, I take care of my shit unlike >>319857861, still in perfect condition and I even carried them around in my bag for months as dedicated headphones. Sound is good, Wireless works good for both PC and PS4, Microphone is very meh. I stream a lot with it and it actually sounds better if you plug it in through the cable than wireless. It's got a lot of features that are nice like sound mixing, sidetone and so forth; so it's a decent sub-100$ headset that's wireless.
>>
>>319856964
Yeah, only reason I was considering it is for chat. I need bluetooth because my stick doesn't have a headphone port.

Yeah man it lasts pretty long too and the surround sound is good. Best part you can adjust chat volume for those loud fucks

>>
>>319859248
ATH-M50x
>>
>>319859248
Audiotechnica ATH-M50x. They're extremely popular because they sound good for their price range, but many people praise them too much because it's usually their first headphones that aren't cheap apple earbuds or skullcandies. Even though, they don't sound terrible, they're just overrated.
>>
I just got these on monday for $40, they're a fucking godsend.
The only problem is the cable that comes with it is short as fuck (like a foot long) but the battery life, comfy feeling and sound quality are fantastic.
>>

>>
>>319856692
the hinges are plastic and break easily, on my second pair
>>
I've got AD700s.

They're really comfy, even 5 years or so after I bought them, but my main issue is the fucking cable. They used some cheap plastic that degrades in contact with skin oil, so after using them for 6 months or so, the first few feet of cable seize up and become rigid as fuck.

1. Take headphones from your headphone stand
2.Wear them
3. ?????
4. Put them back when you are done gaming

Maybe you people have some rage issues or just very shitty pair of headphones. Mine are fine. Even the fake leather pads look like brand new. Then again I don't have greasy long hair.

Op they are cheap, they look cheap and are light weight but they are comfy as fuck. I get complimented about mic quality all the time. Maybe cause I don't have mouth full of Doritos. The bass is laughable specially if you want to use them for music and some dubstep or idk. The buttons are good quality and you can pretty much adjust them however you like. Some games even come with recommended headphones settings.
If you are ape don't buy these. But if you are casual games get em.
>>
>>319862083
Seems promising. Again, I just need bluetooth + mic. Average sound quality will due and these are slightly above average from what I hear so that's just a bonus.
>>
mine lasted a year until one of the hinges snapped because it was made of cheap fucking plastic

A lot of people say that gaming headsets arent very good, and they're right. I'm not saying you should get yourself headphones and a boom mic like some people who enjoy being entangled by cables, just dont buy the expensive headsets because the level of quality hits the ceiling around the $60 mark
>>
>>319862238

An actual surround sound speaker setup (even 5.1) sounds way better than headphones to me
>>
>>319857298
Holy shit these look nice and they're 100 dollars off right now.
>>
>>319862206

For gaming they are very good. I had pair of Sony Pulse which are more expensive but I really didn't notice any major difference. Pulse's feel and look more solid and are much louder but if you use them on max volume you are going to be deaf very soon. I also noticed the louder you use them the shittier the battery life gets but that's the thing with all bluetooth headphones.

That's the reason I don't let them into my bedroom. They have free reign of the rest of my apartment, but I don't let them in my room.

So of course, they hide off to the side when they hear me about to open the bedroom door and immediately bolt in when I do.

They are developed by the same team who makes Astros, so the quality is pretty damn impressive for the price. $150

How about a recommendation for speakers? I'm very satisfied with my no-headset headphones (Phillips TR 55LX), because I don't play online shit.
But I would love to listen to some good quality loud music and gaming around me from time to time.
Stereo would suffice, I think.

i use the ath-m50. it's alright for games, better for music. in game, sounds can be a little difficult to distinguish sometimes when there's a lot going on. they're closed back, so your ears can get warm after a while. they also start to hurt my ears if i wear them for several hours, and i have to readjust them.

On the go I use Skullcandy Smokin Buds 2.
I wouldn't carry anything expensive around, and these aren't too bad for the money. They fit very comfortably in the ears and have a surprisingly clear sound and bass.

Skullcandy stuff wears pretty decently for budget. People shit on them but vs apple and beats, they are much better. I used to carry lowriders around when i used to travel on the bus a lot (because the early skullcandy buds were pretty shitty) and they'd last about a year of constant use before the cable would wear out.

I bought some kitsound earphones and they broke within a couple of weeks. I was pretty pissed.
(Especially when their wireless speakers aren't too bad)

Is there much in the way of wireless headsets a PS4 even supports? Have had what OP posted for nine months, but a broken hinge (taped together currently) and barely functional mute button later, I need something better.

Might just grab a good pair of normal headphones for now to plug into the controller, but it doesn't match the convenience of something I can use for 5-6 hours wire-free at a time, and also charge while using if I have to.

Because most of these headsets aren't 7.1 surround sound, they're virtual 7.1 surround sound. They emulate it, they don't actually have multiple speakers in the headset to play audio from multiple angles.
