I tested with three headsets. Not the little yoke you get free with the ps4. It is superior, there's no could about it. As fieldog stated the codec is better. And the ps4 comms sound like the x360

whooosh....

I think 7.1 headsets, like 5.1 headsets, are a bit gimmicky, you simply can not replace 5 or 7 speakers around you in an ambient room - in headphones - you can emulate it though, (which is what it would be with these headset's)

A good set of stereo headphones, with a mic, would be a better buy, especially if you want to use them for phones, iPods etc....

I have a set of AiAiAi TMA 1s I use for djing, which work well on PS4, as they have a headset cable for iPhone included...

(No I don't have an iPhone thank god!) :P

LALALALALALALALALA XBOX IS BETTER THAN PS4

Sorry but seems to be how things work here.

Enough if the childish bickering. Cards will be handed out if this discussion can't be had in a reasonable sensible way - although given this thread's past form that might be a big ask.

I didn't say any console was better than the other, be happy with what one you chose and enjoy the games that are meant to be played on it....

Posts like that bring no merit to the conversation and makes the mods have to clean up clutter in the thread...

Articulate your argument, as to why you think one is better than the other - not "OMFG Xbox Rawks PS4 sux"...

Otherwise you just sound like an N4G commenter...

Magill was making the point that you have stated your test involved you using multiple headsets to test the voice quality on the PS4.

His point was that the headset(s) being used by the person/people you were communicating with was more important as if they were using a sh!tty mic, it would sound sh!tty to you, no matter what headset you were listening to it on.

Anyway, voice quality doesn't mean too much to me - so long as I can make out what is being communicated. I would never drop more than €20-30 on a headset for any console or PC I owned. Just seems redundant to me.

I know, it was a joke based on the way the previous discussion went, sorry!

Rasta said the same thing about the 7.1 being a gimmick, and then some guy came in spouting how Xbox voice comms were better than ps4, wasn't very clear! :pac:

Lads I am normally in a group of 10+ on the x1 and the voice coms are of a much higher quality and you have a mix varying headsets. Your pulling the arguments towards the headset when the VoIP on the x1 is superior to the ps4. No headset is going to change this.

Man up now that some guy is me your talking about and No I was discussing voice comms being better before rasta even posted. I own both consoles and was comparing.

I think you are wasting your time with that fella M!Ck, no point discussing anything with him, he has an answer for everything :rolleyes:

With rumours that Windows 9 will ditch the Metro look, would anyone object to MS removing it for the XBO too.

Never liked it myself.

Its OK, bit too much going on on the screens on the X1. Some people like the way you set up your shortcuts etc...
I prefer the menu avigation on the ps4. Love its simplicity. Turn on ps4 start tlou in seconds no messing around.

TBH even the PS4 UI isn't ideal. I too prefer it but the XMB on the PS3 was always my favourite. The number of button presses to get to anything was minimal and it had a nice, clean look.

Retr0gamer · 07-08-2014 4:24pm

Bring back the 360 Blades I say!

Xenji · 07-08-2014 4:25pm

I like the UI on the PS4, but I wish they would give you the option of having your games in one place, having to scroll through all the PS+ games now is becoming a chore.

I agree....

Folders or something lads!

I actually like PSN nowadays on PS4, reminds me of early 360 days oddly enough - and thats no bad thing, the days before you had to tunnel through 15 pages to find what you want, I miss those 360 blades also....

Jaysus canto I think you need to actually read the thread and not let your personal views of me dictate your opinion.

I still think your lovely though

07-08-2014 4:59pm

Found this; it explains the voice comms and you can clearly distingush that x1 is much better.

And what opinion did Rasta or myself have about the voice comms, of either console?

This really is common sense, you jumped the gun at the start, have a read back of the thread and I'm sure you'll agree.

Have a nice day Mick.

Retr0gamer · 07-08-2014 5:04pm

Lads give the 'you said, I said' nonsense behind. It's getting boring and derailing the thread.

Consider that a mod warning not to continue it on past this post.

Good video actually....

Except it only focuses on quality of what's in the actual box, when you hear someone talking on a proper quality headset on PS4, with the background music off, it is a lot better than that video...

That's not to say PS4 voice comms won't improve over time (surely it will) but Xbox does have a better hand on these type of things than Sony does...

And they will always be quicker with great software updates, one thing the PS4 is lacking in comparison to Xbox... I say that as a PS4 owner

Alas though, quality of voice chat online isn't gonna equal to a sale for most if any....

Not having a go M!Ck but that video is from November 13. I'm fairly certain there's been firmware patches and that relating to the audio since then no?

No worries Tim.
Yep its an old video but this is the difference in what I am hearing as of yesterday. It explains my previous posts.
Not sure about the firmware updates but the voice comms in general have better clarity on the X1 from my experience of owning both.

This is actually one of the reasons I'd be less inclined to get an Xbox one also.

Not that Ryse isn't exclusive but that a decent number of the xbox exclusives come to PC.

Not just Ryse though, also Dead Rising 3 is a recent one also going to PC....

Maybe it should say MS exclusive on the box if they eventually are gonna end up on PC?

I doubt Forza will go the PC road though....

tok9 · 07-08-2014 7:09pm

Ya that's what I mean.

The most interesting game coming to Xbox for me is Quantum Break and since Alan Wake came to PC (another I wouldn't mind playing) it wouldn't surprise me to see that make it's way over too.

It was even said prior to release that Ryse would not be released on PC

To me, that's worse than Killzone not quite being 1080p in multiplayer. Anyone know any good lawyers?

I wouldn't be able to wait 1yr+ just to play a game on a PC.

Now that people will eventually be able play Ryse on PC you'll start to hear people say the game is good :pac:
