Headset for PS4

wes

Picked up the Turtle Beach PX4 wireless headset during the week. Now, I am not an audio guy, but they sound good to me. Tried them with the PS4, PS3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, and my PC. Sounded great with all of them. The Xbox One doesn't have Dolby however, but the stereo sound wasn't too bad.

Also, tried them with my Sky HD box and they sounded good with those, as well as Netflix via my TV.

The setup was fairly simple, and the headset hold a charge for a good while. The included usb charger cable is also very long, and they can be used while being charged. There also far lighter than my last pair of head phones, and they don't hurt my ears like my last pair after prolonged use.

Not tried the mic just yet, as I haven't been playing any games online this week. May give Killzone online a go this week sometime.

Seriously though, the packed in ear piece and mic are functional. They give everyone with a PS4 the ability to chat online and use voice commands and that is all they needed to do. Could they have been better? Absolutely. But keeping the price as low as possible was clearly imperative.

Personally, I just use the set I use with my phone.

I'm using the mono headset for chat and the Turtlebeaches for sound. Works a treat.

Just wanted to say that I got myself creative Fatality headset for pc. I bought a cable to change the pink and green pins in to one single 3.5 jack, so I could use it with ps4 too.
The thing works perfect ( connects right in to ps4 controller ) and in total coated me 30£. A fantastic headset for the price and works on pc and ps4. Well worth a look who is looking for a decent headset for cheap.

Just got the astro mix amp pro 2013 edition
as the 2010 model I had was no good for voice chat but sound was usual in game astro quality just hated having a ear bud for chat .

the 2013 mix amp is updated to latest firmware now and ready to go
it also has 4 preset equaliser settings which are really good.
the sound quality from the new edition is a big difference compared to the old version

anyway just a heads up for the money you won't be disappointed

Yep. I used it wired to controller but since the patch i can use the dongle again, sound quality is amazing. Works perfect with PS4. 7.1 in games, especially BF4 and Outlast, heighten the gaming experience by 10 i believe. Enjoy them!

Can anyone with px22 get both the chat and game audio working?
The diagram on the Turtle Beach website directs you to output chat only to headphones

I bought it under the impression that it would work as a normal headset.

Had a look at the diagram and it's fine and will work with both game and chat at the same time, when you've got the PX22 connected with the amplifier you do only set "output to headphones" as "chat audio" only as this is the sound coming over the USB while game audio is coming over the 3.5mm from the TV/DAC/AMP.

If you connect the headset directly to the PS4 without the inline amp then you set it to all game audio as it's all coming through that 1 3.5mm cable.

@Varik,
It's not really working like that for me. Probably something to do with my odd TV
It's imported and doesn't have the standard audio outputs.

Since you've a headphone connection on the tv you don't need to use the 3.5mm to RCA splitter, just connect the 3.5mm to the side of the TV and the USB to the PS4.

Everything else is down to the TV settings, there will be a volume control for the headphones on the TV and there is one on the in-line amplifier for the headset. Try having the TV headphone sound set high and then reduce the volume on the headset control.

I was thinking about that alright, I've got a 3.5mm extension cable off some old headphones.
I'm already using the headphone output for a home cinema system, guess I'll just swap them out or get a splitter. Cheers man, appreciate your time.

From the looks of it that l/r is a combined left/right channel instead of a normal component connection, that might work.

The older version had a 3.5mm jack on the dongle were you could connect anything else to so that it would work, but the virtual surround was limited to the PS3.

Yeah I was using them at the weekend to play BF4 and Resogun, I used the "shooter" profile from the companion app and BF4 sounds great, they are very comfy and the mic is good too, I can hear my friend perfectly who has a pair as well. They seem to hold a good charge, I got 6-7 hours out of the first charge. Can't fault them for the price really.

For the members here who have this headset whats your opinions so far? I bought the pulse elites from amazon last week and im sending them back tomorrow as the sound and volume quality is shocking, id i want to replace them for the golds but they are out of stock everywhere and the ones on amazon are going for £130!!

I want a headset for the ps3 and ps4 that has an easily swappable dongle and the golds seem the only other choice tbh.
