    Hi guys

    I've a ps4 in bedroom hooked up to a PC monitor with sound coming via the monitors inbuilt speakers and the sound aint great. I'm looking for a good set of headphones that will give me good sound. No microphone as I ain't really into the online stuff.

    Any recommendations??

    Thanks

    As long as you don't want a mic, any pair of headphones or ear buds can plug into the controller and play the sound through them.
    You don't need to shell out then for anything major.

    I'm gonna highjack this thread. Anyone any recommendations for a good headset in general? I currently have the Turtlebeach XP510's, and they're pretty good, but I'd like to keep something in mind down the road. PS4/PC use.

    Have logitech G231's myself. Simple audio Jack for PS4 and has the connection for the mic and audio connection for PC. Simple and effective plug and play. Volume control and mute button. Long cable, about a metre and a half or so.
    I'm no audiophile but they're decent enough, and not too pricey either.

    I got the Sony wireless headset recently and have to say the sound from them is amazing.

    If you are just using them for the PS4 then definitely look at them.

    I got the PS4 Platinum headset and they are so much better than the regular PS4 headset posted above

    They are so comfortable, you barely feel like you're wearing them. Had similar priced Sennheisers before and I nearly had cauliflower ears from them, could just have been my big head but the new PS4 set isn't doing it to me

    The 3D sound is so immersive, I don't think they have any mad noise cancelling ability but I can't hear a thing from other rooms unlike with the regular headset, they also they don't feel as flimsy

    They can be got for €130 inc delivery at Gamestop and I'd put them as a lot more value for money than 70-80 for the regular headset

    I have the older model Astro A50s for my PS4. Excellent headset. Got them after my gold head set broke on me. There really solidly built.

    Do you have a PC hooked up to it, or just using a monitor?

    Would being able to get audio from 2 sources be a benefit.

    Yea I have pc hooked up to monitor too. So I just switch to HDMI when I want to use the PS4 and DVI when going back to PC.

    PC has a good sound system alright but PS4 uses monitor speakers which are not great so I feel like I am missing out when gaming.

    It comes with a console cable and a cable for PC too. Attaches to the controller.

    The official Sony Gold Headphones are very good I think, they come with a wireless receiver, has 7.1 VSS, and, because they're made for the PS4, they have a companion app that lets you adjust the equaliser to your liking.

    They're roughly €85-€100 depending on where you buy them but I've had them for about 2-3 years now -- love them

    They are very comfortable on the ears too.
