[Awsomethesecond]

Whats the best headset for PS4? Any headset as long as its good, and under 100$ If it doesent have surround, i will be using a product like Razer Surround to add 7.1.

Do PS4 games support 7.1?

This is what I always recommend 

[Awsomethesecond]

Not sure if they do, ill take a look at those headphones right now

[Awsomethesecond]

Just looked at those headphones, have you used them? Can i use Razer Surround on them? What are some alternatives.

[Awsomethesecond]

What about the HyperX Cloud 2 or Revolver? I know how to get the surround to work on PS4 on the 2's not sure about the revolvers though

I currently use HyperX Cloud 2. As it brings all the Accessories required to connect with the PS4 and Xbox one controller. 

[Awsomethesecond]

Do you use it on PS4

[tslammer99]

I use it on PS4, and the mic works well.

[Awsomethesecond]

Even the 7.1?

[tslammer99]

Sorry to say it but there are no games that support 7.1 at least not for headphones, you can check out  Turtle beach Elite XP 800 that have a built-in sound card that convert the sound from DTS to 7.1. But getting DTS is coming out at 5.1. Just get a sound bar with 5.1 or 7.1 DTS and you will be set. Buying a headphones the controller doesn't support it, it only does stereo sound. Now if you connect it from the PS4 to the sound bar you will get the DTS 7.1 - 5.1 surround sound.

I watched video on how to use it through USB, so ps4 doesent even support 7.1 through

[tslammer99]

You can try the only USB on the from of the PS4, but I have a wireless 7.1 Headset and downs even support it. But doesn't hurt to try with other brands.

Ive read in places that PS4 does support 7.1 on headsets. How are the TurtleBeach Stealth 500p's? Or the Afterglow Krals.

[tslammer99]

My brother in law uses Turtle Beach Ear Force Stealth 500P and he loves them, they have 7.1 but he says it's more of the DTS and it converts it to 7.1.

I have heard they are fragile, what do you thinks better, HyperX Cloud 2, or 500p's still wondering bout the afterglow krals

[tslammer99]

From what I have read afterglows Krals are not bad, also saw a review on youtube, they seem decent, worth checking out.

Ok what should i do? Alot of bad reviews on the 500ps, the HyperX 2s arent completly supported on ps4.

[tslammer99]

So I reached out to a good friend of mine, and he talks about amazing things about the Turtle Beach Ear Force Stealth 500P, but he said the biggest issue he finds is the following; Whenever the volume is down the sound breaks and you can hear a squeaky, high pitch noise coming from the speakers, also the mic doesn't have any noise cancelling so when he plays with friends or other people they all hear what is going on either someone is talking, or another TV is on. It is very sensitive mic that pick up any noise. The plus side of things is that the mic is detachable. Also squeezes your ears to the point they start hurting after an hour of use.

 

As for the Afterglow Kral, They look cool, the issues that he found with them is that first off they are heavy, not enough padding to support the weight of the headset, the foam inside are like a ear shape, that has been poorly designed that doesn't cover the ear fully and let's sound escape. The bass boost feature makes the sound muddy. This is also strictly a stereo headset not DTS no surround sound. 

 

He said that you should check out Astro A30.

Those? Does he recommend anything else? PS Gold Headset? 

[tslammer99]

If you want DTS 7.1 and for the price Astro A30 are the way to go. Plus they feel solid. I personally use Astro A50 for gaming on PC but they also work for PS4 and they are beautiful.

[Awsomethesecond]

Those are a little over 100$ looking for under 100, or slightly over

[tslammer99]

Haha, I know that is why I didnt say anything earlier, but check out Astro A30 well worth the price.
