[@georgegmarino]

I’ve got a very specific question I’m hoping IGN or someone can answer. Do you know what happens when you turn off the 3D audio in the setting menu? Does all sound get outputted through each earcup? I’m deaf in one ear, so sadly I won’t be able to benefit from the 3D audio, but if it can output all sound through each side, I can still use the headset without missing out on half the audio. Please do a poor half deaf person a favour and let me know! Thanks!

[@owenjackson2388]

Ign shown us another demo of the interface a few days ago, where they touched on the settings of the 3d audio, maybe its worth saying a look, pausing the vid on certain segments and reading the descriptions buddy.

Because they will be supported via PlayStation bluetooth makes them worth it. No other wireless gaming headphones are supported by Sony, that makes this headset without any competitors. I would say the headset isn't bad for 99,99$ because some wireless earbuds cost more.

[@MatthewMora]

I'm really enjoying these on my PS4 and can't wait to try them out on the PS5. So far they're amazing for the price and I can only imagine they would get better with the PS5s Tempst Engine. I've been told that if you choose the correct HRTF (head-related transfer function) preset that closely matches your own HRTF then it'll be hard to tell the difference between the game audio and real life. I will definitely be testing these out vs other wireless headsets once my PS5 comes in.

[@DonJoeGames]

So these headsets works with the 3d presets on the PS4?? Cuz I'm not getting a PS5 until the new GOW comes out.

[@KoreGameplay]

On the PS4 the platinums are hands down better in sound quality, overall volume and audio range. I’m holding off to try them on the PS5 and compare there. So far if you own the platinums these feel like a downgrade in every department.

[@ImpatientTurtle]

Can we get a comparison with previous sony headsets? I have the gold and Cerny said that the tempest 3d audio will work with any headphones. So is this a real step up from the gold or platinums?

[@caleb_c]

I’m not 100% so don’t quote me on this, but I believe this headphones are specifically designed for it, and the gold headset isn’t. Also idk ab the gold headset bc I had one but it broke years ago, but the pulse 3D headset has noise cancelling microphones, along with a few other features.

[@caleb_c]

Also I think it’s just an upgrade in technology in general, like going from one iPhone to the next but obviously not as much that
