I still have mine after 2 years. I can say they’re still comfy

Is audio quality good for 80€?

[@riadahmed2575]

Is mic quality good

[@sreeram5725]

Mine are gone after 1.5 years

[@Oransi_]

bro has been throwing it too much(jk) no but is the mic good or even avarage

[@kapnkrunch6833]

​@@Oransi_the microphone is the worst part about them in all honesty because they broadcast everything around you to the point folks can hear my neighbour's dinner conversation. Next would be the compatibility issue as they don't have Bluetooth and need something with a USB port or an aux port. Lastly the lack of settings are a problem as they can only be adjusted from the ps5 and you can't change the fact that the mute/unmute button overwrites the one on the controller which means you take you're hand off the controller to do so which could be the difference between life and death. The headband just snapped after 2 years but that's okay 2 years is enough. They served me well and will serve you well only for ps5 use for a price that's maybe 30 % too much given the bad microphone in the sense of broadcasting you're surroundings lack of configuration and use on other devices. The battery life is decent though. I'll not be buying them again but I suppose if you don't care about you're teamates hearing you're surroundings and you're using them only for you're ps5 they might be worth it. However I will definitely spend 30% more to get bluetooth, compatibility and a decent microphone. On some steelseries as I bought my brother wired steelseries for half the price and I can shout over his shoulder and no one can hear a thing but they can hear him just fine with all the benefits such as 3d audio comfortibilty. The 30% extra will just be for steelseries with wireless functionality.

Pretty good headset imo but for me and some others I know who have bought these the headset ends up just falling apart around the ear cups. Things such as the leather peeling off and the spongey bits just kinda nearly falling out lol. Ig if you take care of them properly though this shouldn't be an issue. (I have had mine for around 2 years)

The word “Dongle” lmao

[@xxx_fabkobe_xxx1169]

In all due respect it’s a cool design, but everything everyone is saying is true about how terrible the build quality is. Be cautious about which headphones you buy this holiday season too. Something to note is that other headphones vs the ps5 headphones when playing don’t get nearly as loud as the ps5 ones due to the PS ones having an equalizer option over regular headphones! It’s really upsetting hope Sony fixes this

[@RealestBruh]

I recommend getting a mic or connecting the dual pulse with an aux cord because your mic sounds muffled if connected with the wireless usb

[@Tha_AntiChrist]

They sound great and function well I wish they had some kinda side tone so I can hear how loud my own voice is so I don’t yell. Also everyone says the the ear cups are comfy I don’t think they are and the rubber on the headband isn’t soft enough either it only touches the very top of my head and creates a pressure point. The headband of the steelseries is where it’s at with it being elastic and adjustable.
