Sony Platinum (PS4) wireless headset review

Integrates into the PlayStation 4’s interface and features ; Sturdy Steel design

Uncomfortable ; Drastic differences in sound quality among surround settings ; 3D Audio features only work on select games

The Sony Platinum are nothing special. Other than the features on the interface side of things, the restrictions placed on the 3D surround capabilities and uncomfortable design hold back the headset.

Sony PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset

The PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset from Sony offers a comfortable fit and strong audio performance for PS4 gaming.

Very good sound quality. Comfortable. Solid virtual surround effect.

Only works wirelessly with PlayStation 4. Underwhelming sub-bass.

Sony's Platinum Wireless Headset for the PlayStation 4 is a premium-feeling gaming headset that offers very good sound quality and a comfortable fit. It doesn't have quite as much low-end power as it could, and its platform-specific design means you...

PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset Review: Short of Greatness

The Platinum headset delivers consistently good — sometimes even great — audio for both games and music. It's a beautiful peripheral that fits fairly comfortably and travels well. It's a shame, then, that its most important features are so compromised....

Great sound for games and music ; Collapsible and portable ; Attractive design

Unreliable wireless features ; Insubstantial preset options

The PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset offers great sound and a slick design, but its features are half-baked.

Sony PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset review

Simply the best gaming headset you can buy, particularly if you play on PS4

Crisp, balanced sound ; Comfortable ; Great PS4 integration ; 3D Audio on some games

Virtual Surround Sound isn't great ; Mic picks up background noise ; Fiddly buttons

The headline features fall a little flat, but the core sound quality more than makes up for that

PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset review: Is this the best PS4 headset money can buy?

Sony goes premium with its surround sound, 3D audio gaming headset, but is it worth the money?

Excellent sound for price point ; Comfortable for long gaming sessions ; 3D audio is a game-changer

Sub-optimal microphone setup ; Another USB port taken up on your PS4

The Platinum headset isn’t Sony’s first 7.1 virtual surround-sound headset. That would be the Gold wireless headset, which launched a couple of years ago. If you’re on a tighter budget, the Gold headset is still definitely worth looking at. The chief...

Consumer review (ao.com)

Nice but expensive for what it is

"Headphones are fine, like the way they integrate with the PS4, but don't understand why you can't control the volume from the PS4 .... I mean they're designed to work intimately together .... seems like a design oversight by Sony to me. The PS4 app is...

Ease to use

Expensive

Consumer review (argos.co.uk)

Solid headphones with great sound clarity.

Really impressed with the quality of these headphones and the sound is immaculate at the side of other, more expensive pairs on the market. The only thing worth mentioning is the connectivity is sometimes a little temperamental and have to unplug the...

PS4 Platinum Headphones

Cannot get them to work with my PS4 and Samsung 4K HD television. Downloaded the Sony Headphone App through the PlayStation Store and followed the instructions thereafter and still can't get them to work! There's obviously a software glitch
