If you live and a noisy household this is not everyone will hear the background noise

And finally, when you turn your mic up above "Too Low" in the party chat settings your mic will begin to echo background noise and your voice into a loud continuous loop

For PC use it doesn't seem to do a great job of getting rid of background noise.

but It picks up way to much background noise

The ear cups are shaped in a specific way to fit ears making them only sit one way, the ear cups also have a taper to them so they only seal and block out background noise if they sit that one way

My friend also bought this headset and I can confirm that chat audio quality is much more clear and without any background noise or distortion

Great seller A+

That aside though, the microphone is the worst I have ever came accrossed, its got to a point where I can't even use it with friends because its so bad, every, and I mean EVERY little noise is picked up on the headset, your voice will sound muffled, and it won't be as clear as with those headsets with mic sticks

Cracked in the same spot as my last 2 about an inch above the ear piece where all the pressure is

I could deal with hearing an echo of myself - annoying as that may be

have delay in sound control (1 sec) while the Golds will click as fast as you want and these buttons are really cheap feelingwhile the next version may fix the sound feedback that comes from the speakers DIRECTLY back into the mic hopefully they fix the VSS sounds being off.also volume is to low only sounds right on 8 9 or 10I will say these feel very nice on the headIm playing on a PS PRO with the MG28UQ 4K gaming monitor.

Now when my hubby plays his games little Fitz isn't stressed out and scared c:

Beautiful 7.1 channel sound that can reach surprisingly high volumes, sturdy (I tend to be a little careless with my electronics, and there has yet to be an issue with these headphones.

The fact that it's a Sony headset makes it super appealing as I prefer simplicity

Never had issues with the gold’s these are just slightly sturdier gold’s
