That point changes slightly when you’re playing a game that uses 3D surround sound instead of simulated 7.1 – again, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is the only one that offers it at the moment – and sound effects do have a better presence thanks to 3D Audio’s ability to create “100 virtual speakers”. Footsteps and gunfire imparted a general sense of directionality, but they didn’t have the same precision on Sony’s PlayStation Platinum as we’ve heard on other headsets. Of course, that being said, there are headsets out there that offer more pronounced surround sound – one area that we felt the Platinum’s could’ve improved upon. Generally speaking this is probably one of the best-sounding gaming headsets on the market today. In fact, dollar-for-dollar or pound-for-pound, it’s tough to think of a headset that offers better value for your money. These actually make for a pretty good pair of replacement headphones if you want something to wear while just sitting on the couch watching the TV. Listening to movies and music may not be the headset’s intended purpose, but it’s certainly no slouch in either of those areas. The low-end comes on strong, but never overbearing, and it really shines with mids and highs. Sony’s Platinum Headset is a surprisingly balanced piece of kit. The metal, plastic and pleather coalesce into a comfortable – if a bit obtuse – pair of cans. That said, while the headphones work on mobile devices, they probably wouldn’t be the pair of cans you’d take to the gym or elsewhere and thus maybe the design won’t bother you as much as it did us. The oversized earcups and double band bridge give it a sort of monstrous quality, like they were designed for a giant’s head rather than regular people. On the debit side though, these are far from the most stylish-looking headphones we’ve ever worn. We found that we could wear the headphones for about two-hour increments before we had to take them off for a breather. If you’re looking for an exact number, the Platinum Headset weighs 318.2g.įinally, the earpads themselves are made from a comfortable pleather material that gets a bit warm after some use, but doesn’t have a terrible amount of clamping force either. The headphones fold up neatly, perfect if you need to take them with you, and are a medium weight – not too heavy, but not so light that they feel breakable, either. Beneath the top band is a rubber strap that cradles the top of the noggin, and then all the rest is plastic. The top band consists of two metal bars that offer a lot of rigidity and hold the headset firmly in place. The Platinum Wireless is an interesting mix of plastic, metal and rubber. Unfortunately Australia didn't catch a price break in the last few years, but could receive one during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. When it first came out, this headset was expensive ($159/£129/AU$259) but has since dropped to a much more reasonable $117 in the US and £114 in the UK. It's true that the Sony PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset is getting a bit long in the tooth at this point (it was released back in 2017), but it remains one of the best headsets compatible with the PlayStation 4. ![]() Sony Playstation 4 Platinum Headset (Download) at Amazon for $199.90. ![]()
