So i am looking for a wireless headset that can give me the best surround sound quality and was looking into the logitec 933 but then realised it only gives stereo for ps4.

I wanna know what you guys are using and what's your recommendation ? No budget restrictions.

Sony's own Platinum headsets la

Audeze mobius

Are you using it ? Where did you get it from

According to Audeze it's stereo only for ps4

Im not. But i saw it in hk and was really really close to buying.

Edit: sorry man, i guess i shouldnt kacau. Im PC masterace and amateur audiophile, so the audeze really appeals to me.

Have also come across steelseries arctis (which might be 2ch only too for ps4) if you wanna watch reviews.

Which was why i started this thread. so bloody hard to find a good pair of surround sound wireless headphone for PS4

I am using ss arctis pro wireless..

Yeah i've been contemplating this one also....hows the quality of the sound & surround ? are you satisfied?

I was reading on Astro A50 before also but there isn’t much surround reviews on it so any owners can share their thoughts on this?

those with USB dongle won't give you true surround
all are simulated surround at best
most non-Sony brand wireless headset are only stereo

you'll need those that comes with the optical dock for true surround experience.

G933 got sold here in msia? Last time only can find g633

Hw bout Razer thresher/razer nari??

Then I should assume the Steelseries Arctis wireless pro has the criteria to process true surround since the USB transmit unit has optical in for the PS4 or PS4 pro.correct me if I’m wrong .🙏😊

so those sony playstation headsets are simulating surround from stereo source?
Always thought the headsets had proper surround (never tried them myself, though)

yes, it will process surround from the optical connection.

I'm using the GameDac myself, paired with a Sennheiser HD598, works very well...Play Rainbow 6, Titanfall 2 with it, love the surround.

It isn't particularly powerful though, as it won't provide enough power to use my Hifiman HE400s (Sound is damn low vs the HD598 which is much much louder)

eh, u dunna meh? i tot u got sony headset before during ps3 one. it only produce virtual surround

never bought.
ps3 time was not using headphone, was just using speakers and bluetooth earpiece for chat

I think my A50 I bought after the PS4 came out

Options for true surround sound for PS4 (WIRELESS )

1. Steelseries Arctis Pro
2. Razer Thresher Ultimate
3. Razer Nari Ultimate

i'm contemplating which one to get

The GameDac is meant for wired headsets only right? Oh HifiMan ...... yes that piece is power hungry....looks like you’re an audiophile + gamer yeah ? Hehehe

yeah, wired headsets only.
i suppose theoretically you could plug in a 3.5mm ended bluetooth transmitter and convert the gamedac into a wireless one, but you'd most probably lose out on the surround as I don't think bluetooth supports surround.

bluetooth doesn't support surround, will be stereo only

and worst of all is the audio lag, depends on the BT transmitter and your BT headphone used, some games are unplayable especially those heavy on audio cue

if really wanna use BT, look for those aptX Low Latency certified/compatible sets

that's why you don't see any BT headset for consoles

I used one for movie watching, even with aptX LL, the lag is still noticeable but bearable, compare to the non aptX sets which are horrible for both gaming and movies

TL;DR Bluetooth are only good for musics, not gaming nor movies

Very good share.noted & appreciated

Haiz... my 5 yr old white PS Gold wireless is dying on me

First the skin breaking apart, getting white flakes all over my ear and hair whenever I use it, so had to peel them all off

Then the folding hinge broke in half, used superglue to glue them back, now it's not foldable

and recently the batt is behaving weirdly, few occasion when plugged in wasn't charging
and the batt life is getting worse, now full charge only can last me about 3 hours of gaming before flashing red

last few use I experience some audio drop as well, I think it's time I buried this baby for good


Still contemplating to go back to Sony PS Gold/Platinum wireless or not, since the current one is giving me lots of issue, but their sound quality is great, and cheapest among the PS4 wireless headsets
I've heard some owners of the new PS Gold headset that's non-foldable also snapped in half in the middle? which I doubt fixable by superglue...

the rest of good wireless headset also kinda expensive
eyeing Arctis 7, which got very all round reviews, but cost around RM700 locally

tempted to get Razer Nari wireless last March but after read some negative review I go for hyperX cloud revolver s. it's wired but also support 7.1 dolby surround using usb port. after tested it it works the same as sony platinum headset which only virtual surround. for pc the dolby works. today i'm getting creative sound blasterX g6 dac. still wired tho

had one Razer wireless from my X360 days, had some bad experience with it, especially the batt life, which is piss poor, and their poor support as well
anyway, won't be getting another Razer stuffs from them

if I have a man cave, I'll go for wired, but unfortunately my setup doesn't allow it
so have no choice to stick to wireless

was looking at Steelseries Arctis 7
but damn! local seller are selling damn expensive, all RM700+ onward!
very tempted to import from Amazon, which will cost me around RM550+ only
but then Sony PS Gold is RM400, almost half the price of local Arctis 7
haiz... the dilemma

lucky my man cave is my bedroom plus i'm using gaming monitor for my ps4, pc n switch so wired is ok for me

Understand that ketam now a days very strict. Audio equipment import is 15% duty + 6% SST. So is that RM550+ inclusive of everything?

it's actually USD151 inclusive of shipping & "ketam" clearance
that's around RM620 by current exchange rate

since I still have some Amazon store credits, mine will come to around RM550

Think I'll hold till Amazon Prime member sales day in July, usually they have massive discount

I'll use my other BT headphone with TV for the time being then

5 years is about the time those PU leather starts to break and battery life degrade so don't feel bad. i think you already got your investment worth la.

As for me = i am actually using the Razer Thresher ultimate - awesome so far , no issues. optical out from ps4 straight to the receiver and loving it. I was supposed to get the NARI ultimate but it wasn't released yet in MY last year...lol...

I'm using the original 1st Gen Sony wireless 7.1 headset, pleather peeling off like crazy.

yeah, that's one of the reason I hesitant to get another set of headset with faux leather, all of my headsets using faux leather will start peeling off after a few years

I've seen replacement for the ear pads at aliexpress. But they don't have any replacement for the headband, hence it's not gonna make any difference.

For the headband, I use those badminton wrapping tape (the ones we use to wrap the handle of rackets).
Works pretty well on my Audio Technica M50.

maybe ts can try this too. looks good from the review tho. plus the earcup looks comfortable for long gaming session

very very difficult to find locally
no official local support also
warranty claim will be risky tho

hahaha yeah too bad still not in MY market yet. but it looks pretty good from the review.

i thought gamers hideout is bringing this brand in

dunno about GH, but the brand presence is here
but not the model

a lot of brands didn't bring in their high end premium model
makes it very hard for us to source for it locally

Anyway, anyone tried Logitech G933 before?

it's a lot more easier to find compared to other brand
online reviews also not too bad

that one doesnt work with ps4 right ? if im not mistaken you dont get the 5.1

wondered why nobody here suggested sennheiser

https://en-us.sennheiser.com/ps4-ps3-gaming-headset

yeah, I've dig around a bit, it can work with PS4, just you won't get surround
you'll get stereo only, so it's a no go for me

none of it wireless

oppss

Arctic Pro Wireless, Im using the one before this, with the addition of Bluetooth, I think its 840 iinm, tried a few others, in terms of setting up, usability, comfort for wearing long hours and battery life this is good. You're given 2 batteries, use one and the other is charging at the control box, just swap when it runs low. Plus it switches on automatically when you switch on your PS4 and off auto too. Buttons are few and easy to find since you cant see. Its virtual surround too.

So cheap at 840 only?? everywhere I search it's all 1K++

mind to share where you get that price?

RM840 where ? sure or not ? i was about to buy this before i got my Razer Thresher Ultimate

I'm using a G933 on my ps4, great sound but no 7.1 which I am ok with but there's the issue with the headset slipping off if you move too hard.

Yup. good for PC but not PS4. What's the point of buying such an expensive headset without surround ?

err Sorry guys, I meant the model is 840 iinm, threw the box and the model is not written anywhere, anyway it's the one with the Bluetooth right bf the current model.

Edit:
Yup Steelseries 840 is the model
https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/siberia-840

If i were to change to another wireless gaming headset, I would still go for Steelseries. my 2 sens
