![]() So while you can enjoy using the Gold headset completely wirelessly with your PS4 or PS4 without having to plug a cable into your DualShock 4 controller, you can only use the Gold headset in wired mode with all other devices. The second cable is a regular 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable which is completely optional and can be used to connect the Gold headset to virtually any audio device like your computer, smartphone or other mobile devices for listening to audio using of course a wired connection. The unfortunately very short micro-USB to USB cable is only used for charging the headset itself. Moving right along you'll be as thrilled as us to find that very little additional cables are actually included with this wireless headset. The first thing is a black fabric drawstring pouch for protecting your small investment whilst you're out and about, although not very much protection will be offered by this cleaning cloth of a pouch in the way of impact and general crushing of things. Looking into the well packaged and easy to unbox packaging we have got a few items included with the Gold stereo wireless headset. That means that you won't be able to enjoy the Gold's 7.1 virtual surround sound feature or any of the bass boosting functionality when the headset is powered on and wirelessly connected to either a PS4 or a PS3 console. Not only is it aesthetically good looking, but the reasoning behind this concealment is so that you'll be able to use the Gold headset as normal headphones without them looking like they're missing some kind of an attachment.ĭespite its ill-considered name, the Gold headset as you see it is in fact black in color with Sony's signature blue color accenting the headband which creeps around the sides creating a stylish looking trim that is somewhat indicative of the PS4's status light bar.Īnd although the Gold headset was introduced alongside Sony's next-generation gaming console, it will also work wirelessly with the PS3 as well as with a number of other devices using an included audio cable. Its noise canceling microphone is embedded into the left ear cup where chances are you'll never even see the sight of it. Not so much with the Gold headset though. ![]() When you think about the term "headset" you immediately picture something with a microphone boom sticking out the side. The Gold headset looks simplistic yet still highly slick compared to other gaming headsets made by Sony and other competitors, and that is what also helps make it stand out aesthetically. It's all very updated and part of Sony's new design language for accessories it seems. Even though the PS4 is the most cutting-edge gaming console with its angular parallelogram design, the styling of the Gold headset is surprisingly less Sony and more Beats-like in that there are no visible moving parts but instead it's got one fluid clean curvature designed to conceal things like the pivoting ear cup joins and the headband adjustment mechanism. This time however, Sony's Gold headset is quite a significant and welcome departure from previous PlayStation 3 headsets which have all looked a lot like the console they were assigned to represent. ![]() It was all about being bold, hugely bold. When it comes to designing an official gaming console headset, Sony likes to overcomplicate its headsets with layers and all kinds of chunky exterior decorations. ![]()
