I use the PS4 Gold headset and I love it.

We got Gold headsets at launch, and still have them to this day. Mine's been chewed up, dropped, stepped on (snapped in half), crushed, and the Aux cable was chewed... and it still works. I've patched it up with duct tape, and I've never felt like it is any less reliable (and it works fine on the Xbone).

Sound quality is great, cancels a lot of noise and being able to adjust game and chat volume on the fly is very nice. I don't know if I can go back to wired headsets now haha.

If I had anything bad to say about it, it would be that it has the same shitty sony rechargeable batteries as the dual shock controllers so you will charge it a lot if you don't have a super long usb cable.

The neat thing about the Gold headset is that if it's drained of battery, you can simply plug it into the controller with the Aux cable and continue to use it. Sure, it'll drain the controller's battery a bit faster, but it's a good last-resort thing.

$70 is a neat price, but if you want a more advanced headset, Sony just launched the Platinum headset today:

$160, so it's a bit on the pricier side, but we'll be getting one soon, so I'll let you know if it's worth the upgrade.
