I would like to hear more from Astro users (Gaming)

While any headset works with the PS4 (provided it has a 3.5mm jack), this one is highly rated, and on sale for over 50% off today only. Never used it myself, but them reviews...

I saw that sale and I am tempted.

On the other hand, I'm invested in my Astros, and they've always worked great with my 360 and PS3.

Note: they have the simulated surround sound that RC mentioned above, but I've never had a problem with it.

I have the A40s wired version with a Mixamp (last gen). I had a friend with the new wireless astros, and I could barely hear him in Destiny.

I had a ton of echo in Destiny (I don't think this is a feature, Xenos.) That dissipated some when I figured out how to make chat headset only (not blended)--this is a specific setting on your PS4 that is not the default. (Thanks, Bones.)

What I found most troubling on the PS4 is that the key Mixamp feature--the ability to adjust the mix between game sounds and chat audio didn't seem to work well. The game audio seemed to stay the same unless I turned it all the way off. (The latter might not be correct--I kept meaning to test it when I wasn't trying to shoot things, but all in all I just remember not being very happy with the way the sound was coming out.) It may have been because other people didn't have their headset only setting on. I don't know, but like others, I found the chat in Destiny less than optimal at times.
