My only experience using headphones is with the Sony Pulse Elite Edition headphones. They are really good all around though. The sound quality is fantastic, you get 6 different pre-sets for different genres of games and movies, you can swap out pre-sets you don't use for more specific pre-sets (if you download the Pulse app from the PS Store), they have all the functions you could want (like adjusting the balance between game and chat audio and 7.1 virtual surround sound), they look really nice and they aren't too expensive compared to most headphones you can buy.

Strangely enough though, the Sony Pulse headphones don't work on the PS4 at the moment (even though Sony said all PS3 headphones would work on the PS4 at launch, before they changed their mind). However, my son's old Turtle Beach headphones work perfectly though. Good job Sony!! Way to go supporting your own products and fan base.

If you're talking about a set of headphones for the X360/XOne, then I've got nothing for you. Sorry...

 

I have Turtle Beach x12s and they work fine, for a cheap $60 headset! They especially work good for an amateur gamer like myself. It's really all personal preference and how much $$ you're willing to spend.

For you, go with the Astro a30s if you're looking at them. Astros are good quality I hear.

 

This is true. The Pulse Elites do work in stereo (not surround), if you connect them to the Dual Shock 4 controller with a 35mm cable and set the headphone settings to "All Audio". I'm glad I found this information, as I find it difficult to play games without my headphones. I've gotten used to them and I can't ever go back. I...I simply can't. My gaming life would never be the same.

On an another headphones related note, my friend pre-ordered some TB P4C headphones for $30 and when he picked up his PS4 pre-orders, the guy at EB Games gave him the PX4's instead. He paid $30 for a $200 pair of headphones. What a lucky bastard, eh?
