    I bought this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charger-RAVPower-Desktop-Technology-Smartphones-White/dp/B00HEZMYOO

    Mine was black though, it great for the money.

    As long as you have long charging cables it's great.

    One fast charge port for those emergencies when fast charging is required :P

    Should probably just have started a "Praise the headset" thread there last year.

    People thought I was f**kign mad going on and on and on about it, then low and behold Conovar and a few others picked it up last year and then they wouldn't stop harping on about it.

    It's a €60 headset that is almost on par with a €250+ headset.

    Only difference (really?) being True 7.1 Surround Sound versus VSS.

    I'll be honest, for 2 years I've only been pretending to hear most of ye. :pac:

    I only ever remember you giving out about the headset because your big head broke the hinges on it.

    I'm one of the less salty players on PS4, I just have a low tolerance for the same complaints for 25 months straight when I'm trying to enjoy a video game.

    Dunno where this misconception about me complaining is coming from, if anything one of the things I end up complaining about is whingers and moaners and people talking utter rubbish about "Lag" in PvP

    I've been having a blast since RoI came out.

    Ah man we are only pulling your leg :P

    Nah i dont mind the odd whinge about lag in PvP its PvE lag whinge that annoys me. I was in a patrol on the dreadnaught the night before RoI dropped and a few blues were in with me and we nuked everything. Brought out ultras and all but 2 of them were in a fireteam and everytime they went down they were blaming "The lag", I threw my headset on and just laughed and told them "Nah it had nothing to do with lag, if you didnt stand right beside an ogre that was blasting you then you'd be alive" Cue an epic rant at me about how the lag is ruining the game as I took my Exotics and left to orbit :pac:

    I had to listen to complaints that sticky grenades and "insta-kill shut down supers" (like Nova Bomb) were ruining the game last night in Supremacy. And then without a hint of irony more complaining about roaming supers and tethers moments later -_-

    I ended up going to be bed. Can't be listening to that much negging :P

    EDIT: Just to point out this wasn't anyone in the clan, it was in the wee hours of the morning

    Wait till people start getting walloped by their Nova Bombs / Hammers being deflected back on them by a sword.
    Datto has a clip up on what can and can't be deflected(reflected?). Be interesting to see how effective it is in pvp.
    When I started out and coming from COD/BF type fps' I thought supers were going to be a bad idea. Now I don't.

    Hard to justify using Nova Bomb in this game mode, Stormcaller seems like a a better bet

    Roaming supers are much better in this mode, killing and picking up crests as you go along, unless your lucky and take out all opposition with a nova for a team wipe.

    I totally agree. But my third bounty wants void kills so nova bombs and nothing manacles are my set up this week!

    Word of warning with this, only use fast charge port for phones and tablets that it can take - i.e relatively modern android ones - don't put a PS4 controller in as it messes with battery stats and eventually messes the battery up... (so reddit says!)

    Have you tried the official PS4 headset in the fast charge port yet? :P

    You try first and let us know how you get on... :P

    Fast charge works great on my trusty Nexus 5, and the old Nexus tablet in the house, can't try the newer model on it as the charging port is knackered and it only charges on a QI pad now.... :/
