    Nah, the Sony Gold, and now the Pulse is probably the best sub €100 headset. If it's like the Gold it does come with two downsides though, poor durability and poor battery life. If you can live with that go for it, if you can't you'll need to stump up a bit more for a more robustly constructed headset.

    I found the New Gold good in both those areas, but all I could compare to at that stage were my old TB XP510's from the PS3 era, and they worked fine for years (got them for like €20 with a few trades ins and a drop in price during sale from €300 to €100). I thought the Gold were an improvement, and again the Pulse are an improvement again.

    Saying that, the Gold were getting close to dying after 6-8 hours, whereas I've only seen the Pulse drop into 1 bar once during the last week or so. And they seem fairly sturdy, but I suppose only time will tell for both.

    Yeah, finding the pulse headset great myself, especially for the price.

    I only ever used the original PS4 headset, but not wirelessly and instead plugged into 3.5mm on my DS4, so no control over volume etc really.

    One thing I find great (and it could have been there on previous headset) is the party chat/game sound mix that you have easy control over.

    It's handy. Pity Sony are dicks and blocked it from use via usb for all non Sony headsets. As a work around on PS4 a lot of headsets used both usb and optical audio simultaneously.

    Sony also blocked access to the highest quality codec for non Sony headsets on PS4.

    Raging I never picked up a controller charging station, also need to pick up a second controller. Hopefully we start to see charging stations come back in

    Smyths say they’re expecting stock this month but no idea when that might be.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,071 ✭✭✭el Fenomeno


    Smyth's have updated the headset to say in stock between Dec 11 - Dec 18

    Dualsense Charging station has been changed as well from a helpful "December 2020" to "TBC 2020" which seeing as we're already in December, the last month of 2020 you'd wonder why they changed it.

    The fact they changed something is good meaning they may have some update soon.

    What are folks using the USB C port for? Seems like a waste for me, at the mo at least, so looking at getting an adapter to turn into another normal port, something like this I assume will work?

  • Registered Users Posts: 26,147 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    Well at least 2021 makes more sense. Looks like I'm boxing up my dual sense and gifting it to somebody then. Ah well.

    I can live without it for now. Great battery in these new controllers, for now, anyway.

    Most Galaxy phones come with that type of adapter in the box if you have a recent Galaxy phone.

    I thought non official chargers are supposed to ruin the controller no? Always wanted a longer charger but didn’t want to end up with a faulty controller.

    Never heard that before. There shouldn’t be a difference

    A 2nd controller is always handy.
    If he plays with friends then a headset(may have one already).


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,830 ✭✭✭✭Taltos


    I’d also suggest PS+ for online gaming, and with PS5 there are 5 to 6 A class games that come with it.
    Normally around 60E, but it might be on special.

    Normally that’s enough, there is also a free weeks trial of PSNow giving access to a large back catalog of games. But no rush into signing up for that, again around 60E a year.

    Beyond two as mentioned above a 2nd controller, and a headset (wired plugs into the controller) there is not much more that jumps out.

    I ordered mine from DID couple of weeks ago when it said they had it “In Stock” on their website. but I cancelled it today tho as rang them and said no ETA on when they’ll actually have any.

    Decided to purchase the Steelseries P7 instead.
