According to our gaming headset expert
The Plantronics RIG 800HS proves that wireless headsets aren't just made for PC gamers. Connect the USB receiver to your PS4 and you'll never be dependent on a cable to connect your controller. With a full battery, the headset will last for 24 hours. Battery almost empty? After 30 minutes of charging, you can play for another 3 hours. The noise-canceling microphone filters background noises, so that your orders and battle cries can be heard loud and clear. When you want to stop communication, just raise the microphone to automatically mute it. The frame is exceptionally light, meaning less ear irritation during long gaming sessions.

The receiver may feel a bit awkward to set up, but installation is otherwise easy and everything works perfectly.
With many headphones your ears get hot, after a while it starts to "push" and the comfort is hard to find. These headphones are great.
The volume level is also fine. Some headphones are very 'soft' on the PS4 and essential sounds like hit markers just drop out. Not with these headphones.
Switching the mic on and off works very well, as does switching volume (between eg mic and game audio).
Battery lasts a very long time.
Sometimes I find other players come in too softly (can't understand them) but I don't know if this is due to their mic or the volume level of this headset.
Finally, if you look in the mirror with the set on, you probably start laughing. Aesthetically, all these gaming headsets are a joke, but maybe at 30 I'm not quite the target audience.
Highly recommended and well worth the money!
