I never really considered sound as an important area to spend money on with console gaming. I own a Logitech G35 7.1 surround sound headset for my PC, and I absolutely love it. Being a PC enthusiast gamer the ~ $125 price tag was justified at the time, and it was worth it considering how much it added to the experience. I built my current PC a few years ago when I felt the PS3 and Xbox 360 were overdue for next gen, and before that I had never thought about getting a quality headset for console gaming.
Enter the next gen systems with PS4 and Xbox One. What really spurred me to want to look into console gaming headsets was the fact that the PS4 makes it so easy. I just had one requirement- something with a 3.5mm jack to plug into the DS4. I did some research and found lots of people commenting on their current Turtle Beach headsets and how many were working fine on the PS4. My Logitech G35 actually works fine on PS4 plugged into USB, but the sound quality of the G35 in stereo is not great. I also wanted something that would work with the Xbox One as well. The X1 controller has a proprietary headset jack on the controller now, but they announced that they would be releasing an adapter. So I aimed for a Turtle Beach pair for PS4 compatibility, future Xbox One compatibility, and based off of all the positive reviews I had read about them.
The PX22 fit the bill. Its a universal headset with an inline amp that is advertised to work on PS4 and Xbox One (audio only), so the flexibility was a plus. I also snagged it for a great price, on sale for $55 (retails for $80). For the price, I really don't think you could find a better performing gaming headset. For the PS4, I'm just plugging the detachable 3.5mm cable from the headset directly into the DS4 controller. It works great, you can adjust audio levels in the PS4 OS. For the Xbox One, I'm using a Digital to Analog converter from the optical connection in the back of the console, and I'm using the inline amp and plugging the 3.5mm headphone cable into the DAC. I'm getting game audio, and the headset comes with an Xbox 360 chat cable that plugs into the inline amp (and then into the 360 controller) that I'm assuming will work with the yet released Xbox One adapter. So I will be covered for chat in the future, no worries there.
SOUND QUALITY:
The sound quality of this headset really blew me away. I wasn't expecting much honestly, I had read mixed reviews on the sound quality before purchasing. Honestly, after hearing this headset first hand I do not understand the negative reviews at all. The sound quality on Xbox One using the inline amp is outstanding. The directional sound is incredible in Forza 5, I can hear cars coming up from behind for the pass, and I can hear which of my wheels is losing traction. I've found that increasing the bass slightly on the inline amp gives the best mix. The bass is excellent on these headphones, its much more hard hitting than the bass on my Logitech G35s even at the default setting. The clarity of sound is also very good, much more clean than any headphones I've used previously.
On the PS4 plugging into the DS4, I've found that the sound quality does not suffer at all without using the inline amp. Its still just as awesome, you just lose the ability to alter treble and bass and mic volume. What's great is that the DS4 basically makes these into a wireless headset, since all you need to do is plug into the controller. I've used these on AC4, NBA 2K14 and Killzone Shadow Fall and have been really impressed. I'm hearing lots more detail in AC4 including footsteps, rustling of leaves and bushes, and the ambient music soundtrack that I didn't even realize was there before listening through these headphones. They really shine for a shooter like Killzone Shadow fall, the amazing directional sound adds to the immersion and also helps you play better.
I also tried these on my PC to compare to my G35 7.1 pair, and I was really impressed with the results. Despite the fact that these are only stereo, I actually felt like the directional sound was better on the PX22s than the G35. Its probably because the overall sound quality is just better. The bass is especially noticeable, makes the explosions and rumbling tank sounds in BF4 even more immserive.
Overall, I'm really impressed with the sound quality.
ABOUT WIRES:
The PX22s are a wired headset, and depending on how you are using them, there can be a lot of wires going on. With the PS4 its essentially wiress with just the headphones connecting to the DS4. However on Xbox One, once the adapter releases my setup will be the headset plugged into the inline amp, which is plugged into the DAC from the optical cable out the back of the console with a USB split at the end plugged into the console's USB port, and then also an additional chat cable from the inline amp leading to the X1 controller adapter. Its really only an extra cable with the chat cable, but those who hate lots of wires should probably steer clear. On PC you would need to plug the inline amp into a USB port, and use a headphone and mic splitter to plug into your sound card. Its more annoying than a simple USB headset like I have with the G35, but its not that much of a mess. I think the complaints about all the wires are overblown...setup is really simple, and all of the options allow this headset to be truly universal.
BUILD QUALITY:
I've seen a lot of complaints about build quality. I'm really not sure why. I think my G35s are better built quality for sure, but I also paid over double what I paid for the PX22s. I don't find the build quality of the PX22s to be bad at all, the material used on the ear pieces feel fine against my ears, the headband has leather coverings, and the mic feels pretty solid. The wiring is relatively thick and doesnt tangle easily. I also don't have any problems with the headset being tight as other reviewers have said, it feels just fine on my head and is perfectly comfortable.
TL;DR
Excellent sound quality, works on PC, PS4, and Xbox One for audio with chat in the future. Directional sound is the best I've heard from a stereo headset. Comfortable fit, wires might be a turn off for some. For the price, I'm really happy with this headset.
Background:
I used to have a Bluetooth headset that I use on my ps3 and mostly my phone, since it was starting to break. I needed a new headset, better safe than sorry. But on top of that, I wanted a couple of upgrades which are, game audio, adjustable game and chat volume, mute option, adjustable bass, and 3.5mm mobile phone compatibility. I am thinking to upgrade to a ps4, (I am going to buy a optical digital to 3.5mm adapter if that will be the case.)
In other words, I pretty much wanted to buy a headset that is easy to setup, universal, wired and no need of buying extra adapters to make it work on the devices I needed this to work with.
Review:
I had this headphone for a day and I feel pretty satisfied with it, it has all the features I want.
Pros(that I personally enjoy):
•Over ear (I'm a fan of over-ear headphones)
•Adjustable bass and treble
•Adjustable game and chat
•Mute option
•Doesn't pickup background noise (as well as my breathing)
•Comfortable on the top of the head
•Noise canceling
•Able to hear in-game sounds (So you don't have to disturb other people that can be living with you as well as for a better gaming experience.)
•Compatible with my phone via the 3.5mm jack by removing the headset with the amplifier.
•The chat boost feature helped a lot while playing competitive games
•Bendable microphone;it feels like you are trying to bend a desk-lamp (which honestly feels satisfying)
•Fits my large, roundish head and it doesn't feel like breaking
•Top of the headphone gives it the feel of a baseball
•I hear lots of "hidden sounds" that are in the games that I am playing which nobody could've noticed if you play with the sound output to your TV, it can help with a lot of multiplayer games.
Cons(That I have experienced within a day of use):
•My teammates are complaining that my mic sounds too low, even with the mic set to 5 on the ps3. (Due to how low it is, the "small mic" on the slider of the amplifier is pretty much useless.)*
•The aux cord that came with the headphones which connects to the amplifier is too small for me
•The hearing yourself feature while chatting works, but too low to even notice (It is a con for me because I live with other people and because of how good the noise canceling is, I can't even hear myself, so you may talk too loud.)
•Headphones don't feel comfortable on my ears after 3 hours of use because of the way my ears are shaped, however, I can play at least 3 hours with it without getting a break from the headphones
•Ears get hot when you get into competitive moments in a game
•The material inside the earpads aren't comfortable.
•A lot of bass makes the audio quality bad (I am a huge fan of bass)
•The cord of the headset if you want to use this on mobile only could've been longer by a few inches so the cord won't feel short while walking
Sound Quality:
Sound Quality is average, even with the Treble and bass boost enchantments. I don't know if it is just me, but when the treble is sent to fully max, you can hear some cracks if you pay attention to the sound, however, if you put it down a little bit from the max, you don't hear the cracks anymore.
The sound feels a bit "dirty" rather than "clean." This isn't an issue with the RCA since I also notice this while watching some videos with my phone. It is still to the point where it isn't annoying at least.
So I have tried to sit and leave these headphones on my ear for an hour and started to ask and answer my own about how it feels when wearing this on my head:
Q: Does this feel comfortable on my ears?
A: To some extent, however, due to the way my ears are shaped, I can feel the pading outside the speaker of the headphones, and it feels like it will get uncomfortable on the ears after long use.
Q: Does the mic get in the way from my field of view?
A: No, thankfully this mic is bendable
Q: Does it feel tight?
A: A little bit because of the material inside the earpads, it doesn't feel like it is going to break despite how big my head is.
Q: Do I notice this on my entire head after a period of time?
A: Yes, my ears heat up a little bit.
Q: Is it something I want to wear because I notice it on my head?
A: Yes, although for even more comfort, I may buy thicker earpads with better material inside to make my experience better.
Despite this headset being made a few years ago, it is still a very good item that can be bought today that is compatible with a variety of devices. The cons are something that i can deal with. I would totally recommend this to a friend. The headphones feel like they should be sold at a $40-$50 price range which is actually how much it is priced here (Edit: price for this headset went up). This headset is definitely worth the buy.
Note: I only had this for a day, I have no idea how much it will last me, yet. I will update this in case any problem occurs with this headset
Edit: Added sound quality since i had this for 3 days and I had fixed the issue of the uncomfortable ears by ripping some cheapy, but comfortable material earpads from a broken on-ear headset and put it inside the earpads (luckily the earpads from the turtle beach keeps it in place and it is unnoticeable because of the color)
*Edit 2: So I have tried them for 2 weeks, I feel like I can get a better headset, sometimes when there are intense situations in a video game that I was playing, the bass doesn't go well with these headsets since it feels like the bass doesn't have a lot of room which gives me some discomfort because this not only affects the sound quality, but the dynamic chat boost would turn off making it harder to hear my teammates and it makes me want to put my game volume lower, if I do turn the bass lower, it helps a bit, but it doesn't sound "right" because I feel like the audio quality still acts up even with the bass lower. I also fixed the issue with not hearing myself, it doesn't work when it is in the "small mic" portion of the slider which my teammates tells me that it is the best option to use because I am not too loud nor too quiet (my teammates told me that I sound too loud if I have the "large mic" function on), however, since you can't hear yourself at the "small mic" mode, you may talk really loud which may distract other people that may live with you, I would usually have to wear the headphones in like a one-ear style just to limit how loud my voice gets. I don't know if it is just me, but for some reason, I feel like the fabric on the earpads feel harder the longer I play.
Edit 2, Mobile Review:
I don't like how these sound on mobile, sound quality itself is probably okay, however, the thing that I don't like about this headset on mobile is that everything sounds far away in comparison to other headsets I have. Music while playing games is alright since the bass from the game effects in a way "cancels" out the far away effect, I would recommend a 4-ringed 3.5mm aux cord if you want to use this function.
I will update this post as soon as I am starting to have problems with this headset or if I find anything to help me improve my experience with
Top reviews from other countries
Das Headset selbst ist hervorragend verarbeitet und fühlt sich robust an. Die Ohrmuscheln sind bequem und passen sich gut an die Ohren an, auch bei längeren Gaming-Sessions. Das verstellbare Kopfband sorgt für eine individuelle Passform und bietet einen sicheren Halt. Ich habe das Headset stundenlang getragen, ohne unangenehme Druckstellen zu spüren.
Aber was wirklich beeindruckt, ist die Klangqualität des PX22. Die 50 mm Lautsprecher liefern einen klaren und satten Sound, der das Gaming-Erlebnis auf ein neues Level hebt. Ich konnte jedes Detail hören, sei es das leise Rascheln im Hintergrund oder die beeindruckenden Explosionen in actiongeladenen Spielen. Die Bässe sind kraftvoll, aber nicht übertrieben, und die Höhen sind klar und präzise.
Das Mikrofon des Headsets ist ebenfalls von hoher Qualität. Es lässt sich einfach verstellen und fängt meine Stimme klar und deutlich ein. Meine Teamkollegen im Online-Multiplayer konnten mich problemlos hören, und die Geräuschunterdrückung sorgt dafür, dass Hintergrundgeräusche minimiert werden.
Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist die Vielseitigkeit des PX22. Es ist kompatibel mit der PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 und dem PC, was es zu einer ausgezeichneten Wahl für Spieler macht, die verschiedene Plattformen nutzen. Die Inline-Steuerung ermöglicht es mir, schnell die Lautstärke anzupassen oder das Mikrofon stummzuschalten, ohne das Spiel zu unterbrechen.

Cómodos, se escuchan estupendamente, no se que puedan tener otros de gama alta que no tengan estos.
Cuando me llaman al móvil, si estoy jugando, lo conecto al adaptador que trae y puedo hablar cómodamente con ellos, además puedes configurar los distintos volúmenes para tu mayor comodidad.
Tiene otra función para escucharte a ti mismo y así no andar gritando al verse tu voz amortiguada por los cascos envolventes.
