TRITTON Kama Stereo Headset for PS4

It's interesting to note just how many offerings are available concerning gaming headsets that currently exist on the market to date. We've gone from a limited variety to a plethora (and yes...that is a very fitting use of that word) of choices in gaming headsets. When it comes to reviews for headsets, you the reader, must be very careful, considerate and mindful about what you're reading, because the likes and dislikes of a particular headset are COMPLETELY subjective. Why do I say that? I will tell you exactly why: Personal Preference. Why does it really come down to those two little words? I will tell you exactly why: The success or failure of a particular gaming headset is, largely, up to the individuals expectations and what that person has determined to be their comfort zone concerning 3 things: 1) Quality, 2) Engineering and 3) Wireless or Wired. Frankly, I'm surprised that we still have the huge amount of gaming headset offerings that we do, but it still comes down to those two little words: Personal Preference. And that, my friends, is why it is very difficult to write a considerate and constructive review for a gaming headset. On that note, let's make one more distinction. There is a difference between audio/music headphones and a gaming headset. Yes, yes! I know that many reading this already know that differentiating fact. That info is not for those in the know, but rather for those that are just getting into gaming and need to hear/read from those that are seasoned gamers. It's a part of sharing knowledge that we need to be willing to do for those that are new to gaming. Very, very rarely do we see an audio device that can "Cross" perform successfully between listening to music and playing a game and still deliver the listening experience that we desire. While it is true that, for the most part, audio devices can do this that is NOT the point. The point is that you'll noticeably lose that discernible something in the audio experience when you use a pair of music headphones for gaming and vice-versa. Furthermore, there is typically a physical distinction between a pair of music headphones and a gaming headset in the form of a microphone, be it a boom type or built in, which is included on 98% of gaming headsets on the market. The Tritton Kama headset arrived packed in a sturdy cardboard box with all of the typical product information printed on the outside. It is specified to work with the PS4 and the PSVita. Now, you may all be wondering what other platforms this headset will work with. Let me list those for you: PS3: Untested - This platform is slated to be tested with the Tritton Kama within the month. PS4: Works - Flawlessly! PSVita: Works - Flawlessly! Xbox 360: Does Not Work (Wrong connector type) Xbox One: Does Not Work Smartphones: Works - Flawlessly! (Tested on 5 different smartphone devices: Apple iPhone, Samsung, Motorolla, HTC and Nokia.) Tablets: Works - Flawlessly! (Tested on 4 different tablet devices: Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Amazon Kindle and Barnes and Noble Nook.) PC & Laptops: Works - Flawlessly! (Tested on both a gaming desktop and a gaming laptop) ** Note ** Please allow me to vent a little about some reviewers misconception about computer compatibility here. There have been some Amazon product reviewers who have incorrectly advised prospective shoppers looking to buy this gaming headset by falsely claiming that this product does not work with PC's or laptops. That, ladies and gentleman, is absolutely incorrect information. This headset WILL work with PC's and laptops. Because this headset has a short 3.5mm audio cable, you may need to purchase an 3.5mm audio extension cable (make sure, though, that the cable will support 3-pole connections). Additionally, I tested this gaming headset on both my gaming desktop and gaming laptop using 3 audio output sources: 1. Internal Sound Card (A sound card which is installed as an add-on computer component) 2. External Sound Card (A sound card which is housed in a plastic encasement and connected to a computer using either a USB cable or TosLink Fibre Optic cable) 3. On-board Sound Card (A sound card which is integrated onto a computer motherboard) Folks, all 3 audio sources worked flawlessly for both game sound and voice chat. Please, disregard all nay-sayers stating that this gaming headset doesn't work on computers. It Absolutely Does Work On PC's and Laptops! The sound quality I experienced was at a level I certainly didn't expect. When I first saw this headset, it was at a local Gamestop on demo display. I thought I'd try it out and was very impressed, but skeptical that maybe they had tweaked the audio to make it sound better than under normal operational standards. I found this headset here on Amazon and they were listed cheaper...by $10...so, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity. I ordered the Tritton Kama gaming headset the same day. After the headset arrived, I immediately started testing. I was very impressed indeed! This headsets sound quality was just as it was when I tried the demo product at Gamestop. Very impressed! Good solid bass, good lows and highs! This headset doesn't sport surround sound, it's just not made for it. However, the Tritton Kama gaming headset is so good that I can't positively say that it needs surround sound. I buy gaming equipment and write reviews for them. Keyboards, mice, gaming headsets, gamepads, joysticks, flight controls, driving wheels, blah, blah, blah. Some of gaming equipment I've purchased range from awesome to absolute failures. To say that I own many, many gaming headsets would be an understatement. Some are just straight stereo, while others are circumaural, supra-aural simulated 5.1 & 7.1 surround sound, while others are full 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound gaming headsets. The Tritton Kama gaming headset is a REAL contender when it comes to gaming equipment. Now, I know it's priced on the low side, but it's not low quality. The stereo sound is very good and the build quality is solid. You'll read reviews from people that will write about a gaming headset and complain that their headsets fell apart or broke. That's just crap, folks! If you take good care of your equipment and treat it right, it will last a long time. If you're interested, I currently own over 30 gaming headsets and none of which have ever broken or fallen apart. Ever! Even after all of the extensive testing and hundreds of hours consumed playing games, listening to music and watching movies just to write a review and be as unbiased and objective as I can possibly be, none of those 30+ gaming headsets EVER broke or fell apart. The Tritton Kama gaming headset comfort level is acceptable right out of the box. A little tight due to newness, but will loosen up a bit over time. The headband is adjustable and sports very welcoming cushioning for the top of the head. The headphones rest on the ears and sport some nice comfortable cushioning wrapped in soft pseudo-leather. This will get a bit warm, but my ears have not experienced any profuse sweating from it. The headphones will swivel 180 degrees to help make the headset as mobile as possible. That said, I would have paid a little more just to have carry pouch included in the final product. But it's just as good all the same. The summation is simply this: The Tritton Kama gaming headset is a good quality piece of gaming equipment that sports nice comfort, very impressive sound and even more impressive utility in regard to platform access that you can experience for yourself, all for the small sum of $30 plus tax and shipping. If you should have any questions, please let me know so that I can provide you the very best answers you seek.
