Very comfortable and great sounding headset.  I connect to my Sony Streaming blue ray player flawlessly and had it on and connected for almost 4 hours with no drop in performance so I can't say how long the batteries will last at a comfortable listening level.  Fold up nice & small to save space when not in use. I didn't try them with my cell phone but it has a built in mic. and buttons to answer and hang up, either way it can't be used in the car sice it covers both ears. An all round decent pair of headphones for a very reasonable price.

I bought the 20th Anniversary Edition Sony Gold Wireless Stereo Headset from my local Best Buy this past Sunday, and so far I'm pretty impressed. I bought these to play Destiny with a couple of my buddies and be able to talk to them while doing raids/strikes/pvp etc.

COMFORT - When I first put them on my head the thing I immediately noticed was the pretty extreme clamping force; so I stretched em out overnight on the box it came in and it's now much, MUCH better. It's still noticeable, but I can play for about 3 hours before my head/ears feel a bit sore. 15 minute break and that's all it takes for me to be ready for another 3 hours. Very minor inconvenience IMO.

USABILITY - This headset connect to PS4 no problem. Plug in the wireless adapter, turn on the headset, and go. I recommend downloading the Headset Companion App if you enjoy tweaking sound profiles and whatnot. These are about as usable on PC as well, as they are on PS4. Just plug the wireless dongle into a USB port on your PC(don't have a mac to test this on,) select default for both mic and headset and you're good to go. The convenience of this is immense when I really just don't feel like dealing with the cables of my Senn HD558 'phones that have a 10 ft cable that I always roll over with my desk chair lol. Anyway, back on track.

SOUND -  These sound ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL for their price range. I bought them for the full 99.99 but the fact that you can buy the original version of these for around 70 bucks online is more than a steal. In terms of HOW they sound, well that depends. The virtual surround sound comes enabled default out of the box. Do yourself an immense favor and just disable this. Virtual surround sound is a gimmick. With it turned on the bass is entirely sucked out, and the treble becomes so shrill that I just can't listen to it. With VSS turned off what you get is a very good, slightly elevated(also slightly bloated) bass response, warm mids, and very articulate and clear treble frequencies. Soundstage is also quite good for a closed back headphone. I wasn't expecting the Sony Gold's to sound this good, honestly.

MIC - honestly this is probably the biggest downside of the headset. The microphone quality is very, very sub-par. It's quite a bit muffled and sounds like you might be speaking out of a toilet depending on how echo-ey the room you're in is. It's also quite sensitive and will pick up your controller input sounds if you smash buttons like I do. Make sure you're buddies on PSN don't care if they hear controller sounds once in a while. HOWEVER, it is pretty cool that it isn't a boom mic that's always in your peripheral vision all the time and can sometimes get in the way. I don't find this too big a deal seeing as all my buddies want is to be able to hear my voice and understand what I say. Pure quality of voice isn't important to some people.

CONCLUSION - Basically, this is THE best value oriented PS4 headset. I'm sure there's better sounding, more comfortable ones with a better microphone on them. But you won't be able get them for $100 or less. The Sony Gold Wireless headset sounds phenomenal once VSS is turned off. I don't recommend buying these if you wear glasses, I imagine the clamping force would be unbearable. The mic kinda sucks, but it's good enough for talking to your friends. All in all this headset is an absolute steal. Enjoy!

A friend recommended I get this headset after trying at least 3 others within a month. Some had horrible microphones, others did not work at all, and the last headset I had tried before this had a good mic but it died within two weeks.

My friend finally told me to get this headset as he owned one in the past and was the best for the money. I could not believe that such a good headset could cost this little compared to others that I had paid over $100 for.

The sound is good (actually very good) but the most important aspect for me was being able to be heard clearly and it does this very nicely.

Another plus is that the headset is analog, no USB adapter that cause issues. This went well with my Creative Xonar audio card and amp. I highly recommend this combo.

I ordered the JLabs J4M headset about a week or two ago and I am totally satisfied with the sound quality.  They're a bit bass-heavy as opposed to other headsets I've used (most notably Shure E2c). I tend to really enjoy the bass, but someone with a different style may find them a bit to thumpy.  I listen to a lot of double-bass drum and power chord-heavy metal music and it suits, with the highs coming in to cut the underlying thunder-like lows.  I'm not super impressed with most of the silicone tips that came with the headset, but the smallest ones seem to be sufficient unless you just REALLY have a big ear canal. The set also came with a very nifty carrying case.  Bulky...but neat and keeps them from tangling in your pocket or bag.  The flat cable is truly awesome in that it resists kinking and twisting. The only downside to the flat cable is it makes it a little difficult to wear them in the common upside-down-and-behind-the-ear configuration to reduce microphonics. The microphone is fairly clear, even in a vehicle when worn in one ear as a standard phone headset.  The multi-function button works when trying to play/pause the music player or answer/end a call, but on my HTC Hero running Android 2.1 firmware with HTC Sense UI, the button does not command the phone to skip forward or backward tracks.  Double click will actually redial the last number instead.  Overall, not totally balanced as far as sound goes, but if you like it heavy, they're great.  And if you HAVE to have the track skip feature, check your phone's compatibility, first.  I found these for about $50 w/ free shipping. Given the cons, I'd say this was fair based on construction and sound quality. If you find them for $100, you may or may not want to fork out the dough, especially if you aren't sure that the multi-function button is going to work on your phone or not.

Pros:
1) Excellent sound isolation.
2) Slightly unbalanced sound range leaning more towards baritone and bass areas = great for rock, metal, jazz, others.
3) Excellent cable quality and flat cable construction with SERIOUS reinforcement around plug and y-splitter.
4) Nifty (but bulky) zip up carry case
5) Microphone!

Cons:
1) Multi-function button doesn't work properly on my model HTC Android headset despite being listed as HTC compatible.
2) Cable is a tad too short to have in ears while phone is on hip holster or in pocket.
3) Most of the tips are very large and therefore, not usable. (This could just be me, so don't read too much into this one.)

If you can get them for $50 or so, get them. Not sure if they're worth getting if they're listed for any higher prices unless your phone is 100% compatible with the multifunction button and you enjoy bass heavy music.

This headset is great and well worth the price. The sound quality is great and allows me to be able to hear everything around me and gives me a good sense of the direction of where sound is coming from which is very important and isn't featured in many headsets at this price range. I've had the product for about a year now and it is still functioning very well. Would definitely recommend to pc and console gamers searching for a new headset at a good price range.

This headset was the right price for what I needed for PC gaming/talking on aim/Skype.  I wanted a quality headset microphone that would make me clear to hear to people.

The mic quality is GREAT, and so is the sound quality of the headphones.  The sounds are all clear and I had no hissing or anything.  The headset feels very sturdy and of quality construction, especially the fabric-covered padding.  I love how the headset folds up and away if needed.  You can bend the sticking-out mic part  forward/back towards your mouth, and then the joint at the head does up/down, so it's a lot more precise than the loosey-goosey free wire-bending boom mics.  It basically gives me the steady-placement FEEL of a hard plastic fixed position mic...only this one IS adjustable.

My only complaint is the headband was TOO TIGHT - it pinches my earlobe tops against the padding to my head.  I've been leaving it on a box to stretch out the plastic of the headband.  My head is small by human standards and my ears are not large either - so I don't know how other people feel about the tightness.

For wearing with extended times of playing online games.....it was not comfortable unless stretched out (after being "de-tightened" by being left on a box to stretch it, it is good though).

Also the plugs on the headset that plug into the back of the computer (this is an analog headset which is good cause I have many USB devices and I need those ports open) are not color coded - they are both black and look the same (they have tiny engraved symbols for 'line out' and 'mic' on them).  One being RED would have been nice so it's easy to see which is which - cause not everyone can easily see/get to the back of their computer.  Mine is a large desktop tucked aganist a balcony edge....I have to lean way over and half blindly plug them in.  Though this is easily fixed with some paint or color tape (already did that so problem solved) the designers should have thought of that I think.

This headset is great. I've been using it for 2 months now and it still works flawlessly. The quality of the mic is as good, if not better, than my $122 audio-technica AT2020USB Condenser Mic! It's hard to believe a headset mic is that good, but it is! For 30 dollars this is a steal. I use it for my pc and ps3 and it works perfectly on both. My previous headset hurt my ears when I used it hours at a time, this one doesn't bother my ears half as much. I record music vocals with this headset mic and the quality is superb, not too bassy, just perfect! Just try not to touch or tap your headset while recording or it will record the tap. Now I wish I never bought that AT2020. And the quality of the sound from the headphones are just as good as any other set of headphones I have had and better than my i-pod headphones because I can hear better bass and treble levels from this headset. The fact that it surrounds your ears helps with killing background noise as well. And since it is usb means there is no weird hissing or beep feedback noise coming from my pc while recording which is why I decided to buy this usb headset. Bottom line - I love this headset

I use this headset for work, and I love it!  It is one of the most comfortable headsets I have worn, and it works just as well, if not better, than many I have used that were triple the price!  I highly recommend this headset whether you are gaming for a couple hours at a time, or spending 8 hours a day wearing it!

Great set of headphones!! 5 Stars on the build quality and sound!!

The headset has great sound and is very ergonomic, allowing one to use it for hours on end with no problems.  They also look super awesome to top it off.  I bought mine at 50% off which was a huge steal because the headset is definitely worth the regular price of only $79.99

This headset is great. The sound is crystal clear whether you are using on Skype or listening to music, videos, etc. The microphone functions perfectly, no distortion, no crackling- have had many compliments on this piece of equipment while using it with my Skype. This headset functions better than the previous headset that I used and paid over 50.00 for! Highly recommend this headset- you simply can not go wrong ..especially at this price.

This headset will not compete with the serious, $100+ headsets out there. Of course, for ~$50, it's not supposed to. This headset (when set on 7.1 surround sound) definitely has the best sound quality of any headset I've ever used for this price range. I do wish the ears were a bit more elongated and less square. Also, the fuzzy material is very comfortable but also kind of warm. After a couple hours, your ears will start to be uncomfortable and you'll want to take it off for a few minutes. However, if you live in a cold place (NY, for me) this is actually kind of a nice unintended feature.

I am SLIGHTLY worried about the headband because the plastic seems a little bit cheap, but it doesn't bend very much on your head so it should be fine.

I'm very happy with this headset, the bluetooth range is great, easy to connect to two devices, great sound with deep bass when listening to music and clear voice when used as a phone headset. The standby and talk times are impressive! I haven't had the battery go low enough to prompt any messages and everyone can apparently hear me fine. The magnets that hold the earbuds very securely in the recesses of the neckband and even together if hanging loose fully extended. This headset is very light and I often forget I'm wearing it, luckily when a call comes in it vibrates to remind me to put in the earbud(s)! Regarding the magnets that hold the earbuds in the base, they are very strong, always grab the entire earbud when pulling them away from the base to put in your ears, this will prevent damaging the wires.

What's not to like? These feel so comfortable, they are made with a really nice memory foam that cushions nicely and does NOT heat up with prolonged use.
They also spring back to shape when removed and are VERY lightweight!

I also appreciated that the mic is retractable and has an easy to use on/off switch as opposed to those that are mounted on the wire.

The mic is meant to be positioned when in use to the side for the best clarity when speaking to others, it is easy to adjust to suit your preference which is another thing I like.

It appears very well made, good quality and looks like it was made to last.

My son who is 6'2" tried them out on an all day gaming binge and he said they stayed super comfortable the whole time.

You can also use these on a PC, ipod etc, which is really nice as we do a lot of gaming on our PCs also.

It comes with a connecting cable for this so you are good to go right out of the box.

The sound was crisp and clear when used on gaming and skype and music.

Overall a VERY good headset for the price, we have spent much, Much more for much , much less quality and versatility!

If you have several people in your home that use headsets you will want to buy at least one more so yours will STAY put where you leave them!
We all really like them/

I have owned this headset for a few months now, and I would definitely recommend it for the price.

Sound quality - Personally, I found myself wanting surround sound, simply because I prefer the full immersion that comes with it. But if you either don't have the budget for that, or simply aren't picky, then this headset is a no-brainer. However, if you are planning on listening to music more than gaming, I would recommend buying a dedicated pair of headphones for music. Otherwise, the sound quality in-game is astoundingly clear.

Mic Quality - Simply put, this headset comes with the best microphone you're going to find in this price range. It rotates and bends freely, and once you find the right distance away from your face, your voice is heard crystal clear. Another plus is that the microphone isolates your voice and removes some of the background noise (although it should be noted that it does not remove all of it; if someone is violently rearranging silverware in the background, the microphone is going to pick it up). The microphone is definitely a strong selling-point for this headset.

Comfort - The material that most of the headset is made of is a strong plastic, giving it a very light weight feel. Once you find the right setting for your head, you don't even notice that you're wearing a headset. While gaming, I have caught myself reaching up to feel if I was still wearing it. The ear padding is very cushion-y and the shape of the ear cuffs support large ears. I have small ears, so there is plenty of room and I don't feel any disturbance. The cushion on the top of the headset also ensures that you don't feel any pain from the weight (even though there is barely any weight to begin with).

Durability - Despite the material it's made from, this headset is fairly durable. However, if you're going to be throwing it around in fits of rage, I would not recommend it. If you're a more peaceful gamer, this set is for you. The braided cable is also a plus, especially for cat-owners (or owners of other, more exotic animals... I'm not judging).

Aesthetics - If you're worried about the red accents not matching your setup, worry no more. When you're actually wearing this headset, little to none of the red is really visible. The design is also visually appealing, with nice, discrete slanted angles. It would look nice on a headset rack.

Overall, this headset is exceptional for its price range. Personally, the only problem I had was the fact that I wanted surround sound, which has nothing to do with the headset itself; in this price range, decent surround sound headsets are non-existent. I would recommend it for anyone who is on a budget and wants a nice headset. But if you play games a lot, have the money, and want that complete, immersive feel in your game, I would pay about $30-50 more for a surround sound set, perhaps the Logitech G35 or G930. If you want to spend a huge amount of money, I would recommend the Steelseries Siberia Elite. But for the price, this stereo headset is the best around.

Because it is so amazing, I have to start by saying that I never dreamed you could find sound of this quality with a mid-teen price tag.  This headset is a huge value at the price at the time of this review.

5-Star, sound.  Clear, crisp and well balanced. One of the most enjoyable of all the $15-30 earbud headsets Ive tested, and Ive tested a lot of them.

5-Star, volume.  Very good, not the loudest of any I have tested, but I don't listen to music that is louder than this for fear of damaging my hearing.  Even with this headset I crank the volume down a click or two for the loudest songs.

The one thing I might mention is that when you press a volume button to increase or decrease the volume, there is a soft beep for  each change, except when you get to the maximum.  Instead of a loud tone, a voice says volume maximum.

4-Star, pairing.  Easy to pair (BT).  Press the MFB until red/blue flashing.  Or start when they earpieces are on your ears.  There are good power on and pairing prompts in English.

When used later, I sometimes must touch BT on the Bluetooth list to initiate connection because they don't reconnect automatically.

5-Star, controls.  On a box hanging down from the right earpiece. There are 3 buttons "+"/next song; MFB (on/off, play/pause/call); "-"/go back. Short  press for volume, long press for song changes. The buttons are large and well defined.

5-Start, fit and comfort.  Definitely 5 stars for me.  They don't have the usual earbuds, but when you get the earpieces in position pressed against your ears and twisted so that the ear hooks are locked in,  I feel more secure than with any  earbud headset that did not also have an over-the-ear hook.

Very comfortable.  I am not even aware they are there.

4-Star, charging.  Charges with a standard charge cable.  Charge time is about 2 hours.  Play time is about 5.5 hours for conversation, which means about 4 hours for music.  Music time is usually less than talk time because volume is commonly higher for music than for talk.
  Included with the headset are a charge cable, pair of earbud covers with hook attached  and  a user guide in Chinese and English that is hard to read because the print is so small.

This is the fifth Motorola HX550 headset that I've bought and the fourth that I've given to a family member. The fifth headset was actually the first one that I bought and gave it to myself!  I've used some of the high priced Bluetooth headsets by well known headset manufacturers and there was always something not quite right about each one of them. At a very reasonable price, I was not expecting the HX550 to be that impressive but it is. The sound quality is very good. The talk time is 9 hrs which is true to the specs. From the moment I paired it to my phone, made my first call 16 months ago to now, I'm yet to have something not quite right with the Motorola HX550.
I certainly would've heard by now if my mother, step mother, mother-in-law had any issues with their headsets but have only received thank you's from each of them and each call was crystal clear and handsfree, on the HX550 Headset.
The fourth headset was given to a family member that's less critical and more appreciative than the others and that would be my daughter, and she loves it!
