Amazon Basics Mono Chat Wired On Ear Headset for PlayStation 4 (Officially Licensed) – Blue

Value for money….works well so far. Some points yet, volume control is useless as anyhow it has to be used in high volume all the time. Wire length could have been little more and the sponge on earpiece gives itching sensation sometimes. Mute button will not system mute just cuts the signal.

I have one complaint, and its extremely small. I can’t seem to figure out how to switch the microphone spot to my other ear without bending it around. I usually use my right ear anyways, so it’s not a big deal. These are very well made, and extremely reasonable in price. I have no issues using them. Love the on/off switch in a nice easy to reach spot (have a 6 mo, sometimes I gotta mute myself and tend to him, party chat appreciates it too!) And these are very comfortable to wear. I can wear them for four hours and they don’t hurt my ears!

This very low quality product and there’s no option to refund.

Can’t fit on me and time me return replacement v nhi hua very bad poor quality worst

Got it for my sister.. for online class… Nice quality and product

EDIT: 2 months into my purchase, its showing signs of failing on me. The earpiece abruptly stopped working (that too in the middle of a Zoom call; just my luck) and I had to fiddle the wires a bit to make it work again, albeit temporarily. Looks like a loose connection or something. Anyway, its lying lifeless in a corner of my study, and I have a feeling its going to end up in the dumpster soon.

I still stand by my original review, but I am revising my overall rating from 4 stars to a generous 2 stars – only because it served me well during the two months it worked properly. Its microphone is still great, and as long as you don’t receive a defective piece, I reckon you’ll be well served by this accessory.

Original review:-
I bought this headset mainly for the microphone, as I felt that the in-built microphone on my laptop wasn’t good enough for my video conferences. And on that front, its really worth every buck and then some. The microphone is solid, and picks up your voice really well. You can lean back and speak with ease, without worrying about varying voice input. And because its quite adjustable in terms of its positioning, the mic should work for most users. Its equipped with a single 3.5 mm connector, combining both mic and earphone capabilities into one jack.

However, do note that it is not a noise-cancelling, directional mic (and to be honest, I would have been surprised if it had either of those features, given the price), which means it will not try to cut-off ambient noise. Tough luck if your keyboard is noisy. However, with Zoom’s noise cancellation feature, this wasn’t a major issue with me. If you tend to breathe heavily into the mic, then you must consider picking up another mic/headset with dedicated noise cancellation features.

What is yet to start growing on me is the mono-headset. I wasn’t expecting stellar audio from the earpiece, to begin with, which is why I am not terribly disappointed. Make no mistake, this is suited for voice calls. You needn’t be an audiophile to understand that these are not meant for music. But what I am not comfortable with is the idea of mono-headsets. I mean, I’d rather have audio input through both my ears than this single earpiece set up, if I am using a headset, and not a phone. It just doesn’t feel natural. Then again, this is my personal preference, and it has no bearing on my appreciation for this product.

The headset comes with in-line volume controls and a mute switch. They both work fine, although I see little use for them, personally. Given that this has an open-ear design, I wish the earpiece were louder, although its definitely serviceable in its present form. In fact, I suspect that if the earpiece were any louder, it would interfere with the operation of the mic, especially since the latter lacks any ability to filter out ambient noise.

I have not had occasion to use this with a PS4, so I can’t speak for its usage as a gamer’s chat device. I am inclined to believe it will work well with your DualShock PS controller.

As for the headset’s fit around your head, its fine. The band is adjustable, and you needn’t worry about this thing slipping off your head, although I guarantee it will mess your hair up. And for those of you wearing specs, prepare to re-position them every time you wear the headset.

I’m satisfied with the product. It does what it says, and given the price of 800 Rs, it is a bargain. I am, however, not sure if I’ll continue to use this product for its lifetime, and I say that only due to my utterly personal preference for stereo headphones. I sifted through the listings here for a stereo version of this Amazon device, and if its there, I haven’t found it, and I give up. All in all, go for it if you know the limitations of this device.
