I got these after returning a different brand that had poor sound quality. Right out of the box these look like they are built good. Like most headphones they are adjustable for size. Since I have a fairly large melon, I adjusted them to the maximum size. They are just the tiniest but tight on my noggin, but not uncomfortable. I bought these for my PS4 but since I had just opened them and wanted to try them right away I plugged them into my phone. I fired up Spotify and skipped through the first couple of suggested songs until I landed on Willie Nelson's On The Road Again. I am not a country fan by any means but I stopped on it because of how it started out with just a simple guitar and drums. As I listened, I felt like I was transported into that studio as the song was being recorded. So crisp and clear.
Now for the sound quality on the PS4. I have to admit that I do not plug these directly into the controller, but into and adaptor that comes with the Sony Silver headphones. I have had at least 3 sets of the silver headphones as they keep breaking. That is why I went with the HyperX this time. Volume on these are more than sufficient. Chat mixed in with game audio is very clear. The HyperX comes with a noise canceling mic which is great. My wife and I play together but in separate rooms. I sit in a leather recliner and after a left cheek sneak I asked her if she heard that. She did not know what I was asking about, so it passed the background noise test!
I've only had these a week but am extremely happy with them. If anything changes I will update my review.
