I'm looking to get a new headset for the PS4, so any recommendation to either get the Pulse Elite or the new Gold Wireless.
Gold Wireless aren't released yet, but I imagine this forum will be filled with impressions once they do. This thread alone is filled with plenty of thoughts on the Elites, many of the complaints as well as the positives I fully agree with.
The Elites function beautifully, outputting excellent surround audio, but suffer from discomfort problems after a bit of playtime(serious scalp pain strangely). Many have had their earpieces snap as well, though mine have not given me the same issue.
If you still regularly play PS3, the Elites are fantastic and the different profiles for major releases last year(Bioshock Inf. GTAV, and LoU) using the Elite app adds alot. The Bass Impact is a bit awkward. Like an added subwoofer effect in your ear that can be ridiculous sounding at levels beyond 20%, but they do add some low rumble to the audio that I would miss not having in the Gold's. There are many times I just turn the effect off though, but it is exclusive to the Elites.
TL
R If the Gold's fix the long-play comfort problems and the muff snapping issue, they may be worth missing out on the Bass Impact feature of the Elites.
