These $150 wireless headphones are perfect if you own a PlayStation 4

When it comes to listening to the games I play on my Sony PlayStation 4, I haven't exactly been an audiophile.

Until lately, I simply used a pair of Apple earbuds that came with my iPhone, plugging them into the headphone jack on the PS4. They were available, easy to use, and good enough.

I probably would have kept on using them, except their microphone didn't work with the voice chat feature in some of the games I was playing. Wanting to chat with my fellow players, I decided to check out some other options. I used that search as an excuse to explore wireless headphones and to see what I was missing while wearing my earbuds.

Sony makes two excellent pairs of wireless headphones for the PlayStation 4 - the $99 Gold and $199 Platinum wireless headsets. I recently got review units of both and look forward to testing them. But for several months now, I've found my own personal sweet spot: Plantronics' RIG800HS headphones.

The RIG800HS are wireless, cost $150 - right between Sony's two offerings - and are made by the same 56-year-old audio communications company that became famous for providing headsets for NASA. Oh, and they're awesome.
