**UPDATE 12-21-15**
Today these headphones finally broke. The left earcuff broke about a month ago, today it broke completely off. These were my favorite headphones :( I never used the folding option, never had dropped them either.
Based on their lifespan I will buy another pair.
**ORIGINAL REVIEW**
So far I have used these with: The Last Of Us Remastered, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, and some GTA V. What I can say first is: I charged them when I got them: Last Wednesday, September 11, 2014. I've yet to recharge them (As of September 25, 2014). The initial 2 hr charge is still holding However, i've only used them for a few hours. But it's good to know they last this long even on standby mode with an hour here and there of use,
Comfort: They are a bit snug, but not overly so. Taking a moment to re-adjust the headset makes them comfortable. They work flawlessly with the ps3 and ps4 via the wireless adapter, movies, music and games all work with them.
Now:
Audio quality: It should be noted that for the last 20 or so years I've had a "true" surround sound system with 5 actual speakers in my room, until 6.1, and 7.1 surround sound came out, now I've got 7 physical speakers in my room all booming sound. I'm used to TRUE surround sound, not artificial "simulated" surround from two speakers trying to give off the illusion of actual, physical speakers... on this level I think the "Stereo 7.1 (simulated) surround sound" part of the headset fails. To me the surround sound sounds like stereo, left and right. However, the quality is not bad. Bass is fairly decent (especially after using the console's app to customize base, treble and other levels). Sound is crisp and is loud on high notes and comfortable on low notes. From booms to whispers: it's quite well heard. This is something my expensive (well, ok, only about $700.00, but still expensive for me, lol) true surround sound system can't do. It's great for day time and etc. but it's dynamic level isn't friendly for night-time listening where you want to hear whispers as loud as the booms: this is why I got the headset.
I've also tried them with my Tablet, it works fantastically. While I can't use the wireless feature, I used it's very nice adapter to plug into my Tablet like a normal headset. As I'm typing this, I'm using it WIRELESSLY on my computer (windows 7). I simply plugged in the sony wireless dongle and Windows installed it perfectly! No cords, wireless 7.1 simulated output! On top of that: The built-in wireless mic also works for my pc! Which will move me onto the last section:
Microphone: The built-in mic works great, it seems to pick up my voice even at a whisper, so far it sounds great, you can also adjust how loud you hear the game, and how loud people's voice come in. You can have voice very low, and the game up loud, or vice-versa as well as a balance between the two. I'd say it was worth the $91.90 bucks (that is after tax, free shipping). The huge bonus to me as a PC gamer in addition to console gaming is they worked flawlessly out of the box as a wireless mic and headset for pc! Even my capture cards picked up my "usb recording device" and "USB audio device" for youtube vids, and streaming. Over-all rating: Well worth the price!
Last note: Have to keep using them to see when they will die out completely and be need to be charged up again. lol.

Feedback/review for PS Wiresless Gold
Feedback about Playstation Wireless Gold, if anyone was interested in buying it, here are my thoughts:Sound: excellent, crisp, clear. This is what I love most. Side note you still can hear some ambient sound from the room around you so it is not noise cancelling.Microphone: The mic can have some popping or distortion at times, especially if the headset is low on charge. My gaming buddy says sometimes I sound like a Dalek (machine armored aliens from Doctor Who)Range: The wireless range is pretty good, and this was a huge selling point for me because I like to multi-task and walk around while listening to my music or talking to a friend. I can enter adjacent rooms usually with little trouble but if I go behind a wall away from where the dongle is plugged in or in a farther room sometimes my incoming sound will cut out and my outgoing mic sound will get very choppy or also cut out.Comfort: These are very comfortable at first but after 2+ hours can start to hurt mildly where it puts pressure on your upper ears. I have a medium sized head (wear medium hats from hat makers) and small ears. The inner portion of the ear cuff looks small so if you have large ears you may feel some discomfort.Durability: Not. As in, not super durable. The sound you hear and inner mechanics will continue to work fine but the outer hard plastic shell is prone to cracking (or breaking if you're not handling it gently). I am on my second headset. I had to apply strong craft glue and electric tape to the old one as it had begun to crack and split in so many of the outer hard plastic spots (after a year of frequent use). If you are rough with your headset it will probably break quite easily. I am gentle with mine and put it back on its shelf when not in use. The inner ear cuffs last fine and the inner padding lasts fine without any tearing or splitting. It's just that plastic on the outside....they should have used a more flexible plastic that can withstand repeated bending.... like those "unbreakable" combs you can buy. In the picture the left headset is my old one and the one on the right I have been using -carefully- for 6 months.Use: Very easy to use and operate. Buttons are all streamlined on the left earpiece and easy to remember. + - sound buttons for volume and a mute button which is great in case you need to use the restroom or make some ungodly sound like you have a massive sneeze coming on. There is also a button set in the front for changing the balance between party chat and game volume. This is great if you just can't hear the cut scene over your friend's yammering or can't hear your friend's huge announcement over the sound of game bullets. To turn on just plug in the wireless dongle to device (PS4, PC, etc), hit the power button on the headset, and you're good to go. It connects effortlessly every time.If anyone was/is interested in Playstation Wireless Gold Headset, I hope this feedback has been useful. Have a great day.
