Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

The stickied FAQ mentions the adapter for console, but what if I want to plug the headset right into my PS4 via USB on the front? Will this green + pink to USB adapter work with this headset?
EDIT: I found a comment below where someone used something like this, and it didn't work. However, it sounds like they were using it with a PC, and the adapter wasn't as popular or as high rated as this model.
REVIEW: There's plenty of comments here already about how excellent this headset is, so I won't even touch that (but it's true and I agree). I'm using these with my PS4 Pro. I didn't want to go through the controller, so I bought the UGREEN USB Audio Adapter described and linked below. 1. It works! 2. The Adapter is inexpensive and I don't think there's any issues with microphone levels too soft, or audio too quiet. It all seems perfect. 3. Comparing to the Sony Wireless Gold Headset, obviously you lose the convenience of wireless, and their lack of microphone boom, but the trade-off is much better, clearer audio output, and when you are chatting, you're much easier to hear and there's even less delay.
Overall, unless you're a super casual gamer and don't need quality, I would not choose the Golds over this headset.
The adapter is the "UGREEN USB Audio Adapter External Stereo Sound Card With 3.5mm Headphone And Microphone Jack For Windows, Mac, Linux, PC, Laptops, Desktops, PS4"

Then, you'd plug the microphone cable from the headset (this headset does already provide both cables separately, not a combined cable) into the pink side of the adapter going into the controller.
Finally, your console will probably default to thinking that both audio and microphone are plugged into the controller, so you'll have to use the console sound settings to specifically set the audio output to not be through the headset, but through your TV or speakers.
In other words, yes, with the right adapter I think you could do that, but since I'm not doing it, I can't know for sure.
Good luck! I hope this helped.
When using the usb adapter, I get no response when talking. If you tap on the mic or talk real close, you get loud inconsistent feedback. Does anyone know if there is a specific usb adapter to get this headset to work? I'd really prefer to plug it in through USB rather than my ps4 controller.
Thanks.

Good luck though, I hope you're able to figure it out. The headset is great on the PS4. I've loved it.
