Current Events > So my PS4 can't drive my new headset, what do?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Got a new headset and with the volume maxed it's not nearly loud enough. I'm back using my shitty $20 headphones instead because they actually sound better since they can actually get loud enough for me to hear stuff. I can't even play R6 with them because I feel a huge disadvantage not being able to properly hear my surroundings.

I don't want to buy some amp I have to plug into an outlet, plug a 3.5m cable from my controller into, then plug my headphones into that and keep that by me wherever I am. Seems like way too much of an annoyance. But not sure what else I can do but that. Any advice?

Take it back. Tell them there is an audio problem.

Theres no reason they should be so quiet you cant hear the game.

Does Best Buy take things back without a machine? I didn't get a receipt because their thing wasn't working that day.

Might be better off selling it on eBay or something for a bit less since it's a popular headset and it's like new.

And tbf I was exaggerating a bit with the "not being able to hear" bit, it's just a lot quieter than my much cheaper headphones I've used.

Is there any kind of in line amplifier I can get? Even if it takes a battery or something. There's something I saw on Amazon where the reviewers said it amplified the sound, but the company itself in the Q&A section said it doesn't do that so idk who to listen to there. Because pretty much every review mentioned it amplifying the sound specifically on the PS4
