    I bought these yesterday and I come from Astro A40’s. The setup is a piece of cake and they are super comfortable. For the sound, I read certain reviews complaining about the max volume. Take this into consideration, Battlefield 4 playing at max volume, you stand near a tank or heavy gun fire and your ears will want to explode of how loud and clear the sound is.

    Guys, for $100 you get wireless, easy setup, great construction quality, 7.1 surround, custom profiles in the future, think about it. What more can you expect for $100. The other headsets in comparison and 2 to 3 times the price.

    If you want something that is good and works and don’t want to blow 300, trust me and just buy this. Other reviews that complain about certain things, obviously are not considering the price point and are comparing to headsets that are double and triple the price.

    TL;DR – Returned my Elites, kept Golds., February 11, 2014

    Got my Golds earlier today, and I couldn’t wait to test them out. They’re great! I had ordered the Elites about a week ago, and literally days after they arrived, I found out about the Golds being released. Just my luck 😛 I basically had the choice of keeping my Elites, or returning them and keeping the Golds. I really liked the Elites but here were my major complaints: 1) horrible battery life (about 3 hours; I was constantly charging) and 2) very heavy with little padding (hurt my head after a while). The Golds definitely improve on both.

    The biggest thing people seem to be debating is whether or not bass impact will be on the Golds. They didn’t totally add Bass Impact. On the Elites, Bass Impact was a boost in bass levels, plus they had nodes on either side of the head that would rumble/vibrate to correlate with on-screen action – basically like how the dualshock controllers rumble during explosions, gunfire, etc. I personally wasn’t a fan of Bass Impact (neither the bass boost nor the rumble effect), so this wasn’t make-or-break for me, but a ton of people like it. If you liked it, just know that the rumble is gone, but the bass boost remains.

    Here are features on the ear cups: Volume Up/Down, Virtual Surround Sound On/Off, Microphone, Microphone Mute On/Off, Audio Jack, Audio Modes, Chat Volume Up/Down. It also says the faceplates are customizable, but I have no idea how it works. Also, no sliders; I personally didn’t mind the sliders, but everything is an on/off button now, except audio and chat volume, which are up/down buttons.

    PROS:
    – Bass boost is available (kind of like Bass Impact from Elites, but without the rumble).
    – WAY better battery than Elites (I’ve been using them all day, and I haven’t had to charge yet).
    – Comes with charger.
    – Very light, and has plush padding on the headband.
    – Collapsible; ear cups fold in.

    CONS:
    – Charging cord is only 4 to 5 inches long, so you won’t be able to charge and play at the same time. I found myself doing that all the time with the Elites, but that was because the battery was always dying on me. Can’t tell yet if this will be an issue with the Golds.
    – You can only have one audio mode attached to the headphones at a single time; bass boost is considered an audio mode, so you can’t have this turned on alongside another mode.
    – Seems easily breakable. They’re very light, but that’s because they’re made out of what seems to be plastic. They feel a tad flimsy.

    Overall, I’m very happy with the upgrade! If you have the Elites, and are looking to upgrade, I’d say it depends on what matters to you. Audio quality is the same, features are almost the same. The only real difference are aesthetics, battery life, and whether or not Bass Impact matters to you. I upgraded because the Golds came out during the return period of my Elites, but I can’t say whether or not I would have bought the Golds if I couldn’t have returned the Elites.
