I bought Sony's Gold Headset and in games with clear quality in-game chat (COD BLOPS2) my friends can hear me well and I can hear them well. Otherwise we use system party chat when the in-game chat happens to be cheaper quality. The virtual surround-sound is great. You do need to have a USB dongle (included) plugged into your system at all times because the headset does not have bluetooth. My friend with a pair of Elites complains that my headset's base boost is not enough and I don't have a rumble feature. However, I prefer that my wireless headset last 8 hours between charges instead of 3. You can usually find a pair of Sony Golds on Amazon for $70-80. I happened to get mine for 70. They can also charge using the PS4 controller cable and can be used while charging. They feature a mode with a small bass boost which can be traded out for a game-specific mode using the Elite App if the game supports it. A 3.5mm cable is included with the headset (unless used and states otherwise) so you can plug a cable into a phone/mp3 player/handheld to use as regular, noise-cancelling headphones. As you may have noticed; I'm a big fan of this headset. I've never purchased one before this and had no idea what a good headset would be considered. My first thing was to look at battery life and if I could use them with my iPad. After that I just read some buyer reviews to get a better idea and then went for it. I've yet to be disappointed after two months of daily use. Hope this suggestion helped. (:
