Not every game uses the same sound profile

The head beam is a bit heavy
it is heavier than plastic
PS4 with a very long cord

true surround sound and not USB pretend crap
lack of an external volume control is
The headset has no other physical controls
how accurate the surround sound signal would be bouncing to the inner ear
the lack of on the fly volume
