You avocado shaped head people will never understand!




Haha, my big ol' head (I guess) cracked mine after a lot...A LOT...of use. I just taped them up and they still work great. When the time comes I will gladly buy another pair of Golds to replace these.

I've said it at least three times in this thread, I've had my golds since they released for the PS4 (Feb 2014) and other than them being loose now due to age not a single crack, break, or anything. Attachment 121155 Still going strong.

If they are loose, there are cracks in the headband. The way the headband is molded, there's not a lot of flex, and it can't stretch too much without cracking the plastic. Both of my pairs cracked, you couldn't see them but you could definitely feel them. First pair I counted something like 20 cracks forming before I stopped and just sent the things to Sony. They weren't visible, or detectable in any way unless the headband was under flex, but on my head you could run your hand along the headband and feel every little valley where a crack had formed.

My replacement pair I noticed the same thing happening after a couple of weeks, so I just applied Sugru to the band and went on with it, they definitely won't crack all the way with that on there.

Here is the picture I took of my golds' cracks, can't say for sure they would have cracked all the way, but they were definitely cracked. I'm flexing the headband here, otherwise you couldn't see or feel them.

I checked again, no indentations or anything, and the looseness has been there for about a year already.

And by loose, right at the swinging hinges if that's where you meant. That's where mine have become loose the last year.

I think I've more than gotten my money's worth out of therm. If they were to ever crack I'd just go Coff's route with them and give em to my son.

Then buy a new one of course.

I'm thinking of getting the UC4 edition as a backup

Solid idea, thanks for the link.

Thanks guys. I'm gonna go with the Golds. Probably the Uncharted edition.

Good idea. I got mine this past January and it's one of the better purchases I've made. Absolutely love them. No issues with wear or cracking or anything either. I treat them well, yes, but I constantly take them on/off during gaming so the band does get worked out.
