this is a must if u own hyperx ,I use it with my ps4 using hyperx cloud alphathe different is much better than plug your headset to controller as .DS4 can produce enough power to headset lead to weak base and low volume once u plug this item things getting better .I mainly play fps and I can hear enemies position much better than before.but if u have extra cash buy sound blaster g6 this is the ultimate performance for any wired headset
