PRIF Freedom 1 Review – Wireless Headset Hiccups
Officially licensed by Sony, the Freedom 1 is a cheap, yet potentially cheerful option for those looking to do away with the wired earpiece that comes bundled with the PlayStation 4 console.
Described by Prif as a “unique wireless headset that delivers peerless audio performance, has an excellent range of features and offers superior styling,” the Freedom 1 is certainly aiming high. After using the headset for a week, I found I liked the comfort achieved by swapping out the standard earpiece for the alternative provided in the box. And I appreciate the ability to change the black design for a camouflage print.
Where the Freedom 1 went wrong however, was in the audio experience. No matter how I set the headset up, or who I spoke to in chat or in a group, audio feedback could be heard. Sometimes it would be a faint hum, at other times a loud unpleasant screech. And this is after making sure my PlayStation 4 was far away from any other electrical devices, or wires, or any other interference I could think of. The ability to monitor my voice while talking is a feature I love in a headset, and while live monitoring is boasted by the Freedom 1, it often resulted in an amplification of the feedback, hitting me with a deafening blast.
So I?d say it?s comfortable to wear, and it works fine as a purely mono output for gameplay sound, but for chat, I?d personally stay far away.
