Reddit reviews Sony Playstation 4 (PS4) Mono Chat Earbud with Mic

The wire is frayed internally, and therefore the signal gets lost intermittently. At some point the cable either got stretched out too far, or tangled up and twisted too much.

A good rule of thumb for any electronics cable: It should always be hanging loosely—never taught and straight. If your cable is stretched out enough to make a straight line, it's in the process of getting damged. Same goes for tangling, twisting, and bending the cable.

Source: Studied electronics, and have worked with cables on and off for a decade or so.

You'll need a new one. The official ones that come with the PS4 cost about 12$:

This is the one I have simple but effective (is also the one that came with the ps4) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DCYWI96/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_mjUZzbGYKKA47

You can buy the earbud on amazon for like 5-6 bucks.

I bought mine from the third link, which was last week.

I got another one from amazon for like $10 its a really good mic for its price https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Playstation-Mono-Chat-Earbud-4/dp/B01DCYWI96/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511902440&sr=8-3&keywords=ps4+mic

The ps4 comes with a mono earbud with mic. I don’t think anyone actually uses those. You can probably just ask anyone you know with a PS4 if you can have theirs if they haven’t tossed it yet.

EDIT: They’re $9 on Amazon

I don't think so what ear buds are you using? The rare times I've tried to use apple ear buds they don't work.

Here's a link to what I use outside of that I don't have much knowledge on the subject https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Playstation-Mono-Chat-Earbud/dp/B01DCYWI96

Check your ps4 box and see if it has this inside. Sony Playstation 4 (PS4) Mono Chat Earbud with Mic https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DCYWI96/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cnk.BbQFX1DQJ

There isnt really no repairing the connector end. Buy a new one if you want the same thing.

Or buy a never been used one on ebay.

I also have this problem and what I did was used my PS4 earbuds that came with the console. I plug it in to my Xbox controller then use the clip to clip it to my headset wire that’s connected to my PC, by doing this you’re able to talk to your party using the PS4 mic while hearing and talking through your headset mic. No need to actually put the earbud in your ear because you’re getting the audio through your PC headset. Here’s a link to the earbuds in case you’re unfamiliar.

So you can afford a ps4 but can't afford £5 to replace the mic? Lol
