Get your 4Gamers PS4 Mono Chat Headset working in minutes. Follow these simple steps for plug-and-play setup, microphone adjustment, and troubleshooting.
Quick answer
Plug the 4Gamers PS4 Mono Chat Headset into your controller's headphone jack and it's ready to go. Adjust the headband and boom mic for comfort, then test audio in a party or game.
Why a mono chat headset?
Unlike stereo gaming headsets, the 4Gamers Mono Chat Headset delivers voice chat through a single speaker. This keeps the design lightweight and affordable—ideal if you want clear team communication without blocking out game audio from your TV or speakers.
Because it's mono, you won't get directional sound cues. That's a trade-off worth knowing before you buy, but for pure chat it's perfectly fine.
Setup steps
- Connect the headset to your controller: Plug the 3.5mm audio jack of the 4Gamers headset into the headphone port at the bottom of your PS4 controller. Push it in until you feel a click. If you hear no audio, check that the plug is fully inserted. A loose connection is the most common cause of no sound.
- Adjust the headband for a snug fit: Extend or shorten the adjustable headband so the headset sits comfortably on your head without pressing too hard. The single speaker should rest over one ear. A too-tight headband can cause discomfort during long sessions. Loosen it if you feel pressure after a few minutes.
- Position the boom microphone: Bend the flexible boom mic so it sits about an inch from the corner of your mouth. Avoid touching your lips—this helps prevent muffled audio. If your voice sounds quiet or distant, the mic may be too far away. Gently move it closer and test again.
- Test audio in a party or game: Join a PS4 party or start a game with voice chat. Speak normally and ask a friend if they can hear you clearly. Adjust the mic position if needed. If the microphone is not working, check that the headset is the only audio device plugged into the controller. Some USB adapters can interfere.
- Adjust PS4 audio settings (optional): Go to Settings > Devices > Audio Devices on your PS4. Set Output Device and Input Device to the controller headset. You can also adjust sidetone volume to hear your own voice. Most users won't need to change these settings, but tweaking sidetone can help if you feel like you're shouting.
