    Good headset for Ventrilo/Discord mobile apps

    As title says, looking for good suggestions on headsets to use for the mobile versions of Ventrilo/Discord. I raid with a mixed group of PS4/PC players and am on PS4 myself. Would like to communicate easier than try to push to talk while also holding my controller. I could just grab any bluetooth headset I suppose but I was hoping to get one that people have experience using with those two apps if possible.

    Especially looking for something that will not pick up outside noise other than speech if possible since if I'm using the headset I'll no longer have push to talk enabled and don't want to bother people with background noise.

    I can't speak to any mobile headsets, but you may be able to use a headset that plugs into your controller, depending on what you use. I use an Xbox One (Elite) controller with the standard Xbox One headset for Discord, and it works great, and has a large mute button within easy reach on the controller.

    What's your price range? Wired or wireless? Do you want to listen to both at the same time?

    I wanted to be able to hear ps4 sounds and Discord during times when I played my ps4, so I bought a Logitech G933. I use it wirelessly with the ps4 and plug it directly into my phone via the aux cable. It has the ability to mix the sounds so it plays both at once. I like it well enough. It lasts a decent amount of time if you turn off all the lights. Comes with a super long USB cable in case you need to plug it in. It's expensive, though.

    I find the quality of the discord mobile app depends more on the phone. It hated my old G2 but works perfectly fine with my S7, and oddly enough, my rooted cheap amazon fire tablet.

    Vent idk. I haven't used vent since like 2010.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Money is tight this season so cheaper would be better but I also don't want junk so if I have to save up, I'll save up. I don't need to listen to the ps4 sounds, just need to listen to my static and speak to them at the same time without scrambling for push to talk. Wired/wireless doesn't matter either.

    Then you should be able to pick just about anything you like wearing. Discord\\'s settings for sensitivity are actually pretty good. You can even just test with your phone alone first. Mics have come a long way. I\'ve had some cheap ear buds with an in line mic that still were pretty good at noise canceling. I can\'t really suggest anything outright, but most of the time it\'s about finding the right sensitivity level.

    Truth be told, I've been shopping around for a blue tooth headset myself for when I travel. So I'm hoping someone chimes in before I just pick one and roll with it.
