Astro A50. Prepare your wallet though. Expensive.. but you get what you pay for on these.

I have these but have not been able to get them to work with the PS4 as of yet. I know it can be done as I've been to their site and have followed the setup procedure but still no sound. I have not updated the firmware on the headset since I bought them, its a hassle, so that may be the issue.

Anyone here with A50s have any success with the PS4?

Ah, never mind, updated to the latest firmware and they work like a charm!

Re: Gaming headsets

I bought these for now (have better quality headset but it's for 360 only ).



My question is this...

Can someone on here more tech savvy than I please help me out with setting them up on my PS4?

I found this picture but the problem is that I do not have red & white audio jacks on my TV that are out, they are all in. (55" LG, pretty new)

Spoiler

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



EDIT: Disregard, I found a work around to get my much nicer 360 gaming headset to work with my PS4.

I'm just missing one component which I can pick up anywhere, a 3.5mm to 2.5mm male to male cable (to connect it to the DS4).

Lots of scouring on the internet for info paid off, who knew.

I snagged these not knowing I could use my Astro A50's. Once I opened them I can't take back to GameStop. Oh well. They do sound nice

Just picked up the PX4s! So far they sound great! Cant wait for them to be completely wireless after the next update (Hopefully)

Re: Gaming headsets

for Boltman, Flightwhite, or anyone else using Turtle beach. there is now a support section to set up chat for the ps4 with px4.

here it is:

actually seems similar to what you had to do on the ps3 I think.

Yea, I went to pick up one of those chat cables today. That's what I needed.

Do stores carry these cables? I tried ordering from the Turtle Beach website, but they are out of stock.

Not exactly, I had to go to radio shack to buy the part I needed (the coupler).

I already had a 3.5mm & 2.5mm cable from my other headsets, I needed to combine them so it was 2.5 on one end and 3.5 on the other.

they should. only need a 2.5 mm to a 3.5 mm cable. I am sure Amazong and monoprice among others carry these.

I got a 2.5 to 3.5 off of Amazon last week, and the mic didn't work with my x42. I thought maybe the one from Turtle Beach was special, maybe I'll try the one I have again.

Still the best out there IMO(at least ones that are semi affordable).

Well in a sense they are a bit different, the 3.5mm jack has three rings on it like in the pic of the link I posted.

Most other ones that you buy generically have only two.
