    People can correct me if I'm wrong, but any of the wireless ones that take in the Optical Audio Out cable will work with Xbox One. I have a pair of old PX5's that would work, and I'd just have to get the adapter cable for the Xbox Live voice chat.

        Yeah, i don't know when USB ones will get full support in the new consoles....Good luck though! I love my PX5's even with a bit of interference....great for when I don't want to wake people up.

          Yeah, if your headsets have an optical input they should work. I have TB x42's and they work, but the drawback is that the One doesn't send surround sound signal through it's optical output. I hope they add support for that in a future update.

            For anyone in the market for a great gaming headset, Astro gaming currently has their A30, A40, and A50 systems on sell through Monday.



            One thing to note, if you scroll over the product tabs it will show a full price tag. You have to actually go to the product page to see the discounted price.

            I just purchased the 2013 A40 system for $187(they're usually $250). It's an even better deal for me when you consider that I already have an older Mixamp from Astro and a Sennheiser headset(the PC 350's). Gonna try and sell that as a package for $100 or something.

              Re: Gaming headsets

              I have the px3 for my ps3 and was wondering if they would work with the ps4 and if so how do I hook them up or what would i need to get to make them work.
              Or should i just get the px4 and not worry about it??

                After the update, my A50 headset works perfectly with my PS4 and not need for the cord for voice chat.
                I am the lesson after the fall.

                      Imo gaming headsets are not very good audio quality and you are better off getting a pair of dedicated headphones and a separate mic. Not sure if the Xbone or PS4 support doing that like the 360 does but imo that is the way to get the best audio experience.

                      Just my two cents.

                      If I had recommend a pair they'd be the Sennheiser 558 HDs

                        I asked this in the PS4 system thread but I really should have posted it here. Any ways I am thinking of getting the turtle beach earforce PX22 headset and would like your guys thoughts on it. Also are they compatiable with the PS4? They are on sale for boxing day here in canada at my local eb games for $59.99 down from $89.99. Thanks.

                          Just got these yesterday! The microphone is very clear, and the game audio sounds supurb. There should be a config. for PS4, but I just plugged it in to the monitor. We paid $69.99 US, so $59.99 sounds like a deal. They are a little bit heavy on the head, and the bass needs a bit of a boost. Anyway, if you want these headphones ONLY for gaming, go ahead! If you want these headphones to be universal, hold off.
                          *NOTE: This headset needs USB power as you are using it!

                            I want to get non-Bluetooth headset for commentary purposes (not even primarily for gaming). Which of these are recommended for voice quality for ~$300 or less?

                            In other words, I'm less concerned about the sound output than I am about the mic input. I don't even know if I need headphones with them... though I would like it to be attached to my head.

                            Sorry that I'm posting this in the "Gaming headsets" section, but this still seemed like the best fit with the most knowledgeable posters.

                              Do you mean something like a USB headset? If so: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/bes...ffice-headset/

                                I just wanted to make sure I'm getting the best mic possible, or whatever.
