Re: Gaming headsets

Congrats buddy. They are amazing and you will not be dissapointed in the sound quality

Yeah, they feel great (got them in the mail at work today). Haven't connected them or anything, but they feel like I'd be able to wear them a long period and not get annoyed. Very high build quality.

Re: Gaming headsets

The headset feels and sounds awesome!

I didn't have much time to play with it past getting it set up so it'd work, but I'm very happy with the purchase. It just feels quality, definitely not the cheap feel you get with some headsets.

I have to mess with my cheap 1 to 2 digital audio splitter (using it in reverse to combine xbox and ps3 audio into the headset), but it wasn't working quick last night.

I've read online that these will work as long as one of the 2 optical audios are turned off, but have to test my cables (it may be a cable problem). Anyone have any experience with this? Was trying to limit my purchase for this to the 5 buck monoprice box than anything actually expensive.

I know they have the cheap manual switchers, but then I have to go switch myself lol

I'll give more feedback tonight when I actually have more time to play, but the Bluetooth on PS3 worked great and DCUO sounded awesome in the headset, so clear and distinct with each sound.

Does your TV have opitcal out? That's what I was going to use.

Oh yeah, back in for headphones again. Realized I just couldn't love the surround sound speaker bar. Waiting for more impressions of the PX5's, since so far, I've read mostly every complaint from the X41's has been addressed.

It does, but I'm going through my surround sound system, and that doesn't have optical out. I need to tinker with it a bit more, maybe swap some cables and whatnot and see what happens. It theoretically should work, given that PS3 and Xbox don't send a signal when they're off. I think I have cable issues, maybe the one that comes with the PX5 isn't that quality of a cable (or one of my other ones). I'll let you know if I figure it out.

Once I play more I can give you impressions (I was setting it up after 11 and whatnot, so wasn't going to be up all night).

Any specific questions/issues I can look for so I can answer?

Re: Gaming headsets

Anybody know if the PX5 (or any of these headsets) can also be used to watch TV with? Also, with the sourround sound wireless headsets, my receiver doesn't have a headphone port.. doest that make me not able to use them?

The PX5's take in any digital optical cable, so if your tv or whatnot has a optical out then you could use that to pass into the PX5 and it should stream that to the headset.

Obviously then you have to manage all your optical cables (I may have to buy a switch if I can't figure out my splitter/cables), but it'll work

Re: Gaming headsets

That's the one thing that works for me, I have each HDMI cable going into my TV, so I just optical out into the PX5 receiver and will just have to turn them on to stream TV, Blu-ray or 360.

Yeah, that may be something I do as well...need to see if both PS3 and 360 will output quality audio on both HDMI and the optical cable at the same time...I'd like to keep the surround sound working still, but also have limited stuff to do when I want to use either.

Do you have surround sound or just use the tv?

My receiver died, so just the TV at this point.

From what I've read, you don't actually have to have 5.1 coming into the receiver to the headphones, as it's not true 5.1/7.1 sound, it's simulated (and they are headphones anyway), so you will still get the surround sound experience.

Gotcha...I know PS3 will deliver do dual audio (one optical one hdmi), and I believe Xbox can too, so I may have to switch things up.

The PS3 one going to my TV would then be 2 channel though, but if you think it doesn't matter then that could be the way for me to go...

Explain this to me, maybe i'm not thinking straight. If I put the optical out into the Headset, it wouldn't be wireless anymore, wouldn't it? Or is there some kind of receiver?

He's talking about putting the optical cable into the transmitter unit that the headset comes with, not the headset itself.

Re: Gaming headsets

The headset sounded great while playing what little of The Show I could this weekend.

I'm just swapping optical cables into the transmitter for now, haven't had time to mess with it/tinker.

I'd recommend these, though I haven't played much online yet (on Xbox or PS3). I'll let you know more info when I do, just was a crazy busy weekend.

So what do you think of them so far?

I sold my x41's last week.

And yea these are virtual 5.1 7.1 ss

It can be true since there is only 1 speaker in each cup

But virtual simulated ss is better then direct since it is easier to pick up the low notes on headsets then standard home theater 5.1
