HE4DPH0NES--

ive used 4 diff headphones, dpx21 cheat the best for me =]

Nice 1 Seph I got the MW3 version 2 weeks ago for £176 which is cheap! They're great outputting to digital and switching on it tells me  "Ear force Delta powering on wireless chat mode". The sound is better than my old steel series but not by much imo. Astro A40 would be my choice but I wanted a totally wireless system with bluetooth so that I can use it on PC, Mac, phone and its compatible with 360 and PS3 wirelessly.

I tried them last weekend. That was awfull! Sound quality was absolutely waste...

get some Tritton AXPRO and you will change your mind. those cheap MW3 ones are garbage.

Originally posted by Zito44 Just let me set things straight those who say using headphones is cheating need to stop crying ALL competitive gamers use headphones watch MLG! If you don't like headphones being used against you then by a pair yourself they literally do not give you that much of an edge..now with that being said i use Turtle Beach x1 they are the least expensive and worst quality not to mention they are years old and the mic only works for xbox don't use headphones as an excuse of why you get worked.

agreed and that is EXACTLY WHY i own a pair of headphones.

Nice bro, I don't know if the decoder box and all the settings are the same as the AXPRO's but I will help you get your sound right coz it tokk for about a month of messing around with them to find what sounded the best for MW3 and UT3. I will be on later.

Amazon has the PX5 headset on sale for $150 shipped. Is that a good price?

Definitely going to pick up a pair here shortly unless someone can talk me out of the purchase lol...

Thanks for the feedback Seph!

Ok, a few more questions for the audiophiles.

Will the PX5 work with a PC?

I read about frequency issues with the PX5 somewhere that stated instead of 2.4 ghz it should be 5 ghz. My knowledge on this stuff is piss poor so if someone can translate the ghz issue, that would be helpful.

Are there any headsets on the horizon that will address the PX5's shortcomings? If a better headset were 6 months away (like concealed carry is in IL:) Woohoo!), I wouldn't mind waiting a little bit. Although with the rash of game purchases over the last several weeks, a headset (now) would be a nice accompaniment.

My brother keeps mentioning the Sennheiser 360, but he doesn't play the PS3. Anyone have any experience with that particular headset? Is it PS3 compatible? I know it's not wireless but that's not a big issue. I have a $15 pair of Sennheiser headphones that are phenomenal. Ze Germans are always putting out nice sh!t...

Does your PC have an Optical Cable Input? If not you will need this: http://www.turtlebeach.com/product-detail/cables-parts/x31x3-stereo-audio-splitter-cable/273

I'm not an expert but basically the PX5s run on the same frequency as some routers meaning the router signal can interfere and cause annoying static and sound loss. (Get a more expensive router or just don't use wifi in the px5 vicinity) My px5 amp and router are 3 feet away, I only get static if someone in the house is downloading uncontrollably.

I have a $20 pair of Sennheisers that I occasionally use with my Px5 amp and they are so good.

I would recommend these: (I plan to get them and I own the px5s) http://www.astrogaming.com/a30
The A40s and A50s are better than the 30s obviously, but unless you plan to be an MLG pro it's not necessary. Astros are famous for their mixamp as well.

Originally posted by chisox666 Lol Phantaci you just made the situation all the more complicated by bringing the Astro's into the mix. They do have really good reviews. So now I have 3 choices: 1) PX5 for $150 + $20 for rechargeable AA's = $170 shipped 2) PC 360 with Astro Mixamp $186 + $130 = too much 3) A30 + Mixamp $200 shipped The PX5's are hard to pass up at that price.

If your router isn't going to be an issue, get the Px5s. I use them to watch movies and man its epic.
Recently watched the Dark Knight Rises on blu-ray with my Px5s.

My router is a Linksys WRT54GL which is 2.4 ghz. The base for the PX5 would be about 3 feet from the router. Hopefully that won't present any problems.
