You have to go through an amp. It has a stereo connection. Try this. Get a fiber toslink cable and connect it from your PS3 to your amp. The headphones should connect to the amp.

However, you will have a problem speaking. The amp will not return a signal so these are only good for hearing sound not speaking. These are made for computers. 
 
There is a USB version of the same headset. I'd return these and get those instead. The USB headsets are plug and play on the PS3.

Colossus u shud of asked first

those are a PC gaming headphone set

You would be better off with 40 dollar pair of Turtle Beach X1s

they dont do much but they do block out distracting noises



I dont see why ppoeple buy headphones unless they are in MLG COD4 like me or have kids crying around them. Headphones do not help you that much track the enemy. Dont believe envys lies.

Anyways cancle that order if u can and buy turtlebeaches x1s. They hook up to ur AV cables. Nice and simple and great!!

The one and only PaW.

he did single him out but he is 100% correct heaphones dont really help as much as certain people/almost everyone believes headphones were made to block distracting noises yu go down the street with ur ipod on with headphones are ..are you trying to listen to ur music blockin out everyones distracting noise OR r you trying to listen to the guys footsteps whos around the corner? distracting noise can be anything it can be parents can be ur gf can be ur roomate ur child ur brother sister doesnt matter hell even the ps3s cooling fans just about any headphones would do as long as they are decent and those dollar store ones lol
 
 
 
edit: dont get me wrong i dont use headphones i have a daughter to listen to i need to make sure shes ok when shes sleeping but i do have a surround sound system a crank up  at night baby monitors rule lmao really thats why im alot better player at night then i am durin the day (if i play durin the day) my attention is to the little lady

If I could ban the talk about headphones and KBM until time immemorial I would.  I've grown weary of it.

i really dont see whats ur issues dude its not like anyone is argueing he asked a question about headphones because he purchased headphones the people who use headphones or know how they effect gameplay are giving their imput its not like anyone is arguing we are just giving our opinion if we find it an advantage or not.. and really its not im just trying to save this dude some money because its pointless a surround sound system would suffice unless he personally is trying to block out every other sound because i dont know where he lives i dont know his lifestyle so really there is no point in you trying to start a fight here when no one is starting anything yes i do understand pawweezy named someone but dont make things worse as it is you gave a warning we are just giving our opinion because we use it or know how it TRUELY effects gameplay thats like you going to buy a lawnmower to play ut3 because they told u it would improve ur game... pointlessssssss

I didn't have a problem with the thread until it became something other than whether he bought a good pair or not.  re-read the thread and you tell me when the thread become something else.

re read the thread paw and allow urself to understand and in case ur not aware yet I have to read all these posts because it's my job to.  I'd rather not continue listening to redundant ramblings.  you answered the man's question already so unless he asks you one back you can move on.

I fail to understand why you let urself get so excited over things Crow.  the rules are quite simple.. don't single anyone out..stay on topic and last but not least (and although this isn't a rule it damn well ought to be) stop RAMBLING about it already.  We all get how you, Paw and Inc feel about KBM, Headphones and boring kills.  we get it.  now let's get back on topic or let's all move on if we can't.

Thx

Roll, when u start coming in here more often and such you will see that if mods don't strive to keep people on topic this whole thing becomes a mess (check the Epic forums and you'll see what I mean).  

if we simply let everyone run verbally amuck no one would like it.  As it is we mods have to contend with various personality types and as you can see, depending on the topic, some are more passionate about things than others.  Some so passionate that the very mention of certain key phrases sends them into a downward in-cohesive rambling spiral that syphons the very spirit that we're trying to engender and cultivate within the site.  So in the interests of time and such Im going to try to ascertain if Collussus still needs help with his issue and if he doesn't I will simply lock the thread and this will hopefully stave off temporarily all of this unnecessary rhetoric.

next time watch pawweezy aiming at them through walls before they even appear. i wonder how he knew they were there. headphones let you know exactly where your opponents are. just ask any non-liar and they will tell you the same. if all they did was block out noise they would use $1 ear plugs instead of $200-400 pair of headphones and no telling what an amp costs. if this is all they do(lmmfaoxDD), then why spend this much on noise blockers? ive used them and know they help 10 fold on knowing what your opponent is doing, if they are picking up armor/health and where exactly they are the whole intire time. this is why they stop in the middle of duels and listen..$400 dollar noise blockers xDDDDD

That was the most pointless argunent ever and Potoricans patients amazes me, on most forums talking to a mod like that u'de be out, i understand ur point tho RC. Anyway I don't really like Headphones, they get anoying, ear peices are much more comfortable, i think the only thing that gives you an advantage with finding ppl sound wize is suround sound.
Ha! We've got guns!, No what you have are bullets and the hope that by time you've fired im not still standing because if I am, you'll be dead befor you've reloaded

on the battlefield we're all opponents, on this site, we're all supposed to be family.  As such sometimes brethren will vent and such.  I have much respect for Crow and we'll move past it as we have before.  I want to keep our 'family' together and sometimes a little venting is what the doctor ordered.

potorikan biased much? jesusss

and envy, no one spends that much money on headphones

mine were 40 bucks

and earplugs would block out all noise including the game, u dont wat that

please next time u argue about something at least try to persuade us that u actually know a lil about what ur talking about, cuz now u seem like u have never been educated

and i dont use my headphones anymore really becuase i dont need them to win, i never had needed them, they just kept me focused

get over urself

Bye

Guys what did I say. This thread hasn't gone to far off topic. Thank ya'll are wrong there but arguing about what they do is stupid. They r what they r and people that don use them like to blame their losses on anythang but theirselves. Get over it and get over us. Envy were cool but u see it all the wrong way.
