Anybody know if the Sony Headphones have been released in the UK yet?
MayamanI've owned all the current headphones and the Astros are easily the best, both in sound and quality and presentation. I have both the wired and wireless. Get them you won't regret it.
G24I got a quick question for you I'd you don't mind, do the Astros A40 allow you to run three sources at once? For example, playing music from iPod, while listening to race effects from the game, while chatting on the mic? Is this possiable? Thanks in advance
P.S I'm familiar with the hook-up of wires and connections I just need a answer if it can work this way or not
mikochuYeah, you can do that...You may have to play chat audio through your speakers, though...I'm not sure. Check the Astro website for the MixAmp Pro/5.8 wiring diagrams.
I don't have a MixAmp yet, but I've been doing my research...
Thanks, I've downloaded their wiring diagram and have read it carefully, and although it states you can mix your own music in with the game's special effects track, but it doesn't clarify that you can chat and listen at the same time. Although this should be possiable, I just need the reassurance, before plunking down my cash- other than that, looks like a solid solution to my needs.
Can you double check me?

MayamanYes you can run everything at once, every input. For instance I use the Xbox party chat as my in game comm for PS3 games for my clan since the PS3 chat is such garbage. So we'll have the 360 chat, PS3 game audio, and a seperate channel with music running from my ipod, ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
Hope this helps.
Ok here's an update about the PS3 wireless headphone
Confirmed.
Once you turn on the headphone, the console will divert all audio to headphone, including the one came out from composite cable (RCA).
mikochuOooo! The X-Tatic Sound Control Unit...that's what I want.
The headset I am personally using and love no matter what the contents is I am using it for (music, video or games) is the Sennheiser PC360.
I'm thinking of buying this. Thumbs up, LogiForce?
It's a great headset, but with a USB sound card like the Soundblaster Play it only lets voice through on the PS3. Just a warning on that.
Apart from that the sounds is awesome and sounds very natural. The dynamic range of the headset is the best by far from any headset out there. I love it no matter what I listen to, or what I plug it into for that matter. Music, videos, voice chat, gaming. It all sounds equally good. And I am a very picky guy when it comes to how audio should sound.
The microphone I always get praises about because it's so clear and my voice gets through perfectly.
I ended up ordering Turtle Beach's new DSS2 Dolby Headphone amp. I should get sometime next week. I had their DSS for a little bit and I was content with it. The DSS2 adds a selection of EQ settings that simulate speaker position. Also, they added an auxiliary in for listening another source (mp3 player, etc.). I'll be using my Grado SR60s with it for now...I still haven't found a good set of gaming headphones...
I was set on the A40 headset with a MixAmp Pro, but after doing some research and lurking their forums, Astro Gaming seems to have a bad reputation. Also, their mic/amp don't seem to play well with 3rd party controllers (Razer Onza and Fanatec CSR)...
This sounds more like fanboy rhetoric than anything. What I've noticed is that people like to bag on the Astros because of the price. I've owned literally every headset mentioned in this thread and other than the high end Sen's and my $600 Grados, nothing compares to the Astros for complete package. Sound, quality of materials, comfort. I have to say most of those "reviews" or comments are full of shat. Just my opinon of course but as long as your happy.
LOL I wasn't calling you a fanboy, just the comments about Astro. Been seeing them for years now. Same mysterious "batch" since 2008 LOL.
anyway, as long as your happy with your purchase thats all that matters. I own four different Astro's with mixamp and wireless mixamp, the earbuds, etc. Excellent products and best bang for the buck for people that actually care of gaming sound IMO or course.
I'm anticipating the Tritton/Madcatz warhead 7.1 but their obviously having production or technical issues.
Is there a Mic Volume control?
