Logitech F540 Wireless Gaming Headset Setup & Review

[TheRaphaable]

would it work when i use pc ? i mean the usb cable for ps3 chat provides chat , or doesnt it ? and i could use a 3.5mm to chinch cable for sound ? will this work ?

[TechThoughts]

Does it work on a mac?

[TheFootballFish]

@TechThoughts It does

[inevitablecake]

To answer PC Questions: I paid $102.00 something for this new. For PC Gaming, This is not very good for it. Unless you plan on NOT using TS3 or Ventrilo. The Sound Quality is amazing, The Signal and Battery life is Amazing, Although you CAN get the microphone to work but the microphone device will cut out once you get into a game. Usually in ts3 I had to set a hotkey inorder for me to use the mic again and not alt+tab.

[Jxckoo]

how is that wireless ?

[yussefoh]

Can you help me i play on PS3 and i use a HDMI cable so how do i set it up?

[CODelite49]

GTFO!! bitch

[281slik]

[TheSharpmarksman]

[WhiteSpir1t]

For thouse Who are having problematisk with hdmi Cable, u got to pluggen in the red and white standard defeniton vanleg outputs upon the other to red and white cables that are attached to the TV :) Thumbs up so every noob can see :)

[SharpyKnife]

[TheVindictiv3]

i also play on hmi just on the ps3 how would i set that up ?

[IxSPAWNxKILL]

no 7.1 surround?

[ghosthunter64]

DO NOT BUY THIS MIC!

[KINGOFTHEOVERLORDS1]

is this headset good for soundwhoring in call of duty or halo

[ToocharoHarachu]

i stod in the local shop and asked the dude that worked there if this headset worked for computer too, he said yes, but i can't understand how the hell im supposed to do it when it's nothing in the manual or on youtube...

[ulfenstyle]

@ToocharoHarachu you use the PS3 USB thingy, then after ur done with that u go to sound options and change them to default device for the headset.

[chigger38]

no audio with HDMI help

did both pug into tv with red and white cables

and AUG cable

[EpicVblogs]

is it surround sound?

[Myst3ry1996]

so what do you doo if u have an HDMI chord connected to ur tv?? u use the AUX?

[MrSlickBomb]

between sony offical headset 7.1 n f540: id get the f540 becuz they can hook up to xbox n music devices as well

[Matiasps3ftw]

what headset should i buy? the sony ps3 7.1 wireless headset or logitech f540?

[mrodriguez119]

@Matiasps3ftw This logitech headset is 7.1 or 5.1?

[pineapple717]

Just bought these, they connect effortlessly with almost any appliance through the aux input, I still use my hdmi cable for my Xbox, the only problem might be the need to connect the headset to your 360 controller still for voice, game audio is wireless, ps3 is still fully wireless though for both voice and game audio

[xboxmodderzzz]

*how

[xboxmodderzzz]

hiw are they for cod mw3

[Rinx7]

You can add any sound processing to this headset, and you will have a wireless surround headset that is compatible with any system.

[DjHardDriver]

what is best for ps3 Logitech F 540 or Official Sony wirelees 7,1 virtual sorrund headset?

[MrThomasByrne]

@HotFieryTech i dont hear the game audio while using the HDMI setup i only hear the voice chat :/ help me please (im playing on ps3)

[mandy9670]

what is the difference between these and the G930

and the G35 (besides wireless and price)

[treysl99]

@mandy9670  the G930 is wireless

[Ferox04]

How about using this with a PC?

I have two soundcards, and I'm capable of configuring one of them to output the game, and the other one just Skype. Do you think I can hook up anything I want to the "Xbox chat" input on the headset itself, or does it only work with the xbox controller?

[RuinedApple]

On ps3 you can use the av cables and hdmi at the same time so yeah it works with hdmi

[MrOleleif]

Can u use this headset with HDMI plugged in?

[xZachary94x]

my headset wont connect to the wireless station. Anyone have any ideas?

[Flowstream31]

Can you use them for Mac?? ( For Skype??)

[Andyboi45]

@Flowstream31 Check out Logitech G930:D

[MisterNyaah]

@Flowstream31 Yes. Indeed you can.

[thagr813012]

what if you use a hdmi  cables?

[kaltask1]

are you sure that you cannot turn off the repeat? please answer. why would logitech do that :S

[elrifico]

I play on a moniter using HDMI. Could I just use a caple to connect my moniter to the AUX in? I have a cable with 3.5mm thing on each end which would connect the 2. would it work?

[HotFieryTech]

@elrifico Yes it could work. Are you using a console or a computer?

[elrifico]

@HotFieryTech Console. Xbox 360

[HotFieryTech]

@elrifico Yes, you can do that and it will work fine. Then, for chat, just use the cable included with the headset and plug the headset into the controller.

[elrifico]

@HotFieryTech Thanks for the help!

[mrodriguez119]

@HotFieryTech men this logitech headset is 7.1 or 5.1 or is not surround sound?

[Cameragirl1399]

You can hear yourself talk on turtle beaches too

[flyingmanforfun]

wtf! i though this shit would be wireless on 360 too-.-fuck these ones tritton x720 here i come!

[acaliasi]

i hear myself when i talk and its very anoying.how do i stop that?

[alejandro4211]

the ps3 surround sound 7.1 true are much better an thet are 50$ less

[policehemanthkumar]

Dose it also work for pc/mac ?

[iKhrisPhoto]

@policehemanthkumar no theres a PC version G930

[ingveeeeee]

DONT buy it, it sucks i have it ...

[iKhrisPhoto]

@ingveeeeee whats wrong with it?

[ingveeeeee]

@iKhrisPhoto you cant hear when people come behind you, ok maybe sometimes but then its tolate, Tritton <3

[iKhrisPhoto]

@ingveeeeee ah fair enough was looking for a complete wireless headset for my ps3, I have the PC version of these and there great. So i thought these might be just as good

[addbro22]

Wow, that was painful listening to him speak

[dereklikesstuff]

Yeah what do i do if i use a HDMI cable?

[nokia6800]

that seems like a pain in the ass. there are too many cables and that apapter is huge lol



[MrNeno45]

if u have hdmi u can still use it just change audio settings u can change it even if your using hdmi changing only audio will not effect hdmi video

[BboyXSlide]

I would NEVERA buy these. They aren't 'known' to be a good headset. If you wan't a good headset, look into Trittons, Turtle Beach, and Astro.

[MrProdude69]

@BboyXSlide "I would NEVERA buy these." haha idiot

[robinZBG]

does this also work on pc?



[nyle123nyle]

Can u hear stuff behind you???

[BboyXSlide]

@nyle123nyle No, these don't have Dolby digital. These are terrible headsets.

[M4xima]

i have them, but idk how they works /facepalm

[PGHotboy]

what if you have an audio adapter?

[2CODKillers]

Hey man do you know how you could set this up with an hd pvr

[BboyXSlide]

@2CODKillers You have to have your compnent cabels plugged into your consold to your PVR then either your standard video/audio into your TV or HDMI. If you don't have an HDMI cable, you can't play in HD but it will record in HD.

[jshodan84]

can i use the aux in for tv and the Rca xbox360 for connect pc?

[marcanddoc]

omg this sucks.. so you can't use the headset for ps3 is you are useing hdmi!!

[toocool2beat]

Just bought it from ebay !!!!

[MrFlamders]

i dont hear the game audio, i cant only hear the chat thing... HELP ME!

[PanosOsbourne]

@MrFlamders logitech.com/f540/quickstart tells you 3 ways to get it to work.i used my old ps2 cable(yellow,white,red) for audio only and you have hdmi video,along with the other cable thingy audio.its great quality as well.

[Alza7f1]

use the aux and male to male 3.5mm if u want to run it in pc

[sydwtfidk]

CAN I USE THIS FOR XBOX 360 AND PC AT THE SAME TIME?

[Anestheticum]

I have an HDMI cable, can I use this headset?

[limozeen64]

@Anestheticum

For PS3 you can send the video thru HDMI and send the audio thru the composite cables. I'm not sure if it works like this on the 360 tho.

[1Fai9al1]

@myairjs I don't think that will work.

[myairjs]

if i hooked up my turtle beach dss would i get that simulated surround sound? do you still use this headset?

[1Fai9al1]

For those of you who want to hook up hdmi for video and audio from the headset...what you do is plug in the hdmi from ps3 to tv...then plug the regular colored wired that come with the ps3 in one side and the other side (red and white) into the receiver...then go to the ps3 home menu...go to sound or audio settings...and choose the last setting instead of hdmi for the audio output...then it should work...make to sure put the correct input on the headset...thats if your tv doesnt have an auxille

[GAMINGMATRIXXX]

Awesome review! Thanks.

[1Fai9al1]

I read a lot of reviews on amazon and the f540 has a higher rating than the px21 and the px5...I got my f540 yesterday and its AMAZING...I didnt have any problem hooking it up it was really easy it took like 5 mins...the sound on this headset is fantastic...the receiver gives more than 10 meters actually...anyone who wants to choose between the f540 and a turtle beach I say go for the f540 theyre excellent.

[bigomp45]

px3 or these

[Razmig24]

PX5 ftw

[jojojojo560]

I liked then Subscribed then commented lol

[AwwC00L]

so i cant have audio on my xbox unless im useing anolog........

[XxModoxX]

can you connect it to the pc and voice chat via skype?

[CheZzNii]

dude please help me im dissapointed.. i bought this friday and i installed everything... really everything. now the problem is i only got my gamesound in the left 'earpiece' and when they talk'chat' i hear it in both earpieces.. what do i need to do ? or is it broken ? :s sorry for bad english

[theTHANEshow]

@CheZzNii If you're only getting game sound in the left earpiece then that means there is something wrong with your red cable. The white cable is the left earpiece and the red cable is the right. Therefore, you might just need to plug in the red cable all the way, or take it back and get a new one, it could be bad equipment. Hope this helps.

[CheZzNii]

@theTHANEshow Hi ok nice for the help but when imm eumm playing mw2 when people talk with the voice chat i hear it in both earpeaces ;s but game sound only comes treu the right earpeace :s i hope you have even more information! and im so so soo sorrie for my english

[CheZzNii]

@theTHANEshow d

[PietahBroodjuh]

wait so it doesnt have suround sound? are u still able to sound whore in games as cod and battlefield? i need to choose between the px21 and this. i like that its wireless but if you cant sound whore its worthless to me wich one should i pick??

[sistematic1]

fucky up mattress



[5FatMonkeys]

This as "sturdy" as turtle beaches? Cause not even two years and im running through 3 turtle beaches..

[RVDFAN364]

@5FatMonkeys lucky for me 2 px21s and about 2 monthes

[givewarachance100]

I have a mac and I'm trying to use the microphone on ventrilo. Is this possible?

[Moonshine97]

Are these headset capable of having more than one headset for the console(360 or ps3)? like say if u have a friend with u whos also has the same kind of headset & u're both playing Black Ops on the same console....is it able to share the sound or is each one strictly solo??

[97Metube]

Should I get these for $140?

[TheKonah]

@ HotFieryTech how do i use my hdmi



[lBlackSt4r]

dose it work for pc

[TheWetFeathers]

I think this video took so long because you were hitting puberty bro! Haha watch your video before this one and listen to your voice! Good job!

[sarcasmo6]

I have heard that the upper volume is very low, is it true?

[sarfaraz697]

what do i plug in if i have a HDMI cable?

[Michaelmop]

@sarfaraz697 Using an HDMI cable won't make a difference, because in this case. The HDMI cable will only be used for video. The red and white cables you see in this vid are for audio. So plug your vga cable in your ps3 and the red and white in the adapter. It should work this way. I did the same thing with my Sennheiser I'm using atm.

[SourPussProductions2]

@sarfaraz697 you would still get the image from the hdmi cable but the audio would come from the component cables,

[SiKaHe]

@SourPussProductions2 Why doesnt this happen to me then?

(I use the Xbox 360S)

[piV787ZA]

@sarfaraz697 You Plug in HDMI and RCA

[BboyXSlide]

@sarfaraz697 For 360 you have to get an Adapter or break the plastic off the cable next to the HDMI port, or iit wont fit. I'm not sure about PS3.

[ThatCruckov]

@sarfaraz697

you can change the settings on the playstation, he mentions it briefly in the video ..

it's basically the same thing you'd do with any other gameing headset..

Set Video to HDMI and set sound to go through component or both ..

[bak2snus]

My mic doesnt work for Xbox 360, works fine for ps3 -both game and chat volume, but only game volume works for my Xbox :(:( It worked the first weeks, but since yesterday the mic wont work for my xbox...

[denmarkchrede97]

i got a ps3, i can just hear the chat voice in the headset not the game audio???????????????????? plaese help me!

[a7xMadx]

you have a big head. they are so comfortable

[rilind101]

will it work on the iphone or other phone? i mean like is it portable do you allways need the transmitter

[Miller3492]

all true gaming headsets play ur voice into the headset, its so u can hear urself and not have to yell, i would never buy a headset that didnt have that feature

[KC2TRiiKSHOTCINEMA]

The earcups squeeze my head... I just got it so it might be something that adjusts???

[MisterNyaah]

PX21's have Mic Monitoring and i didnt find it annoying. So im still getting this.

[MrMexicanZombie]

you can get these for 115 bucks now if you look :D

[DLinkSsUtube]

With ps3 can you play with HDMI?

[MisterNyaah]

@DLinkSsUtube Yes. Set the Video to HDMI and the audio to the 'RCA/SCART' option (or something along those lines)

[MFG666EmOTP]

@DLinkSsUtube use HDMI for this, and plus in standard def for the Headset

[Krisinsh]

Will it work on a pc if you plug a usb cable into the charging port and the other end in the pc making it not wireless anymore? I want to know because i can get cheap headset but it doesnt have a working receiver.

[thehill2240]

Does it work with and HDMI cable??

[NewfiePaintballer]

@thehill2240 it would but you'll  have to change the audio output to the analog in settings. you get hdmi video with analog audio.

[MisterNyaah]

@thehill2240 Yes. Set the Video to HDMI and the audio to the 'RCA/SCART' option (or something along those lines)

[John36580]

I have this its such a good headset...Soo good for hearing noobs coming around the corner!!!

[C4priCe]

when you talk you hear your voice (all the time) or just when you mute the mic? (Plzzzz Answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[SxeD4ve]

can i use this headset with my xbox when im using hdmi?

[tobbetobbelito1337]

If I buy this headset do I need to buy a Speed-Link Component Cable PS3 or is it included

[rewztah]

If I buy this headset do I need to buy a Speed-Link Component Cable PS3 or is it included?

[rewztah]

If I buy this headset do I need to buy a Speed-Link Component Cable PS3 or is it included??

[piV787ZA]

SO if I want Voice On Ps3 It acctually is not wireless(You have to plug a cable from the headset to ps3?????)

[EmperorTito]

@piV787ZA No. The cable goes from the back of the wireless receiver to the PS3 itself, not the headset.

[AnDoThEsKiLLeR81]

Whats better Px21 or this? im debating (for ps3)

[HotFieryTech]

@AnDoThEsKiLLeR81 Well, I've never heard the PX21, but I would imagine that the F540 would have better sound. Also, the F540 is wireless. Plus it has multiple inputs (if you ever get an XBOX). I would get the F540.

[vikp51]

@HotFieryTech I think PX21 is the TurtleBeach

[NewAgeRetroHippie2]

@HotFieryTech Px21 is a turtle beach headset and they made a new version dpx21 that has surround sound. So which should I get they are both $ 149.99. As a side note it will be my first gaming headset.

[sku96]

@HotFieryTech the px21 you could use for ps3/xbox/pc

[BboyXSlide]

@HotFieryTech He meant Turtle Beach PX21

[Dopeskiski]

@BboyXSlide PX21's suck dick, The frame is a piece of shit and the earphones snap off

[MisterNyaah]

@AnDoThEsKiLLeR81 PX21's are beast, as soon as i get this headset ill drop you a messege of which is better.

[AnDoThEsKiLLeR81]

@MisterNyaah lol ty bud but i got trittons a while ago now.

[bak2snus]

@AnDoThEsKiLLeR81 Ether this ir tritton :P

[christhecreeper]

@AnDoThEsKiLLeR81 tthe px21 has great sond but isnt very comfy and not durable at all.

[TehDotti]

@AnDoThEsKiLLeR81 I bought PX21 from Gamestop and they broke after month, so i picked up new ones from gamestop and those broke after 2months... i recommend to NOT buy PX21..those suck balls.

[wdrpsp19]

@AnDoThEsKiLLeR81 I think PX21 might be better (maybe surround sound). What did u end up getting?

[TheMrpanda806]

u kant set it up in hdmi ????????????

[robbyrocky711]

Can this work with the hauppauge hd pvr?

[26gerrit26]

yeah i already figured that to.

but i asked because i got a ps3 to and need also a headset for that :)

[26gerrit26]

can you also use it for PC ?

[HotFieryTech]

@26gerrit26 If you want to use it for PC, get the Logitech G930.

[snitchables]

@HotFieryTech So it cant be used for pc?

[oDevilx]

@snitchables actually .. u can .. but u need rca to 3.5mm

search on amazon for : 3.5mm to Stereo RCA Male Cable

[buzyajtee]

@snitchables it CAN be used for pc!!!

[snitchables]

@buzyajtee How? How do i make it work for pc then?

[buzyajtee]

@snitchables you can use the PS3 Mini-USB voice cable

[nokia6800]

@snitchables they have a pc version of this headset

[SuperCarsFullHD]

@26gerrit26 It works for the PC! there is support from the Logitech website.

[ArcTiCxVodka]

@26gerrit26 these work great for the pc my dad just bought them for me

[26gerrit26]

@ArcTiCxVodka doesn't matter i allready bought my G930 :P

[trueXgamingX1]

wat should i get these orrr tritton ax720!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! plz i need help choosing between these headsets :)

[HotFieryTech]

@trueXgamingX1 The AX720 is basically the same as this headset. It has "digital surround sound," but that isn't really surround sound. It is still stereo. I would go with the F540 because it is wireless.

[95NST]

@HotFieryTech OMFG, don't listen to this noob. I got Tritton ax720 and the decoder box gives you 5.1 surround sound, this shit don't even got digital surround sound it just has regular stereo 2.1. So go with the Trittons because you wont be dissapointed :)

[burnout915]

one more question, do you think these are better then the turtle beach px21's?

[HotFieryTech]

@burnout915 Never tried them.
