  • Yes you only get the chat audio on the PS3 no in game audio.

  • Will these work with my PS3, and will the sound be mixed with the chat (speech and game sound in headset) or will it just be voice chat. Please reply as soon as possible.

  • Yes this will, you will only get the chat audio as far as I know.

  • So have you tried it on a ps3. Because i want to buy them for my ps3 and if you did how good did they work??? Thanks!!

  • Works great with the PS3

  • good review but any idea why my 655 does not work on either WinXP or Mac OSX? I know for WinXp it is supposed to pick up MS's Generic USB Audio Device driver but that has yet to happen. Currently plugged into my Mac BP and the headset does not go live. My son used this on a newly configured Win 7 PC and said he was able to hear but never heard himself, he thinks he might have damaged the I/O but I doubt it, I think it's driver issue? Would like your thoughts.

  • Before looking at the driver make sure that you select the usb headset in the sounds preferences in OSX. If you have done this I would investigate the driver.

  • 2 feet??? That's only 60cm :-| Please explain???

  • Thank you for the review!

  • it sounds great man, and THANK YOU for actually using it in the review!

  • @whiteknightbob1  fits great!

  • @GrimCreeper224 yes you can hear the sound from the game but i tried to talk online but nothing came out

  • i bought my for my ps3 and i wonder if i play private match, could i chat with my friends, anyway my name is going4SkillZz in playstation network.

  • @raceman58 also if you use them on PS3 you only get chat audio, which is actually ACCURATE to a life situation. soldiers in the field have their focus on their headset, and then ambient noise, so they can communicate reliably with HQ. so it's great to chat clearly with your squad members and have background ambiental noise from another speaker, like a 5.1 sound system, it feels real and life-like. also it's no match for the price, it really delivers, both input and output.

  • my ears hurt because of pressure, if i use them more than 1 hour

  • @JordanTheCheapGeek if they work great with the ps3 why doesn't even calibrate when i try to make them work

  • @JordanTheCheapGeek

    so it wouldnt be so good for ps3?
