 Call of Duty Widow |

| My husband is a remarkably talented gamer. He's plays everything from "Ghosbusters" to "Small Huge Planet," from "Modern Combat 2" to "Rock Band" to NSMB. He's played nearly every system available in the USA, but prefers the diversity of PS3. Out of essential, he mastered the art of before a live audience with the TV on mute (a courtesy to me, we all know how late things can go). But all that changed, this past holiday season when his amazingly kind wife (that would be me!) bought him a brand rapid new pair of these! So far, he's had nothing but clear things to say. Particularly, he's mentioned the volume reins, by and large flexibility and comfort, chat boost, the surround sound effect, and kindness of in game sound. So he gives it an A in gaming and I give it an A+ for letting me sleep :) |
If You Have a PS3.....

| ....then you categorically have to have this. The sound quality and the skill to adjust the different volumes is outstanding. I play Call of Duty about 90% of the time online and this just makes the entire online encounter better. I use to get into games with kids making annoying noises etc. Now with the push of a finger I don't have to listen to it but I can still hear the game perfectly. In fact, a buddy and me went into a private match on shipment. I could hear him from across the map setting up claymore's, pulling grenade pins, moving and even swiping his knife. The only halfhearted thing I have to say about this headset is that it's not wireless but I am sure that would add quite a lot of money to the price. They are also extremely light and comfortable and .................................................You know what, stop conception this and just go buy a set of these by now. |
Cheat and use your HDMI Audio. This Headset is Awe-inspiring!

First of all, with the right setup, you can use HDMI sound. If your TV is equiped with a(n) "Audio Out" then you are in buisness. TV Audio out is nearly always on, even if not being used. It transfers all sound on TV to the componant plugs so you can run your tv through a sterio or any other device yo want. If you run your PS3 on HDMI, than the sound is by now being transferred to this componant plug. If you by now forward this sound to a tuner, you can place the P21 RCA plugs in line and reconnect to your tuner. Now, sound will go to your P21 and you DO NOT need to turn your tuner on. If you dont have sound running yet, simply buy a small 3 foot length rca set, hook up to tv, place P21 plugs in line.. and Walla! you have game sound. Doing this, you do not need to re set up your ps3 sound, and you will run full HDMI all the time. ( just make sure the red and white plugs are not touching if they are dangling )
Now, the Headset themselves, they are awe-inspiring. the buzzing sound some people here is because the red and white sound connectors are close or touching. There is still a small ambient sound but it is gone during game play.
I am currently trying to get the rest of my MW2 team to get these. I was hiding in afgan and I heard footsteps a mile a way. I got the drop over and over again... SWEEET Setup! |
Exact for Call of Duty!

I got my pre-order of MW2 on release date... my wife couldn't sleep that night. After researching dozens of ps3 headsets, I finally settled for these because many people said "Exact for Call of Duty". They were categorically right!!! You can hear your enemies finishing in on you.... every foot step, every reload, EVERYTHING so damn clearly that it's nearly like a Complete Studios ride.
Yes... there is a hissing. I was worried at first but after really listening to it, it's NOT A Huge DEAL! I equate it to listening to your boombox or notebook speakers... you can also hear a slight hissing on those but after the music starts, you'll forget it's there. Trust me... the sound that this baby does will blow you away. The mic is exact too!! Noise cancelling and you can hear your own voice so won't yell at the mic. It's very comfortable; I wore them for 5 hours straight (I wear glasses) and it never bothered me.
Even though most people are gonna be broke this holiday (Murderer's Creed 2, MW2, God of War Pool, Uncharted 2...) try to make a small budget for these. You will delight in all those new releases (and ancient ones too) x 100. Perfectly worth it! |
Best thing I've bought for my PS3 since Front line Terrible Company

I was researching headsets that mixed chat and the game sound in stereo in the earphones, with the chat mic all as a single unit. I came across the press release of the PX21. Not available at the time, but coming soon. I nearly didn't wait for it. I nearly bought the P21. I'm glad I waited.
Features:
- You hear chat and stereo game sound in the earphones.
- Setup was simple for me and they provide all the cables and adapters you need.
- The cable is looong. I play on a 58" TV and I wouldn't want to sit as far away as the cable
would let me.
- A control cluster for mic and sound that gives you:
* Break volume reins for game sound and chat volume
* Mute switch for the mic
* Bass boost
* Expanded stereo mode
What I liked:
- The stereo effect is excellent especially with the stereo expansion mode turned on.
If there's an enemy behind me and to the left, I hear him behind me and to the left.
As noted in other reviews there *is* a hiss. More on that later.
- The sound quality is excellent. And by that I mean for before a live audience video games. I have a set of $120
Sennheiser can headphones I use for home tape. Music sounds fantastic in them. Before the
PX21 I used those plugged into a Dolby 5.1 amplifier being paid an optical sound feed. The PX21
is much better for before a live audience video games because the sound is crisper. Music may not sound
fantastic on them, but I can hear the enemy sneaking up on me.
- Mic. The mic boom has a fantastic range of passage and stays in no matter what position I place it.
Other people tell me I come across excellent and clear. The mute switch is fantastic, of course...
why would you make a headset lacking one?
- Comfortable. Again, compared to my Sennheisers, these are much more comfortable. The earpads
are fabric covered and the headband isn't tight. You don't develop a headache or aching ears
after a couple of hours of play. The mic boom is long, bendable and comfortable to use.
- And mostly what I liked... I play better. From the first time I used it, I consistently
scored higher.
What I don't like
- Hiss. Yes, it hisses. A small in normal mode, significantly more in expanded stereo mode.
Again, it might be a problem listening to music or silent passages in other games. But you
really only need expanded mode in games where directions of sound cues are vital. Turn
of the stereo expansion when you don't need it and the hiss is negligible. If you want to
listen to music, get a pair of $120 Sennheisers and leave the headset for the games.
- The clip on the control cluster is backwards. Hard to clarify, but whenever I try clipping
the control cluster to my shirt, the wires hang awkwardly.
If you're a gamer, buy this headset. I researched before I bought it and it looked like the best thing on the market for what I was looking for. And I believe it is. |
