What Others Say
Don't waste the money
I purchased these to test the surround headphones theory. They were quite the disappointment. They sound particularly bad when watching movies. The dialogue sounds muffled and distant, as if you are hearing it through a tank of water. In a pinch, the phones work acceptably for gaming. With the digital out cable, there is enough separation of sound to get a sense of direction, but the volume levels of particular channels aren't adjustable, so it's not a substitute for a normal room system. I used these for Socom Confrontation and COD 4 on the PS3. It was generally difficult to tell how close sounds were coming from. In general, I'd say save the 20 bucks that you would waste on these and save for a higher quality pair. If you don't agree, I'd ... Read More
please....
the are great if you like excessive bass, a very short cable and you only have 13 bucks.one other thing...when you connect them to your xbox 360 you cant hear other people talking because the sound only comes out from one of th ear-cups, and yes,I tried all the different voice settings on my 360 to see if it worked and none did.
Love them
This device can be used with an HDTV to listen to the true 5.1 sound. I use a small HDTV for a computer monitor, and sometimes I just want to watch TV. Headphones can't reproduce the sound the same way a home theater does, because as you move your head, the headphones move with you, but they produce as good a listening experience as you can get if you don't want to use speakers and disturb those around you. I would market them as an HDTV device instead of a gamer's device. I work at a TV station, and it is helpful to be able to monitor the work I have done with such an inexpensive and useful item. Don't expect them to replace a whole home theater, but for what they are, they work just fine.
Great deal for $20
I hooked these up to my Xbox 360 and was pleasantly surprised for the money.
The bass response is very impressive, and the left right separation is also surprisingly good. The L/R separation is the best feature, as you can really hear the difference between front right, dead right and rear right. Walking past something in a game and hearing it sweep along you is really well done. When the sound sweeps behind or in front it's not a smooth transition. The simulated rear and center front are workable, but not convincing (not a replacement for physical speakers).
Overall I'd say the sound is comparable to a set of the lower line Sennheiser over the ear phones.
OK, but don't get your hopes up
Pros:
-Takes both optical & coaxial inputs.
-Volume control mounted on unit.
-Look nice.
-Headset completely covers my ears.
Cons:
-The Optical input has some noise, but isn't so bad after turning up the volume. The Coaxial input has alot of noise, very annoying.
-The headset is kinda shallow on the inside & ends up pushing against my ears & they start to hurt after about an hour.
-The sound is poor. It isn't even average. Kinda bass heavy, then the mid-range is all over the place & the treble is non-existant. Sometimes it sounds like you're in a tunnel.
-There are a ton of cords to keep track of. There is the power supply, the line input, the little base that ... Read More
