Buying list~ a must have ^^ been waiting it for long time d

nice..looking for headset though..hope not very expensive

have to see people review first on this...but im kinda interested...

Usd99.99? Less than rm350 for wireless headphones w mic?! Great deal!

before SONY put a 1000% markup on it...

not expensive laa compared to other brand headset

it's too cheap for a wireless virtual 7.1 headset.

expecting mediocre results

virtual 7.1 headset...not true 1, thats why cheap?

Question : Can this let you hear everything in game ? even when playing Single Player game etc etc ? i mean literally everything ?! Of course when play online the chat is working too..lolz

ermmm... imagine it as a 7.1 speaker, but this time it's close to ur ears ^^

still doesnt answer the question.
if it's stereo speakers converted to surround, then it's not going to be very good-you wont hear accurate audio positioning

yea i highly doubt it can be good...my sharkoon xtatic dolby 5.1 also cost me usd 130, so why sony charging usd 99?

new Turtle Beach headset 7.1 for ps3 also usd 240 ma...go look on amazon

i think this headset is targeting to those who doesnt mind not having superb sound quality but want to have everything

Hmmm better wait for the real thing...since i'm looking for a headset which can use on the PS3 while playing online and hear in game sounds too when playing single player :/

to me expensive compare to my Pioneer M290SE

Are these out in Malaysia?

^I think some sellers over here will have it soon.All i need is a review ! lolz

mine already on the way to me by Poslaju from JB...............lets me be white mice 1st..........

hey, can pm me the shop website or link? i wanna order also..

We are waiting for u Abg Tan

He's ordered from qisahn..but currently out of stock...need to wait for restock

This thing is looking good. Although I'm kinda hoping it is rm300 like that only since the price is the same like Ps move bundle which is 99$.

Gonna wait for review for abg tan first.

Just got mine. No reviews on performance of the headset yet as it's still charging. Will just show pictures of the unboxing.

The packaging


Once opened...


It certainly feels sturdy!


The side panels are made of the same material as the casing of the PS3 Slim. The top of the earphones are shiny silverish metal. Nice!


The receiver


The charging port and volume slider


The mouthpiece unfortunately cannot be moved up, only in and out...this is the in position...


And this is the out...


Press buttan, receive virtual 7.1!

Nice hope to hear your impression soon on it.Wondering if PC,360 can support too ?

Looking fwd for the review. Looks awesome. Congrats on the purchase.

Review

Give us green light so we could buy

Fixed

Alright guys, had a chance to take it for a spin yesterday night! Here's my inpression:

Games tested with: Deus Ex and COD Black Ops.

Comfort
The headset is comfortable! Besides the ear paddings, the top band of headset is also padded so it sits on your head nicely. I was playing for about 2 hours without any problems. The ear pads are big enough to cover your entire ear, so you might sweat a little, but it's no big deal. The headset weighs heavy enough to feel solid, but not too heavy to affect comfort.

Design
Very PS3. Like I mentioned before, the side panels are made of the same rough surfaced plastic like the casing of the PS3 slim, while the top band is shiny metallic. I have concerns that maybe the shiny part might scratch easily, but I think it would take alot to do so. But still, it looks good! The headset uses the same mini USB port for charging, similar to your controllers, so just plug in the charging cable to charge. The USB port is locate on the left together with the volume slider and virtual surround button. Despite this, the headset is well balanced, it is not heavier to one side, which is cool.

Functionality
Getting the headset to work is a breeze. No need to set up anything. Just plug and play! Of course you can adjust settings from your PS3 dashboard if you want. You can adjust it so that only mic audio is heard through the headset too. To turn on the headset, simply press in the left panel which acts like a big click switch and hold till the headset beeps. To turn off, press and hold again. Volume sliders are conveniently placed so that accessing it while in game is a breeze, an I must say this is a brilliant design choice. Cause nobody has time to press and hold buttons during gameplay right! Simply slide to your desired volume!

Sound quality
The important part. Cause no matter how nice the design, a poor sound quality will be a put off haha! But worry not, the headsets do not disappoint! First impression from the sound: the solid bass! I popped in COD:BO and wow, I could feel every tremor and bomb blast. However, mid range and high range sounds are a little lacking for me though, since I prefer a slightly more brighter sound. Funnily, turning on the virtual surround also seems to brighten the sound a little. Regarding the surround, everyone has to remember that this is virtual surround, not true surround. So while you still will get a pretty good idea of where the sound is coming from, it will not be as precise as a true 7.1 headset. Too bad the virtual surround only works on games, not movies. Hopefully Sony fixes this with a software patch in future firmware updates! Too bad I couldn't test the mic since I had nobody to talk to in game haha.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with the purchase. Good value for it's price, and unless you are a serious audiophile, this headset is good enough for anyone.

Added on September 13, 2011, 9:05 amOh, and I forgot to mention. This headset requires burning in! After about an hour or so, I suddenly noticed that the sound quality became noticeably better. So keep listening, these headsets get better!

awesome review man~ how much is the price again?

This post has been edited by s3n1sh1: Sep 13 2011, 09:36 AM

Got mine for SGD119. I work in Singapore.

good review, probably getting mine soon...

psn voice chat like shlt

thanks for the review...gonna make an order for this

what do u mean? is it the headset?

From what I heard COD BO not a good benchmark to test the sound. Anyhoo, still a good in-sight.

I am sticking to AX720 for now.

haiyo bro most of us know COD BO for PS3 sound already bad I use to play BO using my Tritton AX 720 also it totally bad ~.~ still remember I rather mute when play BO.

I looking forward to get this cool device coz:

1. is wireless and only use usb wooo !!!! not like my AX720 huhu
2. is 7.1 man and my AX720 just surround only la
3. and those thing for USD99.00 or RM300.00 if those ppl plan to get headset for PS3 got for this la.

and i still cant ignore AX720 coz it can use for PS3, XBOX & PC la that one of the good thing about AX720

haihh cant wait my order from PBB Seller huhuh

I was almost...almost that close to get this. Seriously? I thought of using this to trash talk with those ang moh

I didnt know CoDBO was a bad game choice to test the sound. Then what game should I use?

And I cannot comment on the mic, cause like I said, I didnt have anyone to chat with. Perhaps someone wanna try with me tonite?

so still no stock right? any idea when is the next batch coming?

the place i went to brought in lots of stock which arrived yesterday. but with the crazy demand here, not sure if any still available today!

but i do know most are restocking, either today or tomorrow.

bro jhcj, have you tested it with PC/laptop?

if it's working in PC..then it's really a good buy

I have not, but from what I've read in forums, the virtual surround does not work in PC/Xbox so you'll only get stereo.

I'll test it tonite and let you all know what I find.

yo bro... review of the unit that include for PC testing

You have MW2 ?

if yes then lets test the voice chat tonight

so the voice chat quality is kinda same with the bluetooth headset?

No more "HUBBY...TURN DOWN THE VOLUME NOW!!!..."

I already recieve my headset in good condition, really happy to have it.............But have not yet try up the performance, now is in charging status.
will test it tonight with Uncharted 2 and GT5. Will give some review of my own. So stay tune.

Now showing some photo that i taken after unboxing:



Item arrived safety to Kelantan from Johor Bharu, with a surprise gift of a Guitar Hero World Tour T-Shirt, maybe seller know i will celebrate my birthday tomorrow 14 Sept, haha




some detail write out at the back and side on the box



Inside the box

I'm still having probs/ques on this thing before buying it lolz

Ask away and maybe we can test it out for you lol

How long does it take to fully charge it ?

and how long the battery last ?

it take about 3 hours to fully charge with no battery charge left.

it can be use for about 7.5 hours from fully charge.

all this is from manual state.

and there is some specifications maybe can help up

Power Source DC 3.7V : Build-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery

Battery Capacity 570mAh

Operating environment temperature 5C-35C/ 41F-95F

Dimension (w/h/d) wireless stereo headset: Approx 186x197x95 mm
Wireless adaptor: Approx 17.4x7x64mm

Weight headset 275g
adaptor 7g

Communication system 2.4GHz RF

Maximum communication range Approx. 10 meter (33 feet)

I got 1 friend letting go an extra set of the headset for RM350.. If interested do contact me before it's gone..

I can confirm that it works on the PC. And it's plug and play. Windows automatically detects the drivers and installs it, then you can listen already. But again, no virtual surround on PC cause that requires the PS3 firmware.

hot item ya............making some pocket money ya

RM300 i take now

try out

5.1 virtual surround:
MGS4
Heavy Rain
Vanquish

7.1 virtual surround:
Uncharted 2
MAG
Split/Second

some of the games i know that have really good sound.

*test 5.1 and 7.1 to see if there's a difference or if it's a negligible one.
tempted to get one set, but still wondering if it's worth the price-considering it's pretty much as good as PS3 only. Maybe wait for enterprising hackers to get the virtual surround working on pc

i already bought a ps3 sound bar...... should i get this?

it's different thing bro

i always prefer a HP for my gaming since i can put the sound as high as i need w/out worrying to disturb ppl around

Added on September 13, 2011, 9:44 pmCan anyone tell me where to get it? I can't it in any Sony Center or Sony Style

This post has been edited by FullPanda: Sep 13 2011, 09:44 PM

Haha.. Yeah.. The extra set was pre-ordered and bought a while ago by my friend from Play-Asia with shipping about RM400+. He's selling it at a loss so if anybody is interested feel free to let me know.. I'll notify him if there's any buyers interested in it..

We are buying it at 265.

who's selling at RM265?

ya, PA is selling this headset at higher price than RRP USD99.99. pa is selling at USD119

My favourite LYN seller.

265 is cheap!

http://gear.ign.com/articles/119/1192669p1.html

Professional reviewer? haha...

Gonna get it without a doubt!

thanks for the info

No virtual surround on bluray disc movies as well, eventhough when u run it on ps3.

This post has been edited by Zeliard: Sep 13 2011, 11:50 PM

this is earlier mention by SCEA that virtual 7.1 is only applicable for PS3 game. But hopefully Sony will add in in future firmware update(hopefully lah).

With the whole purpose of the headset to produce a virtual surround effect, and the function is limited only to a PS3 unit while playing games, that makes it rather product specific for a rm265 price.

Bro I think you missed the point. This is a playstation peripheral, and it has been marketed as such from day 1. It's not just a mass market Sony peripheral, therefore I don't think anyone without a playstation will get it. If you're looking for something that goes with everything, then you might as well just settle for something else.

now you know why it's so (comparatively) cheap.

Sony's done nothing wrong here,since they've already mentioned in the past that the virtual surround is only applicable to games,and not movies.

agree with u,bro..announcement by Sony is very clear that the virtual surround is only applicable to games..for me, it will help me to play games at night with the headset except for Rock Band la, prefer to play without HS..

So if pair up with PC,you can hear everything (Music/Video) and chat (Skype) too i suppose ? Planning to shift with PC/PS3 from time to time haha.But some ppl here said the voice chat sucks in PS3 ? still need more clarification on that


Haiz....Steve from Playzone.He is selling at that price.

As per my previous posting, I've tested the voice chat yesterday, both in-game and also via the PS Chat.

Crystal clear.

haih PBB seller stock will arrive next week >< hope can get it this week T_T haih~~~

This post has been edited by winterfrog: Sep 14 2011, 10:54 AM

how much pbbseller selling it?

this is interesting.

Apart from insiders, I don't see it on anyone's e-store threads here in LYN.

that limited ar?

I must have missed that ,how about voice chat in Skype (PC) & Music/Vids (PC) ?

I've only tested listening to music on the PC. But I assume that if chatting on PS3 is clear, then theoretically it should be the same on PC no?

i not yet tested on skype bcoz im not using it. But in Music/Videos is good, althought it is only produce stereo in PC, but i can hear is in good quality produce, i tested with audio CD, 128kpbs MP3, Concert DVD, Youtube video all i feel is above par (maybe im not audiophile lah), my PC normal using cheaplak USB power speaker only, definately the headset is better than that. haha

If i'm not mistaken i read from somewhere that the voice chat doesn't work in PC (Skype) weird.But thanks now i know it works with music/vid on the pc too ! thanks for the reply much appreciate

Haha same lah in my case,just use 1 lousy headphone.But now can aim this thanks for the reply bro.

No1 knows if 360 compatible ?

360?? what the heck is that??

1 tahun mempunya ada 365 haris.

So overall the sound quality is good? I'm thinking of getting this or turtlebeach dpx21.

the sony headset cannot be compared to the turtle beach dpx21. it's like comparing honda and bmw.

sony headset:
cheap, decent quality, wireless

dpx21:
expensive, good quality, wired

Dpx21 got really good sound quality but twice the price of sony headset and messy wire. Astro a40 wireless got the best combination of wireless, best quality but freaking damn expensive rm1.2k. Can tell how the 7.1 virtual sounds like?

tak pelek pun kalau tak boleh...musuh ketat Soni tu

Brother, friendly remind, dont use BM at here, later ur ID kena "lockup" again..............haha

guys, i'm abit more relaxed about the bm rule, but please dont go offtopic.
7.1 means you can tell the sound comes from where. example a NPC is speaking to you from your rear left, so you will hear the sound coming from your speaker from the rear left.

if there is a rocket coming at you and you dodge to the right, you can hear the rocket swooshing past you on your left.

Added on September 14, 2011, 5:04 pmin short, positional audio la...just that 7.1 you can tell better compared to 5.1
