Currently im searching for a headphone that supports surround sound for the PS3..
I already ask around for which headphone that capable with PS3 and no one knows/never try them..
Then.. i'm just gonna try and buy the A4 Tech HD-800 that connects through the USB..
But then i can only use the mic and it can't produce any sound except for the mic..
So if anyone succeed on using a superb USB surround sound headphone for your PS3 .. Kindly post here.. Don't forget the headset must have a microphone..
Thanks..

This is the headphone Click Here

So mmg headset ni tak boleh gune la for PS3 except die nyer mic ?

To be honest I don't trust A4tech for high end equipment like the ps3. Aaaanyways, I should let you know here that the PS3 only outputs a maximum of 7.1 surround via the HDMI port, 5.1 Surround via the optical cable, 2.1 via the AV multicable. Don't even try using USB anything for the sound. Oh and always always do research before you commit to a purchase. Jimat duit beb.

Sakit hati sial... Ni yang kene jual nih..
Anyone wanna buy my A4Tech HD-800 headphones ??

Im using Pioneer SE-DIR800IIc for DvD movie, PS3 & Xbox360 games.
It is a 5.1 channel Dolby certified Cordless Headset come with DD, DTS & Dolby Pro-Logic2 decoder. I purposely get this product for late night use without disturbing others but can still enjoy the lossless sound effect at the same time.

check it out http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/pioneer...?tag=prod.txt.1

WTF... almost 1k..
Anyone else ?

buy la those logitech or altec lansing headset

There is the AX360. You can read about it:

http://geekingitout.blogspot.com/2008/01/e...let-bleeds.html

But err for the mic to work, u need to invest in another USB soundcard.

This one cannot get it locally... Have to buy online..

True, but then again, alot of good headphones cant get locally.

You might want to try the Siberia headsets from www.aerowave.com.my

But better check if their surround sound works with the PS3 as it requires update of drivers.

All of them is not surround sound.. And didn't use the optical cable.. Right ?

Added on February 11, 2008, 3:51 pmBTW zio, are you using a headphone ? Which one ?

This post has been edited by Raiko: Feb 11 2008, 04:04 PM

Ahh all is using USB soundcard to generate the surround sound. Virtual 7.1

I am using the Tritton AX360 lor. That was my blog I linked to

Haih.. mahal gile la..

Yes, quite the mahal. But good surround sound headsets is usually mahal. Just like a good entertainment system.

What's the total price eh ?

Including the stepdown, the optical cable (bundled cable sucked) - I think it was close to RM600.

*Instantly died infront of the pc after i wrote this*

lol its seriously not that bad. People have spent more on headphones.

i want to borrow la zio to experience myself...

lol andy ada.. boleh ask him to pinjam

wow u guys syock gila playing ps3 haaha

yeah when i play COD4 i heard many sounds where ppl is talking
a normal logitech headphone cant help?

Lol can. The headphones wouldnt isolate the voices. If I wear the headphones, the voices still come out on the headphones.

Just that I dont need to on the TV volume loud late at night.

i dint know Tritton AX360 masuk kotaku....... but as wat zio mentioned...the quality is quite good actually...........

Hmmm.. have to start collecting from now.. Currently have 100 only..

haha better buy rockband lah...wwoowweeeee

Rockband sucks for 800 man, seriously

dont worry...can save slowly....headphones is not gonna run away...who knows...maybe few months later prices drop...

how about this one

creative fatality gaming headset

for a premium gaming console, I guess you have to expect to pay for premium headphones as well eh. I havent heard of a cheap optical headphone (cheap being around the RM 200 price range)

What if i buy a headset like the Fatal1ty ? Cucuk through 3.5mm plug.. Can i use the mic and also hear the sound ?
Of course not right ?

Added on February 12, 2008, 5:30 amThe reviewers at Amazon.com said that the Tritton doesn't produce a good bass ?
There are more reviewers that hate it then the one that loves it..

This post has been edited by Raiko: Feb 12 2008, 05:30 AM

Amazon reviews are sometimes weird. You have people criticising a partiuclar HD-DVD or Blu-ray movie because it cannot play on their standard DVD player.

But I've read all the reviews, the comments and I still decided to go ahead with it. And so far, I have not regretted my decision. PS3 got 3.5mm plug?

Zzzzzzzz gune converter la....

Added on February 14, 2008, 9:37 pmGuys which website can i get Tritton that has a international shipping ?
Thanks in advance.. or maybe any other way to get it ?

This post has been edited by Raiko: Feb 14 2008, 09:37 PM

Bro,

I just ordered a pair of AX360 and m wondering where u got your stepdown. How much did it cost ya. Thanks. I just want to buy it before my headset arrives. Hehe..cant wait to test it mar. Cheers mate.

Where did you ordered it ? Tell me.

I ordered it off ebay. I think the seller still has a couple of units left. The headphones cost USD101.99 but the shipping cost is on the pricey side. Cost something like USD49 (USPS express shipping with insurance) anyway as of last nite my headphones are on the way. Cant wait for it to arrive. Think it would be awesome for late nite gaming.

Cheers mate.

http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/AP-EN/pag...ucttab=Overview

this is one killer headphone...

RM90 from DIY store in One Utama. Near Speedy

wow! i wonder how much would it be

Thanks bro. I went to Jalan Pasar in the afternoon and was quoted bout RM20 for a stepdown that has a 70w max rating. What is the adapters power rating ar? Just want to know.

Thank you.

I got myself a Creative HQ3200D to get surround sound for my ps3, it uses optical n costs RM200, bought it from this forum too coz its already discontinued by Creative

If the OP still looking out for this thread, I can vouch for the Pioneer SE-DIR800IIC by stanleyeow. It connects via optical/toslink or coaxial, which means a direct connection to your PS3. The surround configuration is Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS, as well as Dolby Pro Logic II mixing.These surround effects are pretty believable from the numerous drivers inside the headphone cups. The headphone connects wirelessly to its base unit via IR, so you need direct line of sight, and usage away from bright sunlight, as it will degrade the audio transport to your heaphones. The headphones uses rechargable battery, which is included with the package. The rechargable battery charges via the base unit, so it is very convinient. Once you finished using, you can put the batteries into the charging compartment and have it fully charged for the next session.

There is also another surround headphones I'm currently eyeing on, Sony's MDR-DS7000. As the numbers on the model number implies, this one gives you up to 7.1 discrete surround sound. I'm looking into auditioning it while I'm in Osaka tomorrow.

Google up the prices of these two models if you need to. Good stuff dont come cheap.

I've been trying to get the MDR DS7000 for a while now, its too expensive in Yesasia.com, the price at Bluetin.com is a bit better but its still more expensive than in amazon japan, shipping and tax will cost a bomb too. I've been trying to get a friend of mine who works with Sony and who frequently go to Japan to get it for me but he has been too busy to go around to look for it. The thing is that these headphones are actually manufactured in Penang, and even a Sony employee cant get it here, unless i guess someone from the factory itself could bring it out, so anyone knows someone who works at the Sony factory in Penang? hehe.

bro that pioneer is it Pioneer SE-DIR800C or SE-DIR800IIC... do they sale it here in kl?

Wah Ia lso cant remember. I sold it off. Haha but it was one huge black thing.

U mean u sold the stepdown or the headset all together??

This one. Sorry for the model confusion. Got it at the same place that link is located, Park Row , Lower Manhattan. Not at the listed price though, it was on sale during the President's Day week, the price dropped down to USD299.

The said model is not available anywhere in KL.

If you want, and should i be able to get myself the sony MDR-DS7000,.......sell it to you?

edit: nvm already got it. fortunately it comes with an optical cable.. but the manual is all Japanese

change from the initial plan, got myself the Pioneer SE-DRS3000C instead. Impressions and thoughts at that link.

Just recieved my AX360 yesterday and has been testing it. Initial impression was great. Cant comment much as i have no experience in 5.1 surroubd sound as i have always been gaming on TV speakers or 2.1 pc speakers. Feels kinda weird at 1st cos u experience 3d sound. I guess u need a little getting use to. Played Gears Of War, Call Of Duty 4 and BF : BC. Whole new experience which i have never experienced before and m liking it. The rumbling feature is kinda cool but feels really weird feeling vibrations on you head so i set the vibration feature to a minimum due to discomfort.

I must say that the built quality is impressive but as Zio said in his review the cables supplied are a bit cheap. There some intermittent crackling sound when its idling so i dont know if its the connecting cables or something else. Might buy a slightly better quality optical cable and see if theres difference.

The decoder that comes with the headset has multiple output choice so for ppl with a Xbox360 who wants 5.1 surround sound can use the decoder to connect to thier PC speakers which has G9 input instead of limited to optical input.

Now for some late night gaming with volume on full throttle. Hehe...

Is it a good buy? I would definately say

Over and out.

Razer Baracuda tu xguna punya HS ker? any comment?

Razer barracuda i bought but returned after found out cannot connect to xb360. D vendor claims can connect direct to xb360 but later oni he found out kenot. So he gave me a refund. I did test it a little on my laptop playing some music and movies. I find the sound quality is so so. The AX360 sounds much better than the barracuda in my opinion. Built wise the ax360 feels sturdier compared to barracuda's plastic feel. Well maybe a barracuda user can comment. i only had it for a few hours so not a fair comparison.

do the headphones mentioned have microphone also?

can anybody suggest me a good surround sound (5.1 at least) headphone that also has a mike and if it can also be used to a computer also good!

thanks

refer to the first post of this page. I have put the link to a killer headphone with mic.

Yes it does have mic but can only connect to XB360 if want to connect to PS3 nees adapter.

itl ooks expensive !!

anybody else have a suggestion?

thanks

any1 can comment on Razor Barracuda??

Freedom comes with a hefty price tag. LOL

ok if I want a normal stereo headset that uses 3.5mm connection with a microphone can I use it with the ps3?

Any of you guys bought a new headphones ? Share something here peeps ! Im still looking for one. Just cant afford Sony.

you need somekinda digital decoder box..

anyone ? care to share your experience ?

Audio-Technica will solve ur problem

The closest solution i found so far for headphones + mic for PS3 is Ear Force P21 . But it only come with stereo sound and will only shipping to USA only.

tritton already bring out a new line of product. check them out ! really really tempting.

Click here.

dah beli ke belum chappu?

kalau ade jualkat malaysia. dah lame bli.

I just buy the sony mdr ds7000 from amazon jp. Now try to find the dc adapter. The japan adapter rating 9v 600mA. Here i just can get either 9v 500mA or 9v 900mA. So if i use the bigger amp, it will burn the headphone or not ar?

Bigger isn't a problem, you can use the 900mA one

I personally find Philips Hi-Fi series not bad... in terms of price & quality.

I've got 1 - SHP805, been using it since 2006!

Got it, Thanks!

audio technica a900 is teh sheet yo! but no mics...

Sony headphones are not comfortable

if you want, buy Philips is better

Hmm so far tritton is the best but can't find new models on ebay

1)to get clearer voice like environment of monster hunter,dialogs......im using edifier speakers but voices too loud might interrupt housemates
2)enjoy dmc whn playing it at midnight XD

from forumers's info i think sennheiser is better but the prices seems out of my budjet,so need ur help guys~~~

hey guys. looking for a headphone for ps3 but dun know squat about headphones. budget around RM200? any idea? hopefully a headphone with leader ear pads.

Ps2 no feel leh...i use small tv oso can hear clearly haha

Need to know from u guys



Specifications for SteelSeries 5H v2:

- Frequency response: 16 - 28.000 Hz
- Impedance: 40 Ohm
- SPL@ 1kHz, 1 Vrms: 110 dB

can it connect to PS3, it got a USB dongle..

anything Sennheiser, AKG or Audio-Technica

Here is another option which i am using, great surround but no mic:

- Victor-JVC SU-DH1 surround adapter from Bluetin
- Sennheiser HD448 (well any quality headphones will work)

Pro's:
- Superb surround
- Great quality audio depending on headphone
- Works with any headphone
- Supports Dolby Headphone & DTS

Con's:
- Volume is great but not super loud (won't recommend going too loud anyway)
- Don't get subwoofer powered killer explosions
- No mic, so hard for multiplayer gaming
- Wired

Overall the set-up cost about RM800.

The other awesome alternative but hard to get is the Turtle Beach X41.
