Turtle Beach PX22 Universal Amplified Gaming Headset - PS3 and Xbox 360

I had the gamecom 780 headset before this one, but since it was usb input headset (and I broke the headband when taking them out O.o), when I bought the PS4 I had to look for a headset with 3.5mm jack, so that I could easily connect them to the dualshock, so around 5 months I bought this headset(circa 45 or 50 Pounds)the main uses I give these are PC gaming( mostly CS:GO), PS4, and music listening (wether on PC, phone, or music player).now this next part might be confusing without you seeing the mini-amp (refered troughout as MA) so go here:http://www.turtlebeach.com/product-detail/ps3-headsets/ear-force-px22/344and click on how does it work under details so you can see a picture showing the different inputs/outputs the mini-amp has.just to make it clear, YOU DON'T NEED TO USE THE MA FOR THE HEADSET TO WORK, but you dont have any controller over volume or something else without it.This headset has the MA, wich is not more than a 'sound mixer', where you can control the high(trebles) frequencies, low(bass) frequencies, game and chat volumes.Let me give you an IMPORTANT HEADS UP: in order for this MA to actually work, you need to have it connect to some sort of energy-given component, like a PC or a portable battery used to charge your phone on the go, with an usb port since the MA needs to be powered in order to work, and if you have both MA usb and 3.5 mm jack connected to the same device, you wont be able to use the treble and bass wheels, wich is a shame. When listening to music and wanting to play with treble and bass, I have to plug the MA's usb to my portable battery, and the 3.5mm to where the music is being played (cellphone, mp3 player,PC,etc...)Given this, I use the mini-amp only when playing PC games just to adjust the volume of the game and my microphones volume, and I just connect the headset directly to my dualshock when playing on ps4, same goes for when I am listening to music in my phone.I would like to mention that with both treble and bass wheels you can get really awsome and dedicated frequencies, depending on what you want to listen to, this is specially awsome when listening to music (get them trebles to the max when listening to guitar solossss!!)overall, this headset's biggest strenght is that you can use it wether you play on pc, consoles, or just to listen to music on your music player and phones(oh! you can actually use the microphone when someone calls you on your phone, making this a great cellphone-hands-free device as well).some other relevant points are:*noise cancelling*comfortable,*good audio quality*headband (seems) very resistant*the mini-amp gives you some sound flexibilitythe not so good things:*the material for the cable doesn't seem the most resistant, so and the cable, especially near the 3.5mm, carefully*the MA is to much trouble to put to work when using the headset on the Playstation or music player.for the price I payed I'm a satisfied costumer, hence the 5 stars, though the MA is too much trouble too use most of the time it doesn't take quality off of the product since thi is a good quality headset, it just adds to it.I recommend them if your uses for this headset are listed above.IF YOU ARE BUYING A HEADSET JUST TO PLAY FPS GAMES ON PC, I dont recommend this headset, buy a 7.1 headset.

I own two of these headsets, I gave the first one to someone else after the the clip on the volume box broke, I needed to be able to clip it to my jeans to move around easily. The second pair (my current pair) like the first is a great headset, the audio quality is good for both input and output not amazing but quite good, to get better you'd have to pay much more.The clip has not broken on this one yet but both pieces of plastic above the ear pieces have began to crack and one has now almost completely broken. Because of the way the headset tries to stay tight on the head it it instead pushing the broken piece of plastic into my skull. My attempts to tape over the cracks have stopped it from completely braking apart but doesn't stop the headsets attempt to make in incision into my skull.This has forced me to purchase a third pair, I have considered other headsets but always end up wanting this one. So be aware if you have a large head, be weary that it is likely that this may happen to you. I previously gave this item four stars, it was a very good headset but could be a bit stronger, I am now certain it needs to be stronger for the headset isn't even six months old and broke on me.

I bought this headset to replace my PX21 which I've been using for a few years now with my PS3, laptop and TV. The PX22 also works with Vita and mobile devices, which is fine but not exactly practical. Regardless, it's always nice to have more options than fewer.My worry when buying the PX22 was that it was basically a PX21 repackaged. In all honesty, I can't detect any increase in audio quality but, in my opinion, the build is much improved. the headset is lighter, smaller, more comfortable and does a much better job of reducing the penetration of external noise. I also prefer the mic's design, though I haven't yet used it to sample quality. The ability to control the bass has been carried over from the PX21 and now there is also a dial to control the treble. The ability to adjust the volume of other players' mics independently of the game volume returns, along with a new dial to control your audio output volume. There are also more options for muting than simply on or off.My only point of reference for the PX22 is the PX21, a device I made great use of. The PX22 is as good or better in every way, as best I can tell. I would imagine there are better headsets available for people only interested in using them on one specific device (there certainly are much more expensive ones) but for anyone looking for a somewhat universal headset, I highly recommend the PX22.

First of, the PX22s have amazing audio quality. It works on everything - from MP3 players to consoles. The microphone is also very good, I recommend keeping it two to three finger spaces away from your mouth. You could probably use the microphone as something for recording YouTube videos, not just VOIP.One of the really cool things about this headset is you can plug an MP3 player into the amp and have the amp plugged into a console or computer. It'll let you listen to audio coming from the console and MP3 player, putting the sounds together.The amp lets have fun with your audio, it adjusts the base, treble, how loud you hear yourself, how loud you hear others and how loud the main audio is.The only downside to these headphones is the fact that they aren't amazingly confortable. If you have glasses, they can dig in, so you'll need a breather every now and then.Other than that, the PX22s are extremely good for gaming, or whatever you desire, as long as it's to do with audio!
