Do these give a competitive advantage for FPS on Xbox 1 if you plug them into the Xbox Stereo Adapter and controller or do you need a Mixamp?

I use these daily on my PS4 plugged straight into the controller along with a Zalman Mic. I do not use a mix amp though I know someone who uses these with a Astro Mix amp and they work beautifully. As far as sound, you can clearly hear foot steps and tell from which direction. These have a very neutral sound, not a lot of base but they are very clear and sharp. The only plus you gain with let's say an Astro Mix Amp would be you gain "Digital Surround" if that's your thing. Hope this helps.

No they do not. These are the PC version, if you look there are 2 , one for xbox and 1 for PC, Or you can just get a Sound and mic splitter cable/jack.

Yes. I am running mine on random play. Make sure you get the 4GB and one has FM radio, another does not. Also has equalizer.

Thanks Guys.. well that answers it. since I also have a 5.1 surround system for when the wife isn't home and I'm playing BF3, I just need to get a wired headset to continue to use, what I would believe to be, better audio processing on the standalone soundcard. But then I see items like the Razer Megaladon, which advertises 7.1, but it is USB connected... so again it would appear that device would only use the simulated surround inside the actual headset? as opposed to a minijack plugged into the soundcard, does it make a difference? or will all surround headsets do all processing in the headset and therefore doesn't matter in the least how it connects to the PC?

I tried them with my PC and I got them to work, but only in mono mode, not stereo. I dont know why. I only tried briefly because I wasnt planning on using them with my PC anyway...and I tried right after I got them and wasnt familiar with what I was doing. I havent had time to try them again.

I bought these as an all-purpose set of headphones, but I use them 80% for gaming and 20% for music/TV/etc. I mostly play multiplayer, also. In my opinion, they sound stunning in games. I can hear sounds in these that I can't with other headphones (mostly ones that cost less than $100).In AC4 multiplayer for example, there are sounds that give you indications about your pursuers and targets that are clearer with these than others.Surround would be nice but I'd have to pay a lot more to get it. As far as the mic goes, for $10 you can buy a cheap headphone/mic adapter and a mic to go with these (can also spend more on better quality ones, though). Anyway, hope this helps.

You would also need a Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/headsets/stereo-headset-adapter

I have the V-MODA M-80 and the BoomPro works great with the XB1 Stereo Adapter. I can hear my friends and they can hear me great too.So yes it's compatible with the xbox one headset adapter for both chat and game audio.

That is what I am using them for, because I cant blast in my apartment on the pair of M & K monitors through a Dynaco tube 70w amp, all rewired in Monster cable!The advantage of these cans is they go so low and flat, you know exactly how much low end you're printing, and same with the highs, without treble peak areas like any Sony or Sennheiser, you know just how bright you are printing. Yes in all fairness you can mix on them, have funBobby

You just need your normal surround amp no separate amp required p.s. they sound awesome

Some of these answers are not completely right. If you have a controller with a headphone jack, you do NOT need the headset adapter. You can simply use the splitter that comes with the headset.

So, I deleted my earlier post. Getting 2 audio sources to play simultaneously is actually pretty easy. The mixamp has a line in for spdif (optical) and your typical aux 3.5mm jack. I hooked my computer via spdif and my TV via aux. You'll get both AND be able to toggle the balance with the right earcup game/VoIP switch. (I initially thought it didn't work, as I was 100% to my computer source, hence my deleted answer. Don't make my mistake). I would recommend the spdif from your console and aux from your computer, you'll get better in game sound. The balance feature is really nice, and it is tailored to your exact needs.

Yes it comes with the mix amp It shouldn't have any problem connecting to ps3 or ps4 but I have no experience with that I have xb1 and xbox 360

YEP as long as your normal audio works This should work As always get the latest drivers for your audio card Check settings in game

You wasted money buying this sound card if your using an Astro mixamp.... all a mixamp is, is a soundcard in a little box. Should just hook up a nice pair of headphones and a mic directly to the card and actually use the card... your not even using the card if u use optical.

I use it on PS4 with astro mixamp and Y connector to fully utilize the power of this headset.
