I plan on using this for PS4, XBONE, and PC. Can I leave the USB for the headphones plugged into my PC and have it still work with the consoles?

No, they have to be plugged into the device you are using. You can use them for the three but they must be plugged into the one you are using them for!

No. The usb not only powers the transmitter but it also transmits your voice through the mic. For people to hear you on ps4 and pc it will need to be hooked up to the one you're using. I'm not sure if it will matter on xbox since it comes with the chat cable that other xbox headsets use, I don't have an xbox to test it.

Yes the usb is just the power,but your just have to switch the optical cable to the system your going to use.

I could not make it work with PS3. I googled it and others also can not. I think PS3 is not campatible with any USB headset. The PS3 recognizes the Arenas, as they are listed under devices, but you can not hear any sound. To the person who said it works: Have you actually done it with straight USB?

The mic input works on my PS3, plugged in headphones too, and i could hear audio playback from my mic through my headphones. Unfortunately, you cant get game audio through the PS3 USB so this wouldn't work for something like that.

This headset was designed strictly for Mac or PC and will not work on PS3 or other gaming consoles. When hooked up to PS3, the headset will only transmit voice but it will not be fully functional as the routing for audio in PS3 is entirely different from the way audio is routed for computers.

Yes, I have a aux port on my tv and so does the system. So it just plugs into my tv. Sound systems like this are usually used for computers and pcs I never used it for my Xbox just my tv hope this answered you're question. If not go ahead and ask again.

You have it backwards. It is intended for use with a computer. If the jack on the xbox1 is 2.5mm it wont work for sure

if any USB headset works in a PS3 would it stand to reason that any PS3 USB headset work in a PC? If so, how do you troubleshoot if the sound comes out distorted?

If the PS3 has a standard audio output for headphone, otherwise it might require a different configuration through USB connection then into the PS3 controller, if you connect your PS3 through a home theater receiver then the audio will pass through. Still these are NOT worth your money, they sound horrid. No Bass, and they will not stay on your head.

From everything I have been reading on GTP, this won't work on the PS4 unless Sony updates it so it can be used. If you are buying this for the PS4, expect it to not work. Yes it is USB and Plug and [lay and all that stuff. But If Sony has it blocked out, It will never work.

It works on PC, but I am not sure about PS4. If the PS4 supports optical cables, which I think it does, then the headset will work. But in order to play on a console you need to have the MixAmp, which is included in this audio system so don't worry about that. You also need to have your PS4 updated with the latest firmware. Setting it up for the console can be a little tricky, but it should include a helpful instruction manual.

The Razer Kraken works and this one should soon with a patch. It currently does not export sound to the headset but the mic works fine. It works awesome with a PC tho and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality headset. Caution it is wired and a bit short for my TV -> couch. The module is also 1/2 down the cord and pulls it down.Overall a great head set and no problems after 2 years.Reference: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Peripherals-Support/7-1-Razer-Megalodon-headset-anyone-gotten-anything-but-the-mic/td-p/42581223 The Razer Kraken works and this one should soon with a patch.

They will fit in the USB slot of a PS4, however the audio may not be compatible with the console.

It uses USB, with C-Media soundcard. To be honest, the Vengeance headset (and anything using C-Media embedded) is problematic. Search their forums and you'll find numerous threads about the sound channels reversing, randomly, during gameplay sessions. I have a RealTek Azailia audio chipset and I had to give up on these headphones.You're better off getting a regular stereo headset that plugs into your soundcard, and invest in the soundcard. Otherwise, these may work fine for you but be prepared for shoulder shrugs if you deal with Corsair.

Yes it will. I use it with mine and can 100% confirm that it gets both game sound and voice. The only downside I have found is that if you shift the wire around to much you sometimes get a very brief static sound. Other than that works great with the adaptor for the xbone.

Yes, if you have a converter. It would be a 3.5 jack to USB. I used it an on PS3 like that. It actually was a mic, with the way I had it hooked up. They may actually now have a 3.5 jack on the Xbox or PS4, I do not own one though.

I don't know They hook up to the usb but the xbox may not use the usb the same as a pc.
