Morchee- thanks bro - that helps for DCUO but not for wwe 12. it gets annoying when the phones are off but i still hear their voices through my tv
Also makes teaming up hard when the other guys can hear the strategy

I hear you...but if the WWE has this feature, it must also have the options to mute and swith voice chat off, if it doesn't, it is poorly designed imo. Just check through all the options, I'm sure it must be there.

@ Supaphly - If you have some alternates please let me know - we always get request for cheaper options that have the same/ similar features. I have the Sony one and it rocks - just the price is steep for some guys - Please send me a PM and we will look at getting/listing some other options in for console gamers

I haven't heard anything better than these in quality for price point. These are easily the best headphones I have listened too that are under R1k.

And is SupaPhly says skullcandy headphones please ban him lol

@Supaphly: Yeah please share.
Yes there are better phones, and yes companies like Triton and Turtlebeach and Logitech (and a few others I can't recall the name now) also make multi-platform headsets of higher quality.
But they are also more expensive.

I've looked around as much as possible, and for the price point that the Sony set is going for, I've yet to find something that works on at least PS3/PC, that's also wireless, and has a retractable mic, and is full ear, and rechargeable, and doesn't need a bucket full of other peripherals to work from platform to platform, and has decent to above average sound quality.

i used the wireless phone on my laptop, mainly for skype and it workds pretty darn well. Just plug the doogle thingy in th elaptop and its fine.

the battery life is pretty good so i dont have an issue charging it every time i need to use

Sadly i do not own a pair of these so cant speak for quality but price point i would also be interested in seeing a Bluetooth, 7.1 virtual surround sound with a mic for that price or less lol.

.

How does that give us a better brand of headphone?

.

Do they work with ps3 though o.O?

.

With out a mic though sort of kills it's use as a gaming headset for ps3 though, even with an external connector it's not as neat as the ps3 one then.

Ill take your word on the sound quality though.

not bad looking at all

The original headset is super impressive. Depending on the price of these I'll definitely look to get an upgrade.

Where is the mic? Is that little protrusion at the bottom of the one ear piece? The mic on the old set always gets in the way - this would be a great improvement

damn these are nice

Just for those who have the new Pulse headset, it looks like there is an APP on the US store that allows you to change presets on the headset.

The APP is free but only available from the US store for now.

The headset already includes six different audio presets for listening to various types of content. The Pulse Elite Manager app will add five more to the list.

AAAAARGH. Need to buy a pair of these!! Love my old PS ones but these new headsets are getting such good reviews from customers, i just cant wait to get my hands on a pair!
