Things are going pretty good with the Delta so far but I was under the impression it was chargeable. Was surprised it came with batteries, and thought it could be charged by USB.

I just got a set of deltas sound is good but all of a sudden the sound cuts in and out badly. Mine came with batteries, the USB is to have your computer change eqs.

Ya, mine work great also. I really like these and have moved to these exclusively. I also have the 5.8 mixamp with tb hpx, a-40's and senn pc360's. Having no wires is a huge plus for me. The sound is comparable also.

For those that care. Only 100 bucks, but the lack of Dolby probably makes them a non-starter for most on this board.

This week at CES, Turtle Beach will introduce its lineup of gaming headsets for 2012, including four new console and PC products, as well as three new mobile-focused solutions.



For the Xbox 360, the company has announced the X42 and X32 wireless gaming headsets. The X42 is Dolby Surround Sound-enabled, while the X32 is stereo. Both utilized 2.4Ghz and 5GHz dual-band wireless connectivity which actively searches for the clearest audio channel. Both sport 50mm drivers for improved low-end response and tonal balance. The X32 will retail for $99.95, while the X42 will cost $159.95.

Next, there's the Ear Force DSS 2 Surround Sound Process, which is a standalone surround sound audio processor that will retail for $79.95. For PC users, there's the Ear Force Z11 Wired Stereo PC Gaming Headset, which offers basic stereo audio for $39.95.



Finally, the company introduced a suite of audio solutions for mobile gaming, including the Ear Force M5 and M3 Gaming Headset and M1 Mobile Gaming Earbuds. All sport integrated microphones for hands-free voice calling when used with smartphones.

What about the wireless 360 mic? Is that small enough to wear and then put a headset over it??

I know the easiest thing would be to just buy a pair of turtle beach headphones, but $100 is kinda steep

I am using my Senneheiser wireless headphones, they sound great.

I want to add a mic and voice chat channel to the headphones.

I am think about purchasing this:

Then I would plan to use my iPhone headset as my mic/chat speaker:

I would put one earbud on and then put the Senneheisers over them.....

I would use this cable to plug into the 360 adaptor:

OR!!!!


Do I just get this and circumvent all that above:

do you get any noise/interference from wireless stuff in your house, the bass heavy ax720 might have to go back to the store but I don't want to deal with wireless interference

also is the sound from the headphones kept in the headphones or does the sound bleed out a bit in the room, my wife wants as little sound to bleed out as possible

I have giftcards/rewards credit I'm using so this is only purchased at Best Buy

I got a set when they went on sale a couple weeks ago at amazon. At least the set I have, the surround sucks. There is no surround sound at all. No matter the source or material, it is only a barely enhanced stereo sound.

Previously I was using the wired astro mixamp and pc350's or hd 555's. The mixamp (my third) started having issues yet again (noted a few pages ago) and I wanted to give the delta's a try. The total wireless aspect was a draw for sure.

Well, as stated, they do not provide any surround at all. Connected to the ps3 with the sound settings as optical only and dolby the only option checked (tried all however) with the transmitter showing dolby output (not PLIIx) there is only an enhanced stereo image coming out. This is the case for games as well as bd movies.
For anyone who has seen it, a great test is the beginning of transformers dark of the moon. At the very beginning of the movie (start of chapter one), when the paramount logo is shown the audio does a sweep around the horn hitting each channel one at a time. It sounds great through speakers. Through the delta's, just stereo.

So does anyone else have these and had this issue?

I have the turtle beach DX11s and from what I can tell (and comparing them to my old X41s) the Dolby processing is identical across models. When I hooked up my ear force DSS to my bluray player I was expecting it WOULD NOT work for DTS playback as the DSS is Dolby-- to my surprise the unit worked but, yes, the new output lacked the positioning that the Dolby 5.1 provided.
