I read it should work on PC too which is great. Anyone has similiar and think it worths buying?

I'm not a hardcore gamer just interrsted to obtain a good universal headset, this one looks cool and i liked the colour

You can save 60$ if you buy the Sony Wireless Gold headset. It works perfectly fine and 50 times better than this headset lol.

Sounds like a set of rebranded hardware, from what I know limited knowledge some better headsets around.
Some people find headphones are better with a mic added on top over a headset.

Most serious hardcore audiophiles don't even talk about this headset.
Does it have to be wireless?
TB headsets are good but built quality issues and not the best.

Do yourself a favour and buy Tritton 7.1 720+. This is honestly the most consistent, best headset I've used in a long time. Well worth the 90 pounds I paid.

audio technica and sennheiser dominate the PC "gaming headset" market in the high end high quality area and steel series has good stuff also but if you truly care you use a set of headphones and just use a desktop mic

Thanks for good advices!

Yeah i dont think this has awesome sound although its popular in gaming only.
Steelseries, Astro and Sannheiser are best i know of.
Well that Phantom one has the same hardware as the TB PX5 and XP510.
I never had a wireless before but if they are working good should be much more convinient then tons of cables in front of the tv, especially with kids around the house.

Wifi interference can be possible with wireless headsets.
Platforms you're going to be using with it?

Mainly with my gaming consoles for now, which is PS3 and Xbox 360 and later the newer ones like PS4.
The compability isnt listed on PC although you can probably get it work. Thats what i read from their tb site.

Get Astro A40's or A50's MLG players use them! They are amazing headsets! A50's are a little expensive I like the A40'S better anyway. You must login or register to view this content.
