Those RS 180's look great. Just working out my budget.</p> <p>Am I right in thinking that any of these wireless headsets that runs from a transmitter unit should work fine across all devices? I've only ever used dedicated sets so I'm not 100% sure on this. </p> <p>Thanks again man :) </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8680&page=2#post-44673 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 06:57:40 +0000 polygem 44673@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>And...sorry; i forgot; all those headsets don't come close to High end headphones.people might disagree but seriously if you compare directly you realise. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8680&page=2#post-44657 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 21:26:52 +0000 polygem 44657@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Digital B. and Deacon:<br /> I had the playstation branded 7.1 headset and also some sony wireless phones (MDR-DS6500 )...they both lacked punch and bass imho and i am not one of those "MORE BASS!" kinda guys. i just want a balanced sound with a good punch.<br /> the 7.1 and the DS6500 aren´t bad headsets/phones but if you compare them directly to others you realise that they do not sound that great.<br /> the mdr has awesome battery power (last forever!) a lot of input options and decent build quality, but after trying other phones and headsets the rs 180 really is the best option for me. i am 100% happy with that thing. they are also among the most comfortable phones i ever had. it´s not a headset though. it also lacks many input options (no optical!). that´s no problem for me because i have it connected to a receiver anyway. all my consoles are connected to that receiver. there is no difference in sound between analog and digital anyway, even if some people say so, i never realised any differences and i really think it´s nothing a human ear could hear. there is another wireless sennheiser line especially made for home entertainment with surround sound and bassboost: the rs 170, but i really think the 180 is the better option for games, movies and music. they really sound all around great. the bass is just right too. totally recommend those to anyone looking for wireless headphones. the kleer tech is awesome. chrystalclear, no hiss. battery last very long too. never had a problem, even after ultralong playing sessions, never run dry. the rs 220 is the top end line in the sennheiser wireless department atm but they do not use kleer but another tech which is supposed to be even better but with the price of battery life. the sound differences aren´t really big though many reviewers say. battery life for wireless phones is important for gamers so i would really rule those out.<br /> i do not chat much anymore these days so i have given up on dedicated headsets. hate all the cables too. if i want to chat i just use a throat mic/headset which i use under my phones...works good. i wouldn´t buy into headsets now with the next gen just around the corner. they might change the set up. i had the tritton ax pro´s, some turtle beach (cannot recall which ones), and the astro a30´s, also checked out the a 40´s...the astros combined with the mixamp are miles ahead. best sound, best build quality. seriously, i don´t think there is a better option on the market for multiplat headsets atm. the trittons sounded ok (not as good as the astros though) but felt cheap and were uncomfortable. the turtle beach were ok for the price, but not great if good sound is important.</p> <p><a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/sennheiser-rs-180/4505-7877_7-33976711.html" rel="nofollow">http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/sennheiser-rs-180/4505-7877_7-33976711.html</a></p> <p>they are much cheaper now though! </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8680&page=2#post-44611 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 12:44:14 +0000 Deacon 44611@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Oh yeah and thanks Poly and anyone else who commented RE the headset! :) </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8680&page=2#post-44588 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 10:26:06 +0000 CyberMarco 44588@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Deacon</p> <p>I see, I'll try to get Enslaved if no one bids for it.

Tritton. Astro. Turtle beach. You name it. The Astros a30 or a40 are pricey but hands down the best in build quality AND sound. I gave up on headsets though.

I am not in the market before June and don't buy second hand stuff, so sorry I cant take part.<br /> Hopefully you can sell everything fast.<br /> Maybe you can try the Astro A-series (a30,40,50). I heard good things about them, but I cant give a hands on review on one since I am more a earbud guy. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8680#post-44404 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 14:06:55 +0000 Deacon 44404@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>The headset's been snapped up for £65 all-in.

I dont like owning stuff i do not use anymore. If i really crave playing a certain game again i can always buy again used. Never been a collector. If sony can deliver a solid subscription/digital only/rental/buy Modell fairly priced -for ps4- that really could be perfect for me. With PS + being a great deal already- i can really see this happening. </p>
