Is it still worth getting a PX21?

[Kaan]

I need headphones with a mic to use for PS3, PC and TV when everyone is sleeping.


I can get it for $71 off eBay and wait a few weeks because its from UK or get it from Harvey Norman tomorrow for $87.


But the main question is, is it still good these days or is it outdated and there are better headphones for that price?

We do have a whole thread on Gaming Headsets. From cheapest to expensive.

The PX21's will do you fine, they are a top class headset for the price.

If it's not a desperate thing to get, then get the cheaper one.

Would you happen to know if the PX21 can be powered up by the Wiselink USB Port on my Samsung TV?

I doubt it, 99% of these forms of headsets are battery/power plug operated.

If you can afford it get the DPX21.

Basically a set of PX21's but with a Dolby 7.1 decoder.

My TB PX31 are usb powered.

But if it works on PS3 USB Port why wouldn't it work on TV one?

The USB is to connect up for Voice Chat, I believe, not power supply.

Incorrect. The PX21's have no batteries or power plug

Never had a problem with mine

As above, it is power supply and is also needed for the chat

Good then.

From what I understand I can plug the USB into the TV USB Port for power, but I wont be able to use it for voice chat until I plug it into the PS3 USB Port.

Correct?

Yeah

But if you need them for chat on PS3, you may as well just plug em into the PS3

Never EVER buy from Harvey Norman

Why?

HN didn't have stock so JB price matched it and I got it for $87.

Very happy with these headsets, bass on max is awesome.
