Instead of constantly revising my review I will post updates here in the comments section. Two more cons: No remote for certain functions and there is no English manual though Curiousgeorgieo has done an excellent job at translating some stuff in his review. As far as I can tell, it helps to turn on the tv, then the base unit, then your source (ie, Blu Ray) in that order. That seems to help with the dropouts. That may indicate it is an HDMI issue not an issue with the headphones... although I get occasional dropouts even with other sources such as my record player.

Hello. I just wonder if you can use these headphones with a computer? If the graphics card has an HDMI output, there shouldn't be any problems?
If I connect a HDMI cable from my graphics card to one of the input HDMI on the passthrough, and then a cable from the HDMI output on the passthrough to my monitor which has an HDMI input, will that work?
Thanks, ProShifu

You will need to go inside your computer and connect a cable from the soundcard to the videocard or else you won't have any sound.

But the graphics card supports 7.1 high defenition surround and my monitor have speakers buildt in. I get sound when I use my speakers in my monitor. I mean, since HDMI supports both video and sound, wouldn't that give sound?

You have to have that cable to get sound. If you are already getting sound over HDMI then you probably have the cable already. What kind of computer do you have?

I have buildt my own computer, but my specs are: GTX 570 Graphics card, AMD Athlon X4 3.00 GHz, 12 GB RAM, 6TB harddrive space, a Benq 24 LED HD Monitor and a ASUS M4A88TDV-EVO motherboard. Right now I'm using a pair of Logitech's G35 headphones, but I really want a pair of these since I love to watch Blu-ray movies with TrueHD or DTS-HD Ma sound on my computer.

If your monitor has HDMI and speakers, go ahead and try hooking up the HDMI from your computer to the monitor. If you get sound as well as picture, then it should work with the headphones, too. If no sound comes out, I think you need to add that cable.

I do get sound, so thank you for the help!
