So you're running the optical and USB to the PS4 from the Tx, the headphone/mic cable from the headphones to the Rx and nothing between the controller and the Rx?

Yes sir, the original Astro USB cable. PC360 headphones and a silly two into one from the headphones to the Rx.
 
I could use a tad more volume so considering an amp.
 
The rechargeable battery was the greatest add-on ever, THANKS to MLE for telling us to get that!
 
For my XbOne I have to use a cable to the controller, and I hate that wire dangling :)

I may have to track down one of those USB cables if my friend's Mixamp doesn't come with one. I like that idea more than running a cable from the controller to the Rx.

Hurry up, 11:30PM! Sheeeeeeeeeesh...

My alcantara pads came in today, just before I left for work no less. So I want to get home and try them out. If they can improve the comfort as much as you say then I'll be keeping them.


Is that 11:30PM ET?

Yup, I'm still in the midwest... for now.


Sweeeeeet! We can play a couple games, tonight. Can't stay up too late, though, since it is a school night for me :p

Which reminds me...

You fukers are going to be so ahead of me by the first weekend of Destiny, since I won't be able to play much during the week. I have to make sure I do some extra school assignments ahead of time, so I'll at least have that weekend completely free to play catch up... :D

Just a thought. If the Astro USB cable allows for voice chat by plugging to 3.5mm input on the Tx, couldn't it be substituted for a cheap soundcard + 3.5mm cables + splitter?

Not on a console.

Seems as if the X2 was available on amazon.uk but is now out of stock...

I had that setup on my PS3 back when I was using first gen mixamp that didn't have USB chat option and it worked flawlessly, so it should work

What cheap soundcards work on a PS3?  You mean like a cheap USB Xonar thing?

Do elaborate, please. I have a cheap TurtleBeach soundcard laying around. If it's possible to use it in place of the Astro USB cable I'm going to make the jump soon.
