I like to use Skype on my computer while using a headset to hear the TV if I am gaming on a console. Is there a way to hear both anyone is aware of?

So, I deleted my earlier post. Getting 2 audio sources to play simultaneously is actually pretty easy. The mixamp has a line in for spdif (optical) and your typical aux 3.5mm jack. I hooked my computer via spdif and my TV via aux. You'll get both AND be able to toggle the balance with the right earcup game/VoIP switch. (I initially thought it didn't work, as I was 100% to my computer source, hence my deleted answer. Don't make my mistake). I would recommend the spdif from your console and aux from your computer, you'll get better in game sound. The balance feature is really nice, and it is tailored to your exact needs.

Cant speak from experience but I believe all chat is through bluetooth. So I believe you could link that to the computer while the game audio is from the console. Not 100% though

Yes. Everything you do on your xbox can be heard through the headphones. Just remember to turn the volume down on your TV.

Yeah. That is perfectly possible, but you can do exactly the same thing with any microphone. You just need to plug this microphone to the PC. Connect your TV and PC with an HDMI cable, and then set the PC's audio settings (if needed) so that all the output sound goes to the TV's speakers.

Yes. Your PC probably uses a 3.5mm audio connection to it's speakers (which this device has an input for). You will need to plug the PC into this device as well as from the game system. Just press the corresponding button on the device to choose which component you wish to listen to, when you are using each one. I'm not sure but you may be able to utilize both at the same time. Hope this helps.

They work fine with the PS4, but there's no mic. I attached a ModMic and used an adapter to make it a fully functional gaming type headset. I've never used it with Skype, but the same comments about the mic apply (although you wouldn't need an adapter if you're skyping on a computer). You can get a cheap adapter on Amazon, but the ModMic isn't available on Amazon yet. There are also cheaper mic solutions on Amazon.

Not about Skype, but you can connect a webcam and connect to a computer at the very worst. http://www.ehow.com/how_8247722_connect-cam-tv.html

Two headsets can receive the same signal from one transmitter when switched to the same channel. I have 3 headset at home and switch any pair to the tv I'm watching.

I don't think so. I've looked at the specs and there is nothing about connecting the headset to a microphone. Simple to connect to most players for listening, but it sounds like you need a different kind of equipment. A quick search of Amazon brings up several specific sets for XBOX and Play Station. Try searching for "stereo headset with microphone" or "gaming headset" -- that should net surefire results.

If you do't wan't the microphone yes you can simply not have it hooked up. However the microphone is really only working in tandem with your headset mic or desktop mic to cancel out background noise. Hope that helps

Only with serious noise on the line, at least in our setup. Didn't matter what we plugged into on either end, we ended up with a lot of hiss when audio was not active. So if there was a pause between words on a Skype call, there was hiss in that pause.

Wireless hardware connections using Bluetooth can be fussy at times, having to constantly pair devices re-establishing the drivers. The Xbox One headsets are probably the best, running Skype and actually switching between running programs better than anything else on the market.

Yes you can. Go onto amazon and look up VGA to HDMI. It's about eight bucks and works perfectly.You can use either microphones or an Xbox headset to listen to the sound.

I use the heahphone mic for Teamspeak. Ive asked, and my friends notice the difference between my desk mic... But they say I'm still audible in game.

I use it with the dragon dictation program. I listen to an audio recording through the headset and speak simultaneously. I believe that is similar to what you do with Rosetta Stone.

Hell yes it's like simulated surround so you can hear which direction the sounds comeing from. Also there's game chat and if you've used te Microsoft chat controls you can adjust how much game chat and how much game sound you want to hear and can adjust to only game or only voice chat or a mix of both. Head set is beast. And to other guys question about sound on the tv just turn it down to zero works perfect for example girlfriends trying to sleep dosent want to hear gunshots and bombs ring off turn down volume on tv and it only plays out headset

As I only use mine for skype, and had no issue with using it just plugging it into the computer right out of the box, I can't help with this question.
