Would this headset be compatible with an Astro Mix Amp? Would it be suggested to buy an Amp with this headset?

I believe it should work with the astro amp with its USB Input but I used it without an amp and it worked excellently with good hefty sound right out of the box on its own.

It should be. IMO I don't think you need the amp. But everyone games differently and has different needs. The standard functions of the headset allow you to adjust gameplay and voice, so, it's up to you. I've never owned an amp, so I don't know.

If you want to take the astro mix amp + pc headset route, i'd recommend the Senn pc360. That seems to be agreed on as the best combo for quality surround sound. Pricey though. Honestly, save money and get the u320's. You'll be happy with the sound.

I'm not sure if it's compatible with an Astro mix amp because it has usb as its main connection. You may be able to find a way though. You dont really need an amp because the sound quality is really good for what it is. I am using it on my PS4 simply through usb. Its a bit more complicated on older systems. The only reason i'd see for an amp is to increase the max volume when going through usb. The only adjustment is a dial on the wire that goes loud enough, but itd be nice if it went louder...just to know it could haha. I highly recommend these.

this will work on omega headset since they were ment to be companion with each other but other creative headset require using 3.5mm jack audio and mic in.

I would imagine anything that had a standard "headset" type plug would work. I can't recommend anything though. We just used the headset that came with the unit.

It would probably work, 'BUT", a headphone is an unbalanced stereo device and the outputs on the Octa are balanced mono. You will need to use two outputs configured as stereo per headset. Also you will need 4 "Y" adapters to get the signal to the headsets. The other option would be to create adapters that will take the mono out and send it to both sides of the stereo headset connector. This assumes that the output is a full mix of course. If you are looking for a headset kilt /amp those are a lot cheaper than the Octa is.

Hello Tiffany! This is a great headset but it's a HEADSET only. What will you be plugging this into?

Yes It will. I had that setup first and then switched to the Mixamp pro. These headphones will make you so aware of your surroundings in game. Especially in Dom or TDM. It's harder in the big game types do to all the action going on but still a great step up from the A40's.

Simple answer yes, but if you were planning to use a headset with a optical cable it wont work.

There is no way to tell since I have not used it in the way described. They sound good, and it would PROBABLY work for that, but my problem is that the headset snapped and broke after I had it for 2 days. Big bummer.

it sounds tiny because it is 150 ohms so it needs an amp to push it but the pc 360 are 50 ohm and dont need an amp ... jus look for a headset with 50 or less ohms and u wont need an amp

Well, I have a turtle beach head set, and I to had to use optical digital audio output. In my case, it worked, so it should work for you as well.

If you don't have Optical Out on your PC, you cant connect the Mixer to the using Analog out, only through USB. Although it did have mini PL cable to connect MIC and Sound to (i don't know how it's called) mini PL with 4 wires, it didn't had the same cable to connect it to the Mixer.So basically another "Astro Console Cable" (even with out the mute Mic button) would be nice, if you don't have Optical Out.

It should. You may have to update the mix amp on the Astro website. But I didn't buy the pc splitter. So you may have to purchase one sepretly or unless you can find one that comes with it.

I think you need headset with a mini-jack. I suspect you can trade in the one you bought for one that features a mini-jack. I also think you can get a converter that takes the larger jack in one end and has a mini-jack on the other. Radio Shack may have one of these and it shouldn't cost more than an couple of bucks if they do. Good luck.

It's just a 3.5mm (1/8th inch) jack on either side, so as long as you can get audio into it then the source doesn't matter. I have not tried to use something like a microphone headset with it, but I don't imagine that would pass the signals through, and you would need a 4-connector cable on the other end, which I've never seen.It has its own volume controls (which is why I got it, to use with a console's line out) so even if the volume control on your headphones don't work, you can adjust the volume on the amp itself.

I would think this would work, I've used Bose, Sennheiser, Sony, and Samsung headsets and they all work fine.

I am not sure. I also wanted to try this, but I was not able to find any extra headsets for this base other than the combo found here on amazon

I'm not really sure. I've only paired it with two headsets so far. But I don't see why not. Feel free to get in touch with me at jagrmfx@hotmail.com if you have some way I can test it for you. I'll be happy to help.
