Can I use this to connect headphones directly from PS3 (ie not going through a TV)?

I guess you do. My understanding is that the device can decode either PCM or DTS signals. If your PS3 delivers this type of signal in the optical port, then you are good to go. Just, expect a little delay from the device, which is not really evident, untill yo set the TV speakers and the device at the same time. Sound becomes with a little echoed, but its minimal. If you just want to turn off the TV speakers and use headphones only, it will work like a breeze!

I hooked them up to my ps3 but I used a usb adapter to plug them in. Something like this will let you use the mic: Sabrent USB 2.0 Virtual External 7.1 Surround Sound Adapter (USB-AUDD)I also used 3.5mm Female to 2 RCA Male Jack Audio Video Cable 1.5M to get the sound from the tv to the headphones because I don't think it came through the headphone slot on the adapter for some reason.

Hi If you will connect it thru the usb port if the ps3, then no. The ps3 doesn't have audio out from the usb port.

I'm not sure how the Playstation is set up but it should work if it has a jack for both the audio output and input

I own both this and a PS3 and as far as I know, it cannot, since it has a standard audio jack. Your headphones would need a USB to fit the PS3 (it does not have a standard audio jack), besides this does not have a microphone so you wouldn't be able to use it for team chat. You might wanna look at Turtle Beach and Sony headsets. I just got a Xp400. It's pretty great and wireless to boot.

You could plug your PS3 to your PC using an optical audio cable, and then you could use the PC speakers with your PS3

If you plug the seperator in, and buy a usb stereo audio adapter, it should work. You can get them cheap on amazon. I've done it with older PC headsets that have the mic and audio cord, just plug them into the adapter and plug the usb adapter into the ps3, and it should work.

I can say from experience, it Does work with the PS3. You do have to set your PS3 to use it as an input sound device, but that is a simple matter. I would recommend buying a couple 3.5mm extension cords as well though, since you have to plug the headset microphone into the adapter, and the headphone plug into your TV (PS3s don't output sound through the USB ports)

Hello. If the PS3 has a Bluetooth function then there should be no issue using them with it. Thank you

Good question. I just tried it out by reversing the 3x 1/8" from my desktop to the adapter and that to the headphones (although you can use speakers, i just had my ps3 headphones on hand and used the RCA passthough and connected that to the RCA end on the adapter). And it did not work. Absolutely no sound came out, I guess its only one direction that it functions. Hope that helped.

Yes or no, depending on your TV, but either way it will not affect how far the headset can be away from the PS3. The headset has two cables: a composite cable (red and white jacks) and a USB cable. BOTH need to connect to the PS3 in some way, but only the USB cable determines how far away the headset can be from the PS3. If you use your PS3's composite (red, white, yellow) cable to connect your PS3 to your TV, then YES you need to connect the headset's composite cable to your TV. If you use an HDMI cable to connect your PS3 to your TV, then NO you do not have to connect the headset's composite cable to your TV, but you still need to connect the PS3's composite cable to the headset's composite cable.

Yes via an audio amplifier. You can connect the audio output from the tv directly to an audio amplifier and use the headphone socket on your audio amplifier. I do not believe that you can directly connect headphones to the TV as it does not have a headphone jack socket,

if you use the basic rca cables that came with the ps3 and plug it into the reciever with an hdmi cable connecting the tv and reciever it might work.

Probably a stupid question, can this be used for audio signals? : ie. for wireless headphones?

You'll need to use the PS3 AV Cable. Plug that into the back of the PS3 and then plug the red and white cables (audio) into the red and white cables for the headset. That's how I have mine connected and seems to work fine. By the way, don't forget to change your audio input/output settings on your PS3 once this is done. If you don't, you'll still get all audio going out via the HDMI.

I don't have a PS3, but according to the internet there is nothing special about the ps3 bluetooth setup so they should work.

You usually plug in headphones to the TV you have your PS3 connected to. So it depends if you have a place to plug in headphones on your TV/Monitor.
