Can you plug the headset directly into the controller without the chatpad?

Yes you can you can plug it directly to the controller or the chat pad but if you choose chat pad you have to plug the chat pad to the controller and then the headset but otherwise you can just plug the headset to the controller

Yes indeed. All you need to do, is plug in the opitcal cable from the receiver to the console. And yes, you will also need to use the chat cable if you want to chat, haha. But you actually don't need it if you're not talking. I have found that the audio is also quite a bit better too!

Yes, I believe so. The unit base (keypad) needs to be plugged into a phone jack and then the headset plugs into the base. I'm sure you can use it with a normal phone plug in as long as it has a jack that plugs into the base!

No, of course not. The headset is simply plugged in into the headset adapter, which is included. To talk either with the unit, simply push the side "push to talk" button on the transceiver with or without the headset. Either way, you will hear all communications.

No. Unfortunately there isn't an external speaker so you have to use a headset.

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

There's a cord from the headset to the controller because of the adapter. But it's wireless from the controller to the console and tv. Pretty awesome headset.

Yeah, you have to plug the headset to the controller. Just 1 wire that is about 6 feet long.

The PS4 controller doesn't need it. There is already a 3.5mm headset jack on the bottom.

Umm.. Not quite sure what you mean. In my set up, this cord connects to my controller and headsets mic output. It's the part that allows others to hear me in chat. Everything I use is corded though. If you can transmit your voice in chat with out a cord connected to your controllers mic input, this cord isn't needed.

Yes. The transmitter plugs into the optical port for sound and the usb for power and chat. The headset itself only has to be plugged up to charge.

Without Headset is this not possible, the button VOX "free speaking" exist only on the headset. The devise has only a button PTT (push to talk).

Yes you can but you will experience feedback issues, its not worth it. Just go with the usb set up, plugging it into the controller is more of an xbox thing.

Chat pad connects to controller and works wirelessly, however the headset has a wire that plugs into the chat pad on the controller. So 50% wireless.

I do not know. As I have a same gamepad long ago (which I bought with $4), the driver has already been installed to my PC. So I can use this one directly without installing the driver.

Yes, you plug one part of a mic control into your Xbox and then plug the included 2.5mm cable into your controller.

Negative, I own this headset and an Xbox controller. The Xbox controller wouldn't take this interface. This is strictly for computers.
