does the mic work for gaming , are these to "up there" for gaming?

It's not the perfect choice for gaming, for music yes, but for gaming you have good choices more than this. Because gaming depends in dolby sound and DTS.

I use them for everything. Video Chat, Phone, Music, Mixing, Gaming. They are really great cans! They aren't known for their mic abilities but the speaker fidelity is excellent. There is no pop filter on the mic and the mic is on the laniard so it will pick up more background noise.

The mic will work for online gaming, but no game sounds. In my opinion, that means, "No, it will not work with the PS3.

I doubt it, these earbuds are advertised as being for "gaming" but it also says "mobile" in the title so, they are really only meant for taking calls on your iphone or android. I bought these earbuds for PC and the only thing that functions is the sound. Unfortunately, an adapter or headphone/mic splitter is needed in my case to take advantage of the mic and the sound. I went with the StarTech MUYHSFMM but there are all sorts of options to chose from. After doing a search, Turtle Beach makes a PS4 upgrade kit for headsets but you might just be better off buying something strictly for PS4, instead of going through all the hassle of special connectors.

You can use it for gaming, though the quality isn't what you would get with a more expensive set. I have also found that the cord length is rather meager and had to buy extensions to be comfortable.

Negative. These have the mic and headphone wire and it comes with a usb driver to plus those in to. The Turtle Beach X12 is Xbox ready though and they are awesome!

I find it great for gaming. Great sound and great isolation for voice on the mic and just today I found them comfortable enough to wear for 3 hours straight (it was a teleconference this time though)

Definitely won't fit a mic... these are the ear pads. Don't know anything about it fitting on xbox items either. I used them for plantronics phone headsets only.

I'm using this for gaming. Perfomance of this headphone is nice but you will need microphone to use skype or something.I bought headphones because my laptop has a microphone.

Yes, very comfortable for long hours gaming. Used one for 2 years, finally wore out the microphone, ordered another one. I only use my glasses when reading, but have used them with this headset and it was fine.

I am pretty sure that I understand what you mean and the answer is yes. That is what I use it for. I am not sure how it will work with gaming, as I use it on a work computer.

I use it for gaming and commentary and it's great if you are recording, or if you have other people making noises around you because it cancels it out and only records you however this mic is very low. That is a common complaint about it, no matter how many settings I try to adjust, there's no way to increase the volume any more. I have a hard time talking in game, and everyone says my mic is too low. I gave it to my boyfriend who now uses it to record his songs, and play acoustic guitar. For this purpose it works flawlessly with great sound. I recommend the Blue yeti for gaming and commentaries, my gamer friend swapped from the snowball to this, and I plan on doing so too.

Yes if course. This headset has adequate mic and sound quality for that. Tho I do have to admit, when using this for long, hurts my ears. But that's coz I got small ears. The blue LEDS on the ear cups is super pretty :)

I agree with previous responds, never tried with games but used for listening music. If your head isn't large try them. It didn't work for me since my head is large.

Yes, I have been using them for a long time. I have numerous pairs for game play. I use it for Skype also.

I agree with the other two answers these are way over kill for gaming, I personally like to have a mic built in to my phones also.

Anything with sound is really a matter of personal preference but I think these would be great for movies and music. The tone is very neutral so voice dialog in movies and tv shows should be clear and easy to hear. Music sounds great because no frequency range seems to be boosted more than any other so it sounds very natural. For gaming they should also do fine. Personally I have one of Sennheisers dedicated gaming headsets (PC350 and PC360) but mostly because of the built in mic.

These headphones are a step above the xbox headphones...but they only give you voice chat, game sounds still come from t.v. You would have to invest in higher end ones like turtle beach.
