Has anyone tried this with video game consoles? Which ones worked with the BoomPro mic?

I use it with the Astro Mixamp and the Recon3D USB on game consoles. It works fine. The end of the cable that connects to the mixamp/recon is a mic/audio in one, a TRRS connection. It comes with a y-cord so you can use that to split the two lines. It will work with any console as long as you have the correct adapter for the hardware.

This will not work with an XBox or PS3. The audio and mic jacks are married and can only separate about 4 inches. Also, Microsoft uses a different size mic connector on the controller so you would need an adapter with an extension cord. I don't even know for certain if an adapter exists for this. The V-Moda boom is better suited for PC gaming - which it excells at. You might be able to mod it to work with consoles if you can find a mic connection adapter.

I'm sure if you buy a mix amp for your console, you can definitely plug the BoomPro mic into the device and get it working. I don't know about the low volume issue when speaking into the mic. I have a Sharkoon 5.1 analog gaming headset that i used with the 360 and it had the low volume problem where people can barely hear you talk. This mic is crystal clear on the PC, not noise canceling though, but I could care less. If you match this with an audiophile quality headphone, you are set. So far the BoomPro mic and Philips Fidelio X1 headphones have worked flawlessly on the PC and on Counter Strike people can hear me just fine.

I use it with my vmoda crossfade m100's for the ps4 and xbox one. Xbox one does require the headset adapter plugged into the controller though.

I haven't gotten people to hear me yet in game, but the ps3 recognizes it as a sound device.

on their website it states it's compatible with the ps4 and ps vita for voice chat, probably could work with xbox with some kind of adapter, or also possibly on the ps3 if you were to have a mix amp like another person stated, but it is mainly made for something that already has a standard headphone jack.

I have ONLY used my Boom Mic Pro in connection with my V-Moda Crossfade LP headphones. I am not familiar with any other uses, nor applications in which the Boom Mic Pro can be used, thus I am not qualified to say whether it will work or not. I'm sorry I cannot offer a better reply than that. I hope you find the answer you are looking for, and I wish I could be more helpful.

This has been my problem too (digital optical/ TOSLINK/ SPDIF compatibility). I think I might go for gaming headsets such as Turtlebeach (PX5 etc) and use it for both games and movies. Plus, they have a digital optical OUT that you can hook up with your home theater/ sound bar system.

Any wireless headset in your price range for the game machine you own will work just fine. The Turtle Beach Ear Force X42 are affordable and have worked very well for us. They also work for both the xbox 360 and PS4 systems. FWIW.

Yes, with the headset adapter it works very well with xbox one. I also use it on my ps4, which doesnt need an adapter and it works very well with both consoles. Best chat and game audio ive ever used is my vmoda crossfade m110 and boompro mic.

I am pretty sure it works with games. I tried it and it was pretty good sound quality. I'm still trying to work with it but from what I heard it was pretty good.

I have an XP400 and just bought the Xbox one. I have the $30 xbox adapter that goes on the controller and thought that would do it. Sound works great but I can't get any microphone action. I think I need to buy a $10 wire that will go from my headset to the controller. Paying a bunch of extra money to downgrade my headset. Sucks.

It does nd works when using it on a pc... I mainly use it for my ps4 which the inline controller will only work with muting the mic and turning the vibration up.. These work great and sound great I use mine daily.

Yes, I have used these almost daily connected to my PS4 controller headset jack. The JLab is perfect for that. A low cost headset that is perfect for chat since it has good voice clarity and an inline mic. I use it mostly for playing NHL 15 online. You can adjust the volume in game by holding down the PS button until a menu comes up that shows a half dozen setting or so. One of them is the volume control for a connected headset. Hope that helps.

I've actually never used the for that because i have turtle beach headsets, but i believe if they actually connect to the ps3 then they'll do great. The sound from them are pretty good for the price. They're no BEATS but they still sound good for more then 3/4 cut off the price.

I got it for a pc. I would say to look at headsets make specifically for the consoles in question, if they indicate USB, then it will probably work. USB is an internationally standardized protocol for electronics so anything using it should work. Hope that helps

It has a plug in for an external speaker...head set would work for hearing a TX... I don't think your boom mic will work as the plug in is for an "external speaker"

The BoomPro comes with a splitter that converts the single 3.5mm microphone/headphone jack into separate 3.5mm jacks one for headphones and the other for the microphone which was designed to be used with PCs with separate headphone and microphone jacks. I'm almost sure that it will work if you plug them in their respective jacks. (I doubt the color of the jack will have any effect on compatibility at all).

Yes. You have to go to Settings->Devices->Audio devices to set the headphone output to "all audio" and it works for both game and chat audio as well as the microphone. I use these everyday.

I could not make it work with PS3. I googled it and others also can not. I think PS3 is not campatible with any USB headset. The PS3 recognizes the Arenas, as they are listed under devices, but you can not hear any sound. To the person who said it works: Have you actually done it with straight USB?

Yes, works great with the PC. If you want the mic to work though you're going to have to get a blue tooth dongle and pair it with your computer. I couldn't get that to work so I ordered the PC Chat Adapter Cable Kit for Turtle Beach ® & Similar Gaming Headsets. Mic works GREAT!

Yes and no I wouldn't recommend them for a console to start with. It may be possible but It would require an adapter you may be worth buying turtle beach headphones. Also 7.1 would be waisted on a console because often the games don't use 7.1.
