can you easily mute with this headset? Say i'm using it on ps3, I just want to easily mute myself so I can talk to someone if need be.

I am just "learning the ropes" about using this headset so I honestly could not tell you. Sorry I could not give you a better response.

I couldn't hear in a regular call, so a ps3 may be a problem. Not satified with the Bluetooth at all

this bluetooth headset comes with only three buttons: 1 button is to power on/off the head set, the 2nd button to turn up the volume and the 3rd button to turn down the volume. There's no mute button.

I have tried that feature. I do like the fit, however,on and becomes difficult.

You have to power it down. There is no mute function. I take mine off to shut it off because you have to hold the power button for between like 6 and 10 seconds. The power button is directly across from the earbud so it shoves it into your ear. So in short, no...

Sorry Danny I can't help you because mine would not work at all with my phone and UPS just picked up for a return.

Yes you can. Just like hanging up a call, you can hit the phone button to mute yourself.

I'm not sure how u put the headset it's self on mute I just hit the mute button on my phone and it works. The headset its self is great I'm on the road and it works very well

It's not a noise cancelling headset, so I suppose the only factor involved is how loud the sound coming out of the headset is. It doesn't leak though, so people around you won't hear your conversation.

Most everything works on the PS4. The volume controls are a bit wonky but you'll get used to them in time. The software side doesn't work to lower chat volume and there is no "your voice through speakers" feature like Turtle Beach has. If you play a lot of multiplayer like I do, you'll find a sweet spot and leave it there. As for being comfy? They are quiet comfortable. Of course if you wear glasses you'll eventually get the geek headache from it squeezing them into your domepiece. Otherwise if you wear them without a hat or glasses on, they are comfortable. I've owned headsets from every brand on the market. Turtle Beach is alright but they break easily. Astro is by far too expensive and the company attitude/customer service is vomit worthy. Tritton is just... sad. Logitech and Corsair are awesome but console compatibility is an issue. This headset is actually well built and my favorite I've owned. It has some quirks but it makes up for it in ease of setup. Other headsets require a ton of unsightly cabling.

I am sorry, I didn't try the chat volume at all since I don't play video games. I do believe you can control them independently, coz I found a small volume adjuster for the master volume that I didn't know about when I wrote the review, that makes volume adjustment easier.

Hi Tammy. There is an on off button on the headset. It actually turns off the unit, so you would not continue to hear your customer, but I do use it for muting if it's brief. Hope that helps.

the headset can be used as a phone, but it will mute the mic on the phone itself. Honestly, I think the phone feature is weak ... I no longer even try as the folks I speak with can't hear me well.

Yes. Until PS4 patches a third party Ian audio problem, you will have to use the plug to hardwire them into the controller. Cord goes from "line in" on headset to bottom audio jack on controller. The problem reportedly will be taken care of, but while it's not patched it doesn't allow for you to adjust Game-Chat audio OR the volume from the headset. You must use the settings on the ps4 menu to adjust volume and game-chat is standard. The only headset actually in full function with ps4 now that I know of is the PS4 gold headset, but with the patch on the way, this one is an obvious choice for me. Quality is amazing and super cool looking. Yes. Until PS4 patches a third party Ian audio problem, you will have to use the plug to hardwire them into the controller.

I think you meant mute? I have found no way to mute at the device itself. But the iPhone mute button does work. There is a play/pause button, and a "hangup" button. During a call, the play button does nothing. The hangup button will hangup if pressed quickly. If pressed and held, the headset is disconnected, but not muted. So I am going to say no.

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

The mic is totally fine - no complaints there. I use Mumble/Vent regularly and my clanmates have had no complaints. I also don't have to use mic boost or anything like that.

I could hear my voice through the headset, when I downloaded mumble speak, to be able to talk online while gameing, so I assume u should be able too if you are telling the computer you are on a headset with mike :) when I had to set mumble up, it had me do a voice thingy, and I could hear myself, so.. that's all I know :)

Can you use it as a mic and headset for ingame chat? Yeah. Can you have the entire ps3s output audio routed to these headphones? No. Youll need extra cables and adapters for that

There is no mute on the headset. There is a gotcha! You have to order the adapted plug/ cord separately. I learned that the hard way. Once you've paid extra for that I have to say that they do work great.

Don't know about a mute, bit it does have a volume control. I like the headset a lot.

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?

It works great with my ps4 other than the fact that my kids got ahold of them. they spun the mic around so many times they broke the mute. I still love them though(the headset). When ive tried to hook them up to my xbox one i had to buy an xb1 mic connector thing. they are $20 or so. What you have to do is connect the chat pad to the controller. Then get a 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable and plug that from the chat pad to the headset. seems simple and no its not wireless anymore but i can live with that. The problem i am having is i can hear the game but i cant talk to my buddies. maybe im doing it wrong. i would suggest buying any headset that says it works with xb1.
