Just use the RCA cables that came with the ps3, and set the audio feature under "settings" to RCA. Your ps3 will still display with hdmi cable and then output audio with RCA. Also if you're using RCA to output audio, be sure to buy one of these with this specific speaker system http://www.amazon.com/Console-Adapter-Convert-Plugs-Single/dp/B0006U3ACY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1263445395&sr=1-1 This adapter will give your ps3 5.1 channel surround sound without having to use the lame matrix mode.

I do not own a ps4 or xbox one but somewhere I heard this was compatible with the ps4 since this headphone is equiped with 4 pole 3.5mm on the remote control but im not sure what audio is being output through that 3.5mm on the dualshock 4.

Yes, I currently use it in my ps4. The sound quality comes out very good. Only issue is it takes up 1 of the usb ports (that's how it gets powered). But totally worth the money.

It works on PC, but I am not sure about PS4. If the PS4 supports optical cables, which I think it does, then the headset will work. But in order to play on a console you need to have the MixAmp, which is included in this audio system so don't worry about that. You also need to have your PS4 updated with the latest firmware. Setting it up for the console can be a little tricky, but it should include a helpful instruction manual.

I've used it just great via HDMI via a computer and with a Blueray/DVD player hooked up and it work great. I imagine it'd work just fine with an xbox 360... only issue would be controlling the volume on the monitor is a pain in the neck. We used this monitor with a Dish Network box for a few weeks. No remote control with volume controls makes it horrible for sounds. I'd suggest hooking the xbox sound up to an external sound system if you can. Hope that helps.

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 supported my PS3 and my XBOX 360 Slim. So Im sure it will support the XBOX One. Also they update their database of things they control when new things come out. On a side note, I don't use my Harmony 1100 anymore. Not as impressive as I thought and "glitch"

Headphones works with any device with a direct stereo output..does your PS3 have a headphone output? I can't recall as I've sold my PS3...I route all sounds & visual direct out from the HDMI port to my HD TV directly....hope it answers your question.

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.

I play PS4 (Destiny and Advanced Warefare) on it and it seems great to me. I would recommend getting some type of speakers or head set because the sound on the TV is terrible though.

I have a PS3 that is connected to my TV with HDMI. The TV outputs audio to the transmitter of these headphones, and I can hear them. Quality of sound isn't perfect, but it works fine for late night gaming. If your TV has 3.5mm output, or RCA output (white and red connections), then you're good to go. Remember, even when using hdmi, the PS3 can output via toslink or the old school PS2 connector thing.

Yes! I use mine with the Xbox one. Set the Xbox optical output to stereo out and let the PX5 decode the dolby to 7.1 surround. For now, you have to use the Xbox's Kinect to transmit your talk back voice...or buy/make an xbox one talk-back adapter (I bought one on ebay for $45 and it works great). Turtle Beach claims to be making an adapter available eventually, but that won't be until after March at the earliest.

Yes, but it will not be true 5.1 surround. It will say 5.1 Dolby digital on your receiver but if you have a game system(Xbox 360, PS3) with the same apps you will hear the difference in sound.

I haven't tried it with Xbox 1 but I see no reason why it wouldn't work. Mp3s work fine.

What I currently have set up is:a) Optical Cable from TV to Receiver.b) PS3 connected to TV via HDMI.c) 360 connected to TV via HDMI.d) Satellite receiver to TV via HDMI.My TV is capable of splitting the HDMI audio from the devices through the TV to the home theater via the optical audio cable, thus I can receive true 5.1 surround sound output. Again, not all TVs are capable of this, and you will have to check your manual.

It will work with the Xbox One, but not right out of the box. You will need to buy the Xbox one adapter that will allow you to use it (I think the adapter goes for 25 dollars, I don't really remember what I paid for it.) The adapter allows any stereo headset to work so the SLYR works nice. You don't need to do anything but plug the headset straight into the xbox one adapter for headsets and you'll immediately get game sound to tell you that it is working. No more long cables running between you and the tv/xbox 360. The adapter even allows you to adjust game sound right from it by simply pressing the +/- controls. The other side has controls for game/person volume with a mute in the middle.
