NIP's Headset Question [Astro]

NipXe

I am thinking of buying the Astro A40 (or A30).
This is a headset that is mostly used by XBOX and PS3 players, but it is compatable with PC. The headset connects to a mixamp which then connects to a XBOX/PC. I think it is mostly used by XBOX players because of the Optical cable option, which really improves the suround sound quality. Most PC Sound cards don't have a Optical cable Line In/Out so this is why it is not an ideal PC gaming headset.

Well I've got the Creative Audigy 2 ZS, and on the front panel I got a Optical In and Optical Out slots. In my opinion if I use this port I will be able to get the top performance out of the headset and mixamp. Is this a good idea?
I know that the headset is also good by itself, but will I be able to use this Optical connection option in the way I think?

Thanks naps

Where do you get the money for all this stuff?

Student loan? Or are you selling yourself on the street?

wont be great for cf bc cf supports a 2.1 audio sound the Astro is a 5.1 so it wont be any different form a razar caraies or steel series 7h.

I have personally used this headset with a ps3, and it is great. The only problem is bang for your buck. As you said, it is mostly for consoles. If you get this headset, you may as well get a console with it. Also, I would recommend turtle beach's new Headset, the PX5. This is their newest, and best headset. It is also pricey, but you can check it out here. http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/ps3-gaming-headsets/ear-force-px5.aspx

I am not spending £150 just because of CF....lol.
I would use it for other games etc, music and whatnot.

Ponies aren't very useful.

You'd be better off with a Donkey or a Horse.
