Will a Turtle Beach Ear Force X12 Gaming Headset work on my computer?

Q. I was wondering if there are specific requirements for the X12s.
I have an Acer Aspire M5800.

A. It should work. But trust me, gaming headsets are a waste of money. Just giving you a bit more of a surround sound, even though most sound cards can simulate the same experience with a normal headset.

Plus gaming headsets are designed to break after a certain time, so the customer will have to buy a new one.

Logitech is good too and has wireless ones (but need batteries). You can buy them straight from their website.

can you connect a turtle beach gaming headset to your computer?

Q. it is an XLC Xbox 360 headset

A. Yes, just plug in the long cable to the green jack on your computer. If you need the mic to work too, then you'll have to get a 2.5mm-to-3.5mm female/male adapter to plug into the pink jack on your computer.

If i have bluetooth on my computer can I use a bluetooth headset to make calls and video game talking?

Q. I want to get a headset to play online games and do VOIP with. I already have bluetooth headset and I was wondering that if I purchase a bluetooth transmitter for my computer if I would be able to do those functions with my current headset.

A. Yes you would. You'd just have to make sure your bluetooth dongle for your computer is set up properly with all the proper drivers and what not. Then just sync your headset with your computer and you should be able to use it. Depending on the drivers that your bluetooth dongle uses though, it may be completely painless, or it may require some tinkering on your part. It also partially depends on your headset.

One thing you'd want to look out for if you're planning on playing online games with it is that you'd want to set up your sound to go to your speakers instead of the headset, unless you have a stereo headset (sound goes to both ears) then you'll want to make sure you purchase a bluetooth dongle that supports A2DP which will allow you to use your bluetooth headset with stereo sound.

Help with Computer headset for gaming?

Q. Well im getting a Turtle Beach Ear Force Z1 for my first headset for gaming and i just wanna know one thing, What do the Headset USB Adapters do? cause i wand to have music coming out of my speakers and sub woofers but still chat with my friends online, that means i dont want the music coming out of my headset i was my friends voices coming out the headset and thats it. Now if i want that to happen do i get a Headset USB adapter like the Turtle Beach Amigo II or are there other ways to do this

A. You can select what hardware device is used for which purpose in the Control Panel if you are running Windows.

In the Control Panel, select 'Sound'. Just set your speakers as the default device for sound output, and the headset for voice recording/input. You can talk all you want and sound will still come from the speakers.

You don't necessarily need a USB headset to do this. Even analog (headset-jack type) mics can be setup this way. Windows just needs to recognize that there is some kind of headset/mic installed on the computer.

What is a good desktop computer speaker system?

Q. I want to buy some new computer speakers since my old cheap speakers broke and I'm sick of using a gaming headset for music and movies. I am looking to spend around $150-200 on a good speaker system. I am a "semi-audiophile" and I appreciate good sound. I would prefer a system with a good balance of highs, mids, and lows and would rather have a good 2.1 system than a cheap surround sound system. I would prefer a system with a subwoofer, but if there are any that have good bass without one, I am open to it. I don't have a sound card on my computer, but I am open to buying one if it makes a considerable difference. Any help is appreciated.

A. Here are a few speaker systems that fall within your price range.

What is a good durable gaming headset for the PC?

Q. I am looking for a headset that will last me a few years and that has a microphone. I would be using it to talk to my friends while gaming. Some of the games I would be playing are Minecraft, Gary's mod, and other games like that. I have already thought about buying the Creative Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Alpha USB Gaming Headset, because I can find them relatively cheap, and they come with a sound card. I am using a dell inspiron N7110 so obviously the headset would have to be compatible with the driver inside my computer. My budget is $50 excluding shipping, but for shipping I would prefer it to be relatively cheap, as in, maybe under $6?

A. whats up Jacob,

If your budget is around $50, then I'd definitely recommend either Steelseries or plantronics.

They both make excellent midrange models, and the V2 is arguably the best in its price range. Surround sound is solid, and the condenser mic has surprisingly good noise cancellation.

Siberia V2:

Good luck and happy gaming!

What should I get for a Gaming computer?

Q. Well I just got a computer so i want to get some upgrades for it. Ive been looking at Razer Carcharias Gaming Headset, a logitech g510 keyboard, and a razer molten naga mouse. SO im asking you if you have any reason i should not get these or any recommendations on what i should get?

A. All the worthless bells and whistles you mentioned above are not "upgrades", as you called them.

For a gaming computer, what you really need is:

A good processor, at least Intel Core i5-2500K or even better i7-2600K, mount either one on an LGA1155, Z68 chipset motherboard
A good graphics card, at least GeForce GTX460 or better
Minimum 4GB (8GB would be better) of DDR3 1600 or 1333 RAM

How do you fix an Astro A40 Computer Headset Buzzing Noise?

Q. I just got a new Astro a40 computer gaming headset. But it makes a constant buzzing or crackling or static noise that is very annoying and stupid for the expense of this headset. This noise is also heard by others when I'm in Skype. I can't find a solution anywhere. Help.
I just noticed, it seems like the more tabs and programs I have up the louder the static sound.

A. This happened to a Turtle Beach headset my brother had. I just installed the latest realtek audio drivers and it fixed the problem.

is it possible to wire USB headsets to a clear com belt pack?

Q. I'm looking to update my theatre's headset inventory as cheaply as possible. If I took a computer or gamer headset (earmuffs) could I make or create an adapter to a ClearCom belt pack 4-pin female input?

A. Not one with a USB plug. USB is digital and the clearcoms are analog. There is some circuitry somewhere on the USB headset (usually in one of the cups) that converts the digital to analog, so I guess you could patch in on the other side of that, but it's probably way too much work. A better alternative would be to use an analog gamers headset. They usually have 2 plugs at the end of the cable for the mic and the speakers. You can probably get the necessary plug from someone like markertek (http://www.markertek.com/Connectors-Adapters/Audio-Connectors/XLR-Connectors/Neutrik-USA-Inc/NC4FX.xhtml?NC4MX ). That or search eBay for NOS or used ( http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&_nkw=clearcom+headset&_sacat=See-All-Categories ).

Q. I'm looking for a headset that is around 25 dollar to maybe 59. I would also like one that is wireless or have a long cord. Also can game headsets work on a computer? I have a friend who is offering to sell me it for 40$.

A. Logitech makes awesome peripherals. Just search around their website and I am sure you will find something that fits your budget and your needs.

As far as I know, I don't think that gaming headsets for like an Xbox or a PS3 would be compatible with a computer.
