    Hey guys,

    As GTA 5 is driving me nuts without voice and since i ordered a PS4 (even if it seems they have some trouble bout that) i'm thinking about a wireless headset.

    I saw that the turtle beach XP510 are pretty popular : http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Wireless-Digital-Headset-Playstation-3/dp/B00B3PDHBU but damn they cost almost the price of the console itself.

    It would be mostly for voice comm, i think i'd rather have the game sound thru my home theater system... which is already 5.1 and shit.

    So if u know a good "voice oriented" wireless (cuz i'm far from the console) headset, i'd be a taker :)

    TIA

    I dont use (nor believe in) wireless headsets so I cant give any recommendations here. Just remember though, a quality headset will not only sound way better but last you a long time. I still have some Sennheiser's that I bought almost 10 years ago.

    g930 user here. Don't get it. The drivers are just bad.

    When you say drivers, do you mean the software drivers or the speaker drivers?

    Like from the CD?


    Bc I have no issues what so ever since Logitech is now using a single download from there website that connects all there gaming products together. If your using the CD software..... well thats ur issue

    are us using software version: 8.50 that was posted on 08/26/2013? and like I said that software version will now be used for all devices then having to have software for each device for gaming

    Yeah i mean it was for PS3 for now but didn't want to invest 200+$ and throw it away in less than 1 month when PS4 is out :D

    Thanks for you guys input tho ! I might go for a bluetooth phone kinda thing as i still wanna have the game sound on my yahama/JBL system, would be good in case of wife aggro but she's loud too with her PC anyway (and i go to bed early so no neighbor aggro :p).
