    Whaddup my beautiful hombrés!

    Check these babies out! So, they're awesome. Yes. But they've got bloody 360 stamped all over them... Gross. But they're still awesome. Ok, now we've established that I'll move on to the point.

    It says under the FAQ section of the overview:

    So I'm sitting here wondering whether or not I've got "digital output" or not. I'm guessing it's a yes, I know these things are pretty tooled up as far as ports n' possibilities go. Can anyone give me a solid answer?

    And I'd really like to know if any of you guys have actually used these things in conjunction with an AW notebook! Would also be really great if any of you have any decent suggestions regarding a top of the range wireless headset if the X41 isn't an option.

    I've had this silly little vision of having my shiny laptop set up on a desk or something and have it beaming awesome tunes to my super awesome wireless headphones while I'm doing stuff round the house or when I'm sitting in the garden.

    (Oh yeah, do these things transmit effectively through walls / floors / ceilings?)

    Luvz ya!

    :D

    Whaaaaaaaaaaat the ****?!

    You need all the crap to make 'em work? So I can't even get audio (no microphone) without the little USB sound card and the cable? Anybody
    know of a high-end wireless headset designed to work with PC then?

    :(

    this is what i'm planning on getting next pay-day.

    better stats than the turtlebeach one and i'm a little bit of a senhieser fanboi.
    (had my hd555's for years and nothing comes close to its comfort. audio quality is top notch as well) only thing is the hd555 are wired and no mic (been using the laptop's mic atm)

    *edit*
    wait i'm sorry i didn't read the wireless bit >.<
    just woke up.

    in that case, a friend of mine has this which is not bad at all
    personally though, why not just get the usb adapter and plug your current headphones in?
