Reddit mentions of Sennheiser PCV 05 Combo Audio Adapter

This is the type of adapter you need. You can get them for less than $10 in the states.

At 32 ohms it shouldn’t be too tough to have your PS4 push out the power for the headphones.

You probably don’t need to use an external sound card and could just use the controller. I’ve done that with my sennheiser HD598 (50 ohms). If you need a microphone and headphone splitter cable this is the one that I use with a zalman in-line microphone. Of course, with the SHP 9500 you have the benefit of a 3.5mm connection so you could just get a V-Moda BoomPro and plug that directly into the controller.

Sorry this may not be the solution you’re looking for but it is cheaper than buying a new soundcard🙈

Just as a heads up, you can plug and use any headset into the ps4 controller as long as you get a 4 pole jack plug like this http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Combo-Adapter/dp/B00IM36VU0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457793178&sr=8-1&keywords=sennheiser+audio+adapter


No need to spend 100 bucks on the sony exclusive one, unless you REALLY want it.

I also don't think it's really necessary when you don't play much multiplayer with friends but good headphones really enhance the exprience when playing horror games or generally games with thick atmosphere. A good sound system would probably still be better but I don't know your setup.

If you want to hear footsteps get the Game One*, they're open backed so you get a better soundstage which is exactly what you need for positioning footsteps.

From what I read make sure you get the 50 Ohm version as the 150 Ohm version you wouldn't be able to drive very well via the controller, but all new versions are the 50 Ohm so you should be fine. I'm not sure how the cable is but if it's a split microphone and headphone jack (which I assume it is seeing as this is in the frequently bought together thing) you'll need to get this: http://amzn.com/B00IM36VU0

You could use a y cable and plug in whatever you want - https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Combo-Adapter/dp/B00IM36VU0

There's a specific splitter you can get, lemme try and find it, that separates the mic inline and headphone. Allowing you to use a modmic.

Sennheiser 598's with Antlion modmic. Amazing pair of headphones with a detachable mic to avoid strange looks in public. You will need this splitter as well!

I use a ModMic 5 with my Sennheiser HD 650.

This adapter to split.

This cable to make it less annoying

The cable doesn't seem to be in stock anymore, but you get the idea.

Plug the cable into your controller, the splitter into the cable, the mic into the mic input of the splitter, and your headphones into the headphone input of the splitter.

Make sure any cables you get are 4-pole so it supports stereo audio plus the microphone.

The mic is detachable (magnetic) and looks like this attached.

A little bit before handing the mixamp off to my roommate to use. You need an adapter to plug into a mixamp. This guy worked for me. In the end, I found myself abandoning the mixamp altogether though. It's a cool idea, but I just found the quality level of the execution lacking.

Another option- I'm linking the one I got below. It is like $14, but the cheap ones seemed to have really mixed reviews, to say the least, so I went with the Sennheiser one with muchhh better reviews.

https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Combo-Adapter/dp/B00IM36VU0

I use an adapter with a Sennheiser headset that also has separate plugs for mic and audio:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IM36VU0/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496797679&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=sennheiser+adapter&dpPl=1&dpID=41QUvxEpI3L&ref=plSrch

There are probably cheaper options as well.

I just have the optical audio from the xbox into the mixamp, and a usb from xbox to mixamp. The headset goes into a cord like this -
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IM36VU0/ref=pd_aw_sim_63_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=41QUvxEpI3L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL100_SR100%2C100_&refRID=1J61PFDAQB2KF3ZRW069

Which should have come with your mixamp, and that's it, mine worked right off.

I actually only just got this stuff this week, the Sennheiser's are awesome!

I've got a Logitech G430 and I love it. Great surround sound, really good mic, and comfortable on your head. Reasonably priced at $80.

Its wired, so you'll be tethered to your PS4, but you can also get a little adapter which allows you to plug the mic into your PS4 controller.

It looks like according to the Sennheiser website you need this adapter.

This is the adapter I use for my headphones with a mic on my ps4.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IM36VU0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I had a similar issue so I bought a new audio adapter and the problem was fixed.

I actually use a sennheiser pc headset and plug it into this which goes in a usb port.

You can also use this and plug it into the headset/mic port on the controller.

Since you are gaming on the PS4, running a good headphone and modmic combo will require ONLY ONE of the following -

1. A dac/amp with USB ($$$)
   Example - Creative G6 is $150. There are others but this is a good starting point.
   
2. A splitter so you can connect the headphone and mic to your controller $)
   Example - https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Combo-Adapter/dp/B00IM36VU0/ref=sr_1_2?crid=F4345XWFRIM0&keywords=sennheiser+splitter&qid=1556639491&s=gateway&sprefix=sennhei%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-2
   
3. USB soundcard compatible with the PS54 ($)
   Example - https://antlionaudio.com/collections/accessories/products/antlion-audio-usb-sound-card
   
   Personally my current setup for PS4 is a Creative SoundBlasterX G6 dac/amp connected to a HD 600 and modmic 4.0. Extreme overkill headphones but I mainly use it on PC and the G6 allows me to effortless switch between the two. Also I don't like the audio out of the PS4 controller in general so I did not opt for that method.
   
   For $250 I would suggest getting a good set of cans and then using option 2 (splitter) or 3 (compatible usb sound card) to start with. If you don't like the audio quality, then move up to the dac/amp.
   
   Now coming to the closed back can's that you want, there are a few good options that come to mind (please note the order is not a ranking of preference, simply what came to mind first) :
   
   
4. Beyerdynamic DT 770 32 Ohm- $180 on Amazon.com
   
5. Sennheiser HD 569- $110 on Amazon.com
   
6. Sennheiser HD 598 Cs- $ 150 on Amazon.com
   
   ​
   
   I would also wait a while for others in this subreddit to give you their choices in closedback headphones.

> wired or wireless

All depends on monitor/desk gaming or living room/sofa gaming

> I have heard great things about the Sennheiser's but I like using mine for just regular headphones sometimes with my phone for music

You can use those Sennheiser's for that too It has separate audio (green) and mic (pink) jacks but a simple PCV 05 Combo Audio Adapter combines the two (just an FYI, Astro include there own within the Mixamp) but I do admit its not as convenient for this usage compared to the dual threaded audio/mic cable that the Astro A40's use.

> Is the mic detachable on the Sennheisers?

Unfortunately no but it is the same kind of style as the Astro A50's mic, Meaning that to mute the mic you simply flip the mic up and that's why it is not detectable.

Yeah, it's built to accommodate TRRS plugs, so if you have one wire for your headphones and microphone then it'll work just fine. But if you have a setup with two separate cords, you'll need a cable to join them. I use this, but it's neither the cheapest nor the only option available.

An adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Combo-Adapter/dp/B00IM36VU0

I use the ($60) [Logitech G430] (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104847) w/ Sennheiser Splitter cable, it really needs a splitter as audio is too low without. As for features, it sounds like any other headset nothing special, but it is more comfortable with it's softer earcups. I heard of someone using an adapter from turtle beach to get full 7.1 out of them as they are advertised to offer 7.1, but only on PC. I've never tried adapter on PS4:




But, I also heard alot of good things about HyperX, I think this is their first gen pair($68)

And last but not least the PC fav,Kraken($70)



A bit of advice on any headphones you choose(if you plan to use microphone function), you would do well to have some audio splitter cable as audio improves dramatically. For example, my G430 came with an adapter that ran through USB, but audio was so low it was worthless. Also, pretty much any headphones should work on PS4 with an adapter or Splitter cable, but splitter is a better solution, just stay away....far away from anything branded "StarTech" as they are usually recommended or shown "bought together" on Amazon, they seem perfect cuz their cheap, but I used a splitter adapter from them and it was DOA.

The Zeros are a closed back design and come with a case and cost more. The Game Ones are way better because of the open back design but if you game in a loud environment you will be able to hear it all through the headset and people around you can some what hear what your listening too. Open Back offers better sound stage for the best audio positioning but have no sound isolation. I never buy headsets used for many reasons. For some reason the White game ones are usually cheaper and if you order from Amazon just make sure it's shipped and sold by Amazon and not a third party company. Also they should fit fine over your glasses. Since it's a headset designed for PC it uses a 3.5mm mic and 3.5mm audio jacks. So for the Xbox One and laptops you will need an adapter Sennheiser sells one I will link it. Also for Xbox one I would waste your money on one of the Adapters just go for a new Xbox One controller that has a 3.5mm combo Jack.

Game One White

Game Zero Black

Sennheiser Adapter

As for issues with them on Xbox One in my testing I didn't encounter any. Besides the fact they can't be turned up to extremely loud volumes because of there semi high impedance(for a headset). Your MacBooks on board audio should be fine. When you build a PC don't cheap out and get a cheap Motherboard because the On board audio on cheaper boards may not be able to run the this headset well.

We do ship to Australia, and you'll need a Y-connector like this. A generic version of that cable would generally be cheaper and work just as well.

> Sennheiser Game Zero headseT

You may not need extention cables, the Vive comes with a headset port on the head display, it comes out over the top strap, you will need an adapter though for the 2 to 1

https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Combo-Adapter/dp/B00IM36VU0/ref=pd_bxgy_147_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00IM36VU0&pd_rd_r=1ZK52ZWYNDQY0B7GXR5T&pd_rd_w=oYe9V&pd_rd_wg=ev7BE&psc=1&refRID=1ZK52ZWYNDQY0B7GXR5T

For the Xbox I use HiFi Man HE400S with a ModMic and a splitter. All of that plugged into the stereo adapter for the controller. No need for the splitter on the PC obviously.

Also, here is a good place to start looking for new headphones/headsets.

You have different options.

If your Beats has a removable headphone wire.
V-Moda BoomPro add-on Mic.

If your Beats doesn't have a removable headphone wire.

Antlion Mod Mic Unidirectional

Antlion Mod Mic Omnidirectional

If you want to use the Zalman or Antlion mic, you need to purchase a splitter.

Sennheiser Splitter

USB Headphone/Mic Adapter, requires USB extension cable

I think this is what you're looking for. I believe the one you linked is for sharing a connection with two headsets, not merging two different inputs.

I have a mic and it works fine. Here is what I bought to use:

• Headset: Sennheiser 506080 Headset
  
• http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KK8ZLEC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Sennheiser 363D along with the combo audio adapter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IM36VU0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to use on my XB1 and PS4, love em they are loud and sound great.

Sennheiser would be the better choice between the two. Their products are known for having amazing audio and mic quality.

Also, If you want to use these on Xbox, you would need this cable or something alike that's cheaper to work.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IM36VU0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That's the one I use. I'm sure there are cheaper adapters out there but I wanted that one because it matches the cables from the headset, and I didn't want to worry about quality issues.

you don't need an amp for the 598s as they're 50 ohms, so they aren't too hard to drive, but if you just plug them straight into your controller, you will only get stereo audio. that's fine if you don't play many FPS games or don't care for surround, but you get a lot out of the 598s in terms of positions of enemies/teammates if you have simulated surround or 5.1. If anything, I'd try to get the DSS2 for that surround audio. should be able to find a used one for $40-$50 on amazon/ebay or wherever else. you'll also need a splitter to plug in your headphones/modmic which is really cheap, something like this... sennheiser combo audio adapter.

if you get the DSS2 as well, you'll also need a long 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable to get party/game chat audio to go with it. If you don't get the DSS2, then you'll just need that combo adapter, plug both the mic and headphones into the adapter, then plug that into your controller and you're set.

You can use any wired headset with the amp.

You would only need a special cable if the end of your headset cable has separate audio and microphone connections, in that case you would need to get a y-adapter that combines them into a single 4-pole connection.

Sennheiser PCV 05 Combo Audio Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IM36VU0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LPEVCbTX8NP6J

There are less expensive options that work just as well.

Yes you can use the command center as it would be used with the amp regardless of the headset used.

From reading the questions on it's Amazon page it seems like it needs an adapter like this.

It looks like it says it comes with a PCV 07 adapter which I can only assume makes the two 3.5mm mic/headphone into one 4 pole mic/headphone jack. Should be very similar to this based on this picture in the product link

I can't see any reason this wouldn't. I think that_random_italian is wrong when he says it won't.

something like this will work. https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Combo-Adapter/dp/B00IM36VU0/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1479245576&sr=8-8&keywords=pc+headset+to+xbox+adapter

There are cheaper ones available if you search

Just buy sennheiser pc 2 and an y cable works great and is cheap and a lot better than xbox og headset, the only side down i bought the same y cable in another amazon (spain) the one nearest my country and was very cheap at the time like 6\7 euros

My setup is as follows and i have no problems.
Audio technica m50x
Antlion modmic
Sennheiser splitter (https://www.amazon.ca/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Adapter-Headsets/dp/B00IM36VU0)

Well the K545s are made for phones, still high quality as an AKG is though and works fine for anything else.

You could get him The Sennheiser Game One with this plugged into the controller but it raises up to about $200 and MIGHT work with macbook, if not you'll need this as well.

Nice!! Yeah man it works well. I've actually changed my set up since my last post. I now use a Magni 3 so I have my PS4's HDMI to TV and then TV's RCA out to the Magni 3 input. Then Magni to DT770s and separate ModMic directly to controller using one of these

This setup works great for me as I was having a little trouble using a usb dac/amp like I previously posted. For some reason, the usb wouldn't always recognize the mic..

Hope this helps!

yea, but if you want to use the mic you need an adapter like this:

https://www.google.com/shopping/product/14533357305496369445

(i went through a couple cheap ones first and the quality was trash and they added a buzz or just didn't work, so ended up going with these: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Combo-Adapter/dp/B00IM36VU0 which are pretty expensive considering what it is, but they worked and the quality is good)

and if you have an old xbone controller (without the 3.5mm jack) you need an xbone headset adapter.

i read the reviews on it so i'm a little hesitant on that one, would this be basically the same thing?

Looks like you just need a Y-adapter - I use this for my Sennheiser PC360 headset and it works just fine. Ps, that is the videogamiest headset name I've ever heard.

The headset works great with the adapter they made for it:

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Combo-Adapter/dp/B00IM36VU0

I'm sorry, but this sounding engineering is a new concept for me. How would I plug in my green cable (listening) and red cable (voice) into this device? I'll order it now, just need to know how to set it up first, unless I need to get a combo audio adapter like this?

then just plug it into the headphone jack and just disregard those 4 side plug ins?

https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Combo-Adapter/dp/B00IM36VU0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500716729&sr=8-1&keywords=Sennheiser+PCV05+Combo+Audio+Adapter+für+PC+Gaming+Headsets

That adapter works and has been reliable for years. I would avoid cheaply built no-name versions with thinner cables. I got a cheap one first and it broke in a short time probably due mechanical stress.

This is probably the official one: https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Combo-Adapter/dp/B00IM36VU0/

There are a lot of companies that make the same thing but for cheaper, many of which should also be fine, but the quality varies. StarTech is an OK brand, at least the one cable I bought from them, and they make one, available on Amazon for $6.39.

Technical details of what you need:

• Male TRRS 3.5mm connector on one end and dual female TRS 3.5mm connectors on the other end.
  
• Unfortunately, there are two standards for how these things can be wired, and the standards are called CTIA and OMTP. (See the 3rd diagram here.) But apparently CTIA is way more common these days (general required for Android phones), so that's probably what your cell phone needs.
  
  If you go digging around for other products, avoid cables that let you use two sets of headphones and also avoid cables meant for camcorders. They will look similar but won't work for your purposes.

Thanks again

https://www.amazon.ca/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Adapter-Headsets/dp/B00IM36VU0 ..would this one work straight to controller it says that Xbox one users need adapter but wondering if that would be for older controller

Around $50 or less, I could stretch it a little if the benefits are worth it.

Honestly I bought these Sony MDR-XB500 headphones for around $70 before finding this sub so I'm uncertain if they're good enough to warrant buying an amp?

If not then I found this Sennheiser adapter that I wish I saw before buying my last one.

That pc uses a combo jack so you could use and adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Combo-Adapter/dp/B00IM36VU0

This is my splitter:
Sennheiser PCV 05 Combo Audio Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IM36VU0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5DVHDbWVRC5K4

This is my mic:
Professional Grade Lavalier Lapel... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AG56HYQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The splitter is directly connect to the controller, while the headphones 3.5 jack goes into the green jack while the mic goes into the pink one.

I apologize for this part. I still have limited knowledge about parts. So, I initially connected the 4 pole jack of the mic into the plug, which did not worked. So I had to use the 4 pole to 3 pole adapter that was included in the mic set for the mic.

However, there is a feedback that could be heard during the mic test. This disappears when I touch the exposed metal parts between the splitter and pole adapter. But, it magnifies when I touch the exposed metal parts between the mic and the pole adapter.

I hope this makes some sense. I apologize for the wall text.

I got this mic https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R98JVVU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_an.EAbYV3Z1WV,
and this splitter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IM36VU0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_oo.EAbARCW2Y6
With this you can use any set of head phones and have a great mic without using usb to power anything. I personally pair these with a set of Sennheiser HD 650s and I'm never going back to"gaming headsets"

You need either a USB soundcard/DAC with microphone input, or you can use a 4-pole headphone/inline mic adapter such as this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IM36VU0/ref=psdc_2267280011_t3_B07DB35B4B

It should register as a pair of headphones with a mic even if you don't have something plugged into the female audio side. I think this solution should be better than most USB soundcards unless you're going to spend >$50 or so as the internal one is quite good.

Could be something wrong with the cable or plug. I use a Y adapter for my ATH-M50x headphones and an inline mic and it works perfectly on my DS4.

  The second thing is that the fiio e10 only has 1 slot for headphones but no mic, so my other question is, would an adapter such as this work? Sennheiser PCV .
  
  I'm open to more suggestions of headphones but I would like the mic installed attached to them.

On amazon the Game One's are about 150 dollars. The quality sounds good to me, but I've never had a soundboard or used a headphone with a separate mic combo, so I am not too sure about the difference there.

To be used on Xbox one, you'll need this:

The cheap version:

Audio splitter

Cheap Mic


Plug mic and headphones into splitter, then both into Xbox One controller.



Expensive(ish) version with better sound:

Audio splitter

ModMic

TurtleBeach DSS2(note I linked the headset because it's cheaper than buying the DSS2 separately)


Plug the Xbox One optical out into the DSS2 and the USB from the DSS2 into the Xbox One. Plug the mic into the splitter and the splitter into the controller. Plug the 3.5mm to 3.5mm extension cable (included w/ the DSS2) from the Headphone port on the splitter to the AUX port on the DSS2. Plug your headphones into the DSS. Go into Xbox One settings and turn your game volume down to 0 so that your controller only outputs chat audio, then switch your audio on your console to Dolby Digital optical out.

Basically what this does is sends the chat audio into the DSS2, then the DSS2 sends both the optical sound and the chat audio directly to your headphones. The DSS2 will give you higher quality audio (since it's not wireless) and virtual surround sound.

EDIT: I found a picture of what I'm talking about, but this is referencing the Astro Mixamp (the DSS2 does the same thing): picture

is this splitter fine

Might test a separate microphone jack alongside the sennheiser jack later when I get home. It's a long shot but do you think this would work?

Well I do have the adapter for the headset, so if I use that will the mic still work being plugged into the DAC?
