It doesn't. The virtual 7.1 only works on the PS3, doesn't even work on a PC.

It's back in stock at $99!

Yep, it's back! I just ordered one... The last time they had it, it went OOS fast!

it I bought them, I passed the last time and regretted it when they went OOS. Now I just gotta unload my AX 720s. Thanks for the heads up.

Mine arrived yesterday and I love 'em

Thanks for the info, just ordered some nice sennheisers instead.

Actually it looks like it does work. According to a post on giant bomb it will work on the computer as well you just have to activate it in the W7 settings. If best buy will price match, I will pick a pair up for a little a/b testing.

If I weren't already so happy with my first Sony Pulse, I would be getting this one. Battery life on my Pulse is around 7 hours or more, but I've read that battery life on the Pulse 2 is only around 4-5 hours or so.

Ah, well that is good to know. Sony says they dont work, but the last two pairs I ordered off of Amazon Warehouse have come busted so I havent had the chance to try them. I'm glad this came back around, I was getting tired of checking AWD for stock.

A little more info on this, it seems that it could be computer dependent and some computer sound boards support virtual 7.1 with any headphones. I may still pick up a pair to see how they perform on the vita.

Does Best Buy price match this? I have credit to burn.

Do these work on Xbox and Macs?

Yes XBOX through your TV audio out option but I am not sure if the 7.1 option works.

I can confirm my Sony Pulse headset battery kicks out about 4-5 hrs in, I believe it is the Bass Impact feature that eats the juice but I could be wrong. Love the headset though, cool that is works with many other things besides PS3, I use it to listen to music on my phone when I do yardwork or snow removal (doesn't use battery for those applications though).

i had the 1st set of sony's headset but those broke-(totally my fault not the headset)

should i go back to the old ones and get a similar set or try these new ones?

i still think the original are better ......the mic on the new headset picks up my breathing and there is no way to adjust it

I have both the new version and the old one. I haven't had much experience with the mic on the newer version, but the sound and functionality are improved on the Elite. Go with the newer version for sure unless the whole mic thing is really that bad. That's the first negative comment i've seen about the mic, so maybe he is just a heavy breather.

Thanks to whoever bumped this earlier. I was able to get the PM guarantee from Best Buy a couple of hours ago. Just in time, apparently.
