Hi all,

 

I currently am using a pair of Steelseries Arctis 5 headphones that have a 3.5mm audio passthrough on the headset.  This allows me to plug into my Xbox controller and get sound from my Xbox as well as have the headset itself plugged into my PC.  This setup allows me to get audio from both my PC and my Xbox at the same time.  I do this so I can watch videos, use discord, etc on PC while playing with friends on Xbox.  The mic just went out in my headset, and I was looking for a new one, just to find out they discontinued this headset.  Are there any other options out there that would have the same feature of the audio passthrough?  I'm aware there are some wireless options, but I prefer wired as I never have to keep the headset charged.

If ya get a behringer ha400 + ma400 every single headset with a 3.5mm jack can do that suddenly. Dunno if the new ones still have the big jack to headphone jack asapters come with it if not thats an extra 3$.

 

But yeah get that and then any headset of choice. 

 

This feature on the arctis is more of a oops accidental feature than meant to be had the same on my ancient arctis 3 where it accepts 2 inputs. They removed that feature on the new ones.
