I was using the headset on my PC.There is one problem with the headset and the charging port. This headset is used, and I might not have all the components for Xbox and Playstation use. While that’s certainly a tight niche in which to launch a product, it’s one the Recon3D fills admirably, and as such is worthy of an Approved award.Item: 112508454510 Creative Sound Blaster Recon 3D and Omega Wireless Headset Bundle SPARES. At £90, it’s also considerably more expensive than current PCI-E sound cards such as the excellent Asus Xonar DX.įor gamers who play over multiple formats using headphones, though, the Recon3D is a great option. Those with fancy multi-speaker setups need look elsewhere, as the Recon3D doesn’t supplant a functional X-Fi or Xonar sound card.

These settings are then saved to the unit, so you’re able to use almost all these settings (the consoles handle voice-comms separately) from whatever audio source is plugged into the Recon 3D.Īs well as the expected audio controls and mute button, the Recon3D itself also holds an extra feature in the form of Scout Mode. There’s also support for Dolby Pro Logic surround sound decoding and further dynamic range controls, as well as microphone manipulation suite CrystalVoice, should you want to make yourself sound like Darth Vader, a Munchkin or an old geezer over voice comms. ![]() Click to enlarge - The new Recon3D control Panel (left) and the input switch allowing you to use a PC, Xbox 360 or PS3 with the Recon3D ![]()
