Do these work with a video game console? Does anyone know if these work with a videogame console? Specifically, I'm interested if they work with a HDTV that's connected by HDMI to a PS3, but info about other consoles and other TVs would be helpful too.Thanks!

I have a PS3 that is connected to my TV with HDMI. The TV outputs audio to the transmitter of these headphones, and I can hear them.Quality of sound isn't perfect, but it works fine for late night gaming. If your TV has 3.5mm output, or RCA output (white and red connections), then you're good to go.Remember, even when using hdmi, the PS3 can output via toslink or the old school PS2 connector thing.

They don't "work" with much of anything. As long as the TV or PS3 has either a headphone jack or stereo output you can connect this, but again, these headphones are a waste of money.

THey are not HDMI compatible. You'd need an audio HDMI converter to hook them up to your TV.

Mine didn't work at all. I bought it to hook together multiple legacy game systems to a TV with one component set of inputs.

Both of my minis worked right out of the box. One thing to consider, though - and I'll confess this hadn't occurred to me until my first install - is that the audio is transmitted on the HDMI cable.... so if you don't have an HDMI port on your TV (mine didn't), then an HDMI-to-other-video adaptor isn't sufficient - you get picture but no sound. In my case, I had to pick up an HDMI-VGA converter with separate audio out, and run that audio into the TV audio in... then I was good. On my *next* install, TV with HDMI - plugged right in and worked immediately, no problems. Maybe you're in a similar situation... good luck! Both of my minis worked right out of the box.

Hi missy, your DIRECTV Receiver SHOULD have an HDMI output. If indeed it's an HD Receiver. Just connect it straight to one of your HDMI Inputs on your display. What model do you have? H20, HR21? For your onkyo, you should connect your DIRECTV straight to your surround system, using an optical or digital coaxial cable. PS3? I don' t know much about game consoles. I'll ask my brother who knows more about this than I do, and get back to you.

You'd need some sort of adapter. These are not designed for connection to HDMI.

I believe they work on all the devices. I have never looked at them to see if they said Wii,xbox etc. That being said I have never bought one that didn't work on our device and we have quite a few characters. You would think if I weren't looking I would mess up at least once and buy the wrong one.

You know, i havent tried to connect them to my PS3. If I can remember to do so, ill test it and get back with you here.

I know this is an old post but, Most newer TVs have HDMI control. I have a Sony LCD 46VE5 and I set my Logitech to control the playstation using the tv remote functions instead of buying the adapter. You don't have total control over the PS3 but it allows you to scroll/pause/play etc.

I have used this on an older Sony Trinitron and a Mitsubishi 55" WS-65413, to connect HDMI output devices to their Component inputs. It worked for 2 DVD players, and a direcTV box with no problems (both Audio and Video). It would work on an XBOX 360 as long as you never switched it to the other DVD input. If you changed the switch to the other hdmi input, the XBOX would turn off its video output, and would have to be restarted after you switched it back to the xbox from the dvd player. I got an xbox one for the boys for Christmas and cannot get the xbox one to work with it at all. I suspect its related to HDMI copyright protection, but I am just guessing.

Thanks Jacob. That was the conclusion I came to as well after spending several hours researching. The standard cables that came with the Wii will not work correctly on the TV. I ordered the cable from monoprice.com for less than $3 so hopefully they will work fine.Again, thanks and happy holidays!

Headphones works with any device with a direct stereo output..does your PS3 have a headphone output? I can't recall as I've sold my PS3...I route all sounds & visual direct out from the HDMI port to my HD TV directly....hope it answers your question.

Does your TV not have Component inputs? It would be a truly odd HDTV if it didn't have both HDMI and Component. If your Component input is tied up, you're better off getting a receiver or switch box to share the existing Component input. This cable WILL NOT WORK with the Xbox 360.

Do you have HD cables for those systems? Because if you don't then it's going to look just about the same. No TV will magically turn a garbage picture with old hookups into High-Definition. I did a quick search and I'm not even sure if HD cables are available for SNES. Good luck though.

Yes, they work very well with the ps4.*For full PS4™ compatibility you will need to PS4™ System Software Update 1.50 and have stereo output connection from TV or audio receiver for game audio.

Yeah, I ended up buying component cables for my consoles. The only problem is the game cube is now B&W; since I plugged it's video cable in the first component input. Not an issue, I can use the Wii to play them if needed...Thanks for the reply!

Does the PS4 have Audio/video component cables (red/white/yellow; or blue/red/green/white/red)? Does your TV have an audio output or an auxiliary 3.5mm input? As long as a system has any of those it IS compatible. Me has no clue, have not researched the PS4, system, but I do believe that it only supports HDMI. Look for any inputs labeled "output" and report back =^)
