I leave my px5 amp on all day and connect all my wifi devices including my 360 with no problem.

When I first got it whenever I was receiving a text my signal jammed like idk wtheck ahaha.
But that doesnt happen anymore. I only get bad sound if I'm out of range.

Yeah.  That's a serious flaw in an otherwise excellent product.  I suspect that people who are unable to hardwire their consoles will end up returning the PX5.

I'm thinking the bandwidth required to send true 5.1 surround or emulated 7.1 surround is probably the cause.  It requires quite a bit of power to send 5 channels of audio through the air.

TurtleBeach should have opted for the 300Mb, 5MHz option.  I bet we see version II come out this way.

Edit: I had hoped resolving this would eliminate the problems I was having with R3.  Nope - turns out I just suck at it.

so im not alone? I can not turn on my XBOX and go online without my base station being off.
If i have it one B4 turning on my 360, it wont go online, took me like an hour figuring it out.
not much of a problem, just annoying as sh1t.  lol

Changed channel on the router to see if the problems would go away with the base station of the PX5 headset interfering with the network.  No go.  The room I set up for a game room wasn't hardwired for networking.

Dropped the max signal for the router to 54Mb and set the channel to auto.  This step was because "N" level 2.4MHz (up to 130Mb) actually "sits" on or reserves all of the bandwidth and channels.  No go.

Went in the attic and ran Cat 5 down to the room and connected everything to a Gb switch.  Problem solved.  Restored router to max 130Mb on 2.4MHz and 300Mb on 5Mhz.

I think the only bad mark I would give the PX5 is that there is no way to manually set the channel.  Other than that, it's incredible.

Yeah, I have a dual 2.4MHz/5.8MHz router, but the PS3 won't connect to the 5.8MHz and the headset is not adjustable.  I'm out slobbing on the boat for a few days.  When I get back I'm going to try manually setting the channels for the 2.4MHz channel of the router until I find one were everyone gets along.  I'm pretty certain that the headset uses a static wifi channel, just need to determine which one.

I went out and bought the hardwire cable and outlets.  Just waiting for it to get below 160F in the attic so I can make the run from my network interface.

if you are having problems its probably becaue the router and the headset reciever are too close to eachother.


I don't use the wireless Astro Mixamp, I use the Wired Version.

Aquaknot most likely has his Router beside his setup & uses a Ethernet cable for his PS3 so there's really not much he can do inless he switches of the Wireless from it or use a 5.8ghz Router to stop interfering with his PX5's & other wireless devices

like i said before, they make a difference. not a game changing difference. i still suck, lol. but you can really tell where gunfire is coming from, not just a general direction. and the minute ambient sounds that you never heard before add to the experience. but i'm not a dueler so i can't say if they improve your gameplay in duels or not.

I had to go to headphones so when my mother is over, she doesn't hear what some random 9 year old in a gaming lobby plans to do to her or describe what he thinks he did with her.

that's what I used to say. you hear so much more with headphones. i can only imagine what it would be like with a top of the line set.
i'll probably upgrade at Christmas.
