One of my biggest issues on gaming on multiple platforms would
be that most require a separate set of headphone for each, as most are not
compatible for different consoles. Compuexpert and XJacker may have come up
with a solution to the dilemma and that would be to make a kit that allows you
to use your PC gaming cans on your consoles with the 360 Kit and the PS3 Kit.
Along with the kits, we were sent the Soniq Rush Gaming Amplifier Kit, version
2.0, which enables gamers to take any standard PC headset and use it as an
amplified headset. Version 2.0 contains updated and enhanced circuitry from the
previous kit. Lets get to the point where we see how these kits compare.

I will start with the Soniq Rush 2.0, the kit that promises
to turn any standard PC headset into an amplified headset that will work on the
360 or PS3, depending on what your flavor is. I will give it to this little unit; it does pack quite a
punch and turns a good headset into a loud as hell pair of headphones, which
have volume and bass controls, at a price that less than I would have expected.
The good is that they work as advertised, and helps to allow for late night
gaming sessions that will not wake family of roommates. Unfortunately, with
this unit there were two issues in which I notice in my time spent with the
Soniq Rush’s, the first would be that there was a low hissing noise when there
is no volume, mostly during loading screens or in the 360 or PS3 menu and the
other issue in which I came across was that when I would touch it to change the
volume or bass level, the console sound would lower and I would get a local
radio station being broadcast through my headphones. Like I said though, the
price of 30 dollars isn’t too much if you already have a good set of headphones
for your PC and looking to use them on your console without having to purchase
another set.
