Features
The Ear Force™ PX4 is a premium, Dolby surround sound headset designed for PS3™, PS4™ and Xbox360® gaming. To get the most from your PX4, please take a few minutes to review this introduction.
Dolby® Surround Sound
The PX4 transmitter processes Dolby Digital surround sound from your PS3™, PS4™ or Xbox360® and sends it to the headset via digital RF. The result is an immersive sound environment that makes you feel as if you’re right in the middle of the action. It also helps you react quicker by hearing exactly where the sound cues in the game are coming from.
Dual-Band Wi-Fi
The Ear Force PX4 headset provides wireless CD-quality game sound via dual-band digital RF (radio frequency) that communicates with the PX4 transmitter. This advanced dual-band Wi-Fi technology uses either 5GHz or 2.4GHz signals to transmit high fidelity digital audio and finds the optimum frequency to help eliminate interference with other wireless devices and Wi-Fi networks. Unlike the RF technology used in most other wireless headsets, the dual-band Wi-Fi technology found in the PX4 coexists with wireless networks for optimum performance.
Dual Pairing Bluetooth ®
The PX4 incorporates Bluetooth technology which can be used to simultaneously pair to two Bluetooth-enabled devices at once. For example, you can pair the PX4 to your PS3 and your mobile phone at the same time. This allows you to use your PX4 to accept phone calls all while totally immersed in the action of the game.
Rechargeable Battery
The PX4 also features a rechargeable lithium polymer battery that provides up to 15 hours of continuous game play on a single charge. The battery can also be recharged while gaming with the included charging cable so you’ll never miss out on the action.
Engineered for High-Quality Sound
The PX4 headset is engineered to deliver high-quality audio that makes it ideal for gaming, movies and digital music playback. The high-fidelity, 50mm speakers are encased in acoustically-tuned ear cups with soft fabric cushions and deliver extended bass with extraordinary dynamic range for optimum audio performance.

1Digital Input LED: This LED turns on when a digital input signal is detected. When this LED is ON, the analog input is turned off.
2Surround Sound LED: The LED will light whenever the digital input is being processed by the surround sound decoder. When this LED is off, the audio signal will be heard in stereo.
3Dolby® Digital LED: The LED will light whenever a Dolby Digital encoded signal is detected on the digital input.
4Power/Link LED: When the transmitter is powered on and communicating with the headset, this LED will be on solid. If the LED is slowly pulsing/off it indicates the transmitter can’t communicate with the headset. This could happen when the headset is out of range, turned off or not paired with the transmitter.(see pg 30)
5Digital Input and Output: The Digital In is used to connect your PX4 to a Xbox360/PS3/PS4 for audio. The Digital Out can be used to pass through audio to a home theater system.
6Analog Input Jack: Provides a 3.5mm input for digital music players or additional audio sources. (3.5mm cable sold separately) NOTE: The analog input is deactivated whenever a digital input is active, so both the digital and analog inputs cannot be used at the same time.

8Surround Sound Angles Button: Press to select different HRTF surround angles. (see pg. 24)
9Surround Sound On/Off Button: Pressing this button toggles between surround sound and stereo sound. When surround sound is active, the Surround Sound LED will be lit.
Transmitter Range
The transmitter sends game audio from your Xbox 360® console to the headset via digital radio frequency (RF) signal, so a direct line of sight is not required. When you’re out
of range, you may hear popping or clicking sounds if the headset loses the RF signal. For best performance, place the transmitter in an open area that is unobstructed by objects that might absorb RF signals from the internal antenna. Avoid placing it on a metal surface, such as the top of a home theater A/V receiver.
