So i have turtle beache x32's. They're wireless with mixamp type thing that lets me hear things from my pc and my xbox one. Is there any way i would be able to do this with the logitech g430 gaming headset? Would i need to buy a mixer or what?

Thanks to anyone that answers!

nope. They have no inputs and being usb theres no way to add one.
I initially bought these too, not thinking, and the problem I ran into is when you want to switch to your systems speakers (I have some 100w'ers and wanted to crank the tunes while I built) ... you just can't. At least win7 can't. When you disconnect the usb audio it doesn't automatically switch whats playing to the next playback device. Since I do this kind of thing often, these got returned.

edit - just to be clear how these work, they have their own usb powered soundcard built into the headset. They are not digitizing and routing audio from your soundcard and transferring it over usb; which is why they have limited compatibility. They are another playback device just...

There is no way it can be hooked up to a mix amp or mixer than can let me hear sounds through my monitor and pc at the same time?

They are another playback device just like the hdmi audio thats built into your gpu.
