PS Engineering does not conform to the world standard for stereo plugs and jacks polarity, which is the tip of the plug is left channel, ring is right, and the shell is ground. They have left and right reversed. For external entertainment devices, this puts violins on the right and cellos left for CDs, causing severe spatial disorientation, or ping-pong balls moving opposite the sound the voice-over's description. (This hints at how old I am.) This is almost as bad as shooting a backcourse approach.
If it does matter to you, I suggest putting the left entertainment input on the ring, right on the tip (opposite convention), so it plays into the headphones correctly. Lacking any external input, you'd never notice the convention reversal in your headsets.
I spoke with a PSE tech this a.m. All he kept claiming is they were the first to offer stereo years ago. This only means they have the trophy for first to get it wrong.
