You dont Scott. As it says 100-240v its a voltage switching psu. 100 to 240 is the full range. The UK uses 240v.

Just like the PS3's psu.

sorry if this is a silly question

but what does psu mean? does the mv or amps not hav to be taken into account?? so all i would need is a plug for the usa plug to fit into uk plug? thanks for your help!! am just worried i spend my money only to blow the thing up!!

yup, all you need is the plug adapter. As long as it says 100-240V you are fine.

so it will be ok to plug straight in? anyone else doen this before? thanks

Yep, you'll be fine mate. I just used the PS3 as an example. The power supply unit in that say 100-240 so it accepts the full range. The xbox 360 on the other hand has 240v uk psu's, and 110v ones for USA/Japan.

Your headset is the same, a multi voltage switching psu.
