Gaming Headphones - XB360?

[Scutch]

Anyone have any decent recommendations?

Could do with them being wireless. Not too fussed about the mic as I can sort that myself, but just want a nice set of headphones for gaming, so sound and fit quality should be priority.

Budget, as it's a Christmas present off the missus, will around £50 - £70 ish (although when I tell her this she'll probably go mental).

Cheers guys.

YES! At last, lol.

Turtle Beach X41.

If you can strech to it get the DSS addon.

7.1 surround sound.

DSS addon? Is that a 12x scope?

 

[AK]

Also buy a rechargable battery set, lol.

As a "complete" gaming headset experience then you cant go wrong with Astro's, I have the A40 system which is superb and I have had it since MW2 and it hasn't put a foot wrong.

It isn't wireless but my experience of wireless headsets isn't good as the batteries need changing all the time.

Saying that, Astro do a wireless range now but I cant comment on what they are like.

Not sure how good they are though.

 

[Scutch]

I would want wireless as I sit away from the 360 and I'm not having wires trailing around. Charging the batteries is fine.

Bloody hell, good deal, but headphones aren't half expensive.

 

[AK]

Never noticed their RRP, LOL!

 

[Nashy]

I've just bought some turtle beach from game not sure of the model but they were mw3 limited edition thing. I think they are amazing! Mind you it's the first pair I've ever owned/tried.


Edit* just seen you want wireless these are not my bad.

I don't think I'll get a better deal than this TBH, especially with the price reduction. The missus has given the go-ahead to order if I want, too.

Can't wait to hear your voice.
I bet it's well pretty .

PMSL at ear force.

Head wobbles like M.Ali ftw.

Hit me up with some alternatives for the same price, Sir Walter.

 

[LIL B]

X31 would do the job, cheaper too.

 

[AK]

What's up with the ear force?

 

[Toby]

X31's? http://www.limexb360.co.uk/product/Turtle_Beach_EarForce_X31_XBOX360_Wireless_Gaming_Headset_TBEFX31

[Scutch]

X31's look decent enough. Excellent. Will probably go for those over the PX3's.

What about these as an option?

I've got the wired ones of those.

I've not used 41's but my 31's are brilliant.

They are a little heavier than my x1's but can't fault them for all round performance.

Get some rechargeables with long life straight in there and they will serve you well.

 

[AK]

Get the DSS add on for the X41.

 

[Scutch]

^ Cheers mate. Good stuff.

AK, what's the DSS add-on? Can I get it for the X31 too?

[Scutch]

Ahh cool. So they will work with X31's, too.

Hmm. Neato.

[Scutch]

Tidy. So, without meaning to sound like an idiot, what benefit do these give over the stock headphones, which I would presume would be perfect sound quality, anyway?

 

[Toby]

Personally I'd just rock them as they are.

Couldn't justify the 40 quid.

 

[AK]

Just leave it, actually.

[.Adam.]

I'm still rocking the standard 360 set. Am I missing out?

 

[Scutch]

I think I'll just go for the X31's for the price. Add to that I don't have a home cinema system anyway (sold my setup earlier in the year).

Sorted. Cheers chaps.

 

[Clart]

I'd be paying extra and going for some 5.1s personally

 

[fossie]

Ive got a set of X31's, pretty good tbh - as said above tho get some rechargeable batteries

 

[Bodge!]

X41's

Scutch, if there's a Best Buy head there, they've got a fire sale on...........

 

[Scutch]

Going for the X41's now

 

[DannyR]

Got x41s from Tesco for £90

They're on Shopto for cheaper than that, but both stores are currently out of stock.

Will phone them tomorrow to ask when they're back in.

 

[DannyR]

I bought about two months ago, and Tesco were cheapest at time!

Certainly recommended then?

Am I right in thinking they have their own surround sound system, so you don't need a home cinema to benefit from them?
