I was listening to the 1UP podcast last night and they just seemed to complain about Spec ops. But isn't spec ops infinity wards version of Zombies? o.o

No from the info I have seen, it's a series of missions like "Mile High club".

Yer

But I just mean as a slight add-on to the game rather than fully fledge co-op which people are expecting.

I want those headphones.

Think of how few games would demand a thread for just a pic of a menu for a minor game mode

I have those headphones and the mixamp,
Not very good.

The mixamp with a Turtle beach HPX I also have and it's better and a tad cheaper

.

Also,
there will be no co op campaign of any kind other than the Spec Ops missions which they have supposingly put a LOT of time into.

Can't agree with that at all, my pair have been superb compared to any of the TB sets I've had.

Not cheap I'll agree, have a read the reviews and the praise they receive though.

I was more than happy with them.

Only thing I'd change would be for them to be wireless.

Can I use them as normal headphones?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, you get a cable that will let you plug them into any 3.5mm jack, as well as one that lets you plug it into the amp. The amp is well worth it though.

I am after new headphones, not just for gaming but for also general music usage, and if I was to invest that amount I would want to use them for everything.

I use mine with the Xbox and PC, for all uses, but I'm far from an audiophile.

I'm more than happy with using them for listening to music or watching a film, and can't say that the sound is anything but great.

Might be worth reading through some of the reviews and see if they're right for the purpose you want.

Guess you haven't had the HPX + Astro a40 mixamp then? lol.
HPX is a PC headset hence why it needs the A40 mixamp.

I've had basically every gaming headset out there and this is the best

Would be better off with a decent pair of Sennheiser's (HD555/595) or Goldring DR150's however the issue is these won't allow you to get any form of surround sound from the 360 unless you already have an amp. Otherwise you have to stick to stereo.

BTW if those A40's are 5.1 then I would stay well clear...the only form of surround sound that actually works in headphones is when Dolby Headphone is being utilized on a pair of decent stereo headphones.

I've used 2 'surround sound' headsets before, the sound quality was pap and the surround sound effect was pretty poor.

With my 595's in Dolby Headphone mode I can very clearly tell what is going on behind, in front and to the side of me. It's pretty sweet technology.
