Gaming headsets for 360

dirtybeatfreak · 2 Feb 2010 at 19:14

Hi all,

Due to recent problems with my hearing I'm looking for a decent set of gaming headphones which are compatible with the 360. I know of the Turtlebeach ones (have the x31's in mind) and will probably get these but are there any others on the market which are good quality which I should be looking at also?? I don't mind too much about the cost but if there are cheaper ones with simular quality then that can only be a good thing.

Thanks in advance

Is it advisable to wear headphones if you have hearing problems ?
I'd fire it through my House system & get a pair of Decent monitor speakers, O wait I have. :cool:

It's just temporary (for how long im not sure, but i been assured it is) but normally my hearing is still not the best anyway. Id just like to be able to hear the sound properly again lol. I do have moniter speakers aswell but I only use them on a midi controller which wont link up with my xbox

Well for starters, most pro's use Astro A40's.

Get the astro set up or a nice pair of headphones and an astro mixamp.

Ive got the mixamp and some turtle beach headphones connected to it. It was expensive but its awesome and you don't annoy the neighbours

Turtle beach x4 are really nice, been using and loving them a while now.

This. I wouldn't trade away my Astro set up if you paid me.

There was a thread not long ago with some good info on your options. Have a look here.

I've been using a set of x41 since Christmas and really like them, not cheap but ideal if you prefer wireless.

X41's here too. Got them as a present for Christmas and I have to say, I really enjoy using them. I can hear so much with them now. I even use them when watching DVD's through my Xbox and my DVD player. The fact that the Xbox voice chat comes through separately is a big plus for me
