Xbox headset recommendation

search on the bay for turtle beach dss, theres a seller flogging new ones for 40 quid delivered

then grab a pair of turtle beach x11 from there too, the lot should come to 80-90 quid, and you will have a 5.1 surround experience for under 100 quid, and you can upgrade the headset to whatever headphones you like later, I said x11 as they have a mic built in that will work through the dss
ax720 is good, but the dss has very good sound quality, with good headphones its better than a mixamp, only drawback is no voice mixer so turtle beach headphones are better for a player who uses chat

I have Turtle Beach X12, got them online for about £40

Playing games is so much better with a good set of headphones, especially games like Battlefield 3 etc. Like playing it in the odeon haha

Thank you for both of those! I'll give them a looksy, then speak to the boss and see what she says!

Avoid the X31's (wireless), I have just sent back my pair because they interfered with my wireless network to the point where it was unusable. I spoke to the supplier who confirmed that there is a known issue and it's being addressed in the X32 model due for release soon. It looks like all the headsets are being updated so it might be worth holding fire for a while rather than buying a model that will be out of date straight away

Thanks for that Ricky. Haven't got a set yet so very useful!

This is actually very common among 2.4ghz wireless headsets, if you have a router nearby they normally do cause some kind of interference. 5.8ghz wireless headsets don't seem to have this problem. Astro A40s for example are 5.8ghz wireless, the new top end Tritton headsets that are on the way are also 5.8. I just bought the Sharkoon SR X-Tatic 5.1 headset it's wired but I don't mind a cable.

Its not just routers, its pretty much wireless anything. I had to put up with an annoying buzzing from the baby monitor for a while at nights
