Video Games Gaming Headseats

**SuperChief** · 04-02-2011, 06:59 PM

Sorry if this has been discussed earlier, but I couldn't find anything.

So I'm looking for a better gaming headset for my Xbox 360. I've been using the Turtle Beach Ear Force x31 set, but I've been reading around, and I think I might be able to come up with a better pair. What say you, Planet? Astro? Higher end Turtle Beach? Another brand?

Thanks in advance.

And by headseats, I mean headsets. ****.

I have Astro A40's and they are amazing when you get the Astro Mix Amp (for surround sound) and an optical cable. I don't think you can buy a more comfortable gaming headset, they are so light on your head that it doesn't even feel like you have a headset on but they aren't cheaply made either. I have tossed them around in rage on the couch next to me dozens of times and I have yet to break them.

If you want a cheaper surround sound headset you could go with one of the Tritton headsets but I heard they aren't very durable and that they feel heavy on your head and aren't that comfortable. Turtle Beach has some surround sound headsets too but I don't know much about them.

If you have the money to spend on Astro's I recommend them highly, I have had mine for two years and I couldn't say one bad thing about them.

Thanks for the info. I've been doing some research on the the new PX5 from Turtle Beach . . . sounds pretty legit from my understanding. Have you seen anything on this yet, KnowMo?

No sorry man. I haven't heard anything about them but I haven't been looking for a new headset recently either.

I just ordered the PX5 today. Hopefully I can get a brief review written up after using them for awhile. Thanks for your help, though!

It was my understanding that you never go that.

Trying to unload my PX5 for some cash mo'. Anyone interested? For what it's worth, they're INCREDIBLE.

Sorry man, just sold it to a relative. I hear good things about the x41s, though. True?

They're amazing, but I don't really have anything else to compare them to. Everything is relative, you know? For a blind man, getting 5/20 vision would be incredible but it would suck for someone who has always had 20/20.

Gotcha. I was juuuuuust about to jump into the Astro market there for awhile, but I couldn't steer away from Turtle Beach after my experiences with them. Great, great company.
