gaming headset suggestions (360 & PC)

Tea_Bag

Hey people in the know, i need a new set of headphones for the 360, but they must work with a PC too.

as little cabling as possible would be a plus.
surround sound would be awesome.
mic not essential, but would be handy for the PC.

budget in around the €100 mark.


any suggestions? any online etailers recommended?

Might pick these up tomorrow. One question though-Do they work with the HDMI on the xbox. I hear reports that they don't becuase there is not enough space for them to fit.

The workaround for this is to plug the green connector from the headphones into the audio out on the back of your tv. All cables are supplied with the headphones. I have them set up this way and they are awesome.

I'm debating getting these or the wireless X41's, the idea of the batteries for the X41 are putting me off.

anyone much about the difference in sound between the X11's and the X41's?

How do you find the X11's?

Reading reviews there seems to be a lot of moaning about hissing and the sound a bit brittle etc

These would be my recommendation.

They also make the normal wired headsets for Xbox.

I know budget is 100 euro but if I were u I would save a bit longer and pick up the triton ax pros I have them and they are amazing even for movies. There in gamestop but will set you back €190

i got the X11's off amazon after the suggestions. as you can tell, i havent replied to this thread, because COD is a completely different name. amazing. if they broke tomorrow, id order a new set as it happened.

With the X11's can you tell in what direction a footstep/bullet is coming from?

in battlefield you can but not in black ops (crappy sound quality)
