Looking at getting a set of headphones for xbone and PC. Its between xp400 and the 500x stealth. The 400 are about 100 cheaper, but will they work with xbone? The few Amazon reviews of the 500x aren't super, so not sure they are worth the extra.

The xp400 will work with the XB1. You will just need to get the stereo chat adapter to enable to chat on them!

That the 40 quid adapter ? Will the xp400 be 5.1 or stereo ?

No, not yet, my estimated delivery is for today. I am actually waiting on a DVD, I ordered from Amazon as well, and that was due Monday. Amazon are normally good with deliveries (normally get stuff 1 day before there own estimate), but the odd time they are late, so wouldn't be too worried.

Mine arrived this morning, delivery estimate was Monday

So based on that, I will probably see mine Friday then, and get my DVD today, as there estimates seem to be off by 2 days.

Let us know how well it works, when you get a chance.

Will do but wont be until tomorrow night (if i'm lucky) until I get a chance to use them though. One thing that is annoying is the cloth bit covering the inside of one of the headphones seems to be a bit loose (i.e too much fabric) as the other one is tight... other than that they look the business.

They are well worth the money in my opinion....love them the sound is great! I set my preset for COD to surround sound, footstep awareness, shooter & Super Human Hearing - works a treat!

Got mine, only had a quick look before work, but how did you set 3 presets at the same time, I have only been able to figure out how to do surround and shooter together.

They sound good, and the complaints I heard in regards to them not being loud, isn't something I noticed, as I didn't have them all the way up sometimes, and had to lower it back down for being too loud. Don't know, maybe some people over do the sound or something.

Will have to try some movies and music as well, as there are settings for those as well.

Make sure you update the firmware here and you can also amend the presets to what you want (each preset has four different types of sound settings).

I have no issue with the sound, max volume is way too loud. Some people must be really deaf!

Just checked it on lunch there and seen the options to change them, will try a few of them.

What are you confused about and i'll better explain it comes with 4 different sound options for various set ups i.e games, music, movies etc. But each set up, say games, can be then changed further using over twenty individual sound settings to a maximum of four of these settings per preset.

You can therefore if only gaming have a setting for say COD, Forza, Fifa and so on.

Guys looking for a bit of advice here. I've a set of tritton warheads sitting on the shelf at home and I'm going to sell them on. What would ye think would be a reasonable price to sell them for ?

€75 to buy in CeX. So if you can get any more than that, go for it! I'd use that as a marker if it was me.

I got the xo ones on amazon the other day. Worked out at around €35. The sound is ok for the price but the headset itself feels very plasticity.
I'd personally send the extra bit on the xo four.

The XO four does not have mic monitoring feature and a bass boost.

The XO fours are sturdier.
