i thought you lads where all mad buying these headphones when i seen them in game yesterday . 200 quid they where going for . are they having a laugh or what ?
how did you manage to get them at 90 in Game . they sound pretty savage and im itchin to get a pair

The px21's are roughly 90 euro0 -

To be quite honest up to about 3.30pm yesterday I thought the same..:D the minute you slap em on it's unreal....( and I'm still getting used to them TBH.. i.e when someone fires a Barrett 50.cal even from the otherside of the map, it's so loud you think he's standing beside you, still frightens the fook out of me at times..:D).. I'm now starting to realise how many times I was caught out by these feckers, walking into to buildings only for you to meet your opponent looking ADS ready to blow you to smitherns....:).. I'll never again willingly go into a game without Ninja Pro, (when I prestige next I'll be a nervous wreck till level 29...:D)...
Another thing that pushed me towards the PX21's is that they DO work with both PS3 & Xbox 360....I have a PS3 and a Xbox Elite (that HDMI AV cable came with the Xbox, I got mine shortly after launch so must have been standard then, pity
) I could never justify buying 2 sets of TB's and didn't want to have 1 console with headsets and the other without....SIMPLES..;)
As for the €90 price, thats what they're retailing for...
the €200+ are the upper market of TB headsets, without having used them i'm sure the quality and build,etc..are I presume better....but AFAIK, the PX21 are the only ones to do both consoles .... as i said in my earlier post (if you can afford them) get em they're well worth it.... and i'm sure (let google be your friend..;) ) there are cheaper TB (or other brands) headsets which are just PS3 or Xbox specific.. 0 -

any shops around dublin selling them or do i have to go online ? the only time i saw the turtle beach's was in blanchardstown shopping centre and that was the 200 quid ones so rather not buy them if i can get a decent set for 90 . actually 90 quid is pretty pricy but ive heard descriptions of people tracking tactical insertions using them so its a must have really
ps what about xbox and pc ??????0 -

The PX21's are a new release, so if you check Blanchardstown again they might have them, if not i'm sure they'll order them for you.
Yes i'll agree with you, €90 is a bit pricey but, as I said ,if you can afford them they're worth every penny.
As for the tactical insertion "tracking" ,these sounds ,along with footsteps etc.etc. are part of the game sounds. you can track them without headsets(don't want you thinking you can only hear these sounds with a headset).it's just obviously that using the headset lets you hear these without waking the whole neighborhood.:D
I'm really getting used to it now, after having them 3 days....heard some fella, who was a bit behind me, quite clearly reloading today even though he had Ninja pro he hadn't a chance....:D0 -

Firstly: any luck today?
Now for an update. Disaster struck today.:mad: when I put on my headphones today I noticed that the left earpieces?? volume was lower than the right...balance seemed wrong.. thought it was me at first..(could have been going deaf in the left ear..:D) but after about 10 mins it gave up totally..:eek: only sound from the right... checked all the cables, plugged em in and out umpteen times,no luck..
Emailed TB support and they told me to get a replacement pair at P.O.P. so will have to do without for to-night. Could have been alot worse, had they asked me to send em to them.
Problem is the Amplifier clip was broke since first day, not my fault (seriously clip seems a little flimsy to me). Was just unclipping it from my pants pocket and whatever happened, end result was it snapped....hope this won't be a problem tomorrow.. 0 -

oh did you have the problem with the regular xbox? is there a HDMI output with them now?
either way, didn't mean to rub it in, sorry but like I say, I'd give them a go with the AV splitter cable shammy linked to, didn't even know they existed when I got mine. 0 -

i thought they where always made like that ? i mean i bought the actual cable seperately but it was always built into the box itself . it manages both audio and visual hd ouput directly from the xbox to the tv . but since the turtle beachs go straight into the xbox u need a seperate hd audio out/input
otherwise it just works as a really expensive headset0 -
