Cheers I think I will get the set from amazon, are they any better than what I have ?
Sound wise

I can't say as I've not personally used the Fox Trot. The XO Fours are meant to be good tho. The lack of wires is what appeals most to me about them. No wires apart from the wire connecting to the controller and no batteries neither.

My friend went from the 7.1 XP500's which were €250 back in the day to using the XO Fours and he say the sound just as good so I'm going on his word and the reviews on Amazon.co.uk

Delivery is £10? There's an option for super saver delivery bud. Should select that, no need for parcel motel at all. €73.96 in total including delivery to your Irish address...

You can still cancel and resubmit order as Amazon don't charge your card until it's been dispatched if you want.

Last time I selected super saver it signed me up to amazon prime
£89 out of the bank for a couple of days
Parcel motel is only €4, not much

No, you don't have to sign up to Amazon Prime for super saver delivery. That's another option to get free 1 day delivery is that Prime.

Super saver delivery has been on it forever and any items that offer it you get free delivery to Ireland for orders over €25 or so.

Just for future reference if you cba changing it now

firestarter51 · 31-07-2014 10:19pm

Ah yeah I see it now
Super saver 4-5 day delivery
I selected standard
Ah well two days to parcel motel and a day to me here
Looking forward to trying them
Need to find a new home for my old set now, put them on adverts but no one is interested, strange as they are spotless

Just to add to the thread:

I bought the Tritton Kama in Argos for €65.49. Have to say, i like them alot. Quite comfortable and light, sound is pretty good for stereo, and they are a decent price. They come with the adapter as usual for Xbox one headsets, also come with a USB cable, presumably for charging the controller, or perhaps your windows phone if one was inclined. Overall so far i'd recommend, although i have no "premium" headset to test against, so that might dock points for some.

The USB cable is for connecting the controller to the One to update it, when the adaptor first came out the the controller needed an update, if you haven't done that you should, it's in system - settings I think.

Does the one version have the in line controls the PS4 version has? Probably not given the adaptor has those I guess, and they are easier to reach on the one's adaptor.

Edit: Also the Kama seem expensive vs the 32.99 for the PS4 version, though I guess allowing for the adaptor that costs 25 - 29.99 on it's own adds up to what the One version costs.

Anyone have experience with the tritton kunai?

Not the inline controls no, but only one cable which is nice. I quite like th idea for the adaptor, and it's not too intrusive, however i still believe MS shafted everyone with their choices peripheral wise.

My main issue with the headsets and adaptor is that it can be difficult to gauge the levels with the buttons , an on screen indicator like PS4 has would be welcome.

Actually a great idea, i haven't much experience with the PS4 (something i hope to rectify after i have paid for my house in a few weeks) but an on screen indicator would solve a lot of problems.

Just got this from GameStop
Seems alright for a bricks and mortar price

Good stuff bud, glad you like them

Is there an extension you can get for XBox 360 Headset to work on the XBox One?
Would love to keep my X11s, never had a problem with them.

X11 and X12's work on Xbox One with the chat adapter. I am currently using the x12s

Really? I wasn't sure, what threw me off was the component red and white cables but I suppose you can still use them as normal and then just get a chat adapter for the ONE controller is that how it works?

The red and white go into the back of the TV while the chat runs from the adapter to the headset.

If you don't have a TV with the red and white stero audio input use the adapter below.

In my case I feed the red and white into this and then plug it into the earphones port of your TV.

I just bought wireless Bluetooth headphones, can I link them with the Xbox One?

Or is it a waste?

Lord TSC · 09-09-2014 4:40pm

Hmm...my XO7s seem to have stopped working 7 weeks after I got them

I have to twiddle the connection to get anything but its getting worse to the point of basically not working at all. Very angry given the price. Anything I can do?

Refund, exchange for another pair.

Who's the retailer?

Lord TSC · 09-09-2014 10:00pm

Argos.

I would imagine it would fall well outside their remit at this stage.

You should have at least a year if not two dealing with the retailer, beyond that the manufacturer.

Just dug out the Argos receipt and it says "Exempt from 30 Day Guarantee". And the date I got them was 15/07/14. Would worry if I bring them to Argos, they will say I broke them and that it's been too long to consider a return...
