Ok, so I am planning on buying the Turtle Beach Ear Force x 31's but I want to make sure they are good. I do not really want to spend $200 on the x41's but if they are a lot better I would consider them. I was also considering the HPA2's. Does the 5.1 surround sound make that much of a difference from the enhanced stereo? I have always used the Xbox 360 headsets so I don't really know what to get. Please help if you can.

Hey there,
I have a ton of experience with TB headsets as well as the other brands, so I can help you.
The X31 is a great headset, excellent expanded stereo sound, wireless, packed with features. The X41 are Dolby 7.1 however, making them significantly better. They actually are the best sounding gaming headset on the market. Deep bass, crisp highs. If you can spend the money, you will not go wrong. However, by no means should you sleep on the X31s.
As for the HPA2, you would need a mixamp and the HPX version to use these with an Xbox 360. Unless you were attending competitions, I would stick to the X41 or X31 for in home use. The TB's also have features others do not like microphone monitoring, chat boost, etc:
