Hey guys, I was just looking for your opinion. I have a PS3, but I was thinking about getting the Turtle Beach X31s because at Best Buy they are being sold for $39.99. The P21s, however, cost $79.99. So if I get the X31s I am saving over $40 after taxes, and I am a little short on money now, (I only have $80 :?) but my parents are willing to loan me some money because of the taxes. Now, the downside. I can't go on chat. I am not usually on chat much since I don't play online in my other games (Sorry, I don't regularily play MW2 :P) Anyways, what are your thoughts on this? Are the X31s not even compatible with PS3 and am I totally wrong? Would I look like a noob with them? I need your feedback, guys! Thanks in advance :)

i have the P21 and i love that thing!!! yeah its wired but i never have to worry about it being charged. being able to control the game's sound, chat sound, and mute or unmute all on a little board that i can clip to anywhere!! plus games have sounded so good to me! just mute my tv and turn up the speakers as loud as i want! get the P21 there worth it.

The XLCs will not work on the PS3 they are a 360 headset. The P21's are good they have a good amount of adjustments for treble and bass. Though they start to bug me after 2 hours and I dont want to wear them anymore, also they feel very cheap and mine broke along with alot of other peoples from what I have read (if you get them get the warranty). I would suggest the Tritton AX 180s though because they are about the same price and are alot better quality wise and probably the most comfortable headset I have ever worn, even a 5 hour gaming session was not a problem.

Also the AX 180's work on PC, PS3, and 360 so you can use them for any purpose.

If you do not chat at all on the PS3, then you can get the wireless X31/X41 for listening to game audio, no problem. However, your best bet would be to wait a couple weeks for the release of the new PX21, you can use it on anything and it looks pretty sick. My cousin rocks the P21s and loves them so I can only imagine these are that much better:

They also got all the features like micmonitor and chat boost that the trittons don't have.
