Guys, I need your opinions on Xbox 360 headsets

Alright, in the past month, I've been through 2 wired headsets. The black plantronics one and the regular X360 one. the regular X360 one decided to not work yesterday in the middle of the game. i swear it just stopped. The same with the Plantronics one. So i'm forced to use a small whtie earpiece wired mic(also made by plantronics i think) and it is HORRIBLE. no one can hear me on Live.

So my question to you is, what should i do? Do i want to spend $60 on a wireless mic, even though i've heard many of its perils? or should i invest on a turtlebeach headset? OR should i spend another $20, for like the 4th time in my gaming career, on another reg. 360 headset?

I would invest in a turtle beach which is a good quality low budget headset if your looking for something more ecpensive but higher quality you can check out the A40 Audio System (Amp + Headset) from Astro Gaming (www.astrogaming.com).

I have one and I swear by it!

well the thing is, in the summer I've been playin about 10+ hours A DAY o_O. and i heard the battery life runs like 6-7 hours. So i don't know if i want to recharge my mic like every day ykno?eddy5791

Wow, those astro headets look serious lol. But unfortunately, i'm not ready to plop down $200 for one. So I'm doing a little research and I'm thinking of buying the TurtleBeach Ear Force X1.

No, he meant that when you want to walk around the house you have to carry around the contoller.

Well guys, thank you very much for all the input.

But as of 10 minutes ago, i just ordered the TurtleBeach Ear Force X1 headset(man thats a mouthful lol) for a grand total of $63. That included the $15 tax and shipping. i read the reviews, and i was very impressed.

So once again, thank you, and if you wanna continue this thread, then be my guests :)

Your an idiot... M$ can send you mics for free for as long as you want....

I just traded most of them in for $5 at Gamestop or kept them for backups.

wireless are not good i had 1 it was a pain in the butt, wired ones are better and more reliable but they all brake because microsoft hasnt made anything quality since regular xbox

10+ hours is a lot dude. dont you have a job or something. i mean i love to play but can only get in maybe 3 or 4 hours a day and im only 16.

Yo what are you guys talking about, don't you have a life?

Im lucky enough to get in 30 mins and im almost 16

whatevr u do dont buy a skull candy mic, that is the worst headset u can buy....i learned that the hard way....if i were u i would just buy a reg. wired or wireless one, although the wired one can become a pain in the neck, because u get over excited from a headshot u got from across the room with no scope and u hop up, the mic might get unplugged.

horrible luck

I didnt want to say anything but those guys play alot. I can play a 2 hour or 3 hour session but that is once a week maybe. 10+ is way too much unless it is like -40 degrees outside but even then I would find something else to do.

lol i know, my playing hours are crazy. I'm 17 and I'm currently waiting on my dad to open his private doctor's office so i can be employed. And he's about 1 month away from doing that.

On top of that, it's summer and all i do is wake up at 2 pm, play till like 8pm, eat and watch some baseball, then get back on like at 10pm until 4 am. rinse and repeat

if there's one thing to balance out, it's that on school weekdays i can't play. so yea, just making up for lost ground here :P

Yeah your playing hours are insane. Its summer so go outside and chase some girls or something. But waking up late is ok. Video games are entertaining but in the end you dont learn anything and it keeps you locked inside which means your interaction with actual people is very limited. You will be surpised what the world has for you outside your house and video games have nothing on that. I like to play too but I only play on Sun, Mon, Tue nights because the rest of the days are for going out and party.

Good choice, I just went and picked those up the other day at Best Buy. The sound coming through them is really good, and they have a large amount of bass that actually sounds good. The bass can be a bit overpowering at times, but not so much that you wouldn't want to use them. I've enjoyed them so far. Plus, they are very good for gaming at night (which is the only time I use them) because you can have the volume up as much as you want and you won't disturb anyone else in the place.
