Hey all,

I've probably gone through over eight pairs of the basic Xbox Live headsets that come with the game and i'm tired of all the ineffectiveness. I am looking into getting a good one but not sure whether to pick from Tritton or Turtle Beach. Any recommendations on a good one? That's not too expensive

I personally don't own a headset (looking to buy), but Turtle Beach X11's are $50. And they're Turtle Beach, so they have to be good quality.

For a reasonable price, I'd say go with the Turtle Beach X11s. I own a pair and I love them. The build is durable and the sound quality is excellent. You won't want to listen to the sound from the TV anymore. Sometimes you can find them for under $40 if you look around on the net.

A $20 dollar headset is what I recommend of you. Cheap and gets the job done nothing more nothing less and you can find them at gamestop.

I got the x11s from amazon the other day. They are pretty nice. I can hear alot more sounds and stuff I didnt notice before. But that kinda hissing sounds or whatever in the background in them is really annoying but not really noticable unless your in complete silence.

Try to get the cheapest Trittons if you're not looking for too expensive, my friend had these they work pretty good from when I used them, just type in Trittons on the Bestbuy website and find the $70 ones.

I use the Astro A40's and they're decent. They lack in the bass department quite a lot but are otherwise good. I used to use the Tritton AX 720's and they were really nice apart from static noise you could hear when nothing is going on in the game. That and I would randomly be unable to hear my teammates or vice versa, and it takes a minute to fix. It's annoying when it happens frequently. The main thing I like about the Astros is the mixamp it comes with. You could pair any headphones to it and play xbox with them. Get some grados or sennheisers and you are above and beyond set, but that will run you a few hundred dollars. I recommend following what Truthful_Facade was saying with his budgets. AX 720's run about $120 I believe. Astros run $250.
