$100 dollars for a piece of equipment that goes over your ears so you can have an extra advantage over people in COD4 and 5 is ridicolous. (dont carebout spelling)

Are these people kidding me?

This one kid thinks he's the "big man on campus" because he can hear every single footstep on shipment or dome.

Not everyone can afford high priced equipment like that, and also if they buy it just to be good in Call of Duty they need totake counceling.

Your Opinion?

He must be deaf by now then. Its not an advantage, its an expansion on the "Experience" just get a 5.1 Stereo system and you can do it just as good.

you sound ridiculous. Any surround sound system gives you an advantage in games. When my reciever crapped out it was a choice between a $200 headset (the x4), or a $200 surround sound, I grabbed the headset because its like having a movie theatre on your head. maybe you should save some money and get a surround sound or a nice headset

I have the x4s. They are good for anygame, not just multiplayer games. I could here people's footsteps without them, but everything sounds way better with the headphones.

I have Astro A40's and use them when nobody wants to hear me gaming or if someone is studying or something. I love them and they are great.

They're worth it. And you can use them to listen to music, as well. (I use Senneheiser 555's.) Just sounds to me you don't have money like that to spare.

They are a waste of money.. a 5.1 or 7.1 set up is better then any pair of headphones.

Pretty judgemental for people who have never used them. First off, i paid $50 for mine. They are very comfortable and provide great sound quality. I didn't buy mine so i could have an advantage in cod, i bought it because i wanted to here the game sound in my headset because its much more immersive. You should really learn to try things before you call people out on them

A good surround sound system could be $1000... Surround sound headphones are just as good for $200... Besides, you have to wear the microsoft headset in this case, therefore covering one ear and making your surround sound system worthless

What are you talking about? It doesn't completely cover your ear and unless you are deaf you can still hear out it. If you seriously think that will make a surround sound setup worthless you have no idea what you are talking about.

I dont have any but I have surround sound, and I could care less what they do with THEIR money, besides they still have to be able to shoot.

Some people use them because they live with others and that way they dont disturb people when they are gaming.

honestly, I don't think they give you an advantage. I have the X1 TurtleBeach headset, and when i first bought it, I wanted to test it out on shipment. I asked my friend to move in several directions, and the footsteps i would hear in my headset would not correspond to his movements. I must admit that I was disapointed in that small feature because back then i was big on 1v1 gaming on shipment. But it's a real good buy though. I just use them to watch my netflix movies now lol

Not true at all. I can make out the movements based on the sound. As for the X1's being not that good, the only major difference is that the X3's are wireless. The sound quality isn't that much of a difference which is why i prefer the X1's.

I love how it's other people who need counseling because they buy nice headphones. I would think the people who need counseling are people who whine on an internet forum because they don't have the money for them.

its not only to have a advantage but some people want to listen to their tv loud but some people play with other people who they may not want to disturb. also they may not have a surround sound system and that may be as close as they can get.

It's not for the sole purpose of having an advantage. It's just for better sound quality, no disruption if something is making noise in the house, etc...

No need to get so butthurt about it.
