What do you guys think? These headphones worth the price?

*on a side note, now that we are comparing astro a40's too aren't they only 5.1? Turtle is 7.1?

No.

Get the X11s. They have a tangle of wires but sound great and are only $50 on Amazon.com

Spend the extra 50 and grab a pair of Astros

Turtle Beach headsets are ok but they're nowhere near the quality you'll get with the A40's

The pictures or description do not say if it's wired or wireless. Is it wireless? The Astros A40 I mean.

You should buy them directly from the company and they're wired

I do not like wireless headsets

The 360 only does 5.1 so......

If you want the best sounding most comfortable headset then go with the Astros

The Mix Amp is what really seals the deal

HERE'S THEIR SITE, GO READ ABOUT THEM

Also buy from them, not a third party

Well I bought the x41's because I needed something to replace my blown receiver and to be able to play with out waking the kids/wife. I think they are great for the money and are very comfortable for long gaming periods. I like the fact that there is a extra jack so someone else can plug in any stereo headset and get 7.1/ 5.1 surround too (corded though of course). The batteries last about 15 hours which is not bad. I get a pack of 48 from costco for $11. I cant speak for the Astro but I hear good things about them too. I wanted the wireless though so I could get up and get a beer etc without having to take them off all the time. I like that you can also plug the voice chat cable into most cordless phones so You can still talk to ppl that call while still playing the game.
