I have a turtle beach x1. But it stopped working, gotta buy a new puck, $12 not that much but whatever. But I dunno, I really wanna just get a wireless headset instead. I know turtle beaches are top of the line, but I dont like having the bulky thing on my head, plus I like to listen to music off my computer at night while Im playing and with the TB I gotta put the music quite loud to be able to hear it. So should I just get the puck or buy a wireless headset? By the way, I have no intentions of getting into a serious clan on any games.

I went wireless and it's good, it has a decent battery life and volume is decent on it.

I went wireless and it's good, it has a decent battery life and volume is decent on it.I agree, they charge by USB so I just plug the USB into my computer which is nearly always on so it's fully charged most the time. The sound quality is better than the standard headsets and they're pretty small and lightweight so listening to others or listening to music at the same time is very easy.

They're surprisingly robust as well, on the rare occasion I do get angry I have thrown it as hard as I could across the room and there's not a scratch on it :P

The official wireless headsets, just don't pull the rubber thing over the mic stem, I just caused two cracks down the front of the mic, but it still works.

I'd stick with the TB's and just play music through the Xbox. They are x10 better than any other headset out there. Plus the wireless headset will cost you $50 while the puck will cost you $12. Im buying a pair of A40's soon enough but I have a few sponsors for my YouTube page and that's probably the only reason.

Your wanting the game sound from the headset and dashboard music from the TV?

I dunno what you just said jameseh.
But I sent an email to TB complaining and they asked for my full name, shipping address, etc. So Ill wait and see if they send me what I need, or maybe even a new headset :o. Who knows.

Wireless ones are good, but also terrible at the same times, they randomly stop syncing, I went through 4 of them, they're terrible.
