Just ordered Turtle Beach X1's

Tbh I hear footsteps pretty well just through the TV. Anyway, when you say 'wireless', is the standard headset that plugs into the controller considered wireless, or do you actually mean non-wireless TBs have a wire going all the way to the console?

Yeah but there's surround sound in the headset, if you crank it all the way up on Search you can hear if people are going to defuse the bomb and such. Yep, x3s are wireless TBs but they swallow batteries..

Turtle Beach X1's and X3's are good for casual gaming in public games.
Astro's, Turtle Beach X4's and Trittons are for pro gaming like LAN events and such. Some people feel the need to buy them for Gamebattles and such. I'm getting some Astro's soon because I need a wireless headset and I'd rather get the best of the best because I'm very competitive even though I'd only play ProMod on CoD4.

As long as they plug into the controller like the standard headsets, it will be fine and I only play FFA really so it should be fun .

It plugs into the back of your TV then into your headset for the chat lead.

Ok, thanks for all the comments and help. Just wanted to update you: I ordered the Turtle Beach X1's on Tuesday night from http://dobble.co.uk and they arrived this morning (Thursday), so they did actually keep to their next day delivery. Here is a pic, can't wait to test them out!

My brother's came today as well . I haven't had a chance to try them out properly though, he's still playing .

Mine are now broke, ******* pieces of ****. I think it's the chat lead, whenever it's in it's making a noise and I'm unable to speak. Their chat leads are ******* terrible. Paul's have broke, so has Paul's cousins and now mine. x1s are ****, you get what you pay for - the cheapest tbs ever.

So far so good with mine. My mates are impressed and so am I. No complaints.

Ours are OK so far too. Knowing my brother though they won't last long :rolleyes:.

I also thought my mic wasn't working, but in the settings I had it set on Mute so I couldn't talk even though the Mute button itself was flicked to Off.

I know what you mean about the buzzing noise though. I generally have never used a mic so when it gets too annoying I just disconnect it because you only hear it while the lead is connected to the controller. I tend to only see one or two people with mics anyway during games.

I think the headphones are awesome though. I've heard sounds in the game that I never heard through the TV. Simple things like the flies buzzing around bins or the crackling of fire . Everything is just so much clearer.
