Gaming headsets

So, my Tritton AX720s are dying a slow death and I want to replace/upgrade them.

Wouldn't mind trying a wireless headset this time, anyone got any recommendations? Or are wired ones generally better/more clear etc?

Not much of a budget really, don't mind splashing out if it's decent. I'll take a look at them links, cheers. Are Logitech wireless ones any good?

Edit: PS3&Xbox, should have said really, oops.

I got some Turtle Beach X41's in the end and they're excellent.

The only problem with them, and with many other wireless headsets, is that they can pick up interference from other wireless networks (for example, if someone is using a computer/laptop which uses a router in close proximity to the headset dock). Not really a big issue though, and sound quality is excellent.

I've never really understood the fascination with Turtle Beach, I've always found them pretty basic quality wise. Sennheisers are the best headsets money can buy for sound quality and Steelseries are the best you can buy for comfort. I use Steelseries Siberia V2's and I honestly forget I'm wearing them.

Must have missed that thread :eek: I usually have my MBP next to me when I'm playing, and the router is in my room too so hopefully there won't be much interference. Going to look for them x41's now, cheers! :cool:

Hmm this has changed my mind now lol. These look smart http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002TLT10S/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Not sure if these work with consoles though?

Seriously consider Steelseries mate, they are absolutely fantastic when it comes to gaming. Ask any gamer who owns a Steelseries product and they'll tell you.

They're the wireless ones that can be used for PC/360/PS3. If you're spending more than £100 on a set of headphones I would recommend you read all the reviews and then go from there. :)

If you don't have budget issues then get Astro A40's. I got a wired pair and they are awesome.

You can wear them for hours with no discomfort or fatigue and they sound pretty good too.

Personally I don't like wireless headphones. Mainly because I sit within cable range so there is no benefit but also the ones I've had in the past don't sound as good, tend to crackle or have a slight hiss and of course they have to be charged up.

Really want wireless tbh, the amount of cables in my room is insane! The only thing that worries me is interference as my router is quite close to the PS3 so I want to find a set that have little/no interference.

For those interested, Santa is bringing some TB XP500's.

Pretty epic spec, 7.1 surround sound and the all important - wireless.

:clap:

Bump for some advice, I'm not a huge huge gamer but I have recently got back into it and play my ps3 most nights for a few hours. I'm after a ps3 compatible headset thats as close to £50 as possible but the cheaper the better, any recommendations?

I think the X41's will be compatible but the voice chat will be disabled.

Logitech G35 supposed to be the bee's knee's and they've come down in price on OCUK - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-070-LG&groupid=702&catid=1058


I've recently bought a pair or PX21s from argos, were £70 now £40, I did have a pair before and thought they're were excellent before they literally exploded in to multiple seperate parts on my head, but looks like they're a revised pair so thought why not, they're cheaper and they're still really good for the price, excellent sound, nice deep punchy bass (Explosions sound awesome) and the virtual type surroundsound is really good.

Anyone rocking PX22's? The reviews I've read have been awesome but wondered if anyone had experience on here.

My X12's have bust and with the next games/consoles coming out will need some new ones.

How do you get on with the rounded ear bits? I've always found oval much more comfortable.
