Gaming Headsets, PS3/XBOX/PC

[Simplicity]

Who cares? Updated version of the thread, then.

Heres what I got.

$100.00 made by sony for the PS3. Best part is that it is bluetooth. Never had any of the more expensive sets, but for the price and ease of use, I am pretty happy with these. They supposedly will work with your computer also.

What about non gaming headsets?

Any recommendations for surround sound headsets? Ideally compatible with 360/PS3/PC/whatevs. Was looking at the Turtle Beach XP500 or PX5 but I live in an apartment building and I've heard wireless interference can be a bitch.

Astro A40's and Tritton AX Pro's aren't wireless and they both are compatible with the PS3, XBOX, and PC.


I have Astro A40's and I ****ing love them. Have had them for three years and have had zero problems with them. They are comfortable as hell and they work extremely well for pinpointing enemies in any game.

They aren't "true" surround sound though because they only have two speakers, they are awesome for pinpointing enemies in front, behind, and to the left and right of you, but they can't tell you if they are above or below you (you can still hear when people are above you, but you don't know instantly that they are above you because the headset can only tell you front, back, left, and right)

The Tritton AX Pro's actually have "true" surround sound because they have 8 speakers but I have heard the mic breaks easily, they feel pretty heavy on your head, and aren't very comfortable. They are $100 cheaper than the A40's though.

I ended up going with an Astro Mixamp and a set of Sennheiser PC360s. Very happy with the setup.

Not sure what this had to do with anything so, okay?

Surround headsets... hmm... The Tritton ax 720s have Dolby Digital Surround Sound and it sounds fantastic.

and Guru. By non gaming headsets do you mean like "over the ear" music headsets?

Just anything. I use vmodas right now. I really want to find something I can go running with but not having to shove them way into my ears just to enjoy them.

These are so money for working out. They don't block off your ear canal like earbuds, they sound FANTASTIC, and they absolutely will not come out unless you yank on them with the force of 10000 men. They also don't completely block out ambient noise, which is useful for not getting run over while you run.

Try them now and thank me later.

Yep, you were right. Best earbuds I have tried yet and by far the most comfortable.

Well if you are shooting for very high quality over the ear headphones. I would probably go with "Beats by Dre". They look stylish, Amazing quality, and comfortable.
But the solos do break kinda easy.
