Gaming Headsets, PS3/XBOX/PC

[Simplicity]

Here, you give out advice on which headset to buy, hot deals on headsets, or ask any questions about gaming headsets.

MINE:

Tritton's ax 180s.
I love them! Had them for around a year and still love the sound the produce. They are cheap ($70) compared to Tritton's better models (720s and 720 pros). They can be used on all systems (PS3,PC,XBOX) and they are very easy to set up.
I strongly recommend them if you don't have enough dough for Tritton's 720 models.

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 had AX Pro those were comfortable for about 20 mins top till ur ears sweat and thing feels like a brick on ur head

I thought the same thing, bought them, couldn't be happier.

**** it, just bought a pair of PX5's used off ebay from someone with a perfect feedback rating and lots of sales. It was only $100. I'm nervous, but we'll see.

Yeah, fortunately eBay protects the buyer pretty well. Only reason I took a chance on it.

I don't like the idea of a gaming-only headset that connects to the 360 or PS3 via USB.

I've got a set of wireless Sennheisers that actually sit on an output from my receiver, so I can use them for gaming as well as watching TV and listening to music.

I bought some Turtle Beaches a while back for like $80. there were great, but cheaply made. the ear piece broke completely off.

though, I got them to play BF3, I could never find anyone to talk to ..I could hear people on my squad etc, but I don't think anyone ever heard me.

but, the sound of them was great. I'll probalby score another pair one day, but might not spend as much money.
