Gaming headset

[Hex]

Whats peoples suggestions for a gaming headset for PC and XBOX?

Surround sound would be nice.

Looking around the £100 price mark.

Cheers peeps.

Turtlebeach X12's

Compatible with both...

Should be no more expensive than £50.

little bit of bodging required to get it working on xbox without shelling out for the audio cable (that you don't need)

That's if you want HDMI cable plugged in as you need the Component Cable for the X12's to work, so you select the Component channel and it will run of the HDMI though

That "Red/White Cable" you are on about is the "Audio Cable" I mention... Which doesn't come supplied with the X12s.


Did you buy that separate or did you get it with a bundle? Pretty sure I didn't get one with my Xbox when I bought it new.. Unless it did come with it and I've left it in the box as I never knew what it was for at the time... no idea


Found a link.. seems it's just the older xbox's that only came with the basic component cable, the newer ones were supplied with the Audio Cable

You plug the component cable scart leads into the red and white scart leads you get with the X12's which plug into the tele,
There is a cable coming from the red and white scarts in the tele that you then plug the audio jack into and the microphone jack goes into your controller of choice.

I have it set up a bit weird though, that audio lead I'm on about, I have down at the PC which I swap from the sound card into the audio cable if I want to use the headset on the xbox, but the USB is still powered from the PC rather than plugging into the xbox... Just means I can't really use the microphone on the headset which isn't a problem as I don't really play LIVE at the moment Easily unplugged and moved to the xbox though if needs be.

The cable from the scarts

Scarts etc with same cable as pictured above

The 3.5mm jack already plugged into the tele is actually plugged into my PC speakers Rather use headset on the PC and better speakers for the tele.

Give that PC a clean! haha

I don't even use mine on the xbox anymore, prefer normal headset so I can take my pad/mic with me & let everyone hear me having a piss.

[iMark]

That is clean.

You should of seen the shit I took out of the heat sink earlier in the week.... it's not causing any issues so it doesn't need dealt with.

Not for Xbox but I use Logitech G930s wireless and they're bad ass.

another vote for the x12. wasn't really sure then a mate came round with his. tried it out and was amazed. the sound quality is incredible for the price. around £40-45 in shops. or just pick one up from ebay for cheaps.

do like the look of hetzers choice, but doesn't appear to be xbox compatible (without delving in to research).
the x12 works fine for pc or xbox. plus has seperate audio feed for the game chat. where some of the cheaper ones dont so you'd get the game chat coming through mixed with normal game sound. which is pointless, like when you have it coming through your tv.

I only use a PC so can't say about consoles but I use a Plantronic 780 and really like it.

Comfortable and solidly built.

I bought a pair of cheap 4gamers headphones from Asda.
I also tried my mates Turtle Beach set and found no difference.
