From what I can see there are 3 "all-in-1" headphones with headset solutions for the xbox360.

Turtle Beach Ear Force X3 (infrared wireless, stereo, not sold here)

Sharkoon X-Tactic 5.1 (wired, 5.1, not sold here)

Titton AX360 (wired, 5.1, 3 to 4 times the price they are in the US)


Am I missing any that people know of ... and has anyone ever order these from Overseas / had good or bad experiences with them ?

I just use the official wireless headset for the 360. sound through speakers, voice chat through the headset

Yeah its more for gaming after people have gone to sleep, and so I don't annoy the neighbours (too much).

tell them to htfu!

I didnt know there was an option to run game sounds through a headset. That would be cool.

i have a vague recollection of someone saying the turtle beach ones were s***, but i've personally never used any of them.

so are you after the type that
1. you can talk on Live
2. or just decent headsets?

1. the xbox ones are fine for talk and average for sound
2. i have Sennheiser which are the ducks nuts

you'd think logitech would make something??

both.

Talk on live, and normal headset.

ie. so I can play live at midnight with the volume on 11 ! and no one will care.

I just use your existing stereo headphones, no need to buy a new complete headset unless you want to use xbox live...

spend like a max of 15 bucks at jb or wow.

1. 3.5 mm to RCA cable, 2 RCA female (Left and Right) to a 3.5mm stereo male
2. 3.5 mmm y spilter ( 2 3.5 mm (female) to 3.5 mm male
3. connect xbox 360 left and right cables from component or vga to rca spilter
4. connect rca 3.5 male end to one of connector on the 3.5 y spillter.
5. connect headphones to other port.
6. profit.

Yeah, I used to do that when I lived at my parent's place, but it comes out pretty soft. I'd imagine having it come into an amp and then plug headphones into the amp would be a way better solution (if its viable).

thats ok for sound only
what about talk on XBL?
pretty sure you'd have to direct connect to the 360 for that

thrax ... you are connecting a line out to headphones ... that'd suck and totally misses the point of what I want.

If I wanted just that I'd plug headphones into my receiver.
