Gaming Headsets
So my turtle beach's just crapped out on me thanks to a loose fucking wire.
I don't know if I should just get another pair of X11's or go for something else. What do you guys use ?

wireless astro a30s. Expensive, good for watching movies and listening to tv.
There good, but not worth the money(I got them for cheap cause I sold some old stuff).

Woah, wait a second.
"**Most importantly, and ASTRO MixAmp or Wireless MixAmp 5.8 MUST be purchased in order to use Xbox Live and PlayStation Network online voice communication and enable 7.1 Dolby Surround in your A30 Headset.**"
So i have to buy the headset at basically £100 and the mixamp at £100 too. So that I can play the game and chat at the same time ?

Re: Gaming Headsets
I will tell you from personal experience (I own both) that Turtle Beach PX5's > Astro A30s and A40s
If you're going to spend that much money, the PX5's are better. Even game informer agrees.

Re: Gaming Headsets
I've own pairs of beaches before. They are flimsy plastic pieces of junk, that love to malfunction.
Don't even get me started on their sound cards.

Re: Gaming Headsets
the PX5's are far better than any other turtle beach product and they are significantly better than Astros. Believe me, I love my astros but PX5's are most definitely better. They work for PS3 or 360 (or your cell phone). You can create different sound profiles in case you wanted one for music, one for movies, one for games, etc... you can apply different voice masks to those sound profiles. It has bluetooth. The sound quality is just as good (if not slightly better) as astros.John26 wrote:I've own pairs of beaches before. They are flimsy plastic pieces of junk, that love to malfunction.

Re: Gaming Headsets
Well the astro's came today. Not had a great deal of time to use them yet but ill give my first impressions.
Sound Quality:
Sound is great, probably ever so slightly better than my X11's that I had before. Just seem a little crisper and the bass is deeper on these too. What I would say is the sound quality for listening to my ipod is much better than Beats, which I tried and considered getting. Too me the sound on beats seems slightly muffled compared to the a30's. If I was buying a pair simply for music I would probably pay the £95 for the astro headset only, as opposed to the £160 for beats.
Build/Comfort:
Straight away they seem a much better build quality than the turtle beach's. Those seemed sort of flimsy as if you could snap them in half, where as the A30's seem pretty solid. I like the fact that the ear pieces can rotate 90 degrees to rest on your shoulders when you are not using them. I wasnt too sure about the fact they didn't go over my ear like the X'11s but so far im pleasantly surprised. They cover pretty much most of my ear and the sound from outside the headset is unnoticeable. I haven't used them for a prolonged period of time yet so Ill see how comfortable they are once I do. The turtle beach's tended to make my ears sweaty when I used them for a few hours.
Ill add more once I use them a little longer.
