Headphones! - Tristan - 2011-08-11

I currently have Turtle Beach x11's and I am not satisfied with them. I enjoyed them very much when they weren't giving me problems, but now I believe it is time for an upgrade.

I am looking for headphones that have:
1.) GOOD SOUND
2.) MICROPHONE
X.) No HORRIBLE MIC FEEDBACK
3.) USB Connection
4.) Xbox 360 Connect-ability
5.) Plug-N-Play
6.) Comfortable to wear for 2-4 hours

The headphones must have good sound quality, and they must be comfortable to wear for gaming sessions. I need them for Xbox 360 AND PC. I don't mind if it is Wireless. My Turtle Beaches have only one problem, FEEDBACK. All I hear in my mic when I don't hear the game is SSSSSSS, or in other words, the sound of a creeper. Noise cancelling, I do not mind that but I don't wan't to hear my sisters yelling at my mom through the wall. No tin can amplifier headphones. I wouldn't mind one of those box-things that you plug into then the xbox or the PC. I do enjoy taking my headphones to other places than my home so if there isnt a box thing, then power to you.

I am currently thinking off the Tritton AX-720's.

BUDGET: 150$

Audio-Technica ATH-M50S Monitor Headphones

I've had these for 4 months or so now, probably. Works great, nice quality, etc. Look it up.

If you want pure sound quality (but no mic, no usb)

-> Sennheiser HD-25 (On-ear)

-> Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (Full-ear)

But if you want USB + Good Mic + Xbox360 compatible for that pricerange... no idea.

Beyerdynamic does have a gaming headset with mic + USB, but they're out of your budget (300 euro...). But if you want to buy a extreme high-quality headphone, that you can enjoy for the coming 5~10 years. That's the one.

To be honest. Get the audiotechna's or sennheiser. Then find a clip on microphone. Microphone's + headsets never usually are the best. The Headsets are really good but the microphones aren't.

Bose A2 are probably the most comfortable headphones ever.

I know im gonna get bashed for this, but I thought that my pair of Solo HDs by Beats. by Dr. Dre was pretty good. iPhone compatible too Biggrin

What the hell is iPhone compatibility?

I have a pair of Steelseries Spectrum 4xb headphones that I use for gaming and listening to music. I'm not sure how the sound quality compares to the Turtle Beaches, but I find them pretty decent. The sound is crystal clear and I have no problems with static from the mic. They're extremely comfortable to wear and the mic is retractable for convenience. I would highly recommend looking into these since they seem to be a step above the TBs, but aren't as pricey as Tritons or Astros.

I'm using the Turtle Beach Earforce Z1, and no complaints about them. They're not USB, but feedback is no problem, they're comfortable, and the sound quality is pretty good.

iPhone is stupid. Apple is stupid. Apple tries to sue their hardware manufacturer (samsung)
Just get a usb converter if you have to. When i was searching for headphones. Microphones were never good unless you bought them separately and attached them on to your headset.
