What Headset Do You Use?

[SoCaLBaMF]

Used to own the Bose Triport OEs (still do just need new ear pads)

Now own the Bose QC15s, and the Shure SE420s in ears.. love them both.

Would like to get the Klipsch new OEs Copper series, or the Images since Im a hugeee Klipsch lover.

I got the one my 360 came with. I rarely use it in the first place, so why drop a lot of money on something that'll just sit. And I do spew out profanities when I get really frustrated, so I don't want to be an annoyance to other players.

unless you have a good surround sound system a headset is SOOOOO much better than tv volume. plus you can play it loud at night without bothering other people

I thought headsets were only for talking/listening to your party/group and headphones were for listening to everything.. Hmmm I seem to be in the dark with this technology. And I just use the speakers that are integrated with my TV. Honestly, gaming isn't all that important to me, but I still enjoy it. Just not to a point of spending a ton of money on stuff. And if it's night, I like it quieter anyways, it's more relaxing for me as opposed to loud explosions and gunshots.

The tritons have 4 or 5 speakers per ear but they suck. The x11s arnt even simulated surrounded sound they are just stereo just like your TV just on u

your ears. If you want a good head set get the a40s or the astro mixamp with some sennheisers. Doesn't get better than that.

lol if you want to get technical a headset that plays in true 5.1 is how the game is meant to be heard

if you want to get technical, a headset can't really play in true digital 5.1. that would require 5 speaker sources (front, center, rear) and a subwoofer. if someone did manage to create a "headset" with all of that, it would end up being more of a helmet, rather than a headset.

i have some turtle beaches (got em cheap cuz i worked at best buy ) they "claim" 5.1 surround sound, but they have the red and white stereo RCA's, which are not capable of carrying 5.1. in reality you are (at most) listening to 2.1 stereo, which still sounds good and works great for gaming. just don't fall for the "5.1 digital surround" BS

oh and one more thing to add onto my little rant, i saw a gaming show take apart 2 types of headphones made by the same company. one cost more than the other, but upon disassembly they discovered the only difference between the less expensive model and the more expensive model was a piece of foam designed to make the lesser model sound worse.

/end rant

my headset has 8 speakers fyi

this is my current headset. plan on getting the new amplifier for them though

In my eyes, a headset is what plugs into the 360 controller. Headphones are what DJ's use/what people plug into the audio port of their computers or MP3 players. I don't even know how'd you listen to your TV with headphones/headset on... Technology man, let loose on it and it just takes off right in front of ya.
