I have to pick up a gift for my little sister. I am a PS3 guy, I own a 360 but don't really use it. Anyways, I want to get her a headset so she can join in the online BS. I saw the Microsoft Bluetooth Headset for around $50. Anyone have this one or recommendations on one? I don't want to / need to spend more than $100. She plays a lot of COD... but doesn't have a proper way to talk smack.
You really want her to be able to talk to people playing video games? Those usually aren't the most intelligent or mature conversations. LOL. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I have nice headphones for playing Xbox, but I use the cheapo Microsoft headset if I do need a mic. It doesn't work very well. I would not recommend it.
Crap. Yeah.... I don't know what is a better option for her. I don't want to drop over $100 on a wireless setup. She might stop playing in April or never... so i feel if she really wants to get into it she can fund it herself. Bluetooth headset are never up to Turttle Beach Headsets quality when your looking in the under $100 range. I just didn't see many other choices ..... to bad it's a crappy headset.
I just picked up a Turtle Beach headset for my Xbox. I got the DX12 and am very happy. the surround actually is pretty good, I get a real sense of which direction people are coming from. The mic is also very good, I am told the sound is good. Turtle Beach Xbox 360
Is she dead set on wireless? If not, you should certainly be able to find a reasonably priced wired set. These look like they'd do the trick: http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/xbox-gaming-headsets/ear-force-x12.aspx I use the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 Ohm for gaming. They sound great, but they don't have a mic and they do like to have an amp to sound their best. http://www.amazon.com/beyerdynamic-DT770-PRO-250-ohm/dp/B0006NL5SM
The turtle beach sets are not built very well. Sound quality is pretty good but you have to treat them like glass antiques.
Yeah I have a Turttle Beach set for the PS3, I like them. Mine sound great but I don't know if she would dig the wires.
for mic communications i just use the xbox wireless headset. cheap sounds fine and what not. I have full surround sound so no need for the high end headset.
Just get a used regular old crappy wired headset for $10 at gamestop. If it turns out she likes it, get a better one. No sense in dropping a bunch of cash on something that might get binned in a couple months.
Yeah, I know she wants one. I have a few concerns and that's why I am keeping it on a budget. She has been known to not take care of her stuff... so i think the wired TB setup would last her a month or two. I know the lower end ones are pretty famous for snapping apart. I might just go with the BT Xbox 360 headset for $50. It isn't great... but it might be the best fit. I am going to do some more research on what Ben posted. Either way... I am shopping in 4 hours.
