Xbox 360 Headset Help

[asmidir]

Why hello there Escapists,

Sometime soon I plan to join the ever expanding Xbox live community. (assuming my ADSL modem arrives soon, stupid holiday backlog) Anyway, in order to experience the full xbox live squeeky voiced preteen in your ear package I am looking for a headset and really don't fancy forking out $50 for the wireless ones.

So after searching eBay for some cheaper 3rd party sets I came across these comfy looking fellows.

Do any of you fellow escapists use these particular headsets? If so can you tell me if they're any good. Another brand I found were the "Powerwave" headsets you can find in most department and game stores. Are they any good either?

I'm not looking for the greatest sound quality but I don't want to end up with inaudible chirping in my ear......oh wait.

All help appreciated. Thanks

Honestly, I'd suggest getting the stupidly pricey, onbrand wireless headset. When I had live, I went through 3 of their $15 headsets and they just crapped out on me within 3 months. The wireless headset still works, so that'd be about a year or 2. It's pricey, yes, but it's actually worth it.

Anything by Turtle Beach is usually great.

Can't speak for the brands you mentioned but I've got a set from Turtle Beach that I rather enjoy, but at $50 USD they are rather expensive. On the plus side the bass is so much better on them than my TV that half the time I wind up using them even when I'm not playing multiplayer.

Edit: Okay that has to be one of the best snipe's I've seen.
