Mar 12, I find it very comfortable as well, and it holds a surprisingly good charge for me.

I don't know exactly, but I think I get over 8 hours of use between charges. Sounds great as well and I hardly notice I'm wearing it when I get into the game. I'm also quite happy with the surround. There's no trouble figuring out where a sound is coming from in 3d space with the surround.

Good to hear! I literally place my order for a pair of A40s yesterday. I was worried opening the article Up till now I've gone through a few headsets within the last year actually. The Tritton 7. I went through two warranty replacement - same thing. I still have a credit with Tritton And the PX3, which were an absolute delight! The Tritton AxPros are fantastic. I've had mine for a year. There are a lot of cords which some may not like.

Yup, the only issue is they are unforgiving if you aren't careful. I barley sat on mine and both cups broke off. But I was able to fix this with some duct tape :D I actually bought another pair for my friend for xmas because I was so amazed with these. The thing about TurtleBeach headsets I've bought three if that they seem to be very cheaply put together. They sound fantastic, but what's the point if after only a few short months, they break? It's not like I'm abusing them or anything.

I'm taking fantastic care of these things. Something as simple as adjusting it to fit on my head has broken one. One sliding to my soft carpet floor has broken another. The third just broke while I was wearing them. I want them to be useful for more than half a year, at the VERY least. Yet I've never had a TurtleBeach do that. So overrated. I picked up a pair of PX21's but I found the cabling setup on PS3 to be a mess of cabling plus the mic on my ones was either over sensitive or not picking up everything I was saying.

Spent more time adjusting the distance of the mic from my face than I did using them in the end. Gaming Headsets suck. Get yourself a pair of high end Sennheiser headphones with a kick ass sound card and you will be blown away.

We're talking about gaming headsets, not headphones. Obviously headphones designed for sound will sound better than a gaming headset designed for games. BTW Einstein, studio headphones don't have surround sound. Sorry if I sound butthurt but you're really an idiot for posting that here.

That's why I bought Sennheiser HD and astro mixamp, superb sound quality with 5. I didn't disagree thou :. Studio headphones do have surround sound. Virtual surround sound.

Any pair of stereo headphones can have virtual surround sound. Most of these gaming headsets are stereo, though some of them have a few different drivers crammed into each side. With those ones you get a bunch of cheap drivers. Plus 10 hour battery life, no need to replace the batteries, built in rechargeable. Love them. From the comments, the Astro's seem to be pretty good. Can anyone tell me about thier battery life? I use a pair of Turtle Beach X41's, they sound great, but I find the battery life is pretty disappointing.

If you already have a pair of good headphones then you only need the mixamp. I'm 39 nearly 40, a gamer and would say average at most things. I seem to meet more people in 20's online though. I know people in their thirties that play as well. Im just baffled by the number because they're are millions and millions of teens or preteens online. So to average out to 37, wouldn't their have to be an insane number of year olds?

Edit: the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I was just imagining Xbox Live at first. But I realize their are more gaming options than just Xbox live. I wasn't even taking into account PCs or PS3s, etc. I'm Most gamers are older, and we grew up with the gaming industry. Gaming isn't only for 12 year old MW3 fans.

It's diverse. This is why I don't argue with anyone online. I'm probably arguing with a kid, so I don't bother LOL. I just look at some of the comments and literally laugh out loud at how uninformed and immature they are.

Everyone I know who has had a Tritton has had problems with them. Whether it be the durability or poor voice chat. What's new. New posts New profile posts Latest activity.
