Well, I bought the Turtle Beach PX5 headset from Amazon.

They were priced at 199 in Game on the High Street and 149.99 on their website (Wouldnt' price match)

So i had a look on Amazon and they were 129.99. Then I remembered i had a £30 voucher i got when I left my last job. So got them for £99.99.

I tried them out yesterday and they are awesome. The depth of sound is excellent. Being DD 7.1, you can hear the gun fire far off in the distance. They are very comfortable to wear and as they are also blue tooth you can connect them through any laptop that has bluetooth installed.

They can be recharged but as they come with standard AA batteries I need to purchase a couple of rechargeable ones instead.

They are a nice headset but i don't like the hassle of having to switch from Xbox To playstation via the optical lead supplied.

Sound is good like you say and i enjoy putting mine on for a long gaming session especially when playing COD.

Rechargeable batteries a must because i have gone through boxes and at this price for a headset they should have been some charging device and not used standard batteries.

I had a Logitech headset before this and this charged on a cradle and it was half the price nearly.

You could do what We did with our tv/dvd/PS3 setup and buy a remote controlled Optical switch. My wife wanted an easy way of switching between sky, dvd etc.

Worth looking in to.

Cheers mate its something i will look into,to be perfectly honest as not to concerned at present as i much prefer my 360 .

Had my headset for a good year now bit like everything else in the technology department advances and upgrades seem to come along as soon as you have purchased something new and i have seen some drop dead gorgeous headsets that i would buy now.

I paid about £160 for mine and i do enjoy the quality of the sound,my other gripe is the stupid white wire you have to use for the xbox controller for talking.

Again everything was bluetooth on the logitech and this was not required.

By the way nice to see a new face in the gaming forum,i know you been on this site a long time but i don't recall seeing much of you in here and oh boy do we need some Gaming posts.

Looks like you also virtually trebled your original budget of £40 .

Nice to see a new face in the gaming forum

Thanks. Being out of work it gives me more of a chance to try out games that I never had time for before and also to read what about what others are playing. However this is done once i have exhausted my daily search of jobs to apply for!

Lately have been playing BF3 for a couple of hours a day. Also played Uncharted and have a stack of games that have yet to be played properly!

Excellent always room for another BF3 player here

Until Black ops 2 drops in 3 weeks time and anything Battlefield 3 related will be drowned out by threads of Treyarch new Game

Only for a few weeks, then the hype will die and BF3 will show it's still the best

More than likely,especially if it turns out to be like MW3

Funny thing is that since the disbandment of Infinity Ward ,Treyarch who were considered to be the 2nd choice Cod developers seemed to have moved the flag somewhat and upped there game.

Black ops was better than both MW2 and 3 and with the added bonus of Zombies and a new Multiplayer engine and a ton of other content it has great potential.

Saying that Swanny i would not bet on that fact or me not coming on here a few days later claiming the game is utter garbage and calling it MW 3.5

Heres hoping it turns out to be decent and the videos and previews and hype trail live up to the expectations,but we all know it will be the biggest game of the year bad reviews or not.

Gamestop have already quoted that it is the biggest pre/order of any game in history beating all previous COD games.

So as much of us that bad mouth it you can not argue that it is a massive franchise and has a massive fan base.........Teeny boppers and all

Thought i would add that line above before you beat me to it

Gamestop quote

Funny i was thinking the same as this piece of news i just spotted on a Gaming site.

Why Far Cry 3 will put Black ops 2 to shame
