Once again look for a headset solution for PC/Console gaming/music


Recommended Posts

TurtleBeach X1's. I have them. They were $70 and about a 8ft cable? Idont know all I know is the wire is LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

They work GREAT for 360, PC, and music.

I love ther e5.1 surround sound. On Halo 3, the map Valhalla, my friend was at one end and start running around and jumping and I COULD HEAR HIM!?!? It was like "OMFG WHAT!?".

Also, just found out today, my friend just got these as a free replacement to his SkullCrushers, Skullcandy makes the GI!

Detachable mic, but everything else is the same as the turtlebeach. Althou I say go TurtleBeach because there made for gaming / i have personal experience.

But the GI is a good headset too.

+1 for the Turtle Beach X1. My brother bought one for ?45 a few months ago and they're brilliant! It's given him the edge in Call of Duty, which I thought very hard to believe but it actually has helped improve his game. I also use them for Guitar Hero/Rock Band as he doesn't like listening to it.:pp They work well on the PC as well, but last time I tried it, the mic didn't work directly plugged into the sound card, but something was probably disabled on the computer that stopped it from working, but it works if you use the 360 attachment and plug it straight into the 360 controller plugged into the PC.;))

My birthday is coming up in June and I was stumped as usual for any gift ideas. Well I finally thought of one when a friend mentioned his TurtleBeach headset while we were playing Live tonight. I am pretty sure I had a topic a while back about this but my interest has been renewed.

First off before I get too deep, is there anything I can easily use between the PC and my 360? TurtleBeach here has PC and 360 headsets which makes me think that would be a no to my previous question.

Either way, is TurtleBeach the direction I should head? I really wouldn't want to spend more than $100.

i know the perfect headset for you

these are a little more then ya can spend but i heard they are great now anyways watch the video review of them on the link here http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...mp;Sku=T26-1114

Although I agree the Turtlebeach X1's are great for PC/Xbox gaming. They are not as good as a decent set of headphones for music.

Is it that drastic of a difference between one and the other?

I have heard of the Triton's but didn't know much about them. Notuptome, is there any cheaper models?

yes they do makea cheaper set that does not have the dolby digital coding box witch is one of the main features witch i assume ya can buy separate later on anyways the video review was good on it but let see here is a cheaper set

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...&CatId=2382 so it may be possible to buy the box later on to get evan more out of theses

So I don't understand. You buy something that has the possibilities of dolby digital but you have to buy a box to make it happen?

um no not entirely no just the box allows alot more to be done i guess but i guess it will work either way as the headset itself is Powered if you watch the reviews of it the video reviews of it in the tiger direct links they have a full video review of them

My friend actually just contacted me yesterday saying I had to get the Trittons, that they were the nicest headset he ever had. Literally that is why he sent me a text message, just to tell me about the headset. So I have never used them, but they come highly recommended from my friend. :laugh:

My best mate's brother has the X1s and he let me try them out on COD4 - to be fair, I was pretty damn impressed with them for gaming. I didn't try them with music, but judging from the amount of bass they were kicking out (not sure if that's something he'd changed/configured) I wouldn't think they'd be too great for that.

Well there is another vote for a Triton headset. :p Did he use it for the PC or console? Was he gaming or just listening to music? Sorry for the parade of questions, I just want to make sure I have all my research done. Finally, would you mind asking him what set he has? :p

That is what worries me. I want something where I can easily transition from using them with my 360 to plugging them into the computer and listening to music or just game on the computer.

If I have to sacrifice music on my computer, then so be it if it comes down to that. I do have my Logitech X-530's with an X-Fi sound card which puts out the quality of sound/music I'm accustomed to.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention what they're like with music. Scokem, you're pretty much on the money: the bass overwhelms the music mainly, and the sound quality isn't as good as my Sennheiser HD 215s.

BTW, if you want an easy transition between 360 and PC, it's easy as long as you can access the back of your TV easily. :p I don't use it on the PC too often because you have to take it out the back of the TV for it to reach to the PC, and I've got a CRT TV, so it's a big ask to keep doing it constantly.

The Sennheiser HD 215's aren't technically mics though too right? Just looking them up on Amazon it looks to be like on headphones.

Yeah, they're just headphones. It's the only thing I had to compare it to. Obviously, they'll perform better than the X1s because they're made for music, whereas the X1 is made for gaming and voice chat.

Well I am just torn right now. I have been really researching the Ear Force X3's as well as Tritton AX360's. Either way there are some reviews that just say punt it because the quality isn't worth it and go with the Ear Force X1's. Bah! :(

I'd go for the X1s and save the money. I'd say that ?50 is the maximum you should pay for a gaming headset. Some of them go over ?100, which is just ridiculous:wacko:o:

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
