So I have the X1. I really like that it is wired because I can use it for many different things including: Xbox 360, PC, TV, pretty much anything with a headphone jack and a USB plug. Does anyone else use Turtle Beach headsets? Any opinions?

I wasn't a fan of the X1 and X3 cause they have the leather earphones and with a long use time my ears got really sweaty.

That being said, the X31 and X41s have cloth/fiber instead and are amazing. There was a sale of the X31s down to $99 at one point and I didn't jump on it and regret it so now I'm waiting for them to drop back down on sale.

I'd love the X41s but it's a very steep price, but the visrtual surround more than likely makes up for it.

I'm using old school headphones that my dad got when I was born. JVC audio although they're old they work well. I haven't really thought of buying any new ones.

the X41's are very nice, and worth every penny.

All i know is that turtle beaches are really good for silent gameplay at night, like say you dont want to wake anybody up in your house but still want sound, other than that as far as i know its nothing special.

turtle beach headsets are great. Mostly used when I want to enjoy my game when people are sleeping, but i oftentimes find myself putting them on anyways just because they sound so crisp.

Games like Call of Duty, Borderlands, Farcry2, I can actually hear things i could never hear before and didnt even notice, like bullet shells hitting the ground. In FC2 i could hear the shells dropping on to the wooden dock i was standing on. When i took them off and fired off the same gun, I could barely notice.

Bought the X31....LOVE it, don't regret it for a second since I only paid $100.

Nice var, I'm thinking about getting a pair of x41's. I am waiting for them to come down a little bit in price though.
