Hey AVF.
I'm currently in a quandary.
I am looking for a new, high-quality headset for the Xbox 360, and would appreciate help in choosing one.
Currently, I use a SteelSeries 5XB. It's decent, but nothing spectacular. However, I recently acquired my Razer Onza TE. The SteelSeries LiveMix adapter isn't compatible with the Onza, and I refuse to go back to the fault-ridden land of regular Xbox 360 controllers.
So, I need a new headset.
There appears to be 4 major competitors: Tritton AX Pros, Astro A40s, Turtle Beach X41s and Sharkoon X-Tatic 5.1s.
My main priorities are sound quality, build quality, mic quality and value for money.
I've done some research, and that almost invalidates the X41s straight away. I can't stand Turtle Beach headsets, but I've never used the X41s myself. Either way, I'd prefer to avoid them, but I've left them in just in case.
As it stands, I think the A40s are very expensive for what they are. I'd prefer to have a limit of £150, but if they're really worth the extra £50-60, I'd go for it.
I've heard that the AX Pros are almost as good, but have a ridiculous amount of wiring. Same story with the almost identical Sharkoons.
So, can anybody help me to narrow this down?
Thanks in advance!
