Hi All,
I apologise if this question has been answered, or is difficult to answer, but in my defence I have read *decent headphones for xbox 360* part 1 - 8, and many similar threads, and my head is spinning even more than before I started!
I am a complete headset noob, console game or otherwise. I have an xbox 360 elite and an LCD tv (quite old now). I'm looking for something that is ideally simple to use / set up, and reasonably inexpensive (no more than £80). Also quite tidy, as my wife is very anal (and not in the good way
).
I play my xbox a fair bit, but not competitively, it's just a hobby for me. A lot of this time is spent on FPS, and a lot of that online. I just don't know if I can justify, or if I need to justify, full 5.1/7.1 surround sound, or if stereo would be enough?
Am I correct in thinking that stereo I will hear noises just to my left or right? I won't be able to tell if they're behind or infront of me? And is the sound quality in 5.1 that much better? And would somebody like me (8 - 10 hours playtime a week if I'm lucky - and no headphone experience) even notice the quality difference?
Can anybody give me a suggestion that is simple to set up, simple to use, won't break the bank but will satisfy my quality needs.
Thank you everyone!
