    Tbh, if you're going to buy this, invest in it. Don't buy the one in xtravision (I'm assuming it's the orb brand). I had two of them, both broke in less than two months. On the other hand, I've mates who paid the extra money and have had no problems with thier turtle beaches... They may be far more expensive but you're getting your money for it

    You can probably still buy Turtle Beach X11's somewhere, they aren't the best, but they are far from the worst and they'll apparently stand up to punishment, at least my pair do.

    I got them when they were €50, but you can probably get them for €35 or something now.

    From one of my posts around the start of the year (still very happy with them) -Quote:

    Got these this morning and played 2 games of MW3. Very happy with them, I didn't set up as per the instructions as I am using a HDMI cable but just plugged them into the xbox slim and TV and they seem to be perfect.
    They are very light and seem very sturdy and with the adjustably sizes fit me and the gf (who has a smaller head than me thankfully) snugly.
    When using them can definitely tell where the shots are coming form and they did let me know where (roughly) a sentry gun was. Noticeably great sound for the choppers too so when an enemy one is around I roughly know where they are without having to look at the map. I also pick up the little touches better too like when running past bins in the London level I can hear the flies at the bins and footsteps in the hardhat level go from gravel to wood to concrete in the room.
    Very happy and at 30 pounds on amazon you cant really go wrong.
