5 stars "Turtlebeach Slayer."

This is one of the best quality headsets ever made. They have excellent bass on their 50mm drivers and includes the sound card which are THX driven with Dolby decoding meaning that this simulates 360 speakers instead of the usual 7.1. This headset bolts past the slow Turtle beaches and are better than them in all ways possible.

This headset is amazing because it also comes with a sound card which will work on any platform. This sound card is the heart of all your Dolby and THX pleasure. The sound card has a standard 3.5mm jack for devices like your iPod, MP3 player and your console of course. However, the consoles don't use this old and unreliable connect as creative have included a mini Optical TOSLINK connection designed for the consoles meaning that you have better sound quality and more surround sound. Your headset will be connected through the wireless slot card at the top. The good thing about this soundcard is that you can use it with the old 3.5 mm headsets which plug in the bottom and will make them fully immersed in THX quality sound. This card comes with many customizable features that you can program on your computer or with the press of a button enable Recon mode. Recon mode will boost footstep noise and will allow you to pin point the position of the nearby enemy. The sound card is fully USB powered so you will need a spare connection on your PS3, Xbox360 or PC to power it. The USB connection is also used as your microphone connection for PS3 and PC. The Xbox 360 microphone connection is on the headset itself.

The headset features two 50mm neodymium magnet drivers and a removable microphone. The microphone is very flexible and sounds clear with the soundcard. The headset has leather cushioning and it feels light comfortable on the head but it does squeeze a little. Also one thing to mention is that sound will bleed at full volume but I don’t think that anyone would be that def to crank it up. The bass is utterly destructive yet crystal clear. Every explosion feels real and this would have to be the best thing about this headset. The mids are great but the highs are a bit lacking. This is good for a 20Hz~20KHz headset so it’s not a big deal.

This is a fully uncompressed wireless headset but it is running on the generic 2.4GHz frequency which is one of the only down side for me because it you can pick up interference from other devices on the same frequency.

What this Headset does is gives you unparalleled sound quality which will give you the unfair advantage on any game, any where, any genre, on any system. I would gladly pay $380 for this headset but I will need to save up for the next few months. Who knows, maybe in that time, Mighty ape might put this on special!

5 stars "Excellent sound quality!!!"

I use it mainly for my PS3, and its truly amazing!!
Mini home-theater in my room without bothering my flatmates, lol. I havent use the microphone yet, but so far I enjoy the crystal clear sound like I m in the middle of the cinema.
A bit expensive, but worth it!
