I have had the X3's for a couple of years now and love them. They are great when playing on the likes of COD as they help you distinguish which direction the moevement you can hear is coming from. Good for late night gaming when everyone else in the house is asleep as well.

this is the main reason for them... The Mrs will curl up on the sofa under the blanket (for a cheeky kip) at 10pm, and expect me to turn the volume down, even though she should be off the bed!  :angry:

They will be ideal then mate, I recommend getting some rechargeable batteries for them tho. I got 2 sets of batteries so when one set dies I pop them on charge and put the others in.

already got some, and got a cheap (genuine MS) optical audio adapter as im running HDMI (as you cant have a HDMI cable and the original AV adapter, for the optical output, plugged in at the same time)  :laugh:

They are great for COD as you can hear everything, even over the other side of the map and can still hear footsteps etc if the enemy is using Ninja Pro.

Downside is they hurt your ears after having them on for a long time but I may just have a big head.

did they interfere with his wireless router or just his xbox wifi adapter? my xbox has a wired connection to the router, which is 5 metres away from the xbox (and where the X41 headset will be) so shouldnt be an issue.

I've got the turtle beaches and they work perfectly.

No complaints from the significant other either... until I start shouting "YOU CAMPING wayne kerr!" at 2am.

Chat is really clear through them and well defined from the game sounds too.

Well they arrived today, and short of a bit of background hiss all is well.

The hiss is apparently a trade-off with the wireless technology, and cant be heard when playing a game but can be heard at the dashboard or on game menus.

BFBC2 sounds great through them, i.e. you can hear your squadmates running around and position them in your head pretty well
