it's pretty damn overwhelming at first isn't it!
it shouldn't take you long to get used to it though.
i actually forgot i was wearing the astros this morning i was that comfortable with them
Gaming headsets are a must buy

Did a little research last night and i found the AxPro's are a little cheaper than the Astro A40's (around $200 delivered compared to $280ish for the a40's).
Anywho as i said i did a little research last night and i reckon i have narrowed it down to 3 options.
First are the Turtle Beach DPX21's, these are the same headset as the px21's but they also have the Earforce DSS to transform the px21 headsets into 5.1/7.1 full Dolby digital surround sound.
Havn't heard to many complaints about the turtle beaches and price wise they are the better of the three at around $180ish delivered
Second are the Tritton AxPro's, they are True Dolby 5.1 surround sound with 8 speakers (4 in each ear) and with a detachable mic.
They also look alright imo.
The only problem with these is that a few people have complained that there mic has stoped working after a little while.
These are priced at around $195-200 delivered.
The third set are Sharkoons X-Tatic, these humdingers are true 5.1 Dolby surround sound with the 8 speakers.
The only complaints i have read is that in long sessions the inner earpiece can get a little unconfortable.
There priced at around $190 delivered
After all that im still unsure what to grab, i like the Trittons but the complaints have turned me off them a little bit, and the Turtle Beaches dont seem to have many complaints at all so the peace of mind knowing they are just going to work has merrit.
Btw those prices were taken off Amazon.com

Not 100% on this as i havent been keeping up but axpro's may have been superceded by ax900's.
Send me a PM with what suburb you are in, and we'll see if its close
If you are close enough, i would be more than willing to sort a deal out

Gold Member: How do the X31's you have go in terms of battery use?
Played with the PX21's for the first time tonight
They get a big
from me
Now we just need the others to get them, as its much easier communicating on PSN
HBK- I'm looking at you!

Thanks mate
Well finally got my X11's after waiting 10 days. Played last night, decided to try them out with MW2. Figured a game like that would be where the most advantage would be.
I was blown away to say the least. Don't know why I haven't done this sooner. The sound is awesome and not only can you hear which direction people are approaching but you can also hear a lot further in the distance. This means that you can basically pin point where conflicts are happening around the map. It really was that good. I also found sounds like Harriers became direction specific with them as well.
One other thing I was highly impressed by was the comfort. They've got mesh cups for breathability which is something I was thinking about coming up to summer. It will be interesting to see how that goes as this was a concern.
I decided on the wired X11's rather then the X31's because I can't be fragged with batteries but I guess the only thing I don't like too much is the mess of cords. The only fault I can find with them and it's only small.

are there any other major differences between the x11 and x31 besides the wireless?
i said to my mate when ordering my a40 audio system that in a months time they'll probably come out with a newer/better/updated version but i was assured it was highly unlikely any time soon.
seems i was wrong.......it only took a week..............:|
http://www.astrogaming.com/products/detail/108/A40-Wireless-System/
the new ones are apparently 7.1 (or probably simulated who knows...havn't read thoroughly enough) with an updated and wireless mixamp lmao.
honestly though i am so happy with my current a40's that it's only a minor blip but still that's some bs right there lol

i'd be willing to take yours off your hands if you want the new one camo
you planning on actually getting a proper headset for blackops?
Ochre

if i had money, a headset would be one of the first things I'd get
unfortunately I have no money, and no job so not in the immediate future
hopefully px21s for christmas

I decided coz I won $2500 in free bets by winning the bf tipping comp (hold for applause) I'd try and win myself a headset on the cup today. So if all goes to plan I will hopefully have a pair of PX21s on the way tonight
If you want a sure thing box the field in a tri and dump the lot on, it will get ya about 23% which should land you more than enough to get some headsets, especially if the fav doesn't get up.
Then all u need to do is find another sure thing like Eng v PNG in the four nation's to turn the winnings over and Bobs ya uncle.

Bought the PX21's today from my local EB, set it up on PS3 easily enough, went to setup the 360 but my AV Cable won't fit in along side my HDMI cable! Any tips?
I hunted around for a HDMI Digital AV Cable but alas, no success.

Did you get the official Xbox 360 HDMI cables?
If so, it would have had an adaptor that plugs into the AV port above the HDMI port with the red and white plugs for the headset
Got my PX21's working fine for my PS3 and 360

Thankyou lads.
Now I want one of these and the missus will get them for me for Xmas
Will be a pleasure ridding myself of that small PS3 headset and having the full surround sound on my head and my head alone
What is the best one? PX21 ok? Seems to be worth it?
And Glenno, I'll have to find out which store you're at bro, also. North or South of the river? Meh, I'm a rep, I travel everywhere.
