Advantages: Sound quality is great, comfortable, improves your games

Disadvantages: Quite bulky, more money than average headset, wires

The Turtle Beach X1 headset is an essential accessory for any online gamer. Most people either use the wired headset that comes with the 360 or the wireless one which is much less than the X1s.

I've been through all of them... and this is by far the best. The biggest advantage for using this headset is the sound quality. It will improve your game by a large amount. It's great being able to hear people exactly where they are... almost like having permanent radar.

If you play COD4, COD5 or my favourite, Halo 3 then these will be very useful. Especially for Search and Destroy in the COD games. If someone is creeping up behind you, the days of being knifed in the back are long gone when you have these.

Both game audio and chat audio comes through the headset, so these are also excellent for playing at night when you don't want to wake your flatmates/parents up.

The mic on the headset is very good and I haven't had an problems with it, unlike the multiple problems I had with the Microsoft headsets. I highly recommend these mainly for gaming, but they can also be used for watching movies.

If you have a PS3, don't worry, Turtle Beach have released the PX1s.

Summary: A great purchase for anyone who plays a lot of online gaming
