Turtle Beach Ear Force X41 Wireless Headset

Had these just over a week now.Excellent 7.1 Dolby Digital (DD)surround sound when you connect direct to an Xbox RCA Optical Lead.If you connect instead to the "TV Optical Out", to watch TV when the Xbox is Off you only get Dolby Pro-Logic II (DPLII) for Gaming or TV programmes (Xbox doesn't pass on 5.1 through the HDMI Lead). So to get the full 7.1 DD you definitely need to connect to an Xbox RCA Optical Lead directly. Then though no TV sound unless you keep swapping the Optical Lead from Xbox to "TV Optical Out". Unless you do it by Analogue Phono on the X41 and your TV, but most TV's don't have "Analogue Out" (and again DPLII for gaming not 7.1 DD). So you might need a "Optical to Analogue Converter". The X41's have Optical as main source then when this is Off , Analogue.
Just a heads up for those that want TV and Xbox with out the constant need for Unplugging the supplied Optical lead.

After a long time I finally managed to get my hands on these, and it was well worth the wait.

Set up in under 60 secs and immediately noticed sounds in the xbox live dashboard I had never heard before.

Once I started gaming with them it was hard to believe there was so many sounds I never notice or heard before, they deliver superb sound and absolutely help pin point sounds ie gun fire, planes, choppers and footsteps ect - 1st 3 games I played on MW2 I came top, coincidence? Doubtful !

Anyone that requires 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound should defiantly consider this as a alternative option.

Are they worth the money? Well considering how much a game cost and how long some of the last, I feel these offer a great value for money.

I can hear things that I did not notice before, especially in games such as Modern Warfare ( air conditioning fans, flies buzzing, water dripping etc ).
They also give a good sense of distance and direction of sounds.
A nice touch is a second headphone out socket which allows another person to listen in while you shoot zombie nazies.
Love em.

Had these headphones for just over a week now and can't fault them at all for quality. Very easy to setup, sound is amazing, improvement in xbox live chat (at both ends) and so far I've had no problems with the batteries, must have managed at least 20 hours without them dying on me.
