Currently a third off, which sort of sucks for me as it was £37 earlier in the week, when I asked for a headset for Christmas, meaning I'm probably getting the single side chat headset (as it's only £19.99).
But hey, this isn't about me and my first world problems.

I have the earlier black style of these and they sound great, are very comfy and very solidly built (don't know why people have commented otherwise tbh?)
The main downfall of them is mic monitoring, if you use the adapter you can't mic monitor for some reason, you can plug them straight into newer controllers with the 3.5 jack and mic monitor but then you lose volume control etc on the fly- you have to go into the menu settings to turn up/down volume etc, it's a very poor design.
Now in fairness these are a newer model of mine so that may have changed and if your purely using them as a sound not talking headset you'll be more than happy with them.

I wouldn't recommend the official ones you can get Turtle Beaches for a similar price that will last a lot longer.

I don't mind alternatives, but where was the alternative?
Although given that William joined in 2013 and that was his only comment to date, he must really like Turtle Beach :smiley:

Lol, these threads are always populated with people who'd pay extra for X.

Thats the point of this site, people comment on and vote for deals/ripoffs and offer alternatives...
good price but like many I find the Turtle Beach XO series much better quality for not that much more

great deal considering you get the adapter that sells for 20 on its own

Also works with the PS4 as well. It's an ok headset.

I also have the astro a50s, and I find the mic one these better (the official Xbox One ones), you don't have to be nearly eating the mic for it to pick up your voice, obviously the sound on the a50s is better due to it being 7.1 but for the money the Xbox ones are awesome, and very comfy too. for this price it's a steal.

good headset, I have one, it is only stereo though. you can adjust mic monitoring quite well one the newer controllers thought the settings on your Xbox.

A friend of mine uses one of these and the mic level is pretty poor I find :confused:

Hopefully better than my Gioteck, I can barely hear my friends but they all get a perfect echo of themselves. It's actually impressive how badly it works.

does this come with a headset adaptor for older controllers or is it more like the chat headset where it's just built in?

Good price, but in my opinion they feel kind of cheap. I would rather pay a little extra and go for Turtle Beach XO.

I'm not about to argue with Captain "Cutter" Spaulding.
