 | For chatting? Just buy another normal headset For late night gaming? I bought the Tritton AX360 5.1 Was great for playing late at night and not waking anyone up, yet still enjoying surround sound. Also give you a pretty big advantage in games like COD4. Can hear people scratching their ass from the other end of the map |

| Then I'd seriously recommend the Tritton's. They're a little more pricey than the Turtle Beach headsets but the Turtle Beach's are only stereo, whereas the Tritton's are Dolby Certified 5.1, but that's obviously dependent on what you're looking for. TRITTON Technologies, Inc. - TRIGA600 AX360 If you get these, grab this too, Datel Headset Adapter on Microsoft Xbox 360 from Gameseek.co.uk - The Webs Favourite Gamestore That way you can mute your mic normally, instead of having to take out the cable whenever you don't want people to hear your conversation. |

| Don't think I could justify spending that on a headset  I have the official wireless one and the official wired one, I find the wired one is actually better - as the wireless one plays up when the battery is low, I find myself having to repeat myself all the time cos I got cut off mid-sentence. |

| It is rather expensive, but they work with your PS3, 360, DVD, TV, PC & Mac, and they're, as stated, 5.1 Surround Sound Headphones |

No mute button, a pain in the arse to put on (especially with long hair and glasses) and generally poor value for money. | |

| If your looking for a late night gaming headset with no mic then your best buy would be the Sennheiser HD 555's, they cost around £50-60 but are probably one of the best headsets around. Here's a link: Sennheiser HD 555 - Open High End Quality Headphones: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo |
