Kaito, that mic is for chat only. Your game sound is thru your TV or surround sound system. Cool.

Being hearing impaired, I perfere loud headsets but I want to be able to hear my platoon mates. So far the Astro A40 headset with the sound reduction kit has done great. If I need to I can tirn dowm game noise so I can hear what my buds are saying. Its not cordless, but it works really well. Also the sound reducing mic kills all the unwanted sounds like dogs barking and other TVs so my buds don't have to hear that.

I use an Afterglow Lvl 3 wired headset. I used to use Turtle Beach, but when my last TB headset (X12) broke apart after less than a year I chose to not get another of that brand.

Turtle Beach Stealth 420's. I have found on all the Turtle Beach headphones I have tried, the cushioning gets uncomfortable after a while as they're a bit stiff and unyielding. Would use my PC's Sennheiser gaming headphones as they stay comfy for hours, but no, Mickysoft have to make things difficult... No gripes about the sound quality on the TB's though.

Thanks for post, I'm sure there are others that may need the unique features like mic noise reduction & quick game volume adjustability.

They are the one's I'm looking at now. How do find the game chat & sound quality. How long does the charge last.

I recently got the Turtle beach Stealth 420's. Awesome sound, left side right side accurate and lots of mobility. I think my three month old daughter wouldnt recognize me with them off lol. Same here. These have great sound and are very comfortable.

I use Steel Series Siberia II, and I am looking to switch to a pair of sennheisers soon, because these things add a little bit of extra bass (I don't like adding EQ that I didn't add!) and because of friends informing me that they can hear themselves slightly echoing back through my mic. I turn my headphones up like fisticuffs.

Astro A40. Have had them since the 360 days. Got them for many reasons, but back then I was playing bf3 almost exclusively, including some comp.
as as already mentioned in this thread, being able to mix the game and chat volume to my liking is big. Can customize to each game and situation, in or out of party chat, etc.

Do you use the MS adapter with your A 40?

Yes, using the adapter, but I think some of the newer xbox controllers have the correct port so you don't need an adapter.

Had Astro A50's for the 360 and loved them.
When I came over to the One, I bought a pair of Astro A50 Gen2's.
The mic stopped working a long time ago. I had sent them to Astro and they said they could not replicate the problem.
So now, if my daughter is asleep, I use the Astro's for the sound and have the standard One headset as my mic.

Thanks Jester, I was just looking at this headset for a replacement. I'm concerned the problem you have & the price you invested in them. So you are using the old A50's with a MS adapter ?

No, I actually forgot that there was an adapter.
In the future I probably won't buy another set.
The 360 version never gave me problems though, so there's that.

Bought a pair of Turtle Beach PX24s for my first ever platooning/headset experience. They seemed to work fine from my end.

Just the Xbox ONE stereo headset. It's cheap at around £35, and is pretty damn decent.
