Reddit reviews Turtle Beach - Ear Force XLa Gaming Headset - Xbox 360 (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Turtle Beach XLa Headset. Reasonable price and still as powerful as the heavy duty TB's.

I think you should at least give it a shot. As much as it can be frustrating because you don't have control over what other people do and they may take loot you want, etc., the game is also designed to be played in coop so there are a lot of cool things you will not experience if you only play solo, mainly in terms of the interactions and synergies between the different Vault Hunters' skills.

Like I said in a response below, the best way to do it is with friends but if that's not possible, be patient and consistently stay away from people who play like assholes (leave the game or kick them out of yours) and add nice people to your friend list in order to keep playing with them in the future. This has resulted in a lot of really satisfactory gameplay for me in BL2. Also, this subreddit can be a good resource to find cool people to play with.

Finally, as much as many people are ok with playing with you if you don't have a mic, it is something that really enhances the experience so maybe you could consider investing in one. You don't need to spend $100, there are more budget friendly options like this one or this one that some people will hate on but they work perfectly fine if you adjust your expectations to the amount of money you're spending and they will last if you treat them with care. Even this is an interesting option if you're on Xbox and I'm sure there's similar alternatives for other systems.

I believe it comes with an adapter for the xbox one

Looking for over-ear headphones for watching TV and some movies with an immersive experience. I need some form of volume control as I'm using an adapter to plug them into my cable box's RCA outputs, and my cable box does not have any method of adjusting its own audio separate from the TV. The main issue I'm having trying to find any is they're either Bluetooth (meaning the volume control won't even work in my use) or they have highly mixed reviews. Chief complaints of the Sennheiser RS120s are the deafening static when the audio stops and having to manually tune them to the device. I'm not crazy about wireless anyway as it means having to worry about charging or changing batteries. Last thing I want to do is do either of those things in the middle of a program.

Budget - ~$100 USD (flexible)

Source - Xfinity X1 Cable Box via RCA (male) to 3.5mm (female)

Requirements for Isolation - At least some would be nice. I'd only be using them in my bedroom so mostly just to block out some ambient noises like my fan and my dog.

Will you be using these Headphones in Public? No

Preferred Type of Headphone - Full-sized/over ear.

Preferred tonal balance - For TV balanced I guess?

Past headphones - Until recently I was using these with the RCA plugged into my cable box. Main things I liked were the volume control and amplified audio, as sometimes what I'm watching can be too loud or too low, and when I'm done I can just turn the volume down all the way instead of having to unplug them each time.

I play both console and PC, there's serious positives and negatives to both but I want to set a few things straight.

controllers, keep in mind this is the equivalent of buying a mouse and keyboard for PC gaming and Alot of PC gamers own $50+ mice/keyboards.

Yes first party Wireless controllers are $50 new, but they're usually on sale for $40 or less wired are $40 new but again usually on sale, I got mine a few months ago for $25

Also there's some decent enough third party controllers that cost less such as afterglow And some that cost a little more This is Xbox prices mind you, they're the more expensive of the two and there's considerably less third party support on the Xbox

Headsets

The best (in my opinion) mono set for the Xbox is $10 But usable ones are as cheap as [$5] (http://www.amazon.com/KMD-Xbox-360-Live-Gaming-Headset/dp/B003A71XKQ/ref=pd_cp_e_0). Stereo headsets cost a bit more at $30 and up but thats the same on the PC too.

Also console games drop in price relatively quickly with one exception, the COD series.

Otherwise I agree with you.
