Turtle Beach Ear Force X41 Wireless Headset for Xbox 360 (Refurbished) $55 + Free Shipping

if you want something for a similar price, check out the Plantronics GameCom 780. Basically the exact same price but made specifically for the PC.

Great deal. Just what I was looking for!

Definitely do not. Too much of a hassle. I own 3 pairs of these [newegg.com], and they are great and very affordable.

Quote from jwcdis : Don't, I bit a couple of weeks ago and it was a pain in the ass. to connect to PC, you either need a SPDIF output OR a RCA to 3mm converter The mic, I believe might work in SPDIF otherwise you'll have to connect through a PC xbox 360 controller or through a 2.5mm jack input. I regret purchasing this for PC without looking into the details.

thats the whole idea of having a really good pc build vs. junk made by dell/hp/lenovo/etc. The good ones will have all these connections by default.

i always look at review sites of the product if newegg cannot provide sufficient pics of all sides.

the fact that it gives you a complete digital stream via toslink is amazing. i dont think any other set of wireless cans does that.

I'm upgrading from the X41... should I go with the X42 or the XP500s?

They were ok when they were working. The fine people at Turtle Beach accepted my warranty claim. Some lucky soul will probably received my broken repaired pair. They were only 3 months old and broke all of a sudden.

Ordered these from there when they were 59 bucks and never received them! they took my money! But, when contacted the company, had no record of my order number or name. DO NOT ORDER FROM THESE GUYS!!! Save your time and money.

I use these for pc. Either buy a 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable from eBay or amazon or just a small connector from Radio shack. I went the connector route and plug in the mic into the front of my case and SPIDF for sound. No way to get the mic wireless from the receiver

so the mic will not work unless plugged in if using for pc?

Great! Bought 1 for my xbox 360. Thanks!

Hmm I will keep an eye on that, but if you go under My Account it already shows an order number for me.

Yes, there's a bit of occasional static, the batteries wear out unpredictably, etc., but I think there are workarounds. I bought the X41 set new for twice this (a year or so ago?), and was happy with the purchase. $55 seems like a good price.

As for the cable, I lost mine, and will not pay $25 for a new one. If you don't mind not having the volume/mute capability, you can pick up a standard 2.5mm stereo audio cable for under $5 shipped (from ebay, Amazon, etc.). Anyone find one with an inline volume control, please share. Seems like the only generic option for those is to buy a 3.5mm version and add a couple adapters.

I don't know for certain, but my hunch is the answer is "yes". On the Xbox, you have to connect a 2.5mm cable from the headphones to a 2.5mm mic/headset jack on the handheld game-controller in order to use the mic. For PC use, that probably makes this much less of a "wireless" solution (if you need the mic).
