Dont know want you want for crimbo!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tritton-Technologies-AXPRO-Gaming-Headset/dp/B001N4PU4S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1260023763&sr=8-1-fkmr0

i replaced the tutrle beach headsets as sumtimes id hear a slight hiss from them which was annoying also the game chat wasnt the best so i tried the Tritton's out in the store and they sound 10x better..

The main reason i got them was ive moved my 360 in the office and my 5.1 surround is all set up in the living room and trust me they are the next best thing to all the speakers and the subwoofer! i picked them up over here at $199
but i think they go for 140notes in the UK.
