I'm sure you all know about the Turtle Beach X1 headset I reviewed some time ago. Well, it has dropped down in price from the £55 I paid back in the day to £43.93 on Amazon.
If you're planning to play MW2 long term, as in not just complete the singleplayer, fuck about on multiplayer for a few weeks and move on, then this investment may be worth it to you. The TBX1 is also compatible with the PC so you can also take advantage of it when using our upcoming Ventrilo server if you didn't already have a headset.
This isn't the 'best' gaming headset, but it's the most popular because it's the most affordable for gamers intend using it with - which is to sound-whore on games like COD4. I know a lot of you are hyped about MW2 so I wanted to just remind you about considering a good headset which will not only improve your MW2 ownage potential, but also provide you with a good gaming headset for the Xbox 360 and PC.
A good headset makes a big difference in gametypes like Search & Destroy where people use Dead Silence a lot. Because you can still easily hear them moving around with a headset like the X1. Whilst on the subject of Dead Silence, since every perk has an 'upgraded' version you can unlock by using it frequently, it has got me wondering what an upgraded version of Dead Silence would do... Maybe it will completely mute your footsteps?
