5.1 headphones for Xbox360

Hi all,

After the help I got on here, I've managed to sort out the audio wires into
an adaptor to get sound on headphones, but I only have small stereo ones.

Anyone know of a good pair of 5.1 headphones and where to get em?

Cheers!

The Gadget Show on channel 5 reviewed 3 pairs on their last show, said that
a pair from Creative were nice, about 50 quid

Not sure on the model though

They look nice and a good price but only states a USB lead, does that mean
they'll plug diectly into the 360 and stream the audio through the USB cable
or will I still be able to connect the headphones to my red/white to one
plug adaptor?

Robochimps was in purchase-mode six months back and will doubtless drag
his sorry arse into this thread at some point.

He was indeed, and got these:

I'm very pleased with them and they're Live compatible to re. the headset.

You can pick them up on Amazon too.

I wasn't that impressed with these unfortunately. I tested two pairs, the
first pair were faulty but headphoneworld were good about returns and
replacements even though they messed it all up a bit. I got my refund
eventualy though.

They sound a little boxy and I was hard pressed to hear the advantages of
5-1. If your not too worried about this however they are probably the best
5-1 game headphones about.

I bought a pair of Beyer Dynamic DT 990's which give your ears blows jobs
they are THAT GOOD.
