Headphones

by **Able87** on Thu Dec 31, 2009 11:56 am

I know there's been a few posts on headphones before, but is there a general consensus on which ones are the best?

Cheers.

Are you wanting a new pair to put on the floor?

by **darkhorse** on Thu Dec 31, 2009 11:59 am

Earforce x1's are pretty good, but they come complete with about a mile of bl00dy cable!

by **Able87** on Thu Dec 31, 2009 11:59 am

I need some decent ones for COD. As I'm having to turn the sound down low late on not to wake anyone.

Well if they have better quality in terms of my voice, your all going to get slaughtered on Fifa.

Useless bunch of mofo's.

by **Able87** on Thu Dec 31, 2009 12:13 pm

These Horsey?

Cheers mofo'

Also, Darkhorse, whilst your lurking. STAY IN A BLOODY GAME!

by **LTS_3** on Thu Dec 31, 2009 1:13 pm

Yeah I got the Turtle Beach X1 for xmas, absolutely brilliant - especially for late night gaming which is when I get on most - FIFA is quality on it can hear all sorts in the crowd

Only one slight grievance is the amount of cable but keep it tied up and it's fine

by **Stepper_T** on Thu Dec 31, 2009 1:55 pm

They are superb. You'll be able to hear yourself flounce.

by **Able87** on Thu Dec 31, 2009 1:58 pm

Or the ball smashing off the advertising hoardings as you kick it out for the umpteenth time.

by **Able87** on Tue Jan 05, 2010 2:57 pm

I've ordered those ones I put from Game. Cheers for that link Bailster but they were out of stock.

Also, I found a voucher site and got 5 pound off as it was over 30 quid so ended up paying 37 pound.

I'll be even better at COD now............ sheesh.

by **Boro85** on Tue Jan 05, 2010 3:07 pm

I was carrying you in the first 5 or 6 games yesterday and I was level 1 ffs.

by **Barney Rubble** on Tue Jan 05, 2010 3:12 pm

Level 1 ??? All that effort and you haven't levelled up yet ????

by **Able87** on Tue Jan 05, 2010 3:13 pm

You were getting high scores, but high deaths. I'm happy getting good K/D's that's my plan now. I want to get it up to 3.0

by **Tomdoodle** on Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:21 pm

Haven't been on for a while, have you caught up with me yet?

by **Able87** on Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:40 pm

Last time I checked it was 2.05 or something. But just got a 17-0 on Scrapyard and 23 - 4 on Favela.

I'm aiming to get to 3 K/D

Woah woah woah! I was getting better K-Ds then you mofo. Mine improved by 0.04 last night going from level 1 to level 14, which is ruddy hard work once you've played so many hours.

by **Able87** on Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:46 pm

I remember a few were we started that you were topping the scoreboards, but I was getting overall better K/Ds.

I'm starting to become a camping nOOb though in my quest to get it as high as possible.

Early prestiging is good fun, you can go up a few levels in one map. I'll soon have to decide wether to do it all again.

May aswell.

by **skiprat** on Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:49 pm

My first go in a week last night (on COD in general also) with you all... straight to the top of the leaderboard with the highest K/D.

by **Able87** on Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:50 pm

Are there any websites like there are with Fifa/Halo where you can view your COD stats?

by **Stepper_T** on Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:57 pm

Try this

by **Able87** on Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:58 pm

Doesn't work mate.

Any more suggestions.

Are you still upset that you got kicked off beautifulpeople.com?

I remember going for a 3 on World at War, I think I got to the business end of 2.7 before stopping out of boredom. Same reason I stopped on MW2, that was still generally going up but just got a little bored of it after a month or so.

Will take you fucking ages though, when I was going for 2.5 a while ago I needed something like 2000 kills without a death to get to it from 2.12, and since you've been playing for much longer you've got a lot of graft to get through.

Good luck though, if anyone has the time on their hands to do it :wink:

by **Able87** on Tue Jan 05, 2010 5:05 pm

Cheeky twat. [|)]

by **Able87** on Thu Jan 14, 2010 3:59 pm

Got them today, have to say they are absolutley spot on.

Had a quick blast on COD, and I'm picking up noises I could never hear before. Even sat in the middle bit on Wasteland I could tell which way people were coming from.

On Karachi people running about in buildings were doomed.

Simply stunning.

Also, I can turn off the mic/listening to you mofo's whilst getting sound through them. Perfect.

by **darkhorse** on Thu Jan 14, 2010 4:04 pm

Why do you bother playing team deathmatch games, Able?

They're like that on FIFA too - I played Ormesbyred we were two Brazilian teams - it was like there was a street carnival in my front room the amount of noise/music coming from the crowd!

by **darkhorse** on Thu Jan 14, 2010 4:35 pm

Far too much cable though

by **Able87** on Thu Jan 14, 2010 4:45 pm

darkhorse wrote:Why do you bother playing team deathmatch games, Able?

What do you mean?

The cable isn't too much of a problem, just lobbed it all behind my tele.

I'm sure when I've just been playing Fifa there the Arsenal fans were shouting "Stepper T is a wanker, is a wanker. Stepper T is a wanker, is a wanker"

by **darkhorse** on Thu Jan 14, 2010 6:20 pm

Do they still make x4 wireless ones? Can you get them in shops?

by **Captain5** on Fri Jan 15, 2010 12:06 pm

I'm thinking these may be a necessity, now.

Worth the money??

I've asked our lass to get me some for Valentine's but that didn't go down too well, for some reason.

by **LTS_3** on Fri Jan 15, 2010 12:08 pm

Absolutely worth the money, think mine were £36.99 off eBay (new)

Not cheap though!

by **LTS_3** on Fri Jan 15, 2010 12:47 pm

£139.99

I think for the sake of a couple of wires, we could all survive being £100 better off!!!

by **darkhorse** on Fri Jan 15, 2010 12:48 pm

you're not kidding!

by **Able87** on Fri Jan 15, 2010 1:22 pm

Kirk, they are absolutley amazing, I can't recommend them highly enough.

There's quite a bit of wire but it's nothing you can't roll up and hide.

by **Captain5** on Fri Jan 15, 2010 3:21 pm

I might have to get some. Just remembered that I need to pay for Live this month as well.

Best off buying it month by month aren't I??

by **skiprat** on Fri Jan 15, 2010 4:13 pm

Yeah just make you go throuugh Ste's affiliate link.

by **Captain5** on Fri Jan 15, 2010 4:39 pm

Yep, that's the idea.

by **skiprat** on Fri Jan 22, 2010 11:19 am

Got these delivered yesterday and had a few blasts on COD last night with them, excellent!

Great when you can hear people walking close to you in the snow. :mrgreen:

by **darkhorse** on Fri Jan 22, 2010 11:27 am

Did you get X1's skiprat?

by **Able87** on Fri Jan 22, 2010 12:31 pm

Top quality aren't they mate.

Definitley improves COD.

by **skiprat** on Fri Jan 22, 2010 1:54 pm

I did DH.

The sound is decent on my monitor set up as well but those are something else.

by **Boro85** on Wed Jan 27, 2010 11:44 pm

Ordered a pair

by **darkhorse** on Thu Jan 28, 2010 9:51 am

Mine are going back. It says on the box I can 'play like a pro'. When I put them on, there is no discernable difference to my playing abilities, such as they are. Disappointing.
