And i need a new one, I was going to go for a large headset with a microphone but there is too many to chose fro
Can you recommend me one please?
I'm looking for a wired one that can use power from the Xbox itself or from AA batteries.
P.S The mic needs to be of high quality.
Thanks in advance.

I'm using Turtle Beach PX21s. Pretty good headset that costs between $60-90 depending on where you get them. If you want something cheaper I recommend the X11's.

Edit: forgot to ask, are you looking for a normal headset, or a set that you can also hear the game audio from?

Thanks. I'll probably get the X11's though as the amazon reviews seem favorable enough.
Any tips for setting up the headset?

Atleast you have a wireless backup.

Remember to research third party mics. A friend of mine bought one and I can hear the rumbling and even the green light as a high frequency beep. Like what the hell:P

I use the official Xbox wireless headset. I doubt it sucks compared to third party stuff, but it gets the job done. Been fairly durable, I've tossed it at a couple walls and never had it break.

Get an Astro headset if you can spring it, it's like $200, but the sound quality and microphone clarity for the other players is far superior.

" I have some X11's. the games sound awesome, the connections available for hooking it up are many and varied... there is a whine when you are hooked up to your controller, but once playing, you barely notice it. (just adjust the 'chat' volume) I just plugged it in and it worked "

I did a review on the Turtle Beach X11's here, if you want something really cheap but good and sturdy, get these.

If you're using HDMI and don't care about having the sound go through your TV at the same time, then just plug the sound into the headphone jack. If you want that sound, you need to get a super expensive Xbox HDMI with RCA sound adaptor, but I'm sure there is a way around it.

Don't get a headset, get a pair of decent headphones instead (Sennheiser HD555s, Audio Technica AD700s or ATH-M50) and a cheap separate mic. The cans will sound better than literally any gaming headset out there, and mics even at the 15-30 dollar price point are still crystal clear and sharp enough for gaming purposes.

The adapter is actually not that expensive anymore. "

Don't mean to sound like an asshole but if you're really comparing the sound quality to Skullcandy headphones (which are shit) then idk how much I'd trust your review...as with the directional audio/footstep thing, you'll find that any halfway decent gaming headset, or better (as I recommended) headphones designed for general use can do the same thing.
