i got astro A 50s excellent sound , and again not cheap but worth it
Triton 720's. They're awesome. 7.1 surround sound and they don't even feel like they're on your head
Qpad QH-90s - like feather pillows on my ears, and sound is astounding (if it wasn't so glitchy and poppy from ED !!)

The one I got with my Xbox. Untill after October when I save up for a Turtle Beach Headset.
Got myself a set of turtle beach ear force X O Four.
Expensive but worth every penny

I've got Turtle Beach Force XO Four. Damn good headset.
Same as you dude!! But my god do I get hot in them!!
SteelSeries Siberia Elite Prism Gaming Headset-Jet Black
If you fancy an extra blast and dont mind a bit of wiring for the mic i recommend getting a Turtle Beach DSS2 unit. Will add more Bass and helps make the 7.1 work without the need for a PC!

Stupid question from a traditional gamer: Do the headsets really give decent surround sound? How do you connect them to the Xbox One? My gaming setup is old school. Denon AVR 7 x 150W receiver with a pair of Neat Mystique II floorstanders, and ELAC surround speakers. Took about 3 months to balance the sound, but the sound for ED is just unbelievable. With a nice big LCD telly in the middle, I'm in the game. Not sure I'd like to play with headphones, but hey, it's my house and I'll make as much noise as I want.
In a nutshell, yes. I can place station tannoys and craft behind me as I fly, so imo it works.
I'm another Astro a50 user...took me 3-days to wrestle them into submission and work. When they work they are something else but before I would strongly recommend that people Google them and their faults before buying them.
Amazing tech! Had a quick look at the manual. Last time I looked at cans, they were £30 Sony ones with a 1/4" jack. Hah. Thanks for the reply.
I used to have some A50's but they broke after less than a month. Electrical fault they were on but wouldn't work and wouldn't turn off. Took them back to the store and the only headset in the price range they could exchange it for was a set of Turtlebeach XP510's which i still use to this day. Great sound quality. Work better on my Xb1 than they did my 360.
Polk 4 Shots. Love them!
Astro A50s here. No other headphones come close.

Make sure to get cloth ear pads that let the skin around your ears breath.
If you set the Team Speak thresholds properly, it eliminates all echo and your teammates won't hear any background noise. I love the way you can cut the mike simply by raising the boom to the upright position. Work great. Comfortable, great sound, easy to set up and the convenient boom activated mike on/off are all big pluses.
It's the price that hurts.

Mostly extremely loud Studio Monitors, Cam for Facetracknoir plus built-in mic and it still follows me ok.
Or sometimes AKG K271 Studio MKII semi-closed headphones. Cam mic works ok enough.
