Headphones

What's happenin' guys and girls.

So today I have ordered a set of gaming headphones as I am badly in need of something along the lines of a mic but also great headphones. I started as one should with most problems in life, Google. I put up a search of gaming headphone companies and came along Turtle Beach. Now I love Turtles and I also love the beach, so it's a perfect one-two right? Now the Turtle Beach guys seem to have a leading product in the shape of the X11s. These are predominantly XBOX headsets only but it seems to that most or all of the Turtle Beach headphones while being a certain gaming type, can be used for the trio (XBOX, PS and PC). This is a smart tactic on their part because how people do you know with just a singular console nowadays, present company excluded (PC4L). Now upon doing a little bit of research it seems that the X11s while being great low budget, very decent headphones. It would probably be best to go for PC ones first. I then find the Z2 Gaming Headset; they are made for the PC but can be used on XBOX (although not PS on first looks). They can also be plugged in to the Wired/Wireless XBOX controller for the PC, for those of us who love Fifa and Pro Eve. This reminds me, I need to do a post on Fifa VS Pro Eve.

Now, what every single person in the world should be when buying any sort of electric type equipment. GET FEEDBACK! As you can see on the Z2 link, only one person has reviewed this headset. Here is where the smart part of your brain needs to listen. Copy the name of whatever you are looking to buy and YouTube, it's that simple. This will honestly help you out so much, when searching for "Turtle Beach Ear Force Z2 Gaming Headset." Thirteen results are produced, five of them being review videos. These reviews allow you the chance to hear from people who have used endless amount of headsets or just people who have bought the Z2 as their first one. It also allows you to really see the product, how it looks in light, how long cables could be, how big it actually is compared to a picture. I watched Turtle Beach Ear Force Z2 Video Review and decided that this video was enough for me to purchase the product. So I went back to the Amazon link and looked at prices of other retailers thanks to Invisible Hand, which I linked in a previous post. I found that while Amazon was offering the Z2 at a decent price of £46.78. Invisible Hand allowed me to see that Zavvi hand them at a steal £37.85. That's a damn good saving of £8.93. Both sites offer free P&P which is always good. So it's been a worthwhile experience just by using some common sense and getting the right tools to help myself, in this case, get the best deal. Cause otherwise you're gimping yourself, ya big gimp.
