Morning all,

Looking into getting a gaming headset for my Xbox One, mostly because the sound from my TV is pretty bad and I keep missing things in Fallout.

Anyway with the black friday nonsense going on it seems a good time to buy, so what's recommended?

Wired vs wireless - I sit around 2/3 metres from the screen so wireless would be ideal, but is the added convenience worth the extra cost? When it comes to headphones I always go for wired for the reliability factor, and not having to faff about charging... how long do these headsets last with a full charge?

Total noob to this, so any help appreciated.

Cheers
Dan

Thanks both, I've just been looking at the XO4 reviews on YouTube and a lot of people are comparing it to the Official Xbox one - I didn't actually know this existed but it seems good value at £35.

Going to head to PC world later on and check out both.

I don't think I'm "that" into gaming yet to spend daft money on a headset for surround sound - maybe in the future!

Just been out on lunch and spotted the Xbox official headset at £35 in a localish game shop. They didn't have the XO4 to compare but did have the XO one which is a bit cheaper. I went for the Xbox one!

thanks for the responses.
