Not cheap, but then again I like them so for me money well spent keeping the family happy.

Or have a look at these:

Supposed to be very good as well.

After much complaining from the girlfriend about continuous engine noises from Forza, I'd like to get some headphones too. However, those mentioned so far are out of my price range. Can anyone recommend some more budget options?
ETA ones on OP aren't out of price range, but are they any good?

Bad news. Unless there's a setting I don't know about, the headphones only transmit the voice of other players.

Everything else is still coming from the TV.

Perhaps one of the other Trutlebeach's, say the X3 or X1 series?

Or there's Tritton:

Otherwise its difficult to find anything specifically compatible for the 360.

Or its known to wear 2 sets at the same time, one 360 chat headphones (best would be wireless I suppose) with stereo headphones to tv, not that I would but people do.
