CAGiversary!
I searched for a definite answer but only found scattered nuggets of info here and there. I thought it would be good to a centralized thread for ps3 users. From the research I gathered, the decision comes down to Turtle Beach's Ear Force px21 + TB's Ear Force dss unit vs tritton ax 720 or pros.
I'm interested in having a headset more for sound than voice. Unfortunately, late night gaming can't wake up others. Also, I read that these options aren't the best for movie and audio but are fantastic for game sounds. While the Ear Force x11, x31, and x41 are targeted for the 360 crowd, the px21 is targeted towards the ps3 crowd. The dss unit adds a surround sound environment to your sounds. I read that people say that you can hear others sneaking up on you in fps games. I listed the major choices with msrp pricing. I love the feature on both models that allow you to muted voice for those tween trashtalk or rages.
I know a few of us - Kefka and Option, have already or going to be testing these products. I appreciate any advice on this "pricey" decision. Or any others? I wish there was a place that you can test how these things fit on your head. The TB ones look like regular headphone cups and the trittons look like rectangular helmet. So any clues on:
* quality
* fit
* durability - will it break on me in a month/etc?
* ease of use - does it weight like a ton of bricks on your head after some many hours?
* stimulated surround sound (dss) vs true surround sound (AX PRO)
* others - astro a40? senheisener?
