Hello,
My friend just bought the new XBox and 46inch LED HDTV. He wants to purchase a sound system that can complete the gaming rig. He lives in a room where sound leakage is a big problem so he is looking for headphones, not speakers.
He is willing to spend somewhere between 1000~1500.
Can anyone recommend any headphones/amps(if necessary) for XBox?
MIC is not needed since he does not play with others.
I don't even know if it is worth spending that much. Are the sources good enough to spend that much to bring out the best in sound? I personally play Starcraft II with HE5/EF5 combo with Cambridge DACmagic and they are nice, but.. the difference is not like ipod stock earphones with my SE530s or IE8s. I guess it depends on games. He told me he plays Call of Duty, winning eleven, Split Second, Battlefield 2 and some racing games.
I heard there are headphones that can support 5.1 channel surround sound. Would that be the best bet for gaming?
Thanks!
