ive been playing with headphones ever since gears of war 2....if you take the game serious you gotta break down strategies in the headphones, its like having dispatch by your whole team, and if you have good headphones you can adjust the microphone level versus the people talking, so if you want the talking to be kinda like in the background of the match, thing i didnt like about chap headphones or bluetooths is it dosent put you in the game like trtle beach ones do.....but mostly im kickin it with someone on siccness so were chopping it up while playin...but i always hear footsteps..shit has me mad noid every game i dont play withotu headphones nuless i plug my comp speakers in my tv for surround sound cuz i wont hear shit..and i can plug my headphones in my computer and my xbox at the same time so i can listen to music on my comp and still hear the match and people in the game
