Have an XBOX 360 and my kids are asking for a headset for olaying games - any inexpensive recommendations and things I need to be aware of when buying them?

Check target for the Turtle beach headsets. Dont go crazy spending $100 on them. I bought one for $30 I believe and they work just fine. No issues at all and I really enjoy them.

Agree. Amazon generally has them at close to if not the lowest price, too.

does the headset go directly into the xbox or will I need additional hardware?

Is there a way to hook up two headsets to the xbox?

So, those Bose CA 25 Noise reductions are amazing, but are the beatz $199 the same thing, or evne the CA 15's? Noise reductions? I am not the music master and while I can tell great sound, dont need it as I would also say I am only using these on the plane. So, can I get away dropping $150 and get the same thing?

But those Bose CA-25 Noise Reduction are just incredible! I know I wont be bummed if i buy them, might even use them for a cool movie, but figured i would ask.

Go with the Bose. Beats aren't even in the same class. You can go to a store like Target and listen to both of them. You'll immediately be able to tell the difference.

Bright green box.

Turtle Beach Xbox ones for sure. Little overpriced at the store but there are no worries about needing extra stuff in order to have them work right with the Xbox

My kid is happy with the headphone made by xbox at Walmart. $30 look like cheap beats with the mic thing.

My kid liked the turtle beach but they are not holding up to teens abuse so walmart as previously posted it is.
