The Bottom Line It's expensive, but the Logitech Cordless Headset is a luxury every deep-pocketed Xbox Live player should consider. The Xbox Live-friendly Turtle Beach Ear Force AXT delivers immersive surround sound to gamers willing to deal with the cumbersome design. The Plantronics GameCom X30, the company's stylish follow-up to its Halo 2 Edition headset for Xbox Live, is an upgrade from the standard Xbox 360 headset and won't interfere with eyewear. With their accurate 5.1-channel separation, the Turtle Beach Ear Force X4s are great surround-sound headphones for the Xbox 360--or any other home theater component.
