I currently have just a cheap desktop mic for the PC and a pair of headphones. I bought the turtle beach XL1s for the Xbox and I really like them, so I'm thinking about buying the X11's since they work for both. And they work for headphones too. Anyone have opinions on turtle beach? Just post them here so I know, and if you have any suggestions for other cheap but good quality headsets just let me know.

I use x12s and they are perfectly fine and dandy. I can easily switch from xbox and pc with 1 plug. And the price is good at $60. Dont go for any of the expensive wireless ones tho, they suck.

I have x12s and they broke in about a week but I guess that's because I'm bad at taking care of headsets

Get headphones and a microphone separately. Headsets are very unreliable - if your microphone breaks, you have to replace the entire thing which is incredibly stupid. You'll get 2x the quality for the price you are paying.

a lot of times you can good quality headphones but the attached microphone sounds like utter horseshit and vice versa

Then you sir have never bought a quality headset!
I use this: http://www.edimensional.com/product_info.php?products_id=122 (http://www.edimensional.com/product_info.php?products_id=122)
Great sounds, wired (Which I prefer), you sound good with it, makes me sound five years older (People say I sound 30ish). And it is just so comfortable, plus if you read and realize how *** Skype is and use TeamSpeak this is perfect. I took a risk not using a company I usually buy my stuff from but I am glad I did. Had this one for a while and its been lasting me for ages.

The Skullcandy SLYR is an amazing headset that has an amazing mic. Plus they are extremely comfortable. Probably the most underrated headset of all time. However as Rofl stated, it is a good idea to get decent headphones and a usb mic. Paying over $100 for a headset is just not necessary.

Get the H600 from Logitech, it's a wireless USB headset, amazing sound quality, up to 10 meters range, not chained to your desk by cables, I got my for 70 dollars (it was like 60, then tax and I got a 2 year warranty for 7 dollars) Great microphone quality, too. 6 hour battery life. The USB charger cable is compatible with smartphones to, so if you loose the one in the box you can take a Samsung/Motorola/anything but an Apple charger and plug it into your comp or a wall. I seriously suggest this, you can get it at Target.
