So, I think I'm going to get a Turtle Beach headset. But, I just wanted to know if they are worth it. I'm getting this one:

For 30 bucks (+ shipping and handling). So, are they worth it? Or should I not get it?

I've been thinking about getting a headset for my PS3, and I really want to get some Skullcandies

Either those or Turtle Beach P21's which are like 10 bucks cheaper.

And in terms of worth, (sorry for double post) if you game a lot, I'd recommend picking a headset up since it helps for soundwhoring (hearing footsteps)

I do game a lot. But a few months after I got my xbox, my headset (it came with the xbox broke. So now, I am determined to get a turtle beach. But, there is no way I am paying a 100 bucks for an Earforce x3. Can you still hear foot steps with the Earforce x1?

Gaming Headsets wouldn't be around if they didn't give you the ability to hear people's footsteps, so yes, you can.

Turtle Beach are apparently a beautiful headset. They're actually surprisingly expensive, but they're at the forefront of Xbox 360's headset market. If you can fork out the cash, these are definitely the best choice, any one from the franchise. However, make sure you're using them for more than hardcore gaming, you can hear footsteps with any cheap-o headset and the only reason you'd want a seriously proper gaming headset is to hear the footsteps louder, but that's a waste of $100, make sure you have CDs and crap to listen to quality music etc.

Skullcandies are also pretty nice brands but aren't specifically targeted at gamers. They've got pretty good quality sound, not as good as Turtle Beach's as far as I'm aware. A lot of the money goes into their unique and colourful designs.

Earforce I wouldn't bother with. Never heard of them, and if they're not famous they probably didn't do too well.

You've still got quite a bit of practice to do, but you're definitely a pretty good quickscoper. I'd say you want to upload videos of entire matches, montages do not prove skill, of course in a week a skilled player is likely to get three minutes of nice kills. Getting a good score throughout an entire game is what really shines talent. That's why Machinima upload full game videos but not montages.

Nonetheless, keep practising you seem pretty good.

I'm getting the Turtle Beach Ear Force x1
I got it for a steal at Amazon for 30 bucks! (including shipping and handling)

Earforce is a line of Headsets that Turtle beach has. Thanks for all the information, Elite
