Durable Headsets?

So a couple months back I bought a pair of Steel Series 5xb's and as of yesterday they no longer work... So I was wondering if anybody could recommend a good headset with a decent build quality, btw I don't throw headsets the 5xb's just sort of gave up. Thanks in advance.

Ive used Turtle Beaches alot. I still got one headset, these days I dont really use as much as I probably should though. Its just the basic X1s. TBs always work for me for a long time. Ive had those X1s since modern warfare 2. And I used em everyday up til a few months ago. TBs are pretty reliable. The one time I decide to spend extra and get some astros, they broke quick. One of the ears stopped with the sound, made no sense. So id reccomend any Beaches of the Turtle variety

Yeah, I always use TB's for my console games, nothing else ever really works as well

Get astros. They're my best investment yet.

turtle beaches are good, got my first pair years ago and they are still going now!
( I don't use them now cause I got an upgrade but they still work good)

All depends on how much you're willing to spend. Astro's are going to the best, but also tend to be the most expensive. When it comes to entry-level headsets, you can go with either Turtle Beach or Tritton. You can go either wired or wireless, which essentially act the same way, but the wireless ones, if they are not the rechargeable kind, will eat batteries like crazy.

Turtle Beach X12's (wired) are the ones I use. Decent quality and build for a cheap price. The Tritton equivalent, the AX180, is a great headset which, imo, fits more ergonomically and comfortably than any TB headset. Downside is they have a much lower volume ceiling.

Honestly, the best bang for your buck, I think, would be the Tritton Primer, especially if you're using it exclusively on a 360. It's cobranded by microsoft, so you know you're getting quality, and it's also wireless (2 AA's).
