Turtle Beach Ear Force XP510 or PX51 Headset only $99.95 + postage on COTD. I'm still trying to decide whether I should get it for my PC gaming (if it works) or not as I've been looking for a headset for a while.

Cheapest on staticice is $294.47

XP510 are SOLD OUT

edit: PX51 is also on sale for $99.95 - I've changed the link to the PX51s instead of the XP501s which are out of stock.
Both the XP510 and PX51 are eligible for free posting. Previously there were issues with receiving free postage for the PX51.

The deal has been extended for another 24 hours - again.

    This support article gives more information for using with PC:
    http://www.turtlebeach.com/support/entry/830517212/

    To work on a PC you need to have:
    - a Dolby Digital Live (DDL) sound card with a digital optical S/PDIF output
    - a Bluetooth interface

    • pointblank on 17/04/2014 - 10:43

      Thanks a lot for the info and link. I don't know a lot about sound cards but I bought the xps8700 from dell: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/125071

      It doesn't mention anything about a sound card in my specs so it's probably just the on board one, do you know if that would support DDL?

    The review makes it look really good:

    He mentions needing a AV adapter to get it to work on the original Xbox 360. That means it speaks either RCA or optical; you can get a USB optical adapter for $17 off eBay. Not sure what you'd use to get the mic working, but it does do Bluetooth headset & gaming simultaneously, so that could be an option.

    • ro0sta on 17/04/2014 - 12:00

      That adapter is included in the package, it plugs into the bottom of the X360 controller and acts as a bluetooth adapter, so you can have wireless chat without running a cable (but a cable is included to run between headset and controller if you'd prefer it that way). It's a bulky adapter but doesn't get in the way.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/04/2014 - 16:25

      Lithium polymer battery, non-removable, meaning I can't use my eneloop batteries bought from DSE previously.

      It doesn't qualify for free shipping, $8.59 shipping to metro area I checked.

      Can confirm P&H is free; I just ordered on.

      Looks like the XP510 is the "XBox360" one; comes with optical/RCA/BT inputs.
      XP51 is the "Playstation 3/4" model, comes with optical/BT inputs. I think the only difference is in the ease of mic->console connection.

    um…this is a ridiculously fantastic deal. I upgraded to this from the Astro A50s and never looked back.

    • pointblank on 17/04/2014 - 10:38

      Do you use this on PC or just the xbox360?

      • carlscott1982 on 17/04/2014 - 10:52
        +3

        actually, just for ps3/ps4 and they do a fantastic job on movies. They come with about 50 presets and you can make your own with the software.

        • emerson on 17/04/2014 - 11:12

          Do you use chat on PS4? Did it come with the cable (headphones to dual shock) or you had to buy that separately?

        • carlscott1982 on 17/04/2014 - 16:13
          +1

          Sorry Emerson, haven't used it. I'm not much of an online gamer. Apparently all you need for PS4 chat is in the box, you just need to upgrade the headset to the latest firmware via their software to use it.

  • ShamelessBargains on 17/04/2014 - 10:47

    Does anyone think these are good value? Was just browsing the headphones on cotd. Thanks

    Google doesnt have much info on this, anyone used both?

    EDIT

    XP510 is optimised for Xbox
    PX51 is optimised for PS3

      Indicated with the letter in their model numbers usually - P=PS, X=Xbox XP=both. I eventually settled on this headset after looking at the top of the line products from other companies.

      I have my gaming devices and TV connected to my Denon amp…if this is plugged in to a separate USB power source (always on) and connected to your amp, you can use it for ANY A/V device plugged into your amp, including foxtel. compatable with 360,ONE,PS3,PS4 too.

      • bargainhunter on 17/04/2014 - 12:32

        What's the connection between this and your amp? 3.5mms from the phones outlet?

  • ro0sta on 17/04/2014 - 11:53

    I have a pair of these and have been pretty impressed with the quality for a wireless headset. They can get a bit uncomfortable after a couple of hours, so you might find the odd review here and there about someone who thinks thy are aweful because they probably wear them 10 hours a day. I have about $260 for these 4 months back, so this is a massive deal. If you need a gaming headset, this is top of the line for TurtleBeach.

    • pointblank on 17/04/2014 - 12:14

      Thanks for the info roosta. Have you tried using an xbox/playstation headset on pc before? I'm curious about the quality. I bought the XP510 so I guess I'm committed now!

      • ro0sta on 17/04/2014 - 12:46

        I play very few games on the PC and I'm in the middle of upgrading parts of my desktop so have only been using the laptop recently, meaning I can't really answer your question.

      • pointblank on 18/04/2014 - 12:15

        I remember when Diablo III first came out they had a "deal" for 'limited stock' where you could buy the game for something like $20. They advertised this very heavily on facebook etc. So I decided to sign up and get the deal. Me and my friends were refreshing and then the time came and the site slowed down and every copy was gone - it was sold out in less than a second! I'm pretty sure that Australian consumer law states that they have to have a 'reasonable' amount of stock at an advertised price but they obviously didn't. As a result there were a lot of angry people though I don't know if COTD still does the same thing now.

  • theworks on 17/04/2014 - 12:45

    It SUCKS for pc gaming. Why? Well, the bluetooth microphone sounds like youre living in a tin can. Not to mention other issues you get with a bluetooth connection (drops, pairing issues if the headset goes flat mid game) etc. Not to mention you dont need to go through the annoyances of a wireless headset when youre basically sitting on top of your box. You just dont need it. Get a wired headset and save yourself headaches.

    However, if youre kicking back on the lounge with a console I think its justified.

    • ro0sta on 17/04/2014 - 12:47
      +1

      Yeah probably the one knockback is the microphone, I expect a LOT better for what I paid…I've only used it with the X360 and it's pretty poor but audible for online chat scenarios.

      • theworks on 17/04/2014 - 12:49
        +1

        It gets the job done, but theres a massive tradeoff with bluetooth. Note that the input is great, you get great audio over wifi, but the headset wont transmit wifi which is where the bluetooth comes in.. and bluetooth bandwith is severly limited.

        • Save Medicare on 17/04/2014 - 13:41

          Thanks for the heads up theworks and roosta. I almost bought one to replace my ps3 wireless headset which I use for PC, which has really terrible mic performance too.

  • AdamWarcraft on 17/04/2014 - 13:05

    After do goggle thing, IMO the main difference between XP510 & PX51 is ;

    XP510 : got XBA bluetooth adapter for xbox 360.
    PX51 : got wired xbox talkback cable.

    I think better to buy the XP510 considering all the same specification..
    but if those who prefer the blue color instead green pick the PX51.
