Has anyone got any recommendations? My 10 year old is desperate for one for xmas and I don’t have a clue. Thanks.

Also, he seems to think he can use iPhone headphones temporarily on his Xbox until xmas. Is this the case? Thanks

Wireless Turtle beach elite stealths are excellent though they are expensive or
Stealth 600 gaming headset is a cheaper alternative and great too they work out about 100.00 for the cheaper ones.

I don't think you can use the iPhone headphones. There is a wired headset for around 30.

Go wireless. We've replaced about 20 headsets in the last two years alone, because apparently 10 year olds are incapable of pulling out wires with care Grin

There's a really good offer on the Turtle Beach wireless headset in Smyths at the moment. I paid £100 for it for myself last year and it's down to £59.99 at the moment. I've ordered it for my DS.

Make sure the one you get is Xbox One compatible as most wireless ones aren't.

Stealth 600 wireless if you can afford it £60.

Wired ones tend to last about a week in our house due to heavy handed 11yr old

iPhone headphones can’t be used for Xbox one unfortunately. Turtle beach is a good idea. If you are going to go for a wired headset you should try and take the Xbox controller in with you when you buy it (I recommend GAME). Some Xbox controllers have different headset connectors, and certain headsets won’t work with certain controllers (I think the older ones have a different connection), so best to take it once just to be on the safe side!

*best to take it IN
