So far, I can honestly say that I'll never be able to play without them, or a better, newer headset. They have stereo surround sound built right into the headphones and they're wireless, which is great because there are no wires running from the tv to the headphones. I hear sounds in the game I've never heard before. Since game volume and XBL communication volume are controlled using two separate dials, I can turn game volume up and mute my buddies when times get clutch. I can hear footsteps like never before. If somebody reloads on the other side of the map or plants a claymore, I know what direction it came from and (when I'm used to the headset) how far away it is.

Does anybody else use a gaming headset on something other than PC? If so, please discuss!

I heard they don't entirely mute your footsteps, just turn the volume EXTREMELY low. I'm not sure, though. If that's the case, I'm sure I could hear them but only with my game volume turned up high.

Does anybody wanna clarify whether Ninja mutes your footsteps or just makes them very quiet?
