This headset is at a great price for what you get. Being all wireless with no chat cable anymore is really nice to have. The voice prompts are really nice to have as well. The only issue I have with this headset, which might make me return this is. It has a auto turn off feature that you can't turn off. It basically shuts off the headset after 10 mins of no audio or chatting (to save battery). My problem is, with this hooked up to my computer with that phone cable that comes with the headset. I always get a voice prompt saying the headset is going to shut off, please press and hold the power button to cancel this. It is really annoying because I am listen to music on my Itunes account and I have no idea why this wants to shut down when there is music playing. The only way to get rid of this is to play your music really loud on the headset. Otherwise it will want to auto shut down. But on the Xbox One it is no issue. Also when I use them on my PC for listen to music, I disconnect the mic. This issue really needs to be fixed. It's driving me crazy. lol But if you can live with the auto shut off feature, then you will be fine with this headset. Its a good gaming headset for 129.
I would recommend this to a friend!

These are hands down the best headset I've had with turtle beach. I tried the 500x for the Xbox One. But they felt really cheap, sound quality was ok and the volume on them didn't get very loud. So I decided to take back the turtle beach 500x and spend a bit more money to get the elite 800's. Now it does suck to lose the all wireless part of the 500x, But the elite 800's were made for the ps4. So I knew it still needed to chat adapter to work. But after holding the headset in my hands for the first time, they finally felt like a real high end headset. All my turtle beach headsets felt like cheap plastic which I wasn't a fan of, since you spend a decent amount of money on nice headsets. But anyways the charging base is awesome. Just drop your headset on the dock and it charges right up, that's a nice little feature and the fact that this headset works on PS4, Xbox One, PC and your phones. That to me was a big plus. The sound quality was really good with lots of presents to choose from. The app on your phone is pretty cool and being able to change settings right from there and see your battery life was awesome. I definitely feel like you get your 300 dollars worth out of this headset and It works great on my Xbox One. The only down fall to this headset is that, the buttons are really easy to press by accident. I do it all the time when sitting in my chair. But hopefully they can do an update where we can press a button for so long, then it will put the headset on a hold or something. So buttons don't get pressed by mistake. Note that this headset uses a 3.5 to 3.5mm jack to the Xbox One controller. So my old talkback cables no longer worked because they were a 2.5 to 3.5mm cable. But the headset does come with a 3.5 to 3.5mm cable which was probably meant for the cell phones. But it works fine on the Xbox One controller.
Also, don't forget to register your headset on turtle beaches website. Its free to sign up for the elite membership. They gave you 1 free shirt or hoodie and 2 pairs of speaker plates free and they ship it for free.

What's great about it: Power, Design
What's not so great: the price is a bit much, but believe me its worth it.
well first off, i didn't buy my L7 from best buy. but i just wanted to let people know that might be thinking of buying one. that it is a great sub and its really powerful. i only use one 12 inch sub in a ported box with my kicker cx1200.1 in my 2003 honda accord . i run this speaker in 2 ohms when wired in parallel. i'm surprised at how hard this sub truly hits. i had 2 12" kicker - CompS12 subs before. i decided to take them back and just go with one good sub. let me tell you. this L7 hits harder and is more powerful then two comps 12" subs from kicker. those speakers put out together 600 rms vs my 1 L7 puts out 750 rms and both were running at 2 ohms. so i do highly recommend this sub. i think two of them would be overkill but that's your choice. hope this helps.

What's great about it: price, looks, hdmi cable and everything else
What's not so great: no hard drive only 4gb of flash memory but thats ok i knew that when i bought it.
i just got my system today (xbox 360 slim 4gb). it came with everything it says including an hdmi cable which was very nice since if u get the system new it wont come with the hdmi cable. everything ran smooth and everything is working fine. i am able to do the xbox live updates even though its only 4gb (3.3gb's usable). i was able to also download a few demos like ufc 2010 and forza motorsport 3 and still have a bit of memory left. also u can put a usb memory stick in and format it so u can install ur games on that (something new with the slim xbox 360s only). u get everything it comes with new just not the original box that came with the system. it was just a brown box. if u need a system to play and dont really need the 250gb hard drive or u want to upgrade later down the road cause of money, then i would tell u to get this system. dont be scared because its refurbished. the console is in perfect shape no visual damage. also best buy gives u a 90 day warranty then i registered the system on xbox's website and it said my warranty is good till jan 2012. so keep that in mind, cause thats really nice.

Can you use a external hardrive as your primary hardrive for the Xbox 360?
I was thinking about getting a Xbox 360. I was thinking that if I could buy the 4GB Xbox 360 I could add an external hardrive on to it and use it as my primary hardrive and save game files to it, downlload things to it, etc. Can you do that with an external hardrive?
i dont think any external hard drive will work on the xbox 360 slim 4gb. i tried my 1tb external hard drive but it wouldnt pick it up. u can add the 250gb hard drive for the xbox 360 later on or u can use a usb memory stick like a 16gb if thats all the memory u need. i have done that with the usb memory stick u just gotta reformat it on the xbox 360. hope this helps.
