I had gotten some Turtle Beach Headphones so I could play and hear the games without bothering my roommate. I was using a 19" LCD TV HDMI and a 3.5mm audio port, and that worked fine but I was dependent on the TV-out for audio. The moment I started getting my audio straight from the XBox the sounds became much more alive. Now I feel as if Zombies are screaming over my left shoulder... which helps me aim faster.
