Do you really need to pay $300 for an xbox headset? Well, it depends on the games you play and the level of gamer you are. When I first started playing Halo 3, I just used the wired and wireless headset made by Microsoft. They are both a good fit if you are a casual gamer playing for fun. But, they do break rather really easily. For instance i was playing Halo 3 one time and tried to take my wired headset off and when i was about to take it off i basically chopped it in half. Plus I’ve had also had a bad experience with the wireless headset. I was just playing on the Xbox 360 and it randomly died out and completely broke. Definitely get the wired headset if you are a casual gamer as these last a lot longer but can break easy if you are not careful with it.
But if you are a really competitive gamer the xbox headsets are definitely not a good fit.
Ive heard a lot of good reviews on the Turtle beach headsets because of their sound quality. I have gotten really good at Halo 3 and am looking to start participating in tournaments, But sadly I don’t have anything but the xbox headsets. However there is one headset that is really cool looking, [especially in white] , has great sound quality and provides everything a competitive gamer needs in a headset, The ASTRO A40’s . All the top pros in gaming have these headsets so they can hear when people are coming up behind them. They are rather expensive but if you have the money to buy it you should get it. Unfortunately I cant afford to buy them right now, but i seriously am in love with these things. Well that pretty much sums up my Xbox headset experience. ASTRO A40’s are the way to go if you are a serious gamer.
Upgraded My iPhone!

Last week the folks at TatSkinz sent us some new iPhone skinz for our family. They had some really cool ones to pick from. I picked out the Hibiscus Dawn White and cjlhoops asked for the Dead Headz one. We were pretty excited to put them on. They don’t just make these for iPhones. They have them for a lot of iPod devices so check them out for your iPod too.
We did cjlhoops phone first and here is it start to finish:
This is how they look in the package.

It comes like two big stickers. Nice thumbprint on his phone, lol!

The front…

The back…

Looks pretty cool, right? Overall putting the skin on was really easy. You need to line it up so you might want your parents nearby but cjlhoops had no problem doing it on his own. It peels right off in our tests so you can change your mind and get a new one. However, you can’t really save the old one after you remove it a few times so don’t think you can change it as often as you change your clothes…unless your parents don’t mind
The other really important thing to remember is that while it looks really cool, it does not protect your device very much so get a clear hard cover for it too. If you want to get a TatSkinz, your parents can use the coupon code: STUPEFY to get 20% off your order.
