I second the HyperX Cloud Pro headset. It's a great headset for the price.

Those are some good laptops for the price: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-i3531-1200BK-15-6-Inch-Processor/dp/B00KMRGF28/ http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-15-6-Inch-Laptop-500GB-Drive/dp/B00HNWLYSK/

For watching movies, even a ~$300 laptop will be enough.

Doesn't look like it will work, Turtle Beach has not confirmed compatibility: http://www.gamenguide.com/articles/9846/20140312/xbox-one-news-turtle-beach-provides-list-compatible-headsets-thanks.htm However, it may work with an adapter. Not sure about that...

On certain graphics settings (mostly medium) you'll be fine with that laptop. Here's a review using other demanding games: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Y40-59423035-Notebook-Review.124638.0.html...

You'll be ok with games on medium-high settings. Here's a review: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-X555LN-XO112H-Notebook-Review.125345.0.html

Those two laptops do not compare in price/performance actually, they're from two different price ranges. The ASUS one is more budget oriented, good for daily tasks. The Acer one is better in terms of performance. Buy one that will be enough for what you're planning to do with it.

It's up to you if you wanna spend the extra $10 for Surround. Both of them are the same for the rest.

I would go for the HyperX Cloud Pro instead. But out of those two, the Logitech G230. I've used both. The Razer headsets sound horrible and are cheaply made. The only nice thing is the way it looks, nothing else. Their sound is very cramped and muddy. Especially on the higher notes you'll...

I would advice you to go to the service center again and let them handle it since you didn't get what you expected. It may be a bad installation on their part.

The HyperX Cloud is one of the best sounding 'gaming' headsets under $100. It's a rebranded QPAD T90, which is a quality headphone. I own one and I would highly recommend the HyperX Cloud.

Astro.

Steelseries Siberia V2 is a decent headset. About the fitting, I think the Astro's should fit, not so sure. I have a medium sized head and it fits pretty nice, does get a little uncomfortable after long use though.

Yeah without the amp, if you'll be using it on the pc then there is no need for it. It made to connect it to consoles and such. Also this headset does not need any other amplification, your motherboard connector will provide enough power.
