Hello and thank you.
Once again I return to the halls of wisdom in search of guidance. First off let me say that I am looking for a gaming headset that I will be able to use for both my xbox and my PC. Money is of no concern for me but I would rather not drop 300 dollars on something that 80 dollars will cover.
My goal, or.. actually my wife's goal, is to find a way for me to game with a headset while the TV is muted so she can study in peace for her classes and i can fully enjoy my games. I enjoy gaming both on my PC(desktop) and Xbox which is why I am trying to find one device (to rule them both). Ideally, from what I have seen in my research I can have one device for both of my systems.

From what I have seen at Turtlebeach, I can use the XP500 wirelessly at my xbox and when I wish to use it at my PC, I can just bring the headset over leaving the wireless transmitter at my xbox and plugging directly into my PC using the equipment on the 2nd link provide above.
So after a few weeks of searching the internet for a device that could fulfill both roles, I think this is the best for me. Unfortuately, its the only one I found and thats why I wanted to post on these forums to have someone sanity check my work. My current PC is running Windows Vista, does not have a Sound card.
Does it seem like my plan will work to both incorporate the XP500 into my 360 and PC with minimal hassle or am I over-looking something else that would be much easier?
Very Respectfully,
