When I bought mine it was 50 dollars which is only 30 dollars cheaper than the headset and the bluetooth isn't that great. Sure, it gets the job done and it's wireless, but it covers one ear that you need to hear the game, no noise cancellation feature, and gets uncomfortable after medium to long sessions in use. If you really want one, I'd sell you mine for 20 bucks... And the real hardcore headset is the Astro A40 headset which is $250+ depending on how many bonus accessories you want with it ($250 is the bare minimum).
