What Tim said about losing sound quality on the X41 vs PX21 is false. In fact, the X4's1 sound better as the wired PX21's have a constant ambient background hiss which makes no sense considering it's a wired headset.
X41's are crystal clear and actually support true 7.1 surround sound, while the PX21 attempts to simulate 5.1 through an 'expanded stereo' feature.
Sound: X41 wins true 7.1 > simulated 5.1
Convenience: X41 wins: wireless is better
Battery Life: PX21 wins as it's wired, and the X41 goes thru AAA's pretty fast
Features: PX21 wins because you can adjust game and chat volume separately
Value: PX21 wins because it's more than half the price and is still a terrific headset
I just wanted the X41's cause they were the 'best', but looking back you can't go wrong with the PX21.
