User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Excellent, better than expected…
I plugged these bad boys in and started playing a game with my user playlist in the background. These are a hell of a pair of headphones. The sound was crisp, the bass was lovely and I was immediately satisfied with my purchase. After that trial, I decided to play a game of Gears 2 Horde mode. I heard every blast, snarl, step, etc. from every angle, it felt like I was actually there. Amazing. On one of the levels I could even hear the frogs as if they were right next to me. I was going to get the X4′s at first, but I’m happy I downgraded at the last minute and saved myself the $80. There are people complaining about a hiss noise, but like any pair of sneakers, that problem is easily solved by turning the volume down to a reasonable level. The only problem I see is that there are tons of cords, It’s not a problem for me b/c of how I have my set up, but I can see how it would be a problem for others.

I recommend these headphones 100%

For gaming. For music listening. For life.

4 Stars good
I love the headset, but the long cord is easy to trip over. Ours is broken already it pulled loose from the headset and now have trouble hearing.

3 Stars Awesome sound quality, Great mic, but still has a couple major flaws.
Got this great headset for christmas, and was amazed. First of all, these are the most comfortable speakers of any kind i have ever worn on my head. padding everywhere, everything just fits perfectly. Now for sound. Left 4 Dead, (by the way, a fantastic must-have) was taken to a new level with constant, loud surround sound. Bose over-ear headphones, you know, the $300 ones? this thing kicks Bose’s @$$. Seriously.

After a while of playing, i drop the headset from about 1 foot off my carpet flooring, and it hits my spare xbox controller. no biggie with the cheap little one-speaker mic the xbox comes with, but with the beefy $50 dollar X1s? THE LEFT SPEAKER FREAKIN FALLS OFF!! That should NOT HAPPEN!!

In summary, here we have the..

Pros:

-extremely comfortable, even through hours of playing

-perfectly tuned sound

-crystal clear mic

-runs on power from the xbox (no replacing batteries)

Cons:

-can be hard to hear voice chat on xbox live when game volume is loud

Really important cons:

-NOT FOR USE WITH THE PLUG AND PLAY CHARGE KIT THING!!!! USE WIRED CONTROLLER, AAs, OR ALWAYS HAVE A BATTERY CHARGED AND READY!!!! (theres a loud, annoying buzzing noise unless you do that)

-BREAKS EASILY!!!! 2, 2mm plastic prongs hold each speaker on to the rest of the headset, and the whole thing is useless with a speaker just dangling from the side!! BE CAREFUL!!!

and by the way, turtle beach’s help and support service is… pretty much nonexistent.

–[...]

edit: ps: if the speaker falls off yours, (and the wiring is still good) strong superglue over the entire joint there fixes it very well. Still, though, that should NOT HAPPEN!!!

4 Stars Great headset for the price
This is definetely one of the best headsets you can get for the xbox 360 and pc. Yes, it can work for both your xbox and your computer games. I love to play call of duty 4 with this headset because it allows you to hear your enemies way before they can see or hear you. Great advantage for those contests where every edge counts. The only nusiance is the wire its only one really long wire. Sometimes it gets tangled up and annoys me but it definetely worth it because there are reports that the wireless ones make a buzzing sound and they require batteries. I highly recommend this headset to everyone looking to play with an edge and without disturbing others like you parents in my case.

3 Stars Ear Force X1 wired headphones works great with XBox 360, but not at all with my Vista laptop
Positive:

- Very long cords

- Works great with my XBox 360

- Has inline hookups so that you can still play audio through your speakers and headphones at the same time. This is only a benefit if you are playing alone because if you playing with others on XBox Live, you will have the headphones on.

Negative

- Doesn’t work at all with my Vista laptop (Dell Precision M90). I thought I might be able to get rid of my USB Logitech headphones and use only this product, but that didn’t work out. Now, I still have two sets of headphones.
