Editorial Reviews
Product Description:
PC gamers rely on headphones to eliminate distracting noise around them, so they can concentrate on their game play and hear every nuance of the game audio. Stereo headphones with an integrated PC microphone are incompatible with the Xbox 360, so gamers are forced to choose between using standard headphones and talking online. Conventional Xbox communicator headsets cover one ear for chat, leaving only a single ear for hearing game audio from the speakers. The Ear Force X3 overcome this problem by pumping game audio AND online chat through high-fidelity headphones to deliver the privacy, clarity, and competitive edge of PC headphones on the Xbox 360 platform. They’re also designed to enhance the Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming experience by enabling the user to independently control volume of amplified chat and game audio - a first for wireless headphones. Designed for premium sound, the X3s feature 40mm drivers in each ear cup and are powered by low distortion DC-coupled amplifiers for deep, rich bass sound. Engineered for long-gaming sessions, the headphones incorporate a soft, cushioned, adjustable headband, deep ear pads and tilting ear cups to fit the contours of the gamer’s head. No matter if your priority is physical comfort, headset options or audio clarity, the Ear Force X3 wireless Xbox headphones will hold up to the test. Headset usable with other gaming systems (mic for Xbox 360 only)

Good alternative to an expensive 5.1 surround sound system by jem16
Let me get this out of the way, I did buy this item from Amazon.com and I have had the item for more than a week. I have experienced the product to write a good review. These headphones are great! The sound is good not spectacular, there are better headphones out there but for $100 it is a bargain deal. The setup is extremely simple and works great. There are some issues, on some games there is audio dip or phase out but mostly it is the games fault for making the game for a 6.1 system and not a 5.1 system, an example is the Call of Duty games where in Call of Duty 2 it happens more often that in Call of Duty 4. When when I am playing Bioshock it works flawlessly and immerses you in the world of the game, it is really nice to hear the little things that make a big difference. A worthy note is the headphones them selves. The xboxlive mike is really easy to use and the headphones are snug and comfortable. These headphones are not just good for games, when I watch audio great movies like Saving Private Ryan or Star Wars the headphones actually sound better than when playing an xbox360 game. Overall if you want a great product for only $100 bucks it is a must have, if you don’t want; or can’t afford; a fancy 5.1 audio system then this will get you by. It works great and you won’t bother the people sleeping around you for late night gamers. I was very hesitant at first about buying the Turtle Beach x3 xbox360 headphones at first but that all went away when I heard the detailed sounds in Bioshock or the realistic gun fire in Call of Duty 4 and the screams of alien foes in Halo 3. If you want a cool product, that is wireless, then go out and buy these headphones!
Not too shabby! by J. Miller
I’m a 38 year old gamer who plays online quite a bit with friends. This headset sounds amazing, though you do have to tweak it to your preferences. The only sore spots would be the location of the power button and the fact that it is a button, which really isn’t a terribly big deal. You can hit the button inadvertently on occasion. Otherwise, for a wireless headset, it sounds great and the microphone works as advertised…
Best of a bad selection by JDSX
I’ve tried the Tritton and this is, unfortunately, the best of the breed. The functionality is good but there is an ambient hiss that simply refuses to go away, so the sound quality can be considered terrible, and the line of sight restriction between headphones and transmitter is severe.
Go Wireless? by Jose A. Hidalgo
I thought this would be a good Headset but I’m a COD4 Player and then headset just goes blank on every loud explosion…Not a good headset for COD
