Ear Force X1 Stereo Headset with Chat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought the Turtle Beach X1 headset, worked great initially. GF was happy the 360 would no longer disturb her with sounds at night. However, once I plugged the puck and mic into the controller, all went downhill. I play on LIVE in games that needs a mic to communicate with friends (Call of Duty 4). Whenever the mic is plugged in, there is a LOUD annoying buzzing sound that won't go away until I unplug the puck and mic from the controller. Without the mic attached, sound works great, but the left speakers had a tendency to go out intermittently. Really had high hopes for this headset, will probably return.
Update 5/22/08:
Buzzing sound problem: I was able to identify the source of the buzzing sound from the headset. After plugging in different controllers, mics and set-ups, the culprit is the wired charge kit adapter that connects from the 360 to the wireless controller that is being charged. The solution is to use only a wireless controller with the headset. That means now I have to charge the wireless controllers when I am not using the headset or purchase a separate battery pack charger. Turtle Beach website support is not that easy to navigate, but the FAQ does mention a ground AC connector causing interference, and I assumed it meant the charge kit cable. I wish the FAQ/support site was more clear in their wording.
Left-side speakers losing sound: The problem was identified and solved. Reason was hook-up to Onkyo sound system. Onkyo sound system is hooked up to 360 by digital connection and then the Turtle headset uses analog. Had to turn off digital surround sound, which caused the fluctuation in right/left headset speakers and switched to stereo sound. This also reduced the loud bass BOOMs. (Shotgun blasts in COD4 are incredibly LOUD). I decided to connect to the Sharp Aquos LCD directly and avoid having to switch settings on the Onkyo sound system.
My previous review gave 2-stars. Amazon does not allow for changing of stars but I would say 4 stars now. After troubleshooting, I have decided to keep the Turtle Beach headset. Future buyers be aware that you may need to troubleshoot depending on your set-up.

Ear Force X11 Amplified Stereo Headset with Chat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought my X11s to improve my gameplay in Modern Warfare 2 and to play at night while my family is asleep. I am so glad that I did. They have accomplished both objectives with flying colors. The sound quality is excellent. I can hear absolutely everything, even the faintest sound cues I could never hear before. Just the ability to hear footsteps, the direction that they are coming and what they are walking on makes all the difference in multiplayer. Before ordering them, I read many reviews that mention a hiss when the headset is plugged in and was a bit worried that this might be an issue. There is a hiss, but it is so negligible that it isn't even worth listing as a con. Almost all the other reviews that I've read that mention this hiss also mention that you can't even hear it during gameplay. Doesn't that pretty much disqualify it as a con? Honestly, these things could play Home On The Range until I put my MW2 disc in the drive for all I care. There has to be absolute silence in the game in order to hear the hiss. As soon as any music or in game action starts, it is gone, in no way hindering your gaming experience. I also didn't have any problem hearing this hiss while using the X11s with my iPhone for music or YouTube. The ability to control both the game and chat volumes works very well. I've played several very long MW2 multiplayer sessions with friends and I haven't had any issues with my friends hearing me or vice versa. I love that when you raise the game volume, it automatically adjusts the chat volume so that the game audio doesn't drown it out. Which is a good thing, because these bad boys are loud as hell when you crank them up. I have literally jumped in my seat during unexpected explosions. The volume and quality of the sounds make for a very immersive gaming experience. They are also extremely comfortable. Most of the time, I can barely tell they are there, even when I've had them on hours at a time. My old headset sat right on my ears, which would make my ears very sore, very quickly. Overall, I have to give these a five out of five. For the price, they just can't be beat.

Headset with Microphone for Xbox 360 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Really nice upgrade to the standard 360 headset. Comfortable and good sound. The only downfall is that if you are playing a game like C.O.D. it is harder to hear footsteps on the T.V. because you have both ears covered. Great for team communication though.

Headset with Microphone for Xbox 360 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The title says it.
Reasons:
#1. It is the most uncomfortable and painful thing I have ever put on my head.
#2. The voice quality is terrible.
#3. When I am not talking, it says I am because of HUGE amounts of feedback and noise.
#4. When the mic is muted, it says I am talking.
#5. It took about 2 weeks for it to arrive.
DO NOT BUY THIS. PAY THE 5 OR 10 MORE DOLLARS FOR THE MICROSOFT ONE, OR EVEN BETTER $60 TURTLE BEACHES. DO NOT BUY THESE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
P.S. I have had these for 1 day and I am ready to throw them against the wall. :P.

Headset with Microphone for Xbox 360 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i'm sure my thought was the same as yours is now...wow what a good deal, and this has to be louder and better quality than the single ear microsoft headset...It is NOT. I was excited to find a good deal on a new both ear headset, but this one is garbage. I wasted the money i spent on it and i can't get it back because it technically does work...just very poorly. this headset not only is quieter, but it is uncomfortable to wear. it is too tight on your head. I do regret this purchase. Amazon has alot of great deals and I am a loyal customer to them, but always remember that you get what you pay for. Simply put, your microsoft headset is better than this one.
