- Reviewed on: 08/07/2008
The good: Wireless headphones for Xbox 360 or any other audio source; effective 5.1 Dolby Digital processing; removable microphone.
The bad: IR signal radius is a bit narrow; headphones do a poor job of noise reduction and isolation; headphones require two AAA batteries (included).
The bottom line: With their accurate 5.1-channel separation, the Turtle Beach Ear Force X4s are great surround-sound headphones for the Xbox 360--or any other home theater component.

The best headset for the 360 out there
by vitalgamer on May 14, 2009
Pros: The sound quality is great. Love the surround sound especially while playing COD 4 & 5 on xbox live. Guitar Hero games also sound amazing especially Guitar Hero: Metallica once you turn on the Dolby Digital option.
Cons: When there is no sound playing in the headphones you can hear slight staticky noise. It becomes irritationg after a while. Not acceptable for a $200 pair of headphones
Summary: I own X1s and X4s. The sound difference between them is huge. You do get what you pay for. The surround sound and the sound quality of the X4s are ...
Summary: I own X1s and X4s. The sound difference between them is huge. You do get what you pay for. The surround sound and the sound quality of the X4s are great for any games especially for the first person shooters. The set up took me less than a minute and I was ready to play. Overall I am impressed with this headset and it has given me an advantage when playing on xbox live. I would of rated them at 5 stars if it wasn't for the annoying white noise.

Not a happy camper!
by The_Omega_Man on April 6, 2009
Pros: The Sound Quality and overall Comfort of the headphones is great.
The Bass Boost does "enhance" the overall depth of the sounds and music without being overbearing.Cons: You can easily snap the base stand right off of the base unit when removing it from the packaging, if you are not careful!
NOTE: THIS UNIT WILL NOT WORK WITH XBOX LIVE CHAT ON THE Rock Band or the Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel! :-(
Price!Summary: Nice sound quality, but there should be a compatibly warning, right on the packaging for prospective buyers!... @ $199 retail, it is simply unacceptable that this product need to draw additional ...
Summary: Nice sound quality, but there should be a compatibly warning, right on the packaging for prospective buyers!... @ $199 retail, it is simply unacceptable that this product need to draw additional power from an XBOX controller or that it need to attach to one at all for chat capability! And it it is unacceptable that Turtle beach has no adapter option to supply said required power in leu of the controller. Also it would be nice if Turtle Beach would adapt it's battery compartment to use the XBOX style rechargeable batteries!

Agreed, Cnet too tough on these. These are awsome!
by zevede on March 22, 2009
Pros: The Quality is superb for wireless gaming. I've tried the x1 and some others and they were worthless. These are great. They feel well constructed and have superior sound quality.
Cons: When I when to check out at the store the price tag was very high. But I tried anyway because I want to hear my game with quality when I cant turn up the volume. There expensive and will pobbly keep most people from experiencing them.
Summary: Bottom line is if your a gamer for games like COD then prepare to be blown away. My games are like brand new. I 'm hearing new things ive never ...

CNET is too hard, great headphones
by brianseth on March 2, 2009
Pros: Wireless, sound quality, feels like true surround sound, great microphone
Cons: price, but you get what you pay for
Summary: I use these for, what else, FPS. You can truly hear the direction of the sound (behind, left, right, etc.) with these. Microphone quality is a huge step up from ...
Summary: I use these for, what else, FPS. You can truly hear the direction of the sound (behind, left, right, etc.) with these. Microphone quality is a huge step up from basic xbox headset and never cuts out. In this review and in another review, CNET cuts on the IR range and sound isolation. I am able to walk around my basement, include into a separate room and still get full signal through walls. Second, who is really moving around, we are playing xbox, not Wii. In terms of sound isolation, unless you live next to train tracks, this is over-rated. Most people I know, and me, play in relatively quiet areas. That said, most normal level outside noise gets covered by the sounds of the game.
Ignore the negatives and pony up the cash.
I waited a year from getting my 360 to get these and wish I had gotten them sooner. -
As good as it gets in wireless headsets with 5.1 sound.
by ShotgunNostrils on February 19, 2009
Pros: Very comfortable and well built, solid feeling materials. Quality is evident as soon as you try these on. Super easy to install and operate. The controls are very intuitively placed on the left ear piece and easy to access. color matches my Xbox 360!
Cons: The infrared signal is touchy, if some body walks through your field of view you WILL hear a fuzz. I'm sure some one will come along and use Dect-6 or blue tooth signals and take over the spot at the top of the food chain. But until then this is it.
Summary: Consider your lay out of your room and your components carefully when making a decision on this headset! If you can set the transmitter unit centered...and as close to ...
Summary: Consider your lay out of your room and your components carefully when making a decision on this headset! If you can set the transmitter unit centered...and as close to ear level or at least angle it upwards/downwards toward you ears you will get the most performance. A hinged base would be so welcome on this product ( I have mine propped up with coasters) to get the angle just right. A plasma TV will throw a little more fuzz into the sound too so try to go as far away as possible from a plasma as you can for the lowest noise factor. If you enjoy being mere inches from your screen you will not want to use this headset. It is such a plus to be able to hear all of the sound of a game and all of the chatter of teamates at the same time, it actually handles that very well. Plus being able to turn the main volume down and not have it interfere with other people in the house has been the biggest unforeseen benefit of all. If the price was under 100 dollars I would have given them a 5 out of 5.
