Customer Reviews of Xbox 360 EarForce X2 Wireless Headset Headphones (for Xbox, PC also)

Good Concept, Not So Good Results
I needed a headset/headphone combination so I can play without disturbing other people while not missing out on vital game sound effects and music. This seemed like the product to get, so I did so. <
> <
>Pros: <
>Wireless... sort of. You still need to hook up a wire from headphone to controller for mic functions. <
>white matches 360. <
>headset/headphone works well. <
>Xtremely comfortable fitment. <
>Easy installation. <
> <
>Cons: <
>Need to cross R w/ L as the other reviewers have said. Even the turtlebeach site says this. <
>The wireless distance isn't far. Anything that get in between sender to headset will cut off sound, such as a hand wave...etc. <
>Sender is bulky and is not a hide away unit. <
>Left ear is louder than right. <
>In Gears of War, my setting for the effects is down to 1, music off, and chat volume max. My chat gets drowned out by game effects still. For example when the train rolls by I completely can not hear my team chat... <
>After a few weeks my mic broke. Need to send in for RMA. <
> <
>I've since reverted back to the oem headset. <

Great for the price
Pros: <
> - Wireless <

> - Very good sound quality <
>Cons: <
> - Base unit stops transmitting if long intervals of near silence occur. <
> - Audible white noise when there is no sound being transmitted <
> <
>Overall I would say these headphones are excellent for the price. I am no audiophile so they are perfect for listening to music off of my PC. But they really shine when it comes to playing Xbox live, which is the primary reason I bought them. Finally I can hear the game and the players and communicate with them all through the same headset. Everything sounds great, although you will have to tweek the game volume settings in order to get a good balance between the voices of the other players and the game sounds. The only downsides that I have seen are 1) during long periods of near silence the base unit will stop transmitting sound. I say "near" silence because it has cut out at times when there were still audible sounds being tranmitted, they were just low volume. I experienced this in between Gears of War matches when only a couple of people are talking. It's not a big deal it will kick back in as soon as a loud enough sound occurs and there plenty of those in that game. 2) when you first turn on the headphones you will notice some audible white noise. I think that is pretty typical for IR wireless headsets. You won't notice it at all when you start listening to music or while gaming. I give this unit 4 stars just because I know there are better quality headsets out there, but for this price it rocks.

Not completely wireless, has some bugs
The sound quality on the headphones is good, the stereo can really help you out in tricky situations, but be aware that the left/right may be reversed and you may have to swap red/white plugs. Another point is that using it on standard xbox, specifically on Star Wars Battlefront you are still using the communicator for online chat, and at the commencement of every level you have to go to online options and set the game to play sound through the tv speakers or you won't hear anybody else, it has to be done every level because it changes back on it's own. I have addressed this defect with Turtle Beach and they have no solution. I don't know what other games are impacted by this. See you on the battle field
