Turtle Beach makes some fine wireless headsets for the Microsoft Xbox 360, and its Ear Force line has made steady improvements with each iteration. Its X4 model features improved sound quality with the option of using digital optical connections for audio. Its a very expensive pair of headphones, rivaling the cost of the console itself, but its the absolute best quality on the market when it comes to sound quality.
The Ear Force X4 is made up of the headset, transmitter, power cable, a cable for the Xbox controller, and a digital optical audio cable. It runs on two triple-A batteries, also included. The transmitter has inputs for digital optical audio and outputs to your audio-visual receiver (or just the TV). It is heavy and bulky compared to the earlier model in the series, but its the kind of thing that's set up somewhere and left alone, so size shouldn't be too much of an issue. The headphones themselves are similar to earlier designs in the series, with internal springs that pinch your head, and they are a little heavier this time, but they do seem more comfortable in general, however.
Unfortunately the ear cups are covered in an absorbent fabric which sucks in sweat very easily. If the material was made of out vinyl then this problem wouldn't occur. These headsets sadly draw in energy from the battery quicker which means short battery lives. But on the plus side the microphone can be adjusted for optimal comfort.
The headset works very well. It produces some of the best sounding bass and crisp brass available. The headset simulates 5.1 surround sound very accurately and nicely. There is absolutely no annoying background hiss. Also the microphone can be turned off if there is interference from household appliances such as the television, computer, or other gaming console. The Ear Force X4 headset from Turtle Beach is very comfortable to wear and will not feel cumbersome when it is wrapped around your head. Thanks to the digital optical audio input it produces the best sound possible. With a hefty price tag rest assured you get what you pay for.
They make a great first set of wireless headphones, though probably cost too much to justify purchase as an upgrade for any existing ones that may be owned. In that regard, however, the transmitter can be shared between different headsets in the Ear Force series, so multiple users can listen to the same source. This is handy and fun and though not advertised as a feature nor, even, publicized at all, its a nice "hidden bonus. - 22787
