Summary: Very nice stereo Heaphone with voice chat on 360 2008-08-16
Comment: Just got my X4 from the BestBuy.
Here is what I found about this headphone.
Pros:
-Great sound. Almost as good as my AKG K701.
-Wireless !!!!!!!! need I say more ??
-quite comfortable. wish the ear piece abit larger but no big deal.
-I found there's a person who claimed you ONLY can stand the transmitter. That's not ture cuz' I was able to take the stand and the metal hook for placing the headphone out. By unscrewing 3 little screws, you should be able to pop the side cover out and slide the metal hook out.
For the bottom stand. All you need just un-screw 6 screws on the bottom of the stand. From there you should able to see the Main Screw that hold the stand. Un-screw that one and you're done.
I did to mine one cuz' my shelf won't tall enough for it.
so that way you can place horizontally.
Cons:
-HISSING HISSING and HISSING. I mean is not as big as you heard nothin' but hissing. but it's there and sometimes, the game vol just won't cover. (I only turn the thing up maybe 1/3)
-Sometimes my voice appear abit "Muddy" from my friend's side. And sometimes I can heard a sec long of echo.
All in all. For 200 bucks still abit pircey. But if you can afford it. This I think it's the best you can get FOR those of you wanna play game with stereo sound PLUS VOICE CHAT !!

Summary: Good sounding ... I am sticking with my X3's though. 2008-08-13
Comment: I have used the Ear Force X1, X2, X3 and now the X4's.
Each new model offers needed and welcomed enhancements over the previous. The X3's were nearly perfect to me. So I figure why not try the X4!
Pros:
-Earcups are more comfy than the X3
-If you are watching Dolby Digital, Pro Logic, Headphone profiles they will enhance the sound.
Cons:
-The Stand, it can ONLY stand up. And the little headphone holder sticking out of the top can NOT be removed
-For anyone watching Movies that are in DTS, or pretty much anything on Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, these will not do a thing for you besides give you stereo. Audio can ONLY be in Dolby formats, but not Dolby HD that is on new bluray and HD-DVD.
-The sound is not very noticeably different than the X3's.
For half the price, go with the X3 and get equal quality.

Summary: I recommend these headphones 2008-08-09
Comment: Lightweight and everything as advertised. I wish the ear cups were a little larger, but the wireless feature is a huge blessing. I recommend if you can afford them. I have had two other 5.1 headphones, and these are the best.

Summary: great except for the hissing 2008-07-30
Comment: I will first mention that I have the Earforce X3's and had an issue with hissing that was attributed to the microphone feedback "feature" which allows you to hear how loud you are talking. The amount of feedback is not user adjustable so I sent them back to Turtle Beach to be tweaked. When I got them back the hissing was decreased but still present (I would have preferred they turn off the feature altogether).
I bought the X4's hoping they would have addressed the hissing and they had not. That being said the X4's have very good 5.1 sound. The hissing is at its loudest when the cable from the puck is plugged into the headphones. If I'm playing single player games I do not plug it in and they sound great. Even with the cable plugged in the hissing is only detremental when there is no game sounds or in a lobby and hardly noticeable in the heat of action.
A nice feature is the fact that I can receive 5.1 surround on my X4's and X3's at the same time which is nice for watching movies with the wife and not waking up the baby (and yes the X4's do sound better than the X3's in a side by side comparison over 5.1). Another nice feature is that it has an optical out so if I want to play the sound through my receiver and surround speakers I just turn on the receiver without rewiring.
Bottom line is for the price and the fact they work flawlessly through xbox live these are a great wireless option.

Summary: Worth Every Penny 2008-07-28
Comment: After using these headphones for about a week I must say that they are the best headphones I have ever had and they give the best sound I have ever heard. I have a surround sound at my parents house and I brought my Xbox over to test it out and without the headphones and it wasn't the same. Playing COD4 and Gears of War is a new game for me as I started playing better since I can pin point if someone is the the right or left of me or simply behind me. They are very comfortable and I play an average of 4 to 6 hours straight with friends with them which they can all hear me perfectly. I love how you can hear everything perfectly and you can also adjust the volume with your friends. The only drawback of this which I don't think even matters because I love these headphones is that you have to make sure the transmitter isn't getting blocked because my volume in my headphones would go out on me if someone sat infront of it or anything that may get in its way.
These are the best headphones I have ever had and they are perfect for any gamer. Yes they are $200 but if you are a true gamer then this is a must buy.
