 The best Wireless headset available for gaming! September 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This headset was designed by an Xbox live user who knows about the importance of 5.1 surround sound in gaming today. There is a hiss when no other sounds are playing, (which comes with every wireless headset) but it is no longer an issue when there is continuous sound. You can't hear through walls, but as long as you're in the same room as your receiver you will have great reception. I have noticed no distortion from turning my head in my room. With the great surround sound (which grants me the ability to watch movies with great satisfaction) the ability to lower the voice incoming from live users makes this by far the best available headset available. If you have a family like me or you want to play online games with the best surround sound than this is the best option.
 Good sound quality... except for the hiss September 21, 2008

I've had my Ear Force X4's for a few weeks now and they've been okay. Sound quality is fairly good although I'm not convinced that they really reproduce surround sound. If you're playing video games, however, they suffice as you learn quickly to localize sounds (as in COD4) by turning slightly and tracking how the sounds move. The headphones are somewhat heavy and after a couple of hours are somewhat uncomfortable for me. Wireless reception is really good and you can get 20 feet away and at odd angles and it will still work. There is, as many have noticed, a moderately loud hiss that you won't notice if there is sound going on, but once its quiet, you will hear it. This hiss has nothing to do with whether or not you have a plasma TV, which apparently causes a different type of interference with the wireless IR connection. Battery life seems to be good and overall build quality of the headphones seems appropriate for the price.
Sounds like Gold September 19, 2008

These headsets do what they set out to do. They sound solid & feel solid. Sound is sent via a router like device that works better than the previous X3 models in that those didn't handle something getting in the way of the beam very well. 5.1 sound simulation is spot on. So if playing a game like COD4, you'll know or have a solid lead on your enemy with this headset. Listening to entertainment on the X3s is great as well. So watching & enjoying your entertainment without waking anyone or annoying anyone is solid. Wonder what the X4s will be like after trying this headset? Only problem's were that the battery life didn't last as long as I'd love but not the headset's fault. Plus random hissing or warping sounds are heard if a cell phone is near the headsets receiving.
pretty nice... September 15, 2008

these headphones are a bit expensive, but do work as advertised.
i've used them with halo3, cod4, and rockband.
sound quality is very good. the bass boost adds low end, although the thump of the bass pedal in rockband is not quite included in the spectrum.
the surround sound is decent, but not earth shattering. it's better than stereo in that sounds do seem a little more out away than normal headphones, where it feels more like the sound is in your head.
i was hesitant to purchase for fear there would be a delay while the optical signal is processed. this would be especially critical with rhythm games like rockband/guitar hero. i was very pleased to find zero delay.
the chat during gaming works perfectly. there is no difficulty hearing others, and being able to hear yourself while while transmitting helps alot.
the headset is relatively light and comfortable. i especially like the material used on the earpads.
as others mention, there is a hiss during silence. i can't hear it at all during gameplay.
so, to sum it up, like the opening statement..... pricey for sure. they are exactly as represented though. no negative suprises.
are they worth buying? for me, yes. as long as they hold up, i'll be getting my money's worth without a doubt.
almost true surround September 12, 2008
for the cost I want a little more not just sound from the genaral direction but if i hear gun fire i should be able to pin point location after second shot not just over there some where. For the over all performance i would not get any thing other than the ear force x4 no one complained about my voice unless the mike was pulled away from my mouth, some times that is a plus. I like it.
