 The Best June 23, 2008
The X3 is the best purchase I every made for my Xbox. Once they are set up the sound is beyond amazing.
Great Upgrade June 16, 2008
The Ear Foce X3 are a great improvement over the X2 headset. The gameplay and chatting is amazingly better. It sounds clearer and richer. The cutscene sounds make you think it's in the room with you through this headset. The bass effect is nice and being able to hear yourself chat is so helpful so that you know how others are hearing you. The X2 were very flimsy and loose fitting, but that's not the case with the X3. They fit snug on your head so that no gaming sound will escape your ears.
*Here's an unadvertised secret: I also use these for my regular gaming on the PS3. Though 1if I want to go Online, I'd have use another headset.*
Turtle Beach X3 is awesome but it does have issues June 12, 2008
I'm not a real audiophile like others have said about them selves but it does have better sound quality than most headphones I've tried for the 360 so far. The wireless aspect of it is very good too as well as being able to control both voice chat and in-game volume individually as well as hear yourself. But the big issue I've found is that if there is alot going on ingame with audio and voice chat, the speakers tend to cut out for a split second, and another issue is that if you have hair that covers the recievers it will create static through the hesdset. Overall it's a good headset if you don't want to disturb the other people in your house.
This product could save your relationship May 29, 2008
My original headset for the Xbox just stopped working. I didn't want to replace it with the same kind because I don't really trust a product that would just stop working so while I was on the hunt for a new and better headset I came across the Turtlebeach website and decided to order a pair. Not only is this a great headset for chatting online, it's also great for playing and not disturbing loved ones. If you do a lot of gaming and at night you can keep the volume low (or off) on the television and still get the hear the sounds from the game. Amazing product. So good that I bought their headset for the Wii as well.
 Got issues... May 28, 2008

Here's where it fails for me:
- the simple audio hook up of the transmitter to the XBOX 360 console does not work with HDMI only connections. To make a long story short:
My 63" plasma is built into a home theater wall. The xbox is hardwired to it via HDMI. I would think this is VERY common since HDMI is the best possible quality AND the fewest cables. In order to make this puppy work I have to now use the ANALOG XBOX cable octopus and put that to my TV OR hardwire the X3 transmitter via my wall to my TV out. That's just silly and poorly thought out. The issue here is that you're running unnecessary cables for just this headset.
- the sound comes with lots of white noise / hiss. Certainly not fit for 100$ headphones.You have to control this with multiple(!) dials on different components.
- There is absolutely NO spatial / surround effect. I.e. you play COD and have no idea if someone is coming from behind. For 100$ no 5.1.... I guess I should have read the description better instead of assuming it but again, for that kinda money it should be included.
Sorry, used to love TB soundcards but this is not up to snuff. Rave reviews are coming from lack of viable alternatives. We need more entrants in this market space.
Not sure how this made it as best in class.
