 Good August 30, 2010
Alexander Jock
I got these for my girlfriends brother. He thinks they are the cats meow. I have not tried them out yet myself but he loves them. A little pricy but its good quality sound and well if your a spouse or a sister its great so your not awake in the wee hours of the night listening to other peoples racket untill they start cussing because they suck at call of duty or something. All in all well worth the purchase.

Top of the Line sound for a reasonable price August 15, 2010

My wife bought me this gaming headset for my birthday, and I can honestly say it's improved my game from the start. I mostly play MW2, the headphones improve your ability to hear footsteps and sense direction of enemy players. Helped the most in FFA but it's changed my game 100% for the better. The sound quality is excellent; I haven't had a use for the 'bass boost' but it probably will have a purpose someday. I have heard of people saying there is a 'static' in the background when using chat: it's minimal and you won't even notice it during the game. Even when it's quiet you won't really pick it out. It should not be a reason to avoid this headset. I was worried about batteries vs. being wired, but the only batteries needed are for the headset itself and they last a good amount of time. They are comfortable, your ears do NOT sweat (unlike some other headsets) and you have the ability to play for hours, with the volume UP, without bothering anyone. You will be a better gamer with them, and yes, the wireless and 7.1 surround is worth the extra cash. Buy these if you want to go positive more often.
An improvement? I guess so.... August 14, 2010
Amy L. Stone (Anniston, AL)
I purchased this pair of X41's as an upgrade to my X3's (now renamed X31's). I have always been happy with my X3's, as they had rich, deep bass, and an overall good balance of high and low tones. The only problem with them was the weak construction. So I splurged for the X41's. While I'm not totally blown away, it is an improvement. Here are some of the pros and cons I have experienced with this particular product. While most of the comparisons are for FPS games, I have yet to test this set on movies, action games or others.
Pros:
The bass is not nearly as rich and enveloping as the X3's. This may sound like a bad thing, but given the fact that the X41's produce much clearer high tones, it balances itself out nicely. I can hear footsteps, static (game noise), bullets clinking on the ground, etc. Explosions sound great. For example, in Halo 3, I could hear static and hissing along with electrical noises in a destroyed ghost. It was amazing!!
The wireless is good as well. I have a Linksys Wireless N Router about 4 feet from my Turtle Beach receiver. I have not had any problems with too much interference. I do turn off my computers and laptop when I use the headphones as a precaution.
The headset is considerably lighter than it's predecessor, the X3. The ear cups fit nicely, and are cool and comfortable. It does seem as if it will need some TLC to keep them in good working order (i.e., putting them back on the stand after playing). These are not headphones that you can just toss of your head in a fit of rage (already went through 2 sets of X3's that way...shameful =]) Treat them gingerly, and they will treat you well. It even fit well over my nerd glasses. =] No digging into my head after a few hours of gameplay. The headband itself is much wider. I have a small/narrow head, so I was skeptical as how they would fit me. No worries though, they fit great.
There is a removable mic, which is great if you want to use this with a PC or other kind of device. It also features a separate headphone jack in the front, so a friend can listen to Dolby surround sound as well. I hooked up a pair of SkullCandy Ti's to it, and it sounded great! This is good for guests who play online (they cannot chat anyway).
Cons:
Occasional popping and hissing with these headphones. I too concur that I experienced the infamous snap, crackle, pop of all the other reviewers. While it's not constant, it does get annoying sometimes. I cannot say that I am entirely disappointed either. I bought a wireless headset. It's bound to have some hiccups along the way. The X3's also had a low humming/hiss as well, and when someone walked in front of the IR receiver, the sound would cut out completely! The X41's are a definite improvement over the X3's in this matter.
Shotgun blasts sound as if you were shooting them out of a tin can. The bass is not nearly low enough for these particular sounds. For example, the X3's shotgun blasts (on Halo 3) sound AMAZING. A deep, guttural rumble that you can feel the vibrations from. With the X41's, you get a higher, treble filled shotgun blast. You can hear the snap of the shells leaving the chamber, and the pump of the shotgun sounds more like a mechanical tinker than low series of deep click-clacks. This is just a nitpick. The mauler (on Halo 3) sounds offensive at best. Hammers, BR's, Assault Rifles all have amazing sounds. Sniper rifle fire is accompanied by a whiz of the bullet (if being fired in your direction). Reverb is also good on Sniper Rifles.
All in all, it's a good headset. I do not believe that it's worth the 160 dollar price tag. I would say drop it to 100 bucks and it would be a great deal.
If you're looking for a good headset, but strapped on cash, check out the X3's (X31's). They are a good alternative for a smaller price bracket.
Happy Gaming!!
Perfect - a must buy for Gamers and Netflix usage August 12, 2010
Mark D. Newcomb
It was easy to install and use. Works perfectly. Excellent clarity and vibrant sound.
I was a bit on the wall about buying this at first, however, after playing Modern Warfare and watching a couple of Netflix movies I cannot see why anyone would hesitate in buying it.
Kudos to Turtle Beach!
