Video Game Reviews of Ear Force X4 Dolby Digital Wireless (Headphones)
Customer Review: Save your money!
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this because I was told by a few friends that its awesome. That its true surround sound and you can hear peoples footseps "across the map".
thats not the case at all. Playing Call of Duty 4 I have only heard footsteps behind me once and that was on stairs right behind me. usually all you hear is explosions and gun fire, its information overload. The surround sound doesnt work well at all IMO it just sounds like some fairly good stereo speakers.
Tried it with guitar hero hoping it would sound awesome and it just sounded OK. You couldnt turn it up that loud to really rock out either.
Finally the microphone seems to short out, the other day my brother couldnt hear me, I kept unplugging and replugging and toggling the mute back and forth, no luck.
I would not buy again, no chance. IMO if you want the turtle beach go with the X1 with the coord its only like $50 and is prob just as good.

These work great!! I love the sound quality is AWESOME and the range is great. It works great for watching a TV and playing my XBOX 360. I Love them!!Customer Review: Ear Force X4 Headphones
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently purchased the Turtle Beach X4 headphones for my XBox360. The description of the headphones fit exactly what I was looking for...wireless headphones for watching movies and playing video games. There are a couple minor issues with the headphones, but the benefits by far outweigh the problems. Problem 1). There is a slight hissing sound that you eventually learn to ignore. These are not Bose noise canceling headphones, but it's good to know about this before purchasing them. Problem 2). The headphones do cause your ears to get warm after wearing them for long periods of time. These are over the ear headphones and I've noticed that my ears get warm due to the lack of air circulation. Having said that...I'm able to comfortably wear these headphones through a 3 hour movie without problems.
The microphone works really well with the Xbox360. Online conversations are heard much more easily and the microphone can be re-positioned with ease.
I love these headphones and would recommend them to anyone.
Customer Review: DO NOT BUY!
Summary: 2 Stars
Do not get them, here is why!:
1) there is actually a lag in sound from the picture, I guess it is because of it being "wireless". watch Riverdance on youtube, you will see the legs movement and the sound are out of sync! while on my wired 5.1 headphones are in sync
2) the damn "Hiss" sound is permanent, even after removing the mic, you have to turn the volume very low for it to disappear! it is very annoying when watching a movie!
Customer Review: works as advertised
Summary: 4 Stars
The products works well as advertised. Other than the helpful reviews already written, a few items to point out:
-the microphone is detachable
-auto off feature works well
-comes with a SFDIF cable unlike similar products
-nice way to store the headphones onto the transmitter
-color scheme matches the non-elite xbox 360
-cable lengths are nice and long
-earcups are felt and is my main complaint
