Product Description
PC gamers rely on headphones to eliminate distracting noise around them, so they can concentrate on their game play and hear every nuance of the game audio. Stereo headphones with an integrated PC microphone are incompatible with the Xbox 360, so gamers are forced to choose between using standard headphones and talking online. Conventional Xbox communicator headsets cover one ear for chat, leaving only a single ear for hearing game audio from the speakers. The Ear Force X3 overcome this problem by pumping game audio AND online chat through high-fidelity headphones to deliver the privacy, clarity, and competitive edge of PC headphones on the Xbox 360 platform. They're also designed to enhance the Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming experience by enabling the user to independently control volume of amplified chat and game audio - a first for wireless headphones. Designed for premium sound, the X3s feature 40mm drivers in each ear cup and are powered by low distortion DC-coupled amplifiers for deep, rich bass sound. Engineered for long-gaming sessions, the headphones incorporate a soft, cushioned, adjustable headband, deep ear pads and tilting ear cups to fit the contours of the gamer's head. No matter if your priority is physical comfort, headset options or audio clarity, the Ear Force X3 wireless Xbox headphones will hold up to the test. Headset usable with other gaming systems (mic for Xbox 360 only)

headphone / mic.......2007-11-05
The product is awesom,w ,,,, BUT >>>> it can only be used for the XBOX system. I was looking for a PC compatible product. The ad did not mention the limitation to Xbox only,
Good deal BUT>>>.......2007-10-25
First thing first, Amazon has the best price for this than anywhere else. The headphones are good. They produce good sound and the mic is good. The headset has the function to control your volume as well as in game volume. Here is where it kind of goes down hill. I was recently playing HALO3 with it. I noticed that EVERY time there was a grenade toss, vehicle explsion, and even the 50 cal on the back of the warthog was fired the sound would just cut off. It seems as though the headset just cancels it out completely which of course takes you out of the game. I tried turning off the bass boost, and yet the samething happened again. It's like a dropped call, you can get it back but its so annoying. I tried it with other games and the best thing to do is lower the game volume which kinda sucks cause that was the point of the headset to HEAR the game without diturbing others.
The red & white plugs right to the back of your 360. I have home theater with digital sound so it left the R&W slots open just for this device. The sensors are on the headset but the signal box must plug into the wall. If your like me you already have a jungle of cords behind the tv and not enough room for another plug for power. Why it couldn't use the usb for power, I don't know.
The device loses cool points for being so blocky. My fiance constantly laughs when she sees me with it and can't understand why she is marrying a geek.
Also, you can listen to movies without disturbing neighbors. You don't even have to turn on the controller. It uses 2 AAA which doesn't suck power from the controller.
Good price, good quality, Hear ambience you may not have noticed before.
Lose cool points, Too many explosions the headset just cancels out the noise.
Quality control needed.......2007-10-22
After using the X3 for 2 days, the microphone quit working which negates their usefulness while playing online. The background hum that is mentioned is always present (ambient noise) but its not too noticeable while playing.
Follow-up note. Turtle Beach's support site says about the connecting cable to the controller :
"In fact this issue appears in 'epidemic'
numbers, overshadowing any other issue with our Headphones. No kidding here!We are sorry but this is not a manufacturing defect as some have suggested."
I'm sorry but there is a design or manufacturing defect with this cable. Mine was not abused and stored when not in use but yet it promptly failed.
Awesome.......2007-10-19
Since I cannot change the star grade a provided originally, I am writing this new review and providing a full 5/5. I had a snaffu with batteries, thinking this puppy was consuming batteries at an abnormal rate. After realizing that the batteries I originally used were not Alkaine and the rechargeable batteries were not fully charged, well how the heck was I expecting over 10 hours of use?
It's a great headset that has helped me listen to sounds I did not know existen in my games (since I always played with the volume down).
As a wishlist for the next headset, if an X4 is in design and development - lithium batteries and 5.1 audio.
Turtle Beach has fantastic customer service. They are quick to answer and on the money when providing guidance.
Peace
Good for games and Movies.......2007-10-11
I have never used headphones so I am still getting used to them. After having them on for about an hour it hurts my right ear a little from the way they fit but it is probably just an adjustment thing. As far as sound they are fantastic. They are not surround sound but they work very well. I can stay up and play XBOX with them on the TV in the bedroom and my wife can sleep no problem. It really immerses you in the game. They also kill outside noise in the room. If my wife talks to me (she is 3 foot away) I dont hear her and when she touches my arm to get my attention it usually scares me because I am so into the game. They are also great for my insomnia because I can watch a movie and she can sleep at the same time. Ok, it doesn't HELP with the insomnia but makes dealing with it better.
Oh, they also almost weigh nothing. This makes them feel a little cheap but they are very well made. You just have to get over the "heavy is quality" mentality. They are designed that way and you don't even notice them on your head about 20 seconds after you put them on. They work exactly like they should.

Looking for hi-fidelity sound that doesn't take up any floor or shelf space? The new W22 provides the kind of transparent, neutral, wide-range sound you expect from Axiom, without any of the compromises that plague other in-wall speakers. Other in-walls rely on the wall cavity to tune the bass output, resulting in a speaker whose performance varies from wall to wall and room to room. Additionally, the drivers' rear output produces distorted sound in the neighboring rooms.
Overcoming these drawbacks, the W22 features a fully integrated enclosure that recesses into the wall, combined with an attractive exterior baffle portion that keeps the speaker's woofer and tweeter away from the sound-degrading effects of the wall's front surface. The speaker ports are cleverly hidden at the base of the outer baffle.
The W22 on-wall/in-wall hybrid speaker preserves the sonic clarity of its bookshelf equivalent, the M22, and adds a slim profile that is a perfect complement to today's modern low-profile plasma and LCD TV screens. The dual 5 1/4-inch aluminum cone woofers enable louder playback levels and greater power handling in larger rooms.
A supplied self-clamping frame anchors the speaker firmly to the wall when the screws are tightened. The series is available in a variety of attractively-finished front baffles to suit any decor.
