Ear Force X4 Headphones: Surround Sound Cussing on Xbox 360

While we enjoyed gaming with the wireless surround sound headphones we tested in our Battlemodo, the major inherent flaw with the systems were their lack of voice-chat capabilities.

Turtle Beach's Surround Sound Cans Pump Up the Bass

It's hard finding a good pair of surround sound headphones, but Turtle Beach's new cans are not only promising superior surround sound, but also boomier bass. The HPA2s have been fitted with a bass enhancement that they claim will make explosions and gunfire sound like they're really coming from a sub (as opposed to your satellite speakers). The HPA2s will set you back $129 and will come with an attachable mic for online play. Most "surround sound" headphones usually fall short on the "surround" part, but $129 isn't much to invest for a new pair of cans. – Louis Ramirez More »

Turtle Beach Fails at Going Wireless for Gamers

In an "A for Effort" attempt, Turtle Beach has failed at helping the gamer go completely wireless. The Ear Force x2 Wireless Xbox Headphones is a pair of stereo headphones that can deliver both game sounds and Xbox Live chatter directly through the headset. The base station will connect to the audio outputs from your Xbox or Xbox 360 and then connect to the headphones wirelessly via infrared. The kicker, there are still wires connecting the headphones to Xbox controller for the Xbox Live chat and there is no more sound coming out of your television. This pair of semi-wireless headphones retails for $99.95. More »
