- True, Dolby 5.1 Channel Surround Sound: Gamers use visual and audio cues to help them excel in high-intensity gameplay. The X4 Dolby Headphone technology recreates positional audio that can only otherwise be achieved with a true 5.1 speaker system - so even though you're wearing headphones, you can actually hear enemies as they sneak up behind you, bullets fly by your head and other 3D sound cues in the game.
- Dolby Pro Logic II: The X4 also decodes Dolby Pro Logic II signals and expands stereo signals into a wider sound field that seems to originate from outside of the headphones. So it even improves the sound of games and audio sources (such as music) that might not have Dolby Digital soundtracks.
- Game Audio + Xbox LIVE Chat: Traditional, single-ear headsets place the Xbox LIVE chat conversation in one ear, degrading the game audio into a mono experience with the other ear. The Ear Force X4 mixes game audio and Xbox LIVE communication in the headphones, so you can hear the game in surround sound while chatting online. Separate volume controls allow you to independently set the game and chat levels.
- Premium Sound: While most headphones utilise 40mm speaker drivers, the X4 Headphones are designed for premium sound with oversized, high-fidelity, 50mm drivers powered by low distortion DC-coupled amplifiers that deliver smooth, deep rich bass sounds and crisp high frequencies to make game sounds come alive.
- Chat Boost Dynamic Talkback Expander: The headphones automatically adjust Xbox LIVE chat levels during loud game moments, so chat from teammates isn't lost in exciting parts of the gameplay. When the game volume quiets down, the chat level smoothly returns to the normal volume setting.
- Comfortable for long-play sessions: The X4 Headphones are lightweight, with large, deep, soft ear cushions that are easy on your ears, so you can play for hours with no discomfort.
The Ear Force X4 is the next-generation of Xbox 360 wireless headphones designed by the experts in gaming audio technology - Turtle Beach. The core design of the X4 is based on the popular Turtle Beach Ear Force X3 wireless Xbox 360 stereo headphones. Both the X3 and X4 use infrared wireless technology to transmit the game audio, however the X4 has many improvements, including a more powerful transmitter, headphones designed for greater comfort, and Dolby 5.1 channel Surround Sound to reproduce 3D positional sound cues that are otherwise obtainable only with surround sound speakers.
The X4 transmitter includes a digital signal processor (DSP) with an optical digital input that connects to the Xbox Dolby Digital audio output. The DSP decodes the Xbox Dolby digital stream into 5.1 channels and then uses Dolby Headphone post-processing with Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) technology to create realistic surround sound on the X4 Headphones. The result is an astoundingly accurate surround sound experience with the freedom to move around with wireless headphones. A unique Bass Boost sub-woofer filter network accentuates low frequencies for deep bass response from any type of input signal - music, games, movies, etc. - regardless of whether or not the source has a sub-woofer signal.

Got the headphones imported from america, with the plan of using them only at nightime.....i now use these no matter what time of day or night it is they are that good, the best way to describe the experience of these headphones would be imagine yourself sat in a cinema, or even in the game / film, you will hear teh sound no matter where its coming from, front, back, left, right etc. The great thing about these headphones is that they don't just connect to the xbox 360, because of the optical cable, they will also connect up with the ps3, but you cant use the voice chat on them on the ps3, but you can over xbox live
games will never sound better

Ive owned these for three weeks now and they realy are the dogs danglys. Why have top hd visuals and poor sound quality. These realy do deliver big time! If you want the edge in fps shooters, get these. You can tell in wich direction footsteps are coming from and it realy gives you the drop on them. Want a real brown underpant ride? The play deadspace or left4dead with these bad boys on. Very very clever piece of kit. And delivers 100% on all the bumf. 5.1 Dolby suround direct to your ears, and the mike works a treat. Expensive. But hey. Why spend upwards of £500 for hd tvs and have naff sound. A must buy for serious gamers both online and off. (As you dont have to use the mike if you dont want to)
An Absolute Must Buy

Odered from the U.S as soon as it was available and playing call of duty will never be the same again. You can hear absolutly everything from the buzzing of flies to hearing bomb plants from anywhere on the map. The surround sound is awsome have a expensive yamaha amp and speakers and it doesnt touch the headset for sound quality. Best add on for xbox 360 you can get.
