Turtle Beach EARFORCE X12

The Turtle Beach X12 is the definitive headset for gamers seeking amazing game sound, crystal-clear communication and enhanced comfort - all at an unmatched value. The X12 features massive 50mm speakers, delivering superior audio quality with crisp highs and deep, rumbling lows. The in-line amplifier puts you in control, with quick access to independent game and chat volume controls and variable bass. It also features an improved, acoustically-tuned, earcup design for greater comfort and better sound quality. Playing your favorite game with the X12 gives you a significant advantage because you can hear sound cues that are missed with speakers, such as the soft footsteps of an enemy sneaking up on you, or the click of a loading weapon in the distance. That means you'll react faster and take them out before they take you out, giving you a competitive edge that can make the difference between winning and losing. If you're serious about gaming, then get serious about the sound. Step up to the X12 and experience game audio like never before.

I have had these for about 3-4 months and they are on and off not working, if you unwind the 6 foot long cord it tangles and tears the cord making it unable to hear others, hear yourself, pickup your voice, etc. I will never buy another wired headset. Go spend the extra money for a descent wireless headset.

Personally, I am a sucker for Turtle Beach. I was very hesitant to buy the headset because of the price. I nearly jumped to the conclusion that the low price means low quality. That is not the case though this headset is simply FLAWLESS for the price it is. It is comfortable after you get used to it (which usually happens within the first day). Also, this headset is easily compatible with a computer. My #1 advice to ANYONE about this headset is to not let the price discourage you from buying this headset. I hope this helped you!

these were really good headsets but it came to a point where one of the headset just came off.(left side)-_-. i really hate that design where you can turn the headsets, why cant it be like beats where it just goes straight down without having the option of turning the headset. or maybe its just the cheap plastic that they use on the headset. and one thing to point out, i never ever dropped these headsets not even once, thats how much i took care of them. im really tired of buying new headsets so i think im just going to buy the bluetooth wireless mic for the xbox. im pretty sure that will last me more than half of a year -_-. sooo just saying if anyone buys this headset be prepared for that day because these turtle beaches will go bye bye.

I had these for about 7 months but by the 6th months the ear cups started to cut out everything, then the right ear cup broke off and by then the mic was broken so i replaces them with the AX 180 which is worth the extra money

The overall performance of the headset was great. I love the Bass Boost effect. The only problem i have with them is how long the wires are. I'm on my 4th pair because the wires would always tangled up sooooo bad, even when i kept them in a little bundle! but I would defiantly recommend this to someone!!

This is a great headset, I don't like the wireless headsets because of my experience with one. This product is a great buy! I have had it for a couple months now and have had no problems with it plus I kinda rage a lot and I throw thing and twist them and my headset has no decrease in quality , so as I say again this is defiantly a bargain for the quality and durability of this product.

I loved these, but after a month or so they became itchy around the ear, and the audio started to fade. I would recommend Tritton's headsets to anyone looking for comfort and quality. They have a nice design are extremely comfortable and the AX180's are worth the extra $10.

This is my second pair of X12's I've gone through and I think it's unnessecary for them to have a 16' cable. I don't know about other people but I usually game around 2-6 feet away from my TV and the cord is a terrible idea. My recent pair also had very fault wires in the headset it self, terrible solder job. Still a great headset though. Think I'll go wireless this time.

This headset is perfect for all gamers, Yes it's a wired headset but it is well worth the money.
The best part of this headset for me is you can hear the game through the headset so no tv volume is needed

overall the sound of this headset is good. there were only two problems that i had with this headset that keeps it from compairing to other headsets. the first being that when i use my xbox 360 charger it makes a slight buzzing noise and the second being that within the first couple of months the protective layer over the main wires has to pried off the base of the audio jack. overall the sound is great and the controllable base boost makes games sound amazing but it is not the perfect headset.

I bought these a year age in Febuary and they are awesome!!! I have not had one bit of trouble out of them what so ever. The cord is very long so you can move about if you need to but there is a velcro loop on the cord to make it smaller if you don't need the length. They are very comfortable and fit everyone I have let use them. The sound is just great no static or poping when the volume is turned up. The price was good for the product also.

The $60 is totaly worth the money. You can hear the game your playing, and the people whoes playing too. It has volume controll to adjust whoes talking, or the game. The headsets also have brass boost too. The quality is very good, and you should defenelty buy these headsets if you have the money. Whatever you do, dont buy the afterglow headsets, their TERRIBLE!
