Universal Wireless Headset XP500

The Turtle Beach XP500 is a special version of the critically-acclaimed PX5 that's designed specifically for the XBOX 360 and includes an XBA Bluetooth adapter for wireless XBOX Live chat. Just like the PX5, the XP500 delivers the ultimate gaming audio experience with a programmable digital signal processor, Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound, Bluetooth technology, and XBOX LIVE wireless chat, making it the most technologically advanced headset ever designed for the XBOX 360. The DSP allows gamers to enhance and personalize the entire gaming audio experience with fully customizable game, chat and mic signals. Custom presets stored in the Turtle Beach XP500 headset can be selected during specific parts of the game to emphasize sounds like footsteps or reloads that might otherwise be difficult to hear. It can even be programmed to disguise your voice or to enhance the voices of online players so you can hear them more clearly during intense parts of the game.Bluetooth technology lets you chat wirelessly on XBOX LIVE and PSN, answer mobile phone calls and stream music - all while gaming in immersive 360 degree surround sound.Although optimized for Xbox 360 gaming, the Turtle Beach XP500 is also perfect for watching movies and listening to music, with its impeccable audio performance, large, deep, fabric cushions, soft headband, and twist cup designed for resting the headset on your shoulders. The Turtle Beach XP500 continues the evolution of a new breed of wireless gaming headset that serves as the ultimate "secret weapon" in the arsenal of serious gamers seeking unmatched audio quality, sonic control and a competitive advantage

Amazing headset. The XP500's are comfy, lightweight and easy to use. The only complaints are the clicking and popping caused by the interference from my wireless router and the fact that it takes AA batteries.For $290, I feel they should be rechargeable. I also have PX3's and they are rechargeable. Because of the Bluetooth, I'm going through sets left and right. As far as sound quality, words can't describe how fantastic they are.

This is by far and away the best headset I have ever ourchased. The ability to sync both the controller and my iphone at the same time is perfect for uninterrupted gaming. The quality of sound is unmatched and its customization is endless. The only con is that it is as expensive as a new xbox. I'm so glad i decided to pull the trigger and purchase this.

I bought this headset about a month ago and it is amazing! The only problems with it is I don't feel like the ear cups mold to my ears, maybe that's just because I'm used to my studio beats, but whatever. Another thing is sometimes it can be difficult to sinc the Bluetooth with the 360 controller. You can buy a physical cable for that instead if you're having problems sincing though. Other than that, these things are incredible! These things have saved my life so many times on mw3 because you can easily hear people coming up behind you. I just can't stop saying good things about it.

The best headphones money can buy. Very comfy. Sounds are awesome especially presets. Blue tooth comes in handy if you have your phone connected you can listen to your music off it or answer calls and you can connect to PS3. No real problems what so ever just like every headset dont put them close to your Router or Modem. Completely WIRELESS which is great so no tripping on wires. Its not complicated to hook up either. You can even hook up your friends wired headset to it just so your friend can hear the surround sound on his headset like X12's at the same time. Worth the money if you looking for Comfort, Sound, and Quality. Most Definitely RECOMMEND XP500!

Best headset for shooting online games because I can hear all around me with the 7.1 surround sound and it's wireless so I won't get the wires tangled up,

Ok so the price is steep I agree but they are indeed worth the money. This set up is for serious gamers that want the best. if you dont play often it may not be worth it to you. everything about them is top of the line
