Some readers may remember me from my X4 review. Here we are a little over a year later and I am once again tearing into the box of a shiny new pair of Turtle Beach headphones. I liked the X4s, so why did I invest another $200 on the X41s? Because the X4s had some issues, common issues included sound glitches at certain frequencies (press the B button in Shadowrun), interference from other IR sources (like the Wii sensor bar), and a noticeable hiss when using the voice function. These issues did not ruin the X4s, in fact they were still one of the best gaming centric headphones, and THE best wireless gaming headphones, but the issues could be annoying. Thankfully, the X41s claim to fix everything wrong with the X4s and add some new features to boot. Do they live up to the hype or have hidden issues?

For the rest of my review I will be doing some comparison to the X4 in every aspect of these X41 headphones, as well as comparing them to the other options available. I may leave... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Turtle Beach finally moves into the 21st century, August 30, 2009

This review is from: Ear Force X41 (XBOX LIVE Chat + Wireless Digital RF Game Audio with Dolby Headphone 7.1 Surround Sound) (Video Game)
I purchased the Turtle Beach Ear Force X1 wired headset nearly 2 years ago; I love them even though they're wired and hurt my ears after several hours of gaming. I though tried upgrading to the Ear Force X3 wireless headphones about six months ago, but they were HORRIBLE. Infrared technology should only be used for a TV remote. Any time someone walked in front of me or I turned my head the wrong way they'd stop working.... they were immediately returned. When I saw the Ear Force X41 headset at a local electronics store and read "7.1 surround" and "RF technology" on the package I couldn't stop grinning... until I found the price tag.

With a great deal of hesitation I purchased the $200 Ear Force X41 headset... I took a bit of coaxing to convince my wife it was a worthwhile purchase. ;)

COMFORT: The x41 is slightly more comfortable than the old EarForce x1. The earpiece is slightly larger, more circular than the old X1 - X3's by Turtle Beach, and they're also... Read more

I just purchased a pair of Turtle Beach x41's off Amazon. Here's a little review, based on my limited experience with them.

The Good:

+ Easy to setup. The instructions are somewhat abstruse, and not detailed. I had to sort of fill in the blanks, but overall it was quite easy. I think anyone can do it.

+ Comfortable. The headset is lightweight, and has decent padding. It does begin to hurt my ears after a couple hours.

+ Features. The x41 offers a ton of awesome features, including RF technology and Dolby Digital 7.1.

The Bad:

- The transmitter cannot be connected to my LCD HDTV via the optical port and still get Dolby Digital surround sound. You NEED the Xbox 360's AV/Optical plugs in order to access DD 7.1. Most new Xbox's don't include this cable, so it's an additional expense if you want to use this headset. No point in buying these instead of the x31's if you can't get Dolby.

- Occasional scratching,... Read more
