Review: Turtle Beach X12 Gaming Headset

The Ear Force 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 adjustable bass. With separate connections for microphone and line signals, the X12 also makes a great PC gaming headset.

The X12 builds on the success of the legendary X11, the best selling XBOX gaming headset of all time, adding 50mm speakers and adjustable bass for professional-grade sound quality that delivers a competitive advantage. With the X12, you can hear sound cues that are missed with conventional TV speakers, such the sound enemy footsteps, 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 the edge that can make the difference between winning and losing. You'll also enjoy unsurpassed comfort during extended game play thanks to the large, deep-cushioned ear cups and rugged, lightweight design.

If you're serious about gaming, then get serious about the sound. Step up to the X12 and experience game audio like never before.

@ROLLSOFAMAN4433 Locate the white and red RCA jacks for your Xbox 360 and plug them up to the splitter that comes with your Turtle Beaches.

I cant hear game sounds. Any ideas???

[OwnDiZzL3]

@ROLLSOFAMAN4433 How do you have it set up? Also, make sure the game volume dial on the in-line amplifier isn't all the way down...

I got these yesterday and been playing mw3 all night last night. They flat out rock. Bass is extra crisp, the highs don't kill your ears even at high volume.

As far as the hiss, there is a TINY I mean tiny amount of hiss that you hear when the headphones are on and there is no other noise playing on them. As soon as the gaming or music starts, there is absolutely no trace of feedback or hissing from them.

These definitely pick up footsteps well. You can hear SO MANY sounds that you miss with

@theoneuafter I'm glad you like them =)

@MrTestNTune only the dx12 is surround sound. it is the x12 with the dss surround sound adaptor,if thats what you meant

[MrTestNTune]

I hear people say they are good stereo headphones but it say's 7.1 or surround sound on box ? Do I have to buy an adapter or something I heard about to mix them in Dolby Digital or something?
