Turtle Beach Ear Force X11 Headset:

I have to say I was very skeptical of this head set. I have tried other headsets and have been horribly disappointed in the past. Either they have broken from normal wear and tear within a week or the quality was so horrible back to the store they went. After I opened the box a red flag went up. The reason for my dismay, there were lots and lots of cords. Ok, maybe that’s exaggerating a little, but there are 5 connections that you have to deal with. First you have your red white plug-ins that give you your sound from either your audio out from your television, or they go in front of the audio in from your Xbox 360. (I chose the audio out since I can use it for my other gaming systems. ) Then you have the USB power cord, then there is the two 35mm audio in and mic connections. When I plugged everything in and actually sat down and used it I was surprised. The audio quality was amazing and being able to actually sit back away from the tv, (courtesy of the 16’ cord) was amazing. This headset is actually comfortable to wear. There is no grin and bear, no getting used to. They are comfortable out of the box. The only complaint that I got was that I was louder in the xbox live party than people using other head sets. All in all it gets a 10 out of 10 in the belldandy rating.
