First Ear Force X4 Gaming Headset - Review

A couple months ago PlanetXbox360 brought our readers a review of Turtle Beach's Ear Force X3 gaming headset and ended up very happy with their wireless offering. Now we have a chance to put the newest edition in the Ear Force series, the X4's, through its paces. What Turtle Beach did was take all the complaints or constructive criticism received on its X3 product and fixed, tweaked, or modified them into this new gaming headset. The situations where a gamer would need a high quality wireless set of headphones for their Xbox 360 is coming about more and more as developers push the limits on the audio portions of today's next-gen video games. Featuring full Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound support and a slew of other features helps catapult the X4's into the top choice for gaming headphones.

three of my friends have the last Turtle Beach model and I was very close to buying one; but, there's been some issues. They can usually always hear me, but when the batteries are low (and they can never tell but they always are) I can barely hear them at all. They really drain the batteries too they say.

Weird, I had no issue whatsoever with the X4's and battery life, the X3's yes but not so much with the new model; I have put 10+ hours into them and not replaced the batteries once, plus everyone can always hear me ultra-clear on the other side when playing Xbox Live games!

I'll ask em if it's the x3 or x4 they're on... maybe they have older models than I think.

Maybe so, the X4 just came out in a few stores last week but is still sort of hard to find!

Why Dark Souls 2 Deserves a Second Chance in 2025

As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.

Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.

And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.

I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.

Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.

Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.

PrimeVinister2d ago

Completely fair. I cannot disagree either, mate.

You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.

It’s not a bad game it’s just not as good as the others

The controls felt very clunky to me, I tried playing it after beating Darksouls 3 and it didn’t feel fluid, obviously the hit detection is less superior for been an older game.
