Customer Reviews

Got this headset because I am up at night a lot and don't want to wake up others in the house with my surround sound system. I considered the PX5's and x41's but ultimately went with the PX3's because they're rechargeable (unlike the PX5's) and appeared to be made much better than the x41's.
I've had them for a few days now and so far I'm extremely happy with them. They're super comfortable and sound great. I know they don't have "true" surround sound, but when I'm playing shooters I can locate sounds instantly. It makes me wonder what it would be like with the DSS add-on. Playing COD I noticed that even when I get flashed, I'm still able to quickly turn to the correct direction most times and get a decent chance at taking the guy down, which is something that was difficult even with my surround sound system. Also, the way the RCA cord is designed allows you to run any other sound systems you might have straight through the headphones' red-white audio cord. This was one of the things I was apprehensive about prior to buying as I was not looking forward to switching the cords out all the time, but I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box to find such a well-designed cord.
The only reason I'm not giving this a five-star rating is because at times the sound can get a little bit digitized (the way that poorly compressed videos sometimes sound), but it's nothing distracting and it's not even present in most games. I've only noticed it in Dragon Age where there's a lot of quiet scenes with talking, and even then it only seems to happen with certain voices.
Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to anyone. Useful for FPS players as well as just people like me who don't want to disturb those around them. Even as a bit of an audiophile myself, I'm very happy with these headphones.

Battery lasted 45 minutes even after charging overnight. I tested this day after day. 45 minutes is as long as the battery will last before beeping. Can't charge while playing either even though the box clearly brags about this feature.
Unit starts beeping when the headset is plugged into receiver for charging. Then it shuts off and you can't use it. Sound quality is mediocre. Nothing like the Turtle Beach DX11 I had. Feels like cheap plastic. Definitely not worth the money. I gave it two stars because the wireless range is awesome. I walked through three rooms and even outside and the sound didn't drop quality at all.
I sent this back and bought the cheaper X12 model and used the DSS amp that my old DX11 came with. Sound is 10x better.
