Fat Bastard Review: Turtle Beach X1 *update

This is basically a quick review in bullet form and then some additional comments at the end if any.



Positive:
• Usable with Xbox 360 and PC
• Separate volume controls for in game audio and voice chat. (360 only)
• Very long cable
• Great for late night gaming.
• Mic mute button
• Adjustable and comfortable headset… at least to me.
• Great bass boost from amplifier
• Reasonable price ($60)
• Mic and audio quality is excellent

Negative:
• Too many cables
• Not usable with PS3
• Does not have 5.1 surround sound
• I get a weird feedback noise whenever the 360 controller vibrates

For the most part, I am happy with my purchase. I just wished I waited a little longer because Turtle beach just came out with the PX1. It’s compatible with the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. My only real complaint is that I wish everything worked through the USB plug. I just thought I should throw out there that it does not have 5.1 surround sound. It’s not really a negative. It’s just to let you know it doesn’t have it.

If you have an Xbox 360 I recommend this. If you have a PS3 and/or Xbox360, get the PX1 model. I know I haven’t tried the PX1 model, but after using the X1 I’m pretty sure the quality will be just as good.

***Update*** Looks like all I need is an adapter and I can use this with the PS3!
