Ear Force X41 Review
For anyone who takes their gaming and multimedia experience seriously, there is nothing better than a good, quality headset. Whether you like to spend afternoons playing XBox or PS3, or recently got a new Blu Ray player, the experience is not complete until the audio experience has been addressed. This is where the Ear Force X41 comes in. Whereas many people will spend $1000 or more on a speaker system for their home, they may be less likely to spend 10% of that cost on a quality headset. This is understandable in a way, but there are good reasons to go the headset route, especially for gamers
While some see the drawbacks of a headset being that it can only be used by one person at a time, others see it as a benefit. For the times when background noise is too much, or those around you need their quiet, there is no need to sacrifice sound quality when an affordable and reliable headset fits the bill. At $169, as of this writing, the X41 by Ear Force are a great choice for both gamers and those looking to heighten the overall multi media experience.
A look at some of the positive features of the X41:
- Voice Correction. The headset receives feedback from the microphone as part of the overall sound signal. The result is that you are aware if you are yelling compared to speaking into the microphone.
- Optional connection of an extra headphone through an output jack, enabling two people to hear the game, movie or show at once.
- Dolby 7.1 Channel Surround Sound.
- Powered by USB into XBox or through a computer, eliminating need for a separate AC power adapter.
Are there any negatives?
- The headset does not connect directly to a TV, meaning it must connect to a computer or XBox.
- Only one X41 can be paired with the transmitter, meaning that while another headset can be joined, the transmitter can only connect one X41.
- These are not noise canceling. The volume is well contained, reducing outside noise, as well as the noise through the headset, but it is still something that can be heard at high volumes
The first issue that an audiophile looks for when purchasing a headset is sound quality. This headset has sound quality nearly perfected, as well as numerous features providing ease of use. As well, the headset has all the bells and whistles that take the overall product over the top.

What the X41 fails at is of course, the lack of noise canceling. While this may be considered a major drawback for some, most would consider it minor that is easily made up for in light of the benefits.. If there is no pressing need for true noise canceling, then this headset certainly comes highly recommended.
