Review Score:
Turtle Beach are one of the biggest names in the gaming audio industry and their products are favoured by gamers across the globe. We recently looked at one of their PC headsets – the Z6A, which was very impressive indeed. Going on past experiences we were very happy to receive their latest Xbox 360 headset to test.
Today we are going to look at the Turtle Beach Ear Force X12 gaming headset which is designed specifically for Xbox 360 gamers. It boasts an impressive specification which includes 50mm drivers and an in-line amplifier. It can also be used with PC which makes it ideal for those who game on both platforms.

Nice to see plenty of models for gamers. I like the look of this set, but I just bought a new corsair pair.

Turtle Beach headsets are pure overpriced garbage. You got ripped off. Ask any audiophile.
