Turtle Beach X3 Instructions

There is no need to turn down the volume of your game to keep from disturbing others because Turtle Beach's Ear Force X3 headset allows you to listen to the game audio as loud as you want through a comfortable, wireless headset. The standard Xbox 360 headset is designed to allow you to listen to chat with one ear, and leaves the other ear free to listen to the game audio. With the Turtle Beach Ear Force X3 headset, you can listen to the game audio and chat with both ears, contributing to a better gaming experience.
