High above the courtyard, you are holed up in the bell tower sniper rifle ready. You peer down the scope, survey the battlefield and notice one lonely soldier wandering out into the open.

Posted by: Tommy90 from Lake Orion, MI on 06/01/2013The first one I got the wire from the controller to the headset broke in the first day of use. I returned it for a new one and have used it for 2 months now and is still holding up well.

Non-honored warranty through store
1
Posted by: mattydid from OKC on 06/01/2013The customer service is horrible. I tried to return my DX-12 headset because a plastic piece broke. At the time of purchase I was told there was a 1-year warranty. When I tried replace the product because of the broken piece the warranty was not honored. The store is now telling me there is only a 90-day warranty. I checked online and the warranty is for 1-year. I contacted the store manager and he was not willing to honor the 1-year warranty. Instead of providing good customer service all he did was kept apologizing. I didn't want apologize, I just wanted someone who could handle their job and honor what was promised at the time of purchase.

Must Have for Xbox 360

Posted by: Trav21 from Hillsborough, NC on 05/05/2013The DSS2 takes the Turtle Beach X12's to a whole new level. People say oh you can't take a non surround sound headset and get surround sound but with the DSS2 it is you can. You can pin point exactly where enemy's footsteps are to easily take him down in COD and other FPS.

Very good.

Posted by: Shaneatthegeeksquad from on 03/30/2013The wires can get a little messy but I didn't want to pay the extra money for wireless. The sound quality is unbelievable! They fit me pretty well. After hours of use I can feel that they squeeze on my head kind of tight but nothing that bad.

Great headset for a gamer who likes detail
5
Posted by: floralelephant from Texas on 03/02/2013This was my first headset purchase for my Xbox. I've done plenty research on the various models by Turtle Beach and found the DX12 to be perfect. I was looking at the X12, because of the price, but did not want to give up surround sound. While the X42 is wireless and basically the same thing as DX12, I didn't want to be replacing batteries after each gaming session. I love FPS and this headset proved to be amazing for them.The quality of sound makes the maps in Modern Warfare feel as if I'm discovering them for the first time. The sound of the weaponry, as well as the character dialogue, is enough persuasion for me to buy them. During Halo 4, the sounds make you feel as if you are there. I also love how they fit. They completely encompass your ears to a point you forget you are wearing them. I played the Sniper Elite V2 demo with this headset, and it definitely took the game to a whole new level.
If you are in the market for a headset, I definitely recommend these. While they do carry a heavier price tag, your money will not be wasted!
