Great pair of Headphones. Directional awareness is spot-on. Crisp highs. A little uncomfortable as the foam pads are not the softest..just give your ears a little time to get used to the feeling and it doesn't become an issue. Partnered with the wireless mixamp and you have a lovely marriage of portable headphones with 5.1 surround sound. Great for FPS fans. LIME service is good..only downside is the constant engaged tone when trying to get in contact.(sorry about that we are extremely busy right now so please be paitient if you leave messages we will always call back) Overall I'm very happy with these pads. Two Thumbs Up. |

Ordered a Mixamp and aTurtle Beach HPx headset from LIME, I must say that I have never had better service anywhere than that which I received from LIME, they really do go above and beyond for their customers.
BTW the headset/mixamp combo is great. I bought them to stop the wife from complaining about the noise when I'm gaming but I was surprised to find my scores climbing as well, you really can tell exactly where an opponent is just by sound.
Many thanks |

wow.. When i first got the HPX they werent so comfortable as my ears were to big for the small cushions... So I took my X11 cushions and put them on the HPX and it was AMAZING they feel so good now. Also the sound is 5 stars much better than astro a40, the sound is crisp and clear. BEST HEADSET EVER. |

This headset is fantastic as the sound quality compared to the astro a40's are incredibly. If you think the A40's are good these HPX's are just Super they have fantastic bass and the 5.1 soround sound is sick ! (I can hear claymores being put down across the map on cod4 & Mw2 These will help me big time in CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS)everyone buy this headset !

I bought these for use in conjuction with the Astro mix amp which i will reveiw seperately , i wont go into the whole A40 turtle beach debate as ive not owned a set of A40's to compare them too , however i did run side by side comparisons with my previous headset the turtle beach X4's and for pure sound quality im pleased to say the HPX-1's are better , there's less bass than the X4's which is a good thing imo as its either all or nothing on the X4's, but it's the seperation of the other sounds and directional cues where these more than come into there own , i can really pin point sounds with these and the clarity is amazing . The ear cups are comfortable felt, the right size to cover my ear completely and they fit my head with just the right tension ,i can game all night without issue , the mic sound quality is good and people have no trouble hearing me on XBL the only downside is it doent rotate up out the way and has to be removed if you want it out the way for any reason . |

Fantastic cans - much better than the A40s, although lacking when used for music.
Great in game sound stage and well balanced bass. |

Nice headset. Different sound quality to A40s - both are good mind. HPXs are a little more bassy than A40s. Had a problem with Mixamp recently, but Lime are on the case and providing great service as usual - can't wait to get it back so I can game with the HPX or A40s again! If anyone is trying to decide on these or the A40s here are my views of the pros of each:
A40s: I find them more comfortable than HPX as they are over-ear; nice clear sound; cups swivel so they can be rested on chest; microphone can be rotated up; look good;
HPX: bassier than A40s; less sound leak as they are more 'closed' than A40s; microphone more flexible than A40s, but cannot be rotated out of the way; nice soundstage.
Hope this review helps other gamers out there! |

I bought this headset after already owning the full astro a40 audio system and this headset with the mix amp sounds alot better than the a40 headset. |

This headset is just great. Its sooooooooooo much better in every way than the A40s, the sound is amazing and the comfort is aswell (after you've streched them out) and they dont break! |

These headphones are brillant, the only thing is that you need to buy the astro mixamp but when you get the astro mizamp... DAMN there brillant !!! 5.1 surround sound never sounded so good! 10 out of 5 stars for customer service. Thanks Chris |

Got these from here with the mixamp. Subsequently used other high end headphones with the mixamp. The hpx more than hold their own with higher priced headphones and are amazing value for money. If you can get hold of them, buy them! |

These headphones are amazing. The microphone is very clear, and the sound quality is unbelieveable! I can even hear people using Dead Silence on CoD4! (Note: Reviewed using the Astro Gaming A40 MixAmp) |
