Ordered after 3:30 on Thursday and came on Saturday! Lime answer your questions quickly and efficiently and have a large stock! Many other companies have a smaller stock than lime and aways run out of x4's! Thinking about buying the cheap x3's, dont pay the extra £60 and you will not be dissapointed! A must buy to any serious gamer!! |

Well worth buying, best head set I have ever used, the sound is AWSOME and the service from Lime fantastic, If only every Xbox 360 came equiped with them, now wouldnt that be something. |

Pros: Nice deep bass, loud, good quality sound, believable Dolby 5.1, Light and Comfortable, Good Mic for Chat (people can hear you clearly and you can hear them even when you are blasting the volume). Good quality build. Cons: When there is nothing going on noise wise there is a clear background hiss but to be honest - if you're playing a game this will only be 1% of the time. Since they encompass your head so much you end up shouting rather than talking (especially bad when swearing with the window open....my girlfriend told me. lol). You cannot complain about any of these cons though at the price. A good purchase. |

These are the BUSINESS. 360 games sound even better. L4D, COD4, COD:WAW. Blu-ray discs also sound awesome. Watched Deathrace and sound quality is fantastic. You will not be disappointed. |

Received the item first thing monday afternoon ordered friday lunch. Great fast confirmation and quality product. All the reviews i read here seem to show truth and it has been a great addition to my gaming collection. Also as there seems to be constantly changing release dates on other sites, this is the only real UK place to get them until April. Thanx alot. |

got these the next day as you would on next day delivery, got to say they are good wireless headphones no wires which is a big plus. With only 1 speaker in each ear how do they get true 5.1 surround. was going to get the tritton axpro but just to many wires. These will do just nice thanks |

I bought these headphones on the recommendation of a friend. First and foremost, I need headphones that can be used with xbox live to chat while playing CoD4/WaW. This headset does not disappoint at all, clear voice chat, excellent mic and you can hear your own voice back through the headset. For xbox live chat, they are excellent and far superior to other headsets I have owned.
Dolby Digital Surround sound quality is also excellent, though as has been mentioned, there is a slight hiss, but once the game/DVD starts it is not noticeable (inherent problem with wireless technology I suppose). £140 may seem a big chunk of cash but I would sell my gran to get another pair of X4's, they really are that good.
Just a note on the quality, go into CoD 4 multiplayer, go to Courtyard, head south by the wooden ramp and crouch down by the bins. Are you there? Can you hear the flies buzzing round the bins? Bet you never heard that before eh? That's how amazing the sound is from these headphones. |

Orderd them yesterday and 3.45pm, arrived the next morning at 9am!! So,are they worth the money? Put it this way, I had to keep checking to see if my surround sound system had come on by its self!! Crisp, and have a wide sound range, distort a little with volume up high, but unless you want to go deaf then there's no need to crank them up that high. Slight, and I do mean SLIGHT background hiss, you won't notice it I promise. Comfortable and light. Mic is great, fantastic being able to hear yourself clearly in the ear peices. And like Chris says below, you DON'T need an adaptor for the plug, comes with a English three pin. If you like your gaming, and LOVE good sound then buy one of these beauties, a MUST. Beg borrow, ebay old stuff, you have to get your self a pair! |

Just recieved the X4's. Firstly I would like to say how excellent the service has been from Lime. Easy ordering process, confirmation of booking and dispatch. I asked for next day and that's exactly what i got. I am always a little apprehensive when ordering online, especially when spending a tidy sum, but Lime really didn't put a foot wrong and have completley earned my trust. Now for the X4's, they are simply amazing. I have been playing both GTA4 and COD5 and the surround is fantastic. You can pin point all threats and has made me a better player already, well worth every penny. My only very small critism is that haflway down the description of the X4's it says you need to buy a US to UK plug adaptor which i did so I was fully prepared. The X4's I have recieved have a UK plug so could have saved £6.99. Apart from that i have nothing but praise for Lime and the TB X4's.(Admin we have nowremoved this sorry for any inconvenience caused) Grab'em. |

Very Good Headset, Give it a couple of sessions to get used to the feeling and the sound becuase when you do, you won't notice they are there (seriousley, ZERO pain, can't beleive it) and the sound is good/great, you will here at least directional sounds and more detail, and they go really loud if you're into that.
Took me a while to find a perfect place for transmitter as it wasn't as big of an infared field I expected, but sitting on top the plasma works good I just realised, and a little interference if you go really close to PLASMA, about 1.5ft but thats too close to go anyway.
Great service from lime, next day = next day.
Big dent in the wallet, but you get a comfy, wireless, good sounding, well built and lasting piece of kit for that price so over time, it is worth it. |

What more can i say but wow!!!! i have had the x4s for two weeks now and all i can say is they are outstanding i have not looked back spending £140 on these. even my mate who came around to my house and used them just sat playing cod5 with the biggest grin on his face. these are a must for any gamer and i can say you will not regret spending the money. |

I was a bit dubious on how good these would be, however when they arrived and I started to plat COD5 I was amazed!!! Not only on in the product great, Lime are one of the best company's I have dealt with for a long time. There was a problem with my delivery and they sorted it out immediately and kept me informed all the way. The team are fantastic.... Great product and great company.... Pricey but well worth the money... forget the credit crunch and lose yourself in a pair of these. |

I have been researching the x4s and they seem incredible i can't wait till i order some i was playing cod 4 on ambush and my friend who has turtle beach heaadphones pinpointed my exact spot by just listening to my footsteps. |

Review of x4's.
The turtle beach x4's are a great piece of equipment.
previously i had been using a set of sennheisers with the microsoft wireless mic rammed in underneath the ear cup. very uncomfortable an kinda spoiling the sound.
the x4 s solve all that by being the only all in one dolby 5.1 and mic soliution for the 360.
the sound from them is great an the bass levels are just right.
the sound staging on the pro logic side is also pretty good.
similar to my logitech 5500 setup in the house.
i would recommend them to anyone an the service you recieve from chris is second to none, so if your after the best then put chris to the test.
cheers chris |

If your thinking these are expensive think again... they are worth every penny! if you want to enjoy your gaming to the max and be the best you can be then these are a must buy. the difference it will make is unbelievable unless you try them yourself. I have a 5.1 system but these are even better as there is no outside noise pollution at all and they make you hear noises on games like cod4 and cod5(beta) that you still struggle to hear on a 5.1 system turned up loud, as well as intergrating the voice in a way that it doesnt distract you from game sounds. you can hear a bomb plant on s+d from the opposite side of the map no probs and pinpoint players up down and all around and after a bit of practice tell how far away they are too! I initially got them for night play to not disturb others but NEVER play without them now day or night. You also get the added bonus of removing the mic and chat cable and plugging the optical cable into ANY source ie. blu ray, sky ect. Total bargain considering a decent set of wireless non gaming 5.1 headphones can cost over £250 ***** |

WOW! These headphones are really good. I cant tell you how good they are. I just got mine today, i couldnt believe my ears. I cannot settle for anything less than these headphones now. I got these headphones really early. Thanks Lime!!!! |

Fantastic! I knew based on the reviews that these were a quality set of headphones. But I was still blown away by them. I have a surround sound system in my home but wanted these for late night gaming but I nearly wear these all the time playing now even when I don't need too. I was a bit skeptical of the surround sound be accurate but it if something is behind you, you hear it behind you. Other thing I like is that it doesn't sound like your wearing headphones, it sounds as though your in a room with a top of quality surround system. They are so comfortable to wear also. I even started watching TV with them at times. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Oh and forgot to mention that the delivery time was great as well as us Irish normally have to wait that bit longer :) |
Chris (Ireland) 06/10/08 at 09:24 AM |

Simply amazing, they said they were going to be delivered for Tuesday, and they were. Opened them out of the pasckage, set them up. And i was simply amazed! 10/10 product, just need a bit of getting used to at first though. |

Got them a few weeks early so thanks to the staff at lime xb for getting them to me early. I'd also like to say a big thanks to the staff for answering all my queries in a lot of detail. Headset is just amazing no other way of describing it, for cod4 they’re amazing and give you an amazing advantage mostly when opponents aren’t using dead silence, even with dead silence you can sometimes hear them if you listen out real good ! Used my friends X1's and they’re good but i would definitely say that the x4's are easily worth the extra money! You can really pinpoint which direction the enemy are coming from, whether they’re the other side of a wall, above or below you.
Take a while to get used to but once you get used to them they’re amazing!

Have these about 2 weeks now, they are fantastic the best sound I have ever heard form a headset.I play COD4 and you can tell what direction people are coming from its a great bonus and has improved my game play...10 out of 10.

These headphones succeed in delivering a rich, cinema-esque soundscape with very accurate surround sound. If an enemy is three feet behind you to the right, then that's exactly where you'll hear it. The better the sound engineering in the game, the better these headphones perform. Burnout Paradise is a completely different game wearing these headphones with every shard of broken glass audible alongside bone-rattling crashes.
The only negative is the very slight hiss you get from the fact that this is an IR wireless set-up. But you won't hear it at all unless there is complete silence in game or you are just navigating the 360 dashboard, for instance. Some games also require you to go into the sound settings and tweak the 'balance' between effects and music or the overall volume to get the absolute best results. Anybody who has a 5.1 surround set-up with conventional speakers will probably be familiar with this if they're a bit fussy like me. These also work well over Live with the microphone attached. Again, tweaking in-game settings yields rewards – particularly in a game like GTA IV where you have effects, music, dialogue and Live chat all going together at times.
These are expensive, but I’m delighted with them. It’s transformed many of my games, including Mario Galaxy on the Wii which utilises Pro Logic II through ordinary analogue cabling with surprisingly accurate surround sound.
The X4s work exactly as described on the Turtle Beach website.

Ordered mine on the 25Th July for a August 13Th Delivery, but arrived early on the 1st Aug, well done Lime for great early delivery. After a week of testing I can say these headphones are great, although like a previous review I have today upgraded the optical cable to a Belkin pure AV digital optical cable. £15 from ebuyer.com and what a diffrence playing Gears of war. You can tell what direction other players a trying to sneak up on you from and surprise them with a quick turn and shot gun blast to the scull. Also connected my sky HD box up and watched a movie with great results. Well worth 100 bucks, although my other half doesn't seem to agree, but then they dont understand these things. |
Scott 09/08/08 at 11:29 AM |

Adrenaline rating of 120 out of 100 if you want a proper quality headset that won't ever let you down go for these best gaming experience.. Sound is unimaginable cant explain just Buy them. Well worth the money!!! |
AdamShot007 08/08/08 at 04:38 PM |

What an outstanding pair of head phones. The Bass Boost gives a lovely deep base tone for those gaming explosions and they are exceptionally comfortable to wear.
I thoroughly recommend buying the X4. Expensive, but worth it. |
