I’d heard enough people complain in game about the older Turtle Beach headsets cutting out, various forms of interference and static, and poor chat quality. I think that Turtle Beach may have been listening, because I’ve experienced none of those issues with these.

This is a Ferrari for gamers - with all the absurdity that entails. So if you're prepared to pay the price, go nuts. You won't find a better product for your strange, twisted needs than this.

You're certainly getting what you pay for. If you don't mind working through the initial setup, and you're okay with learning some light blink and audible beep sequences for settings, the XP 400 headset will do your ears right. Recommended.

Despite its niggles, the XP400 is an excellent gaming headset. It’s obviously tough not to compare it with offerings from rival Astro. Having used both, I’ve noticed that there are things one does better than the other and vice-versa so everything boils down to which features you prize more.
