The Ear Force XLC headset for the Xbox 360 combines Xbox Live chat and stereo game audio for an immersive gaming experience. The XLC has two connections on the cable: One is for the game sound and the other is for the microphone. The microphone connects to the Xbox controller and lets you communicate with other players during Xbox Live multi-player gaming sessions. The game sound and chat voices from other players come from the TV or Xbox connection.
Step 1: Connect the Xbox audio cables (red/white) to the TV (or sound system). This lets you hear the game sound and chat from other players on the TV or sound system.
Step 2: Connect the XLC's 3.5mm plug to the headphone output on the TV (or sound system). This lets you hear the game sound in the headset and, on most TVs, will shut off the TV speakers so others won't be disturbed by the game sound.
Step 3: Connect the XLC's 2.5mm plug to the Xbox game controller. This allows the mic to be used for Xbox Live chat.
Step 4: Configure your Xbox settings to send the chat signal to the speakers.
Connecting the XLC to your TV that DOES NOT have a Headphone Jack.
If your TV or sound system does not have a headphone jack, you can connect the XLC headset to the Xbox audio outputs using the included splitter cable as follows:
Step 1: Connect the Xbox audio cables (red/white) to the XLC splitter cable (red/white).
Step 2: Connect the XLC splitter cable (green), then connect the XLC splitter cable (red/white) to the TV audio input (red/white). This lets you hear the game sound and chat from other players in the headset. If you don't want to hear the game on your TV speakers while you're playing, just turn down the volume on your TV.
Step 3: Connect the XLX's 2.5mm plug to the Xbox game controller. This connects the microphone to the Xbox Live feature.
Step 4: Configure your Xbox settings to send the chat signal to the speakers.

The newly released Turtle Beach XLCs from - you guessed it - Turtle Beach, is their attempt at making an affordable alternative to the high-end headsets on the market while still maintaining great quality. Well you're probably wondering if it's worth your hard earned money, so read on and find out.
Headset Quality - Well honestly the XLCs do not look expensive. I've got quite a few headsets and closed-back headphones that look cool, and what I think is appealing about them is having some massive and awesome 'phones to wear, in comparison the XLC has a slim design with smaller ear pads than normal.
Headset Sound Quality - I have to say the sound quality of the XLC was average. I tested the headset on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and I found the clarity and general quality to be pretty good, everything from the explosions of combat and the rattling gunfire came out well. I also found that Turtle Beach made good on their promise of noise-cancellation as the XLCs don't really leak sound like other padded headphones.
The only downside to it is the sound is a little distant which isn't that noticeable, and the headsets sound output isn't huge. This is probably due to the absence of the amp in the XLCs like the X1s, so you can turn up the volume and yes it'll be loud but it's not going to blow your head off. So gamers who like to play their games on a deafening volume or play survival horrors with the eerie music immersing them in the game might not be that impressed.
A great redeeming feature however is hearing your friends and the game sound on multiplayer games through your headset. Just on a side-note you have a master volume for both voice and game sound on the headset, which means you have to tweak the individual in-game volume and voice volume on your 360 to find a good balance, I usually go for high voice volume and a lower in-game volume, and also remember to set your voice settings to play voice output "through both".
Voice Chat Quality - There's not much to say here, your voice output will be loud and clear to other players. I tested it with a friend and he commented that it was better clarity than the old standard 360 headset I used to talk through.
Comfort - The ear pads are soft like a very soft cat's paw, yeah it really is that soft. I've used them a couple of times now and they feel wonderfully comfortable on my ears. However if you play for extended periods it does still suffer from making your ears ache a bit.
Value for Money - This headset is great value for money, because it does the job well. If you don't want to spend a fortune on high-end headsets but want an upgrade from your basic headset or are just replacing a broken standard 360 headset, then this is the one to go for. In fact now this has released, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO BUY ANOTHER STANDARD 360 HEADSET as for a couple of quid more you can get the XLCs which let you hear voice and in-game sound through a proper headset.
In Conclusion - It's a must have headset for 360 gamers.

Fun:
Some important info on how to set up the XLC for Xbox 360 for all those people like me that have kids and don't have a clue. when you follow the instructions on the back of the box on how to connect these headphones one thing they don,t tell you is to alter the settings on the xbox itself, here's how. Go into Xbox settings, preferences, voice, then click play through both, then adjust the volume to what you want. Now weve done his the head phone work great and my son is happy.

Fun:
I bought this product for my lad to use on his XBox 360 as all the previous headsets had broken or failed after very short periods of time. Admittedly they were also a lot cheaper. To be fair though and to give a balanced assessment of this product, the 1st set that was delivered in a sealed package was faulty, one of the earphones was dead. The supplier was extremely supportive and gave simple instructions for it's return and gave a speedy replacement delivery service. These headphones really make you feel part of the game as all external noise is cut out and you feel really close to all your mates who are also participating in the game. The downside of this is that you're in a world cut off from reality so you can't hear your mum and dad shouting their heads off trying to get your attention.
