Overview

The Ear Force X12 is the definitive headset for gamers seeking amazing game sound, crystal-clear communication and enhanced comfort – all at an unmatched value. The X12 features massive 50mm speakers, delivering superior audio quality with crisp highs and deep, rumbling lows. The in-line amplifier puts you in control, with quick access to independent game and chat volume controls and adjustable bass. With separate connections for microphone and line signals, the X12 also makes a great PC gaming headset.

The X12 builds on the success of the legendary X11, the best selling XBOX gaming headset of all time, adding 50mm speakers and adjustable bass for professional-grade sound quality that delivers a competitive advantage. With the X12, you can hear sound cues that are missed with conventional TV speakers, such the sound enemy footsteps, or the click of a loading weapon in the distance. That means you’ll react faster and take them out before they take you out, giving you the edge that can make the difference between winning and losing. You’ll also enjoy unsurpassed comfort during extended game play thanks to the large, deep-cushioned ear cups and rugged, lightweight design.

The Creative Fatal1ty sound was a little more clear however the bass wasn`t that good as is on the Turtle Beach X12

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2017

Customer Package Type: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

After about 5 years of using Creative Fatal1ty I though to change the headphones. Looking on the reviews and comparisons I was quite attracted to Turtle Beach X12 taking in consideration the price as well. Coming from Creative background I can tell a few differences. The Creative Fatal1ty sound was a little more clear however the bass wasn`t that good as is on the Turtle Beach X12. The bass adjustment scroll button is just amazing and you can actually set the bass level which suits you on the game or just by listening music. Another good side of the Turtle Beach X12 is that is very loud on max volume. If the bass is on max as well you will literally feel the headphones vibrating on your ears. The other good point which I would like to say is that the wire is very long (about 3m). The only down side which i could find is the background noise which is constantly there especially when you don`t play anything you`ll hear the "background noise" .All in one is very good quality for the money considering that this headphones are not the premium class.

the first and only headset I've ever used

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2016

First can I recommend the XBOX 360 Optical RCA Audio Adapters Cable HDMI Cable GA82 just in case you need it and don't already have the required cables. I didn't, and I bought this with the headset. I'm glad I did.

I've been an online gamer for a while, mainly since I started playing Borderlands2. While I have played multiplayer and joined public games I've never used a headset before. One day someone randomly joined my game, and he was using a headset. Have you ever tried to coordinate gameplay when one player has a mic, and the other doesn't? It was hilarious how we tried to communicate: he'd ask me things and I'd basically nod and shake my head! Over time we played together quite a bit and eventually I decided I was going to treat myself to a headset; it would certainly make co-op a lot easier, and a lot more fun! But I didn't know which one to get. I asked this guy his opinion and he immediately recommended the Turtle Beach X12, since they were what he was using. Eventually I decided to throw caution to the wind and order a pair.

I have to say I was impressed; they do exactly what they're supposed to. You have three controls: chat volume, game volume, and bass control. These give you complete control over audio and allow you to find the right balance when chatting and gaming. The bass control is there to enhance game sounds and the overall audio experience in-game. It also has a mute button, which is self-explanatory! The mic itself is nice and flexible so you can put it in any position you need. The headset itself *is* comfortable, although like with all headphones if you wear them for hours on end they can start to hurt your ears.

Overall I'd give the Turtle Beach X12 headset 9/10. If you're looking for your first gaming headset (they can be used on PC too though I can't remember if you need additional connectors/cables for this) then I highly recommend these. Just remember to plug the chat cable from the headset into the controller - I didn't do that and it took me a while to figure out why chat wasn't working!

I got this headset becuase of the sound quality!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 January 2015

Amazing I was amazed by the crisp quality of the sound, my old mic was horrible didnt give me any good sound and a very poor mic but this microphone is bog standard quality of the make. I was particulary impressed by the adjustable bass, chat and game volume; for example if your friend just join your xbox live party you can decrease the game sound or increase the chat sound so you can hear them. Even if you have a giant head (like mine) it easily adjusts to it and the mic is also adjustable. Furthermore the av adaptor is not needed unless your tv doesnt have an audio out, check the back of tv or monitor to check if it says audio in. Componet in ,or component out it wont work so check for that before buying, it will save you a good five pounds.

If you want to know how to setup the mic follow instructions.(only without the adapter, check youtube for the other tutorials , or if you want check on the instructions leaflet provided).
Xbox setup.
1. Connect red and white plug to back of tv.
2. Connect both the green and green cables together.
3. Connect the wire that is shaped like and L to your controller and the other one to the small box, which is labled X12.
4. Connect usb to xbox so it can power the headset.
Pc setup
1. Connect usb to pc/monitor.
2. Connect just the green cable to the sound jack.
3. Connct the rose cable to the microphone jack.
If your pc/monitor has a audio and mic jack(one jack) just connect it to that.

Good but with major setbacks

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 December 2018

I've had 3 sets of these now, as well as 2 other different brands of headset. Here's the pros and cons

Pros:
1) Sound quality is amazing, and the bass boost works really well to enhance sound. Music, games, everything sounds full and loud and proper with them. I would recommend these as a headset for only listening to music!

2) Microphone is good, to an above average standard. Does the job

3) Price is generally okay (however I think they've been discontinued so it'll only be second hand prices now?)

4) Ear pieces are comfortable (and make great ear warmers) and the sound cancellation is so good, my mum thought I was going deaf

Cons:
1) As mentioned at the start, I've gone through 3 pairs of these. First pair physically broke, where one earpiece came off and was hanging by the wire. The bass in the second set had broken in one earpiece, meaning the bass was screwed and the sound as a whole was messed up, leaving one ear getting all the pleasure and the other getting none. The third set had the sound completely cut out in one earpiece. On investigation, it turns out that the soldering of one wire inside the earpiece had split from the circuitry. Basically, they're quite easy to break.

Although there are many positives to this headset, I can't give it over 3 stars due to how easy they've broken on me, which is a shame, because they'd be a solid 5 stars if they were stronger.
