About the X1 Headphones

Ear Force X1 amplified headphones give serious gamers the ultimate competitive edge by combining Xbox Live chat and stereo game audio into an immersive sound experience.

X1's integrated design overcomes the limitation of communicator headsets that block game sound from one ear and eliminates voice chat interference caused by the headset microphone picking up sound from external speakers.

Pump up the volume without disturbing friends, family or neighbors. Hear every nuance of the game - from an opponent sneaking up behind you to your teammate's voice right next to you. Trash talk online. Block out distractions. It's everything you need for an amazing gaming experience.

Important Information

1. Be careful when turning on the master volume control on the headphones. Before placing the headphones over your ears, set the volume control to minimum, then slowly increase until you reach a comfortable level.
2. Like any speakers, overdriving headphones may cause damage to both the headphones and your ears. Please listen at moderate levels.
3. WARNING: Long term exposure to loud music or other sounds in headphones may cause hearing damage. It is best to avoid extreme volume levels when using headphones, especially for extended periods. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a level that may not cause initial discomfort might still damage your hearing.

Connecting the Xbox
