Product Review: Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Four

G'day there guys and gals!

I haven't done one of these in the longest time but I decided to write the praise and respect I have for the Turtle Beach headphones as the company once again delivers an underrated product that excels all expectations.

The Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Four is a little bit of a mouthful to say, especially when preordering through a phone, but all jokes aside these headphones are for anyone, gamer or no, looking for quality. While the slightly cheaper price of $160 (In comparison to the XO Seven), the headphones appear small at first but fit any headsize perfectly. What helps this is the adjustable speakers. Not only able to extend and retract, they also swivel in place approximately 100% from the beginning place. What makes this stand out is the shape of the speakers themselves. By allowing to swivel and extend, the "Zero" shaped speakers fit almost perfectly over the ears; adding in the sound killing feature on the outside making them damn near sound proof, the speakers give an excellent quality that cannot be beaten.

An excellent feature I should also mention is the power point. The connection plug can fit into any standard music port; this meaning that the headphones don't have to be just used for Xbox One or Mobile gaming. While writing this, even I'm currently using them on a PC and I can confirm they work just as well on the Nintendo DS and any old MP3 players.
Music, voice and bass are equally mixed and are in stereo form, all clear, crisp and in excellent form, especially so on the Xbox One, the stereo style definitely making it worthwhile during Snap time periods and mic usage. In full honesty my only complaint with the XO Four is the shortness of the wire. A slightly longer wire would have made maneuverability much easier (Especially so when using headphones at night for Twitch/DVD, having no need to hold controller) or no cord at all would have been ever more better.

There's not much more I can say without you yourself personally buying these headphones. Even as I write these words, I see four different brands of headphones, each bought simply for their plugs or their uses in particular areas. Turtle Beach has once again made a product for all areas of media. If you can bear the price tag, you won't regret it.
