Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience. Comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears.
This model is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors. It offers potential for maximum bass and loudness levels. We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products. An L-shaped plug is better if the jack is on the left or right side of the device, so that the cable isn't bent, and is less likely to break when the device is in your pocket.
Even when you need to take a break you can simply rest the headphones around your neck and still speak into the mic easily. The average customer finds that up to 3 hours of wear is easily achieved because normal fatigue is felt. Others can easily use them all day, while a select few may only be able to wear them an hour or so before needing a break. These same people are often those that already have issues with general over-ear headsets. Glasses-wearers typically find fit to be non-problematic, though careful adjustment may be needed to prevent the sides of the face from feeling squished.
This is particularly true for those with large heads. No product is perfect and when it comes to this model there are two main concerns to keep in mind before purchasing. The design of the Ear Force X12 is for PC and console gaming, not for listening to music or watching movies.
While you can certainly still use these headphones for those purposes, they will have mediocre performance compared to normal headphones. It is not compatible with Mac, unfortunately. Turtle Beach does offer replacement inline connections so you can use these headphones with Xbox One and PS4 systems.
Since the Ear Force X12 was designed primarily with gaming in mind there is a triple wire audio setup — one connection to the controller, an RCA connection to a TV or gaming console, and the USB power to console or computer. The cable can be wrapped up carefully to a shorter, more manageable length but the main issue is wire connection breakage.
Quite a lot of headphone users end up needing to replace their set after many months of heavy usage because of one earpiece losing sound.
The problem is the weight of the cord combined with a fixed attachment. This issue could have been easily avoided by using a swivel cable but this would only increase the price of this model, which is the opposite of what Turtle Beach wanted.
First things first: the Ear Force X12 looks cool. The large, plush ear cups boast a winter camouflage pattern with the device's logo and model name, which is a refreshing change from the plain black appearance that most headsets offer. Keep in mind that we reviewed the device's Arctic variant; if you want boring old black, you can buy that, too.
There's a fair amount of padding on both the ear cups and the inner headband. The ear cups themselves are well-designed.
They're large, but not excessively so, and are covered in a pleasant, breathable fabric. They should fit just about any ear size with minimal fuss, and while the padding is a little more rigid than plush, it still keeps them in one place without any significant discomfort. The ear cups also swivel, which should be a universal feature in gaming headsets, but, surprisingly, is not yet. The Ear Force X12 sports an unusual microphone.
Most headsets have either a rigid mic or a bendable one, but this peripheral splits the difference. The microphone is located at the end of a bendable coil, but the coil itself is connected to a nub that rotates up and down. This makes adjusting the mic a two-step process, but also allows users very fine control over where it ends up.
Although you won't be able to control the fine details of bass and treble, the headset comes with a small hub that has handy dials for game volume, chat volume and Bass Boost it is what it sounds like , and a button to mute the microphone. My one big complaint about the Ear Force X12's design is its preponderance of connectors. Since there's no software, the headset connects via standard 3.
However, you need to connect a USB cable to your computer or console as well, since the Ear Force X12 requires a lot of power to function. The Ear Force X12's feature set doesn't seem extensive enough to require this level of power, and it complicates setup. It also means that the headset is a no-go for phones and tablets.
Thanks to its soft, swiveling ear cups and plush headband, the Ear Force X12 is generally comfortable.
