Avoid Hearing Damage
Important Information
Over time, your ears adapt to loud
volume levels, so a level that may not
cause initial discomfort may still
damage your hearing.
If you experience ringing in your ears
after using the headset, it means the
volume is set too loud. The louder
the volume is set, the less time it
takes to affect your hearing. So, please
take care to listen at moderate levels.
Turn down the volume if you can’t
hear people speaking near you.
Avoid turning up the volume to block
out noisy surroundings.

About the X
��
Headset
The Ear Force X��
amplified
headset gives serious gamers the
ultimate competitive edge by
combining XBOX LIVE chat and
stereo game audio into an
immersive sound experience.
The X
��
’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.
