The Ear Force

  XP400 is a premium, Dolby surround sound headset designed for Xbox 360

®

 and PS3

 gaming. To get the most from 

your XP400, please take a few minutes to review this introduction.

 Surround Sound

The XP400 transmitter processes Dolby Digital surround sound from your Xbox 360 or PS3 and sends it to the headset via digital RF.  
The result is an immersive sound environment that makes you feel as if you’re right in the middle of the action. It also helps you react 
quicker by hearing exactly where the sound cues in the game are coming from.

Dual-Band Wi-Fi

The Ear Force XP400 headset provides wireless CD-quality game sound via dual-band digital RF (radio frequency) that communicates 
with the XP400 transmitter. This advanced dual-band Wi-Fi technology uses either 5GHz or 2.4GHz signals to transmit high fidelity 
digital audio and finds the optimum frequency to help eliminate interference with other wireless devices and Wi-Fi networks. Unlike 
the RF technology used in most other wireless headsets, the dual-band Wi-Fi technology found in the XP400 coexists with wireless 
networks for optimum performance.

Dual Pairing 

Bluetooth

®

The XP400 incorporates 

Bluetooth

 technology which is used for communicating wirelessly on Xbox LIVE

®  

with the included XBA Chat 

Adapter and on PlayStation

®

 Network (PSN

 ). The 

Bluetooth

 can also be paired to your mobile phone so you can use your XP400 to 

accept phone calls – all while totally immersed in the action of the game.*

Rechargeable Battery

The XP400 also features a rechargeable lithium polymer battery that provides up to 15 hours of continuous game play on a single 
charge. The battery can also be recharged while gaming with the included charging cable so you’ll never miss out on the action.

Engineered for High-Quality Sound

The XP400 headset is engineered to deliver high-quality audio that makes it ideal for gaming, movies and digital music playback.  
The high-fidelity, 50mm speakers are encased in acoustically-tuned ear cups with soft fabric cushions and deliver extended bass  
with extraordinary dynamic range for optimum audio performance.
