For starters, the Ear Force X40 (the predecessor of the Ear Force X41) is the only Xbox-compatible wireless surround sound headset available in the market today since it was able to integrate voice chat smoothly into the mix. And with the release of the Ear Force X41, it got even better.

What has improved in this model? See here for yourself:

* 2.4GHz RF instead of IR audio transmission
* USB powered instead of wall jack
* Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound instead of Dolby 5.1

At first, I was skeptical to stay using the new X41 since I got used with my old X40. But as its features more and more astound me, I daresay the X41 is as classically gifted in audio power as with any high-definition audio device.

You can get the Ear Force X41 for only $180 at Amazon.
