  • The Boom microphone fails to have reasonable distance from mouth for comfortable speaking.

  • The chat audio is very good, with the boost function being retained from the X41 (if the game gets loud, it makes your friends equally loud to compensate).
  • The X42 gives you a 3-D surround, and the sound fidelity is amazing, even my older games sound brand new!
  • Excellent sound quality, surround sound and all, no wires to fuss about.
  • Headset is it still has to be connected to a controller through a wire if you are going to speak.
