When it's too late to be loud, the X1s let you communicate and talk trash
without disturbing others, so you can extend your gaming sessions well into 
the night.  Here are some great tips for enhancing your game play:  

Listen.
  Reacting to sound cues can make a big difference.  But that's not easy when
  speakers have to be turned down.  It's even worse if one ear is blocked by 
  a communicator headset.  X1's amplified, acoustically tuned speakers let you
  turn up the sound and hear every nuance so you can react quickly to every
  cue, from explosions to footsteps. 

Communicate.
  Being able to clearly talk to and hear your teammates can mean the 
  difference between winning and losing.  With a headset and speakers, 
  the game sound is often picked up by the mic and interferes with your voice.
  With X1s, the game sound is not only isolated from the mic, but you can also
  balance chat and game volumes.  So you can hear friends (or foes) and they 
  can hear you. 

Focus.
  Professional gamers shut out the world so they can totally focus on playing 
  a game.  X1s block out all of the distractions around you so you can hear
  everything that's going on in the game and concentrate on your strategy for
  winning. 

Use high-quality gear.
  It's hard to improve your gaming skills when you're limited by sub-par
  equipment.  X1's superior sound quality, rugged construction and 
  extraordinary comfort are perfect for long hours of intense game play - so
  they won't get in the way while you're working on becoming the best you can
  be.
