The DXL1 delivers the Dolby surround sound advantage, combining the DXL1 headset with the DSS2 surround sound processor
that transforms any stereo headset into a full Dolby® Digital surround sound. The result is an amazing recreation of the 3D
sound cues in the game, which sounds as if you’re listening to real surround sound speakers placed all around you. Dolby
Digital surround sound lets you pinpoint the position of sound cues to hear exactly where everything is coming from, so you’ll
enjoy a more realistic and immersive gaming experience.

The DXL1 headset features massive 50mm speakers and lightweight design for amazing sound quality and extreme comfort.
With the DXL1, you’ll be able to hear sound cues that are missed with conventional TV speakers, such as the sound of enemy
footsteps or the click of a loading weapon in the distance. That means you’ll react faster and take them out before they can
take you out, giving you the edge that can make the difference between winning and losing.
