Why does the X41 use a proprietary digital RF wireless signal rather than Bluetooth® wireless technology?
1.) BT uses more power. So, the batteries wouldn’t last as long as they do with the X41 digital RF technology. 2.) BT uses audio compression, which reduces the sound quality. The X41 digital RF technology uses uncompressed audio for superior, high-fidelity sound. 3.) BT can have a significant delay between the sound and the game video. The X41 digital RF wireless technology has virtually no delay between the screen action and the sound you hear in the headset. 4.) In an area where WiFi, wireless telephones and other 2.4 GHz devices is very crowded, the BT signal can degrade very quickly, causing audio dropouts. The X41 digital wireless technology is very reliable in crowded RF bands. When it bumps into frequency bands that are occupied, it remembers the locations and avoids them. This makes it much more reliable than BT with significantly fewer dropouts in crowded RF frequency areas.
