In November 2014, Turtle Beach introduced the Stealth 500X, the first 100% wireless headset for the Xbox One. The Stealth 500X is also the first and only headset for the Xbox One with DTS Headphone:X 7.1 channel surround sound.. These unique features helped make the Stealth 500X the best-selling headset SKU in the $200 price tier for the month of November in the U.S. when measured by both units and dollars, according to sales tracking data reported by The NPD Group, Inc.
Turtle Beach is following up on that first-to-market success with a new wireless headset that will set a new standard of performance for the Xbox One: the Elite 800X. The Elite 800X brings several more firsts to Xbox One gaming, including active noise cancellation and invisible, boom-free microphones. It also packs DTS 7.1 channel surround sound, customizable presets, a magnetic charging stand and swappable speaker plates into the equation — adding up to the most advanced wireless headset ever made for the Xbox console. As an added bonus, the purchase of an Elite 800X comes with the option to enroll in the Turtle Beach Elite Membership Program, which offers a number of benefits and exclusive programming and content. The Elite 800X is expected to launch at retail in the Spring of 2015.
Upgraded Xbox One Gaming Audio
Turtle Beach has introduced two upgraded versions of market-leading Xbox One headsets – the XO SEVEN Pro and the XO FOUR Stealth.
The XO SEVEN Pro is the first gaming headset for the Xbox One that is officially licensed by Major League Gaming and features Superhuman HearingTM. With the touch of a single button, Superhuman Hearing provides a competitive advantage in multiplayer gaming by making soft sounds that are typically hard to hear louder, allowing players to pinpoint quiet audio cues like enemy footsteps and weapon reloads. The XO SEVEN Pro features tournament-grade headset durability, materials like memory foam ear cushions for comfort and noise-isolation, and a removable mic and mobile adapter cable for use with PC and mobile devices. Premium 50mm Neodymium Speakers tuned for Xbox One deliver amazing sound quality. The XO SEVEN Pro can be personalized with swappable speaker plates, which are available in dozens of designs at turtlebeach.com/speakerplates.
The XO SEVEN Pro includes the new Ear Force Headset Audio Controller Plus, which connects the headset to the Xbox One wireless controller for chat and game audio. The Headset Audio Controller Plus introduces variable mic monitoring, which takes the sound of your voice and feeds it back into the headset so your voice sounds normal. Without mic monitoring, gamers tend to yell into the mic because they cannot hear their own voice. The Headset Audio Controller Plus also has selectable game presets to customize your sound (Natural Sound, Bass Booster, Bass & Treble Booster, and Vocal Booster) and environmental mic presets you can set based on room noise levels (Quiet, Normal, and Loud rooms). The XO SEVEN Pro has an MSRP of US $159.95.
The XO FOUR Stealth (PICTURE NOT INCLUDED YET), which includes the new Ear Force Headset Audio Controller, is a comfortable, lightweight gaming headset for Xbox One and mobile devices with high-performance 50m neodymium speaker drivers, a removable mic, and fold-flat ear cups. The Headset Audio Controller incorporates mic monitoring and puts mic mute, multi-step bass boost, and master volume, game and chat volume mix controls right at your fingertips. The XO FOUR Stealth has an MSRP of USD $99.95.
