Turtle Beach - Ear Force XO Seven Premium Gaming Headset - Xbox One

I had the Turtle Beach Ear Force x41's and I loved those headsets, and had nothing but a great experience with them. and I later bought the Tritton Warheads and was extremely disappointed by them... So when it came time to buy a new headset for my Xbox One, I wanted to go with a brand I enjoyed, so I went with Turtle Beach, and I must say i am not disappointed by my purchase. They are very comfortable, I was afraid the Memory foam options would make my ears sweaty like my Trittons did, but No i have not had that problem. they are comfy and cancel out unnecessary outside noise. they didn't hurt my ears either like my old Trittons did too. I really like the braided cord on this headset, the quality is noticeable, and they look like they'll last me a long time. and I don't mind the cord to the controller, because it means they don't require batteries, which is a plus. instead of having AAA's for my Headset and AA's for my controller, I only have to swap out one source. which I don't know how much the headsets will drain the controllers battery life, but I don't mind, they have been great so far. The only drawback I have had so far, is the audio adapter that connects to the controller is a bit confusing? and I wish the volume went a little higher, I know that wouldn't be good for my hears, but sometimes I want to not even hear myself think when I'm fighting Titans in Titanfall. But the volume on them is sufficiently loud, but they could always be a bit louder... I haven't seen anything about these being surround sound, or anything. the Controllers only output stereo anyways. But the headsets still output a nice sound range, where I can tell where things are coming from. and the 50mm speakers do the job. I like these headsets, they are perfect for a gamers needs, and they also come with another mobile phone cord. and they are naturally 3.5mm jacks now, so they'll work with anything now. I read the perfect song to test a pair of headsets is Bohemian Rhapsody by queen, because the song has the entire set of highs and lows. and it sounded great. Bottom line is, they are great headsets. at a reasonable price for a gaming headset. I enjoy Turtle beaches headsets, they are durable, and last. I still have my X41's and they work fine. so i know this headset will last. great buy, hope Microsoft adds higher sound quality to the controllers soon, and I would like a higher volume setting too. Plus you can't hear yourself talk with these, Like I could my Trittons, so I hope they add that...

So to start off, reading all of these reviews, bashing this headset left and right, they are all a bit ridiculous. I love these. They are super comfortable, the sound is great, and they are very sturdy feeling. They came beautifully packaged and the setup was very easy. Let's start with the cons so we can end on a good note. Cons - Run on controller battery. Now for me, I have the energizer rechargeable dock for my controllers, so not burning through batteries is not a problem I have, but it could be for you. - You must download the update for both the console and the controllers. Once again, not an issue I have, but if you play offline only, you may have issues, but honestly, if you have an Xbox One, an HD TV, and a premium headset, you should probably have it connected to the internet. - This one is small but can get a bit annoying, the headset is not completely wireless. They have no wires to the xbox but there is one chord that goes to the controller. I personally don't really care that there is a wire since it'll work better than any bluetooth but it's a bit long. - Lastly, you can't hear yourself talk. The former headset I had was the X11's and I liked being able to hear myself because then you could tell if it's working properly and how loud you are talking. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future update. Now for the Pros - They are very comfortable, there should be no problem playing for hours no on end. - The sound is pretty good, I still have to mess with the settings to get the best setup. - The game and chat volume can easily be changed to your preferences on the chatpad. - The Xbox One headset adapter is included, which means if you have another headset that you enjoy, you can now use them in the console without buying another adapter. - The packaging was amazing. It was like opening a gift on Christmas. Just wow. Also, good instructions for how to set up if new to the headset field. - The wire to the controller is a breakaway so if anyone/you knocks the controller down, your headphones will stay safely on your head. If anyone has any audio setups (as in on the Xbox One Home -> Settings -> Audio Settings) that work for them, please comment so I can try them out. Thanks Colin F

Included in the box: - XO7 Headset - Detachable Microphone - Micro-USB connector - Two proprietary connector cables (one for XB1, one for phones with an inline mic) - XB1 Headset Adapter These headphones can be considered a great purchase if they can be bought for the right price. They are incredibly comfortable to wear (even with glasses on) and provide a very good sound-isolation. The padding is leather and soft, made from memory foam. They are well built, feel solid and feel perfectly weighty without overdoing it. They look reasonably fashionable and conform well with the head. Some of the negatives of using leather memory foam include a tight fit which eventually cause your ears to heat up - this is a well recognised issue with headphones such as this. Even so, lifting them off on the odd occasion for a few seconds sorts the problem. The sound from these is stereo and is clear and crisp coming from two 50mm drivers (one in each cup). The bass could do with slight improvement but for the purposes of gaming, they feel well balanced and offer great clarity. The microphone is of superb quality and is non-fixed (you can manouevre the mic to suit your needs). During XB Party sessions, I've been told that the sound quality is fantastic. Since the two new XB1 updates, there seem to be no problems with clicks being heard or with mic issues. If you persist having these issues, it is not the headset: update your controller firmware. Other users seem to prefer these cans in order to listen to music. Whilst I am not an audiophile, these headphones underwhelm me when I have used them for this purpose. Whilst the clarity and crispness is still present, the headphones are not strong at lows or highs. The mid-range is also somewhat ordinary. Unfortunately, I am left comparing these to my pair of Grado SR80i and Sennheiser On-Ear Momentums, neither of which are over-ear and closed-back (the Grado's are open-back). Despite this, I will not be using the XO7s as a replacement for either. One of the other negatives that I must mention is the drastically decreased controller battery life with the use of a headset. This is not a limitation of this particular headset but one in general and as such, I cannot mark the headset down for this particular issue. The purchase of a plug-and-play kit may aid the issue but creates the necessity for a wired connection between console and controller. Considering the price of these headphones includes the £20 headset adapter, a reasonable price for these would make them a great purchase as a gaming headset and for the purpose of general headphones to users who may not have viable alternatives.

Après plusieurs mois d'utilisation, je suis vraiment satisfait de cet article. Je n'avais jamais investi plus de 40€ pour un casque... Et ne pouvais donc pas m'imaginer qu'un casque pouvait fournir une telle expérience auditive ! Une fois posé sur la tête, on se retrouve coupé du monde extérieur (au grand dam de mon épouse) et l'on se retrouve plongé dans notre univers (jeu, film, musique,...). Mon premier essai était sur Star Wars Battlefront 2 (Xbox One X). J'en avait des frissons ! La seule chose qui nous ramène sur terre (après de longues sessions de jeu), c'est son poids écrasant, il faut trouver la bonne position, ou le déplacer pour ne pas avoir l'impression de se faire tout doucement fendre le crâne ... Le micro va super bien, mes amis m'entendent enfin clairement. Seul bémol, le fait d'être «isolé» d'un point de vue auditif: on ne s'entend pas parler, c'est vraiment bizarre comme sensation. Parfois j'ai le réflexe deparler fort pour pouvoir m'entendre... Malheureusement, j'ai vu plus tard un autre modèle turtlebeach sans fil avec une option «retour de voix» pour pas beaucoup plus cher... Je le prendrais dans hésiter quand celui ci me lâchera ! Je conseille vivement !

Hallo liebe Gamer! Hab mir das XO Seven vorbestellt und am Releasetag bekommen. Hab jetzt einige Tage mit dem Headset gespielt und gestern den "Härtetest" gemacht. Von ca. 19 Uhr - 4 Uhr früh wurde gezockt. Forza 5 und Battlefield 4 standen auf der Liste. Zunächst muss ich sagen, dass das Headset nach der gesamten Spielzeit nicht einmal unbequem geworden ist. Der Tragekomfort ist TOP!!! Sehr leicht, gut gepolstert und sehr flexibel. Turtle Beach Qualität eben. Nun zum Klang. In der Produktbeschreibung von Amazon steht das es 5.1 Sorround kompatibel ist. Das ist nicht 100% richtig. Das Headset "simuliert" den 5.1 Klang. Dies jedoch macht es richtig gut!!! Habe in verschiedenen Situationen (BF4) dies festgestellt. Schüsse, Schritte, Explosionen, Stimmen, alles was zum Orten des Gegners hinweist, funktioniert super. Links, rechts, oben, unten, usw. ist sehr gut voneinander zu unterscheiden. Bei Forza genau das selbe! Fahrzeuge lassen sich sehr gut orten, besonders wenn man in der Cockpitperspektive fährt ist dies sehr wichtig. Insgesamt lässt sich also kein Unterschied feststellen. Habe vorher auf der Xbox 360 mit dem Tritton Warhead 7.1 gespielt und muss sagen, dass sich das Erlebnis nun auf der Xbox One mit dem XO Seven sehr ähnelt. Es sind Kleinigkeiten die den Unterschied machen. Aber nun auch was negatives. Zwischendurch ist auch mir das bereits genannte "Knacken" aufgefallen. Dieses ist jedoch kein Defekt des Headsets!!! Der Support von MS hat bestätigt, das dies an dem Adapter liegt. Ein Patch wird via Controller Update folgen. Wenn der Adapter gezogen und wieder eingesteckt wird, ist das knacken wieder verschwunden. Desweiteren finde ich es nicht gut, dass man sich nicht selber hören kann wenn man spricht. So würde man ungewolltes "Schreien" vermeiden. Diese Funktion fehlt einfach und ist eigentlich Standard bei allen hochwertigen Headsets. Daher auch der Punktabzug. Zusammengefasst bin ich aber mehr als zufrieden mit dem XO Seven. Meine Erwartungen wurden erfüllt: - Lautstärke mehr als ausreichend (Versteh meine Vorredner nicht) - Super Klangerlebnis - Super Tragekomfort - Kein Kabel zur Xbox One (nur zum Controller) - Sprach- und Spielchat einstellbar Aber eine Frage bleibt: Wieso zur Hölle ist das Headset jetzt bereits um 30-40€ billiger?! Das selbe beim XO Four!? Aber gut, haben die nachfolgenden Käufer wenigstens was von. Für das Geld---> Zuschlagen!!!! Kann ohne schlechtes Gewissen meine Kaufempfehlung aussprechen.

If you play xbox, and have a wife/girlfriend who hates the sound of explosions and gun fire, I would highly recommend these. They are comfortable, the sound is crystal clear and my buddies hear me perfectly. Another positive is they don't seem to drain the xbox one controller much quicker than not having a headset plugged in. The cord has a nice proactive covering over it; this was an absolute awesome idea. If you have furball cat beasts around the house this will most certainly help protect the cord. I lost many (and I mean many) iphone charge cords, headset cords, and recharge cords due to my furry friends. If you don't mind paying the price these are a great buy. Turtle Beach knows what they are doing and I promise you that you will be very happy with the purchase.

El envío como siempre, genial.Respecto al producto si que es cierto que son un poco delicados, me refiero a la parte del plástico que rodea los auriculares por la parte externa, que es muy fino.En los otros que tenía mi marido, se le rompieron de ahí.pero la calidad del sonido y lo que aíslan son geniales.Yo los recomiendo, la prueba está en que son los 2 que tenemos.
