Earlier today at E3, Turtle Beach announced a large range of new headsets and offers for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC gamers.
The new products ranged from new headsets for both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 which are the first ever to provide DTS Headphone: X 7.1 Surround sound. They also announced the first Xbox One headset which will ship with full wireless game and audio chat negating the need for the Xbox One Audio Adapter option, which is great news for those of us who want to game without wires.
Xbox One Compatible Headsets
The Ear Force Stealth 500X is a fully wireless surround sound headset for the Xbox One console. The Stealth 500X delivers digital audio from the Xbox One’s optical connection, and separate wireless channels for chat and game audio. Utilising immersive DTS Headphone:X 7.1 surround sound and a completely re-imagined preset system, players can use surround sound modes that are finely tuned for different types of games, movies and music. For example, the game surround sound mode offers presets that have been acoustically tuned for first person shooter, racing, and sports games. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 15 hours of playing time, and new high-performance WiFi ensures an interference-free wireless experience. Swap out the removable microphone for the included mobile cable and use the Stealth 500X on the road as wired headset.
The Ear Force XO ONE is a lightweight, comfortable stereo Xbox One gaming headset that is packed full of features. The XO ONE features finely tuned 50mm drivers, multi-step Bass Boost and Microphone Monitor. The high-quality flex microphone is removable for use with mobile devices as a headphone.
With the new Stealth 500X and XO ONE, Turtle Beach now offers five Xbox One headsets. In March 2014, Turtle Beach released the first officially-licensed Xbox One headsets on the market: the XO FOUR, XO SEVEN and Titanfall Atlas.

The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 15 hours of playing time and new high-performance WiFi ensures an interference-free wireless experience. Acoustically angled, large 50mm Neodymium speakers deliver an immersive audio experience.

The P12 will be available globally on July 10.
Turtle Beach previously released the PX4 wireless surround headset and P4C chat communicator for the PlayStation®4 console. With the addition of the Elite 800, Stealth 400 and P12, Turtle Beach has now announced five gaming headsets for PlayStation®4 since the console launched in November, 2013.
A new Elite membership programme for Turtle Beach users was also highlighted as adding special benefits to “Competitive gamers”. The offers will range from “member discounts, two-year extended product warranty, early access to news and product information, and a range of unique, member-only opportunities at Major League Gaming (MLG) and other gaming events”.
Finally Turtle Beach launched a new “Tournament Audio Controller” which is set to allow gamers quick controls to adjust audio mixes, volume, mic controls and more. The device will work on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, but no mention was made of compatibility with the Xbox One.
