We released a firmware update for the Stealth 400 that enhances your headset by enabling Variable Mic Monitoring control. This firmware update will replace the Stealth 400 ’s independent chat volume control with a different feature set, Master Volume control (game icon) and Variable Mic Monitoring control (chat icon), which allows you to hear how loud your voice sounds inside the headset so you never have to shout at your teammates or other players (unless you really want to). The Elite 800X is no slouch when it comes to features, either. Active Noise Cancellation is the feature that we like the most, because it can really make a difference on public transport or in a busy office. The Elite 800X actively monitors outside noise and filters it out, allowing you to focus on your game or the music you’re listening to. Turtle Beach’s Noise Cancellation technology has really improved on its Elite range — it doesn’t create the sort of pressure that we got used to on previous generation headsets and instead sounds natural and comfortable. The company has created high-end gaming headphones before, including its most recent “Seven” line. It’s also made high-end wireless portable headphones for more general lifestyle use, like the i30. The Elite 800 aims to combine both these functions into one headset–one that can be used for gaming at home and then taken out of the door for listening to music on-the-go. Bluetooth range is good, if not exceptional — we were able to get around 20 feet away from our Macbook Air without the audio breaking up. Battery life of 10 hours is more problematic — competing headsets such as the Mad Catz F.R.E.Q. 9 go up to 20 hours, doubling this performance. After charging the headset overnight, we encountered the “low battery” warning at around 7pm, which isn’t ideal for those who use their headphones all day.

The Turtle Beach Audio Hub V2 desktop app has received an update to v3.14.6.84 (PC) and v3.14.6.83 (Mac). The Turtle Beach Audio Hub will be available for the Stealth™ 600 USB for Xbox and Stealth™ 600 MAX for Xbox soon! The Turtle Beach Audio Hub mobile app for iOS and Android has received an update to v3.14.5 (189) for iOS and v3.14.5 (220) for Android.Firmware update required for Nintendo Switch™ compatibility. Please remember to remove the protective film from your Scout Air ear buds before use. This means that the headset sports Bluetooth wireless connectivity for connecting to portable devices such as laptops, tablets and mobile phones, while a bundled wireless transmitter works with most devices that have an optical audio output, such as a PC, Mac, PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 4. The main issue for potential buyers to consider though, is the Elite 800X’s limited console support — it’s great for Xbox One, but PC and PS4 chat support is completely omitted. We really wish the Elite 800 and the Elite 800X were one product — an ultimate high-end wireless headset that would work with every major console and device. Right now though, the Elite 800 is a much better option for anyone who also games on a PC or PlayStation 4. You can simply just use the USB port and select Game and Chat on the PS4 menu. Using this method, you will still get both game audio and chat audio. However, you will no longer have independent control of game audio and chat audio levels.

Turtle Beach has worked with a lot of game developers to create presets for their games. You can load preset audio settings for individual games using Turtle Beach’s Ear Force Audio Hub software on PC or Android. That’s great if you own those devices, but nearly six months on from the launch of the Elite 800 headset, there’s still no support for iOS, which is a sorry state of affairs. There are some fairly big issues with the Elite 800X though. The battery life of 10 hours means that the headset will need charging if you use it all day. Worse still, the headset is covered in buttons that are so easily activated it’s a real nuisance. But the biggest issue is that the Elite 800X doesn’t support voice chat on a PC or PS4, making them much less versatile than the older Turtle Beach Elite 800 headset. The Elite 800 pretty much has it all when it comes to connectivity. Dual Bluetooth 4.0 pairing means that it will work with two devices simultaneously, so you can be listening to music from your tablet and take a call from your mobile. If your portable device doesn’t have Bluetooth connection, such as the 3DS, then you can connect using a 3.5mm cable, which is included in the box. New firmware updates are now available for your Stealth 600 Gen 2 for Xbox and Stealth 600 Gen 2 for PlayStation ®! Connect your headset to the Turtle Beach Audio Hub program on your PC to update your device’s firmware to: It’s fair to say Turtle Beach has had a lot of success in gaming headsets over the last ten years. As online gaming has grown in popularity, dedicated headsets have gone from being a luxury to a necessity, and Turtle Beach has reaped the rewards. Through partnering with pro gamers, releasing a wide range of products covering pretty much every price point, and just making good products, it’s become probably the most famous name in this particular market.The Elite 800s are completely wireless, communicating with a base station that plugs into your console rather than trailling wires across your living room.Wireless range used to be an issue with older console gaming headsets, but we had no trouble moving around the room. Audio never dropped out and sound quality never faltered, even eight feet away from the base unit. You can’t roam around the house and stay connected, as walls will diminish the signal rapidly, but even if you go out of range it connects automatically as soon as you get close enough. While the Elite 800 isn’t as stylish as wireless headsets from Bose and Parrot, it’s a big improvement on previous attempts from the company and gaming headsets in general. It’s clearly been been inspired by Beats Studio Wireless headphones, sharing very similar headband, ear cup and cushioning design, although they sadly don’t fold up in the same way. The Turtle Beach Audio Hub mobile app for iOS and Android has received an update to 3.14.6 (192) for iOS and 3.14.6 (223) for Android. To be fair to Turtle Beach, the blame for all this falls directly at Microsoft’s door because of the Xbox One’s use of proprietary audio connectors. This issue has been giving headset manufacturers headaches for the last 18 months, and there’s still not one wireless headset you can buy that works across all major platforms. It’s annoying, archaic and desperately anti-consumer, but then again Apple has been employing similar tactics for many years and earning money hand-over-fist. The headphones also boast DTS Headphone:X 7.1 Surround Sound for audio sources that output a Dolby Digital audio signal. This allows you to experience audio as if it’s coming from a pinpointed source, such as bullet fire from behind you, or a car crash to your side. Like all surround sound processing for stereo sources, it’s something of a fudge, and we prefer the pure stereo option, but it’s a feature you can enable or disable at your will.

It’s all the more jarring, then, that the Elite 800X has many small annoyances. The headset’s buttons are way too sensitive, meaning you end up changing settings or turning it on accidentally. Battery life is only just acceptable at 10 hours, meaning it’s possible to run out of power before the day is out. On the downside, they’re way too easy to press by accident. They’re located on four axes on each ear cup, which is exactly where you’d normally touch to adjust the headset or turn it off, and they don’t require any real pressure to depress, so it’s a bit of a problem until you’ve used the headset for a while. It’s also a lot of things to learn when first using the headset, because you obviously can’t see the buttons when you’re wearing it. A new firmware update is ready for your Stealth 700 Gen 2 for Xbox and PlayStation ®! Connect your headset to the Turtle Beach Audio Hub program on your PC or Mac to update your device’s firmware to version (v.2.0.2). We mentioned that the default ear covers look a little busy because of all the logos. Thankfully, they can be replaced with new ones, allowing this headset some level of customisation. If you register the headset with Turtle Beach, you become an “Elite Member” and qualify for two free pairs of speaker plates, as well as other useful bonuses such as a two-year extended warranty and a t-shirt. If you want to pair the 800X with a Bluetooth device such as a phone, tablet or laptop, there’s a Bluetooth button on the side of the headset that you hold down to pair. Your device should see the headset, and you’ll be able to use it for both voice and audio, so you can answer calls and listen to music. If your device doesn’t have Bluetooth (and at this stage it’s pretty much just the 3DS that falls into this category), then you can connect the 800X using a good old fashioned 3.5mm audio cable.

A new firmware update is ready for your Stealth 700 Gen 2 for PlayStation ®! Connect your headset to the Turtle Beach Audio Hub program on your PC or Mac to update your device’s firmware to version (v.2.0.6).
