Looking to buy a new headset for my Xbox one. The old one needs to be replaced as it worked great for my Xbox 360 but I can't control the volume on the Xbox one. It is a turtle beach x-7, I believe as I am too lazy to check. Any suggestions on what I should get in replacement?
Do you have a spending limit on the headset?
If you don't I would suggest getting a pair of Astros or if you have spending limit either turtle beach again or tritons

A40's are wired and just as good

Any problems with the a50s? My other turtle beach wireless kept disconnecting from the Bluetooth. Had that problem with two different sets.

No it has a small hub that's connected to the console. Optical cable and usb power cable. You will just have to buy a 10ft or however long cable you want to go from headset to console if it's about to die so you can still play.
You can charge your headset through your pic ports as well if you aren't playing

How about the Bluetooth connection. Does it drop out?

No I haven't had any problems with it and I've had it a year and a half

You have me sold. Off to take a look on Monday. Fingers crossed that they are not over $400 here down under.

They should be. Mine were £250 so it would be between $300-$350 hopefully

Shoot Xalience almost had me sold too if I hadn't just got a new one! Still probably will go check 'em out though next time I'm in town.
You should! I love my headset also in your game setting in black ops change your audio from default too super crunch you can hear footsteps and boosting better

I'd say for you to look into the the turtle beach 800x
There completely wireless and have a charging dock that also acts as a stand for the headset .
So when your not playing the headset charges and is ready for the next time your ready to game .
The headset also pairs it's on self once you turn your headset on ..
There's also a cool feature called Noise insulation button . You hit that and it Basicly eliminates all sound in your house haha
The best way I can describe is . When someone puts there hands over your ears . All you hear is game play [emoji23]
Another feature I like is . That the mic doesn't pic up a lot of other noises and voices in your background .
The battery life will last a full eight hours of play without dying out on you .
Iv went a whole day playing and then spending a few hours bumping on YouTube and they still didn't die out Haha
It has all the same presets as the Astros do . And it also haves a program that you can download to your laptop and program to your headsets . You have a total of 18 presets that you can program .
Bionic hearing , footsteps focus , etc etc
And I don't mean to bash Astros ..
But one thing that I did t like about the Astros and this has always been a problem in my eyes is .
If you want to higher your gameplay volume on then headset . Then your chat goes lower ...
If you want to higher your chat volume your game play goes lower .
They don't have a separate volume control for the both .
Iv Owend both the Astro A50 wireless and the turtles .. And I will say this ...
I turned in the Astros for the Turtles and I don't regret it one bit .
And to also let you know how much more I like the Turtles .
I got The 800x"s for the Xbox One and I also went out and Got The same Model 800 for the Ps4 .
Because I just couldn't do without the quality of the headset while I played on the Ps4
Hope this helps a lil ... If you have any questions fell free to ask

what about just going with the adapter if u like ur headset. i bought this for my TB Spectre. and i works awesome. just a thought
At the moment I do have the xp seven headset. Unfortunately I bought it when I had my Xbox 360. Now I changed over, and got the free connector to the Xbox one controller, I can't control the sound of anything. Used to have presets where I could hear footsteps, and the direction they were coming from, along with 7 other features. But none of it works. Before buying a new one I will contact turtle beach and find out why it does not work. As the Astros A50 and turtle beach 800x are true same price, $400, I will have to check out more reviews.

Quick question bigmak, does the headset have to plug into the controller? Or is it truly wireless?

Not wireless. I plug my headset into the adapter with a 3.5mm plugQuote:
