![]() In theory, this would increase the chances of a clear transmission between the two. According to Turtle Beach, the transmitter will pick the least congested frequency when pairing the transmitter to the headset. The wireless transmission technology has also been expanded to include the 5.8GHz band in addition to the standard 2.4GHz band found on the X31. Whereas the preceding X31 model used 40mm drivers, the X32 use 50mm drivers. In this way, users can set a level they are comfortable with, using the chat volume dial on the Xbox 360 talkback cable, and allow chat boost to manage things from there. The X32 also offer an interesting feature it calls “Chat Boost” Essentially, this boosts and trims chat volume to coincide with the rise and fall of game play volume. We’ll get into the nature of the effect and whether they match the manufacturer’s description in our performance section. Setting one is off, setting two is medium (described by Turtle Beach as narrow) and setting three is high (described as wide). The “sound field” button, located toward the rear of the left earcup, introduces a sort of “spatial” effect that seems to employ increasing amounts of reverb and phase effects. Image used with permission by copyright holder Through our listening tests we concluded setting one is flat, setting two boosts bass only, setting three boosts treble only and setting four boosts both bass and treble (like a loudness button). ![]() The X32’s wireless transmitter module offers an auxiliary input jack, allowing the user to listen to music from a portable media player - or audio from any other device, potentially an A/V receiver - even while gaming.Ī “tone” button located on the front side of the left earcup cycles through four EQ settings. It turns out, however, that you get a whole lot more than just a wireless transmitter out of the extra $40 it takes to get into the X32. We expected the X32 might simply be a wireless version of the X12. Read on to find out how useful these new features really are, and whether the X32’s wireless audio can hold a candle to its hard-wired solutions. Aside from looking quite a bit better than the X31, the X32 pack in bigger drivers, more advanced wireless transmission and several other nifty bells and whistles. The X32 replace last year’s X31 and bring with them some notable changes. That got us wondering: Could Turtle Beach provide an equally satisfying sound experience in a wireless stereo headset? We contacted Turtle Beach and in no time at all we had a pair of the Ear Force X32 sitting at our desk. Its audio quality surpassed our expectations and compared nicely against like-priced audio-only headphones. Turtle Beach pleasantly surprised us with its solid-sounding X12 wired gaming headset. Dual connectivity is also something many gamers might not realize is very useful, but being able to simultaneously connect a headset to a console and hear game audio and connect it to a mobile device and talk on Discord pushes the Stealth Pro’s utility even further.Also check out our review of the Turtle Beach Earforce X42 headset which brings Dolby Surround processing to the mix for an extra $60. ANC deepens the immersion that is oftentimes overlooked when it comes to gaming headsets, and TB’s proprietary software and features like Superhuman Hearing will bring out all the details to a user’s specific preferences. It's the sound profile and the customization that take the Stealth Pro over the edge, however, making this one of our favorite gaming headsets on the market. Being comfortable is selling point number 1 for a headset and Turtle Beach has been excelling in that category for a long time. And for glasses-wearers, Turtle Beach has designed the cushions to alleviate any pressure on their frames with an adjustable headband that ensures a snug fit. As expected, the closed design of the foam earcups (covered in a leatherette material) are just as comfortable at the beginning of a gaming session as they are at the end. The price is likely going to be a significant determining factor when it comes to the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro but it boasts a strong suite of features that justify that tag.
