Turtle Beach Headset Audio Controller Plus for - Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One

Simply put, if you want to get the most out of your headset, Turtle Beach or not this is the adaptor you need. Many customisation options provide settings available for different environments whether it be noisy or quiet.You have your standard chat mixer which is the same as the official Microsoft Stereo Adaptor providing different levels of volume and the level of in-game volume vs party chat volume along with your mute button. All works well and the audible beeps help knowing when your at one extreme or the other.However where this product comes into it’s own for me is two particular features which the Microsoft adaptor is lacking - Microphone Monitoring and Microphone Cancelling.I game in a room where my family are often watching TV or talking etc. As headsets these days provide great noise isolation from the outside world for environments like I described above it has become more and more difficult to actually hear what you are saying, something which when we talk is natural to hear. It can be really strange not hearing what you’re saying and generally you will get louder and even shout down your mic so you can hear yourself annoying others around you in the process. Yet the Turtle Beach adaptor has three levels of Mic Monitoring, feeding back what you say in to your headset. It’s crystal clear and is far superior to the in-build Mic Montoring if you was to plug your headset directly in to your controller. To change the settings keep hold of the mute button and you’ll hear the audible beeps from 1 to 3 for different levels of feedback you require.Secondly if your gaming in a noisy environment the standard Microsoft adaptor will easily pick up on external noise regardless if your headset has a noise cancelling microphone. My friends often mentioned they can hear the TV programme my Wife was watching in the background. Now with the Turtle Beach adaptor you can again change the setting to three different levels, 1 being generally the same as the Microsoft adaptor which I never use. 2 being the best all rounder, cuts out the majority of background noise and will only pick up on high pitched noise such as sneezes, alarms etc and 3 where it will practically cuts out 95% of all background noise. I’ll only use that setting when it’s particular noisy in the room for whatever reason as sometimes it cancels noise that well it’ll miss the very beginning of my sentence if I’m too quiet.One plus over other headset adaptor is the ability to have different game modes for the level of sound too. Extra bass, extra treble or both. Whilst it’s great to have the option there the difference isn’t massively different although you can tell. For FPS games the extra bass setting does give deeper and more dramatic explosions and to be honest I leave it in that setting.Another feature the Turtle Beach headset adaptor provides is ‘Super Human Hearing’ which in essence is there to provide greater accuracy in critical in game moments where you really need to hear the direction of an enemy coming towards you for example. To me it’s a bit of a gimmick and all it does is cut bass and increase treble which is quite uncomfortable after a few minutes. I’m still undecided if it does give you any advantage and I rarely use it.Overall for £25 it’s head and shoulders above the standard Microsoft adaptor and provides more features than the only other alternative in the Astro MixAmp. Without a doubt I’d recommend it.

Brilliant piece of kit for my wired headset that only has a 3.5mm headphone jack. Great mute functionality, and splitting of game audio with xbox party audio.Have had this for over 5 years now, and still works as good as ever. Definitely worth the price, rather than buying a cheaper alternative that may not be as high quality.

Having recently acquired the Turtle Beach Headset Audio Controller Plus for my Xbox One, I’ve found it to be a solid performer in enhancing my gaming audio experience. The controller allows for easy connection of my headset through the 3.5mm jack, and the audio quality is nothing short of excellent. The sound is crisp and detailed, making game audio immersive and enjoyable. The microphone also works flawlessly, ensuring that my voice is transmitted clearly and without interference, which is crucial for team-based games.The setup process was very user-friendly. The controller attaches securely to my Xbox controller, and the instructions provided were clear and easy to follow. The controls for volume and microphone mute are conveniently placed and responsive, making it easy to adjust settings mid-game without any hassle. The device itself feels well-constructed and robust, which gives me confidence in its durability over time.The product arrived in secure packaging, which ensured it was in perfect condition upon arrival. Delivery was remarkably swift, arriving within two days of placing my order. The customer service from the seller was exemplary, with clear communication and updates on the shipping status, making the entire purchasing process smooth and worry-free.On the downside, the price of £24.99 feels a bit excessive for what this accessory offers. When you consider that a brand new Xbox Series X controller, which includes a built-in audio jack and is compatible with both Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, is priced at £49.99, the cost of this Turtle Beach audio controller seems hard to justify. It’s essentially a plastic attachment with some basic audio controls, and its high price point doesn’t quite match the value it provides.Nonetheless, the Turtle Beach Headset Audio Controller Plus performs its intended function very well. If you are in need of an audio controller for your headset and can overlook the high price, this device will serve you reliably. It has enhanced my gaming experience significantly, and I have no complaints about its performance. Just be prepared for the steep price tag, which might be easier to swallow if you can find it on sale or as part of a discounted bundle.

After my sons 4th controllers 3.5mm headphone jack gave up (which is a common problem), I decided I wasn't going to shell out another 50 quid for the same thing to happen. Came across this and decided to give it a go. It had good reviews so why not. Glad I did as the controllers with the dodgy 3.5mm Jack's are all up and running as this uses the connection at the bottom of the controller.It fits really well with no movement. Because it is at the bottom of the controller, the cables flow in a natural line to his headset which stops any pressure on the connectors.I now have 4 controllers which are usable again so would definitely recommend for anyone with or wanting to stop the issue with the 3.5mm headphone jack.

I bought this in the hopes that it might resolve the issues I’ve had with Series X controller headset ports (namely - they are poorly mounted internally and over months can become loose resulting in intermittent audio). I was very happy to find that it done the job well. It uses the Xbox controller accessory port (not the 3.5mm headset port) to connect to the controller, so works well even if your headset port is faulty. The mute button brings parity with the PS5 controller (which has a built in mute button) and I like the ability to change the volume and game/chat mix without having to come out of a game to go to the Xbox overlay menu.Overall, I am very impressed.
