Programmable Wireless Dolby® 7.1 Surround Sound

The Turtle Beach PX5 comes loaded with so many cutting edge technical features that you’d think we stole it from a super spy. When you’re chatting wirelessly on PlayStation Network while streaming music into the video game you’re playing from your own smartphone, try not to worry about the possibility that maybe we did steal it from James Bond. When you start answering phone calls through the headset with the tap of a button because it’s paired with your smartphone, try not to worry that maybe he’s coming after you because he wants his secret tech back. Just keep gaming…we got you!

Why You Need It!

  • Dolby® Surround Sound – Surround yourself with sound, not enemies.
  • Wireless chat – Cut the cord. 
  • Programmable audio presets – Don’t sweat it if someone messes with your settings; you can get them back at the touch of a button. 
  • Stream music or phone calls – Don’t like your game’s soundtrack? Add your own!

Overview

    The Turtle Beach PX5 is the most technologically-advanced headset ever designed for PS3 and XBOX 360 gaming, incorporating a programmable digital signal processor to allow independent customization of the chat, game and microphone signals. Custom presets stored in the Turtle Beach PX5 headset can be selected during specific parts of the game to emphasize sounds like footsteps or reloads that might otherwise be difficult to hear. It can even be programmed to disguise your voice or to enhance the voices of online players so you can hear them more clearly during intense parts of the game.

    The Turtle Beach PX5 is also the first headset to incorporate dual radios—one for immersive, Dolby® Digital surround sound game audio and another for chat on the PlayStation Network via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth feature also supports stereo audio streaming for listening to music while playing a game and can also be used to accept phone calls while playing the game.

    Although optimized for PS3 and Xbox 360 gaming, the Turtle Beach PX5 is also perfect for watching movies and listening to music, with its impeccable audio performance, large, deep, fabric cushions, soft headband, and twist cup designed for resting the headset on your shoulders. The Turtle Beach PX5 marks the beginning of a new breed of wireless gaming headset that serves as the ultimate “secret weapon” in the arsenal of serious gamers seeking unmatched audio quality, sonic control and a competitive advantage.

Reviews
  • Craving Tech

    "There’s nothing like buying a new piece of equipment knowing it will revolutionize the way you interact with your favorite games."
  • Smorgasbord

    9/10..."Turtle Beach has refined so much that this could be their best headset ever."
  • Ripten

    “The Ear Force PX5 will blow your ears away. And I don’t mean damage your ear drums or anything like that – your ears are in for an unmatched auditory delight. Turtle Beach has been working hard to make the perfect wireless Surround Sound headset and with the Ear Force PX5 they have triumphantly succeeded.”

    “The PX5 far exceeds what I expected. Turtle Beach has succeeded in making one of the, if not the best gaming headsets available. The sound quality, features, and overall design is as good or better than anything out there today.”

  • The Charleston Gazette

    “The simulated surround sound did a fantastic job of conveying directional audio while playing "Call of Duty: Black Ops," and the dialogue in "L.A. Noire" was loud and clear amidst the other game audio (this is one particular area in which the PX5 is head-and-shoulders above other headsets I've used.)”

    “Retailing for around $250, the Ear Force PX5 is a substantial investment for the average gamer. But with its quality and performance that rivals high-end wired headsets, the PX5 is worth every penny.”

  • Device Magazine

    “The Turtle Beach PX5 headset is essentially perfect.”

    "...nothing even compares to this headset, which I feel is the most technologically advanced headset around."

  • Examiner

    “What's surely to be a standard within this market (if it's not already) is availability of presets and the PX5 has a wealth of those.”

    “...you'd be hard pressed to find something as complete and convenient as the PX5.”

    The Ear Force PX5 lets you customize the way game, chat, and mic sounds are processed. You can configure each preset with different settings to enhance specific parts of the sound.

    With the press of a button, you can completely change your sound environment and hear sound cues you’d normally miss. For instance, you can isolate the sound of footsteps in the distance while gunshots are blasting all around you or hear the clink of a bullet shell falling on the floor. By adjusting the way sounds are processed, you can choose what’s important and react faster. The PX5 also reduces ear fatigue with its unique Ear Guard feature that automatically controls the volume of extremely loud sounds, like explosions, without affecting other sounds in the game. You can play longer without having to turn it down for the occasional blasts of explosions and gun shots.

    Presets give you a huge competitive advantage by allowing you to hone in on sounds your enemies can’t even hear, making sure communication with your team is crystal-clear and filtering out distracting noises that can overwhelm your concentration.

    Game Presets

    Game presets change the way the headset processes game sounds, so you can tune in to the important sounds at critical parts of the game. For example, if you're having a hard time hearing footsteps while playing your favorite FPS, just load up a preset that makes footsteps louder and you can suddenly hear them over loud gunfire and explosions, just as if you had super human hearing.

    Chat Presets

    Chat presets manipulate the voices from XBOX Live and PlayStation Network chat. Have a teammate or friend who's always huffing and puffing into the mic? Just load up a preset that kills off really quiet chat sounds so you don't have to listen to the breathing. You could use a chat preset to limit burst volume if you've got a friend prone to victory-yelling. Or, load the Chat Boost preset if you can't hear your teammates over the roar of loud game blasts.

    Mic Presets

    Mic presets let you change the way others hear your voice. If you're playing in a room with a lot of ambient sounds, you can quiet things down by using a preset that shuts off the mic when you aren't talking. You can also have fun with the Voice Morphing feature which can make you sound like a monster, a chipmunk or anything in-between.
