Programmable Wireless Dolby® 7.1 Surround Sound + Wireless Chat

If you don’t have an XP500 then don’t even try to call yourself an XBox fan, because you’re missing out on the end-all be-all XBox gaming experience. The XP500 is optimized for the XBox 360 and its slate of all-star exclusives, so settling for anything less is like ordering mashed potatoes without the gravy – if gravy had surround sound.

Why You Need It!

  • Wireless XBox Live™ Chat – Connect with your team, even if you aren’t connected to the console.
  • Sonic Lens™ - Focus your sound experience so you can hear anything (and defeat anyone!)
  • 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!

Bluetooth technology lets you chat wirelessly on XBOX LIVE and PSN, answer mobile phone calls and stream music – all while gaming in immersive 360 degree surround sound. Although optimized for Xbox 360 gaming, the Turtle Beach XP500 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 Ear Force XP500 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 XP500 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.

    Customize Your Headset

    Register and download software to create, edit, and upload new presets to your XP500. New and useful presets will be regularly updated and download-able directly from TurtleBeach.com/Customize. The possibilities are endless and the concept is revolutionary.
