PS3 Wireless Headset Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound | Ear Force PX5

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.

Chat Boost automatically increases the online chat levels during intense gaming sequences, so communication from teammates isn’t drowned out.

As the game audio gets louder, the chat volume is automatically increased so you can continue to hear what everyone is saying. When the game volume quiets down, the chat level gradually returns to the normal volume setting. You can see it working by looking at the chat level light, which gets brighter as the game gets louder and the chat level increases.

It’s a simple solution to an annoying problem, and it happens automatically, so you don’t have to adjust anything!

If you're wearing a headset, it's hard to hear yourself speak, so you'll tend to talk louder. Just like a telephone, it mixes a portion of the microphone signal into the headphone signal, so you can hear some of your voice along with the online chatting and game audio. This lets you easily sense what you're saying, but not so much that it's distracting.

Mic monitoring not only helps you stop talking so loud, it also eliminates that annoying "clogged ears" feeling when talking while headphones are covering your ears.

The built-in Bass Boost feature, which enhances deep-bass effects and makes the game audio even more dramatic.

This is similar to adding a subwoofer to a home theater system where extra bass introduces additional depth to the overall sound. The Bass Boost effect allows you to hear deep audio cues that would otherwise be difficult to hear, resulting in a valuable advantage over your competition.

What's In The Box?

How Does It Work?

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.

Customize Your Headset

Register and download software to create, edit, and upload new presets to your PX5. 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.

Alan Wake - Zombie Foot Steps

This sound clip shows how the sonic lens pulls out faint footsteps masked by background music and other noise. In the original clip, you can barely hear the footsteps in the background, while in the processed clip the footsteps are clear, with less background masking. Also, listen to how the Blast Limiter reduces the intensity of the gun blast so the sound level can be turned up to better hear the footsteps, without making the other sounds too loud.

Original Sound
After Sonic Lens Customization

Call of Duty: Black Ops - Foot Steps

This clip illustrates footsteps masked by intense wind, making them hard to hear. The processed clip illustrates how the sonic lens and equalizer can reduce the wind level to bring out the footsteps, making them easy to hear.

Original Sound
After Sonic Lens Customization

Halo Reach - Foot Steps in Water

These clips show how a combination of Sonic Lens, EQ processing and Sound Field Expander make it easy to hear footsteps in water by eliminating the distracting noise that is masking the footsteps.

Original Sound
After Sonic Lens & Sound Field Customization

Call of Duty: Black Ops - Machine Gun Fire

This clip shows how the sound of machine gun fire can get too loud, making it impossible to turn up the volume to hear softer sounds. With the Blast Limiter, the machine gun sound is lowered without affecting other sounds. This lets you turn up the volume to hear soft sounds while not blasting your ear drums with louder machine gun sounds.

Original Sound
After Blast Limiter Customization

Forza Motor Sports - Music

These clips show how the sound of background music can be reduced with Sonic Lens and EQ processing, so you can listen to your own music over the racing of engines.

“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 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.”
