Review: Turtle Beach Ear Force PX5 Wireless Headset

Few gaming peripherals possess the reassuring utility of a wireless headset. Turtle Beach's PX5 surround-sound cans give you an extra tactical advantage.

Supreme comfort and great sound for epic gaming sessions, at least as long as the batteries last. A multi-tasking champ: lets you listen to your music, answer phone calls, and play your games on a single headset. Console agnostic (mostly) — works with...

Clunky (and frankly, unnecessary) software for adding more audio presets than you will ever use. Depressing battery life. Lackluster simulated 7.1 surround sound. Costs almost as much as your console

Ear Force PX5 Programmable Headset (with Bluetooth) review: Ear Force PX5 Programmable Headset (with Bluetooth)

Ear Force PX5 Programmable Headset (with Bluetooth)

The ; is a fantastic surround-sound gaming headset that offers a huge number of customizable and default presets. It can even serve as a Bluetooth headset and connect with a phone or compatible music player.

We experienced some minor interference with devices on the same 2.4Ghz band, like our wireless router. When using the PX5 as an optical audio pass-through, we had numerous audio dropouts. We also found that the transmitter is better left in the...

The PX5 is easily one of the best wireless surround sound gaming headsets we've ever tested. While its $250 price tag is high, the set should satisfy gamers for years to come. The software, however, won't work with Macs.

Turtle Beach Ear Force PX5

The Ear Force PX5 Programmable Wireless Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset, or Turtle Beach's PX5 for short, is a powerhouse of a headset. That's not necessarily for ultra-high sound quality, but for the depth of customisability and performance...

Wireless with strong Bluetooth signal; Customisable audio; 7.1 Dolby Surround; comfortable

Battery-powered; leaks sound which can creep into microphone

Great headset for FPS gamers! Don't pass it up !!!

I have had this headset for over a year now with no problems using it a couple hours per night for FPS gaming on a PS3. The sound it puts out along with the Dolby processing is amazing clear and detailed. You are able to hear somebody pull the pin or...

-Sound quality is second to none at this price point -Comfort for extended game play great -Presets for the EQ are great plus you can make your own -Removable batteries-See summary for more on this- -Good build quality -Game and voice sounds adj indv

-Some static from router being on the 2.4 channel I was able to mitigate this by changing the channel on my router so this is very rarely a problem. -A little heavy for extended gameplay, no more than others of this quality however.
