If Turtle Beach wants to offer extra software to power up its headsets, it needs to be good, reliable, and broadly compatible.

My biggest negative, in fact, remains the available software on PC and mobile - which is good on paper, but just a little bit rubbish in practice.

This is a niche feature, but one I really appreciate.Īll of this combines with that hefty battery life and other smart design changes, such as a better-padded headband, to create an overall much better headset. It also allows you to stand up, leave your gaming session, and walk out of the door with your headset still going to listen to music or a podcast on your phone. One useful little feature is the ability to have both Bluetooth and Dongle connections at once - so you could pair your phone and take calls without interrupting your game audio, with the volume carefully leveled between the two audio sources. This is compatible with all of the above too, though you might get more features on certain devices with the dongle. However, the other method is just as viable: Bluetooth. The dongle has a specific ‘Xbox’ mode, which unlocks additional benefits on that platform, but it works elsewhere, too - just flick the switch on the dongle to ‘USB’. This should also theoretically work on a docked Switch, or even on Steam Deck with a USB adapter. I tested this on both Xbox (which is what the headset I tested is primarily marketed as being for), PS5, and PC, and each time it connected quickly and painlessly to the device. Connecting comes in one of two forms - bluetooth, or a USB dongle that connects the headset over a 2.4GHz wireless signal.

There’s broad compatibility here, with the headset’s full suite of features compatible with all Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles, PS4, PS5, Switch, phones, PCs, including the Steam Deck. Even if you do run out of charge, it’s got quick charging, meaning plugging it in via USB-C for ten or fifteen minutes will get you anywhere up to seven or eight hours’ of action.Ĭonvenience is the name of the game, really. A couple of tests in VG247’s highly unscientific lab do reveal this figure to be accurate - putting it a little way below some other general wireless headsets, but towards the top-end of gaming-specific sets. The biggest change in this new ‘Max’ variation is actually to the headset’s battery life, with Turtle Beach claiming that the set can last for over 40 hours.

That’s important, too - this headset has both console and bluetooth capabilities, which means you can use it for gaming, but also as a headset while you’re out and about, for music, taking calls, or portable gaming on a phone or other device. I’m a big fan in particular of the materials used for the headset and of its design, which I feel does a pretty good job of bridging ‘gamer’ aesthetics, but without over-the-top RGB lighting and a shouty, edgy aesthetic that’d make this something you wouldn’t want to wear out in public. It feels about as sturdy as a lightweight, wireless headset can be, and seems built to withstand the standard-issue wear and tear that’ll come from putting it on, hurriedly ripping it off, and tossing it to one side of the sofa - though I obviously wouldn’t exactly want to sit on it. It’s comfortable and can be worn for hours, for instance.
