Reddit reviews Turtle Beach - Ear Force Headset Audio Controller Plus - Superhuman Hearing - Xbox One

Not really. The adapter provides superior sound quality.

>Mute, Voice and game Volume

Edit: I have the Turtle Beach Headset Audio Adapter

I second this!
And if you are able, get a Turtle Beach Audio Controller. It'll give you the ability to monitor your own voice as you're speaking with the Clouds. A solid combo.

Plugging in the adapter disables mic monitoring. You'd have to buy one of these to keep mic monitoring: https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Headset-Controller-Superhuman-Hearing/dp/B00PWRYKDE/

My Turtle Beach adapter isn't working with the elite v2.

Sounds are distorted, like metallic or robotic. Dashboard and game audio are both affected. The adapter works fine. I just moved it from my elite v1 to the new v2. I can mute the mic and adjust volume but the sound is fucked up. Headset icon next to battery and time shows it's connected. Headset works fine through the elite 2 headset jack. Seems to be some kind of firmware/driver issue between v2 controller and adapter.

Not the BEST solution, as it requires some cash, but I picked up a Turtle Beach adapter with mic monitoring and superhuman hearing and it is awesome. $25 on Amazon.

Buy the adaptor (£24), then get any half decent over ear headphones (£28) that include an inline mic. That way you can use them for day to day listening on other devices and you can use alternative headphones on your xbox in a pinch.

Orange on the new one?

I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PWRYKDE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_i2cOAbRT4VNM8

I highly, highly recommend HyperX Pros. They are super comfortable for long gaming sessions (I've had problems with similarly-priced Turtle Beach and MS cans in the past). Also, the faux leather pads feel great. I switched them out for the foam ones a few months back so I can hear my girlfriend when she's in the room. Haha! Also, they're "cooler" for summer weather.

I do have to say, though, you'll probably want to cop a Turtle Beach adapter if you go with Hyper X, which will up the total cost considerably. The Turtle Beach comes with mic. monitoring. I can't even remember if Hyper X monitoring is supported through the Xbox dash. But they don't come with an adapter. I like having the controls right there in my hands versus the dash. And TB mic monitoring is much better.

He probably has an old Xbox one controller, they did have a weird ass connector, and if you wanted to use a normal headset you needed an adaptor: Turtle Beach - Ear Force Headset Audio Controller Plus - Superhuman Hearing - Xbox One https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PWRYKDE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.eIPBbFNPJDZ7

have you tried one of these adapters?

Sure, but Turtle Beach is still making their version for $40usd, so this is perfectly attainable.

Don't mind you asking at all!

It's a combination of 3.5 mm aux cables and adapters. My headset set-up also easily works with a ModMic5 (what I now use at work with my 1000XM2 headphones). If you need pictures I can share some links.

Cable management is key so that this doesn't become a crazy mess of wires, but for all the parts in play I set this up very cleanly.

If you want better mic monitoring, higher audio output, and chat/game audio balancing from the Xbox One controller (use just stereo audio, no virtual surround sound) you can add in the Turtle Beach Headset Audio Controller Plus ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PWRYKDE/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_f1J0CbG4W43H4).

3.5 mm Cables & Splitters

- TRRS extension cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0793K1CKR/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_.bK0Cb29J47BJ

- TRRS headset splitter (male to female jacks): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MR5TPKV/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_F7J0CbWA6G63Z

- Male to male 3.5 mm aux: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HQ26P39/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_Y8J0CbK1E7YBY

- Male to female 3.5 mm aux: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0793KLG31/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_n.J0CbEW9SKHP

​

1. Connect the TRRS extentionsion to the Xbox One Controller (with the Turtle Beach Headset Audio Controller Plus if you have one).
   
2. Connect the TRRS headset splitter to the TRRS extension cable.
   
3. Plug the Male to male aux in the headphone jack on the splitter and into your external amp input.
   
4. Plug male to female 3.5 mm aux extension into the amp output.
   
5. Plug the headphones into the 3.5 mm aux extension from the amp.
   
6. Connect the ModMic into the mic input port on the TRRS headset splitter.
   
   ​
   
   As you set this all up I recommend intertwining the cables or using some cable clips like those that come with the ModMic to make it clean.

I had an adapter from my old turtle beach XO one headset. I then bough a new chat cable off of amazon for £3 and it sorted it.

I suggest using a Turtle Beach Ear Force Headset Audio Controller Regular or Plus

https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Headset-Controller-Superhuman-Hearing/dp/B00PWRYKDE/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=turtle%2Bbeach%2Bheadset%2Baudio%2Bcontroller%2Bplus&qid=1564810063&s=videogames&sr=1-1&th=1

This attaches to your controller and controls the audio and mic output. It has mic monitoring as well allowing you to listen to your voice when chatting. You can then attach your headset to the 3.5 mm outlet on the this device.

Yes you can. I have an older Panasonic receiver with an optical audio port linking tv/Xbox . Just old-school 5.1 speakers. The Xbox turns my receiver/TV on and off via the Power settings.

I listen to game volume on that. Any box controller will work, tho I favor the elite. I have the turtle beach audio mixer that comes with any of their headsets. I got tired of wearing big over the ear headphones, I just plug a pair or earbuds into the turtle beach mixers and only put the earbud on that has the inline mic on the same line. Just use the turtle beach mixer to lower or eliminate game volume outta the earbuds so you can hear game chat.

Anything similar to the below would roughly match what I'm using. May be simpler solutions as your audio system is much newer than mine.

I like the buttons for the chat adapter as well. I use Turtle Beaches adapter with my elite. It has built in mic monitoring and many other features.

Yep, hyper cloud X's are what I use.

Pair it with this for extra awesomeness and more features

I have the same setup as you. I have a Denon 2400h with an Atmos setup.

Plugging in my headset adaptor to the controller activates Dolby Atmos for Headphones and dulls the receiver audio. Unplugging it sets it back to normal.

Something to do with the audio processing output to the controller audio first as a priority.

I have this adapter for 3.5mm jack headphones: Turtle Beach Headset Audio Controller Plus (Xbox One) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00PWRYKDE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_R72XCb9SKVQW0

The Stereo Headset Adapter has a mute button and some volume control for game audio and mic audio. Official Microsoft Version, and here's the Turtle Beach version. They both work with whatever normal headphones you have, you don't need anything fancy. I use cheap earbuds with the Turtle Beach one.

I use the turtle beach headset adapter since it came free with the turtle beach xo ones. Similar to the normal adapter, but perhaps there are a few differences in audio delay due to the bass boost or internal workings.

Anyway for 1) I find that my audio calibration fluctuates when using a controller wirelessly with the adapter. 80% of play sessions it sits around 90ms, but it can range between 75-120ms when I do manual calibration. That's probably more than your TV settings? But perhaps close to a surround sound setup. Compare!

If wires aren't a problem, plugging in the controller by usb seems to drop the lag number and make it consistent. Plus, you won't have to waggle a thumbstick to keep the it from falling asleep every 15 minutes. As for the cable between the controller and headset, I place the controller on the right and have it run across to my left ear and it never gets in the way. I don't know much about Bluetooth headphones, but hope this helps!

I’m referring to this adaptor:

Looks like you already ordered a new pair of cans, but I had this adapter and it worked well: https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Headset-Controller-Superhuman-Hearing/dp/B00PWRYKDE?th=1

Looked on amazon for mine and got a turtle beach audio adapter that comes with some extra features for about $40 (https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Headset-Controller-Superhuman-Hearing/dp/B00PWRYKDE/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1540687064&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=xbox+one+audio+adapter) but otherwise there are some 3rd part audio adapters and of course the official xbox one audio adapters but from what I saw they were $60 USD or more.

I've been using this one for years without issue: https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Headset-Controller-Superhuman-Hearing/dp/B00PWRYKDE

that is the only product i know FOR 10000000% SURE that will allow OMTP or CTIA standard headsets+mics to work on xbox one. even though it's not a "converter" it will allow OMTP devices to function 100% properly. i have never personally known anyone to get a OMTP to CTIA converter to actually work on xbox.

I can't find the turtle beach ear force adapter anywhere to purchase. Can someone provide an amazon link for me? Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Looks like I found it..is this the right one..for $40? https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Headset-Controller-Superhuman-Hearing/dp/B00PWRYKDE/ref=sr_1_8?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1469390457&sr=1-8&keywords=xbox+one+ear+force
