The connection and the connection is very simple: USB cable + optical cable (supplied with the headset) on the console and then we maintain the 5 second button on the receiver and then 5 seconds the power button on the headset (the headset must be switched off before pressing power) .... everything is nikel !!
Then I updated the helmet (recommended !!). We must go to the website Turtle Beach, find the Stealth 500X headphones and then, very importantly, choose the Language United States. Why you tell me ?? it's very simple, little program to do the update is available on the US site :)
We download it settles, is updated, the headset is plugged and the same time the receiver and the update will be done alone. We may subsequently create our own sound environments and choose among 8 presets twenty according to our tastes: Very convenient !!!
The finish of the helmet is good, with good quality plastics. The pads are very ergonomic and perfectly adapted to the ears. Its weight and very light (which quite surprised me initially) and foam below central larceau allows many hours of play without any discomfort.
As for the sound itself, I admit I was pleasantly surprised. Indeed, I am much aware of the quality of the headphones before making this purchase and several opinions were not very complimentary .... but in the end, I am fulfilled.
The sound is really good, crystalline, and all without NO cut or anything of the Wireless (testing for more than 10 hours and no mute). Stereo sound and surround can be adjusted independently: having deep bass or nuanced daigus not at all .... in short, the number of presets allow to find your preferred option.
Spatialization is very well done, even if emulated. We hear many sounds and before the back ... all good.
The microphone is also very good: Detachable and very mobile, it can be placed or you want (must be on the left ear). A very comfortable option as well: we have a return of his own voice in the headset, allowing not to scream;)
2 small negative points:
- The headphones are supposed to produce DTS but we must put the console into Dolby Digital ... not really understand !!!
- With sound thoroughly, the volume is not high, even if it is more than enough ....
You'll understand what Stealth 500X Turtle Beach is a great product and I recommend it.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate.
