The XP 510's mic is also detachable to prevent dust buildup, and has a slick aluminum cover that prevents the mic's felt tip from falling off. The detachable mic on the XP510 has a quality micro-gooseneck boom that flexes easily. Other headsets such as the Razer Chimaera have detachable mics that are made of poorly-constructed rubber material and couldn't bend properly for good voice delivery in chat sessions.

I've used some of the better Tritton AX Pro models with rotating earcups, but I shouldn't like to suffer the stickiness and heat of pleather ear cushions again during marathon gaming sessions. This feature is very useful for when you need to rest your headset on your shoulders! The ear cushions act like clamps and hold the headset steady when you need to take a break from your gaming session. One particularly excellent innovation is that the XP510 has 180 degree fully-rotating ear cups. Overall, I like the sturdy design of the headset.

The Bluetooth functionality on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 functioned flawlessly, and pairing both the controller and a second device was easy (see below). Theoretically, you could game on a Saturday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 AM the next day and just recharge them overnight.

After the initial charge, my headset lasted a full 15 hours. The rechargeable batteries are LiPo (lithium polymer), an advanced long-lasting battery type. The headset's batteries have a good lifespan. I found that the headset offered a combination of features that I was specifically on the hunt for. Setting up the pairing is a matter of following the prompts on the XMB under PS3 Settings/Accessory Settings.īack view of XP510 earcups rotated 90 degrees on base unit. The PS3 setup process involves enabling the console to "find" your PS3 controller. Just insert the XBA Bluetooth Chat Adapter and easily pair it with the base unit. You can connect your Xbox controller wirelessly without the bothersome controller cord (aka the Xbox Talkback Cable) that dangles down to your controller. The XP510, when it comes to wireless connections, offers a bonus. Dedicated gamers who still have interference problems might purchase a dual-band router and port their gaming permanently to the 5 GHz band. With today's wireless device-populated wifi channels, it can be challenging to find wifi solace. You can easily verify your wifi settings and set the channel on your router for relatively interference-free broadcasting with this tool. Many people experience interference from household electronic devices (and nearby, overlapping wireless networks) on the 2.4 GHz band. It automatically scans for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band, selecting the band with an optimal wireless connection and the least interference. The Turtle Beach digital RF wireless transmitter is dual-band wifi-capable. The way this technology works is that it maximizes network workloads. If the pre-pair sequence was lost somehow you can still connect by (starting with headset powered off) repeating the standard sequence of base station-to-headset pairing steps. The headset and transmitter are handily pre-paired out of the box. Note that connecting to an original Xbox 360 model will require an Xbox 360 HDMI Audio Adapter Cable.
You're done when the pleasant Siri-like voice says, “Powering on”. Press and hold the power button until the LED turns solid.
Insert the mic boom and power on the headset. Just connect your optical cable to the Digital In port and power cable to your game console of choice. Setting up headsets and pairing them to base stations can be a needlessly time-consuming and frustrating experience, but setup for the XP510 was quick and without incident.
