With that out of the way, I went ahead and connected the headphones to my PC. To connect them in your favorite console is as easy as plugging them right in. The manual that comes with the headphones gives you the instructions you need to set them up to your PC, Xbox One, PS4, PS4 Pro, Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. Plugging them in and setting them up was no problem. If you don’t have the manual you can even go to the Turtle Beach website and find the instructions in the Quick Start Guide.

Configuring Your Audio Is A Simple Process

You’ll want to bring up sounds in windows 10 to have audio playing from the front and back audio ports. It’s located in the taskbar. You need to click on Rear Stereo Mix next. Click on properties after that, then click on listen. In the listen to section, you’ll find a drop-down menu where you can click on headphones. Click on it and make sure to check the listen to this device box.

The Headphones Are Made For Comfort And Convenience

All of your audio ports should be working as intended now. Control over your audio is the ultimate convenience.

Testing

volume

I plugged in the headphones and set them up to make it the most convenient for me. It’s time to test them out. I used Battlefield V for my initial test. First off, I needed to adjust the volume to enjoy everything going on in the game. I could instantly hear the surround sound with the headphones. These things are awesome!

You’ll Feel Like You’re Really Apart Of The Game With These Headphones

The game feels more immersive with the headphones on. The Virtual Surround Sound really makes gaming a treat for anyone using the headphones. Windows Sonic Sound will give you virtual 7.1 surround sound. I felt like I was right there with my comrades in Battlefield V. The cushions felt decent. I’m kind of hoping there’s a little burn in period for them thoguh. I hope they become a little more fitted for my head and ears. They’re comfortable thanks to the ProSpecs cushions. A little adjustment period is always needed for brand new headphones out of the box.

The Microphone Has A Clear Sound That Blocks Out Any Background Noise

My second test was to see how the mic sounded. The microphone gave me a clean sound with no background noise coming from the other end. It’s perfect for gameplay. You’ll feel just like one of your characters talking to your troops in the middle of a game.
