The real problem with these headphones
Turtle Beach's preset is rich if your chosen game is mounted in poor sound, which
you will quickly notice. For example, Dead Space 2 has the sound design that is
extremely overwhelming, you really start to appreciate it when you are changing
the volume of the surround channels and move the bilateral angle of the front
channels and behind your ears around. People talk about this angle, you can
move the virtual speakers front left and front right 10 degrees. Reducing the
volume of the channels in between allows us to cancel most of the characters'
sounds like footsteps and gunfire, which makes sure we do not scare their own.
However, the switch to Modern Warfare 3, we soon found out that the only thing
that the sound design is left in the channel between the voice prompts. In this
case, the ACU is too strong - you really start wanting what you cannot. Sure
you can achieve all of this with a real speaker setup, but it will never be
this fast adjustment.
Turtle
Beach's XP Seven headset system is worth its MLG qualification.
You may be wondering about the ACU being
only 5.1 instead of 7.1 like most other headphones. Simply put, most solutions
are providing real 7.1 Dolby PLIIx to use matrix (matrix) added 2 behind the
virtual channel, based on 5.1 information is actually sent to the decoder box.
In fact, it's the same one filler (filter), and basically cannot see us even
though we checked the headset for several years with this feature. The audio
controls compensate for its extra strength.
When
it comes to chat and mic audio, there are also many features.
When it comes to chat and mic audio, there
are also many features. Because the Seven headphones block pretty much noise
from the outside, the ACU provides voice track so you will not feel the need to
scream into the mic. Fortunately, it can also be adjusted, allowing us to
perfectly adjust the game volume, chat and our voice. The features worked more
efficiently while using boom mic. Feels Like other headphones, you will also
see the enhanced chat (chat boost) is included, which adjusts the volume chat
at the same speed as the game sound changes, while keeping fixed rate of You.
For example, if the volume increases by 1 notch game, chat channels will only
increase 1 step whether to lower the volume multiple times. Unlike our
experience with PX21 few years ago, the little chat strengthens legs - nothing
sounds worse than the pierced eardrums. In summary, the quality of the mic boom
mic and inline is acceptable for the purposes of intended use. However, do not
hear us speaking like this, you can listen to the audio clips below.
Conclusion
Apart from a few problems and frustrations
in design, we are satisfied with the XP Seven Series package. However, we love
the Audio Control Unit over the headphones. The Seven Series Headphones product
is relatively stable, but there are many other headsets at $150 we will use with
the ACU if possible. Compared with older headphones Astro MLG, this product
represents a clear step forward, and we are sure many gamers who want to
compete will love it. As for us, we will wait until the ACU becomes available
as a standalone product and combine it with a better set of headphones. There
is one thing for sure: Astro Mixamp finally defeated in the game of it.
We
are satisfied with the XP Seven Series package.
