GROUND-BREAKING INNOVATION
The Ear Force PX5 comes loaded with so many cutting edge technical features you might think we stole it from a modern day spy. When you’re chatting wirelessly on PlayStation Network™ while streaming your own music into the video game you’re experiencing in full surround sound, try NOT to worry about the possibility that we did steal it from some super spy. Maybe he’s coming after you. Maybe he wants it back! Forget all that and focus on the game at hand! The PX5 marked the beginning of a new breed of wireless gaming headset that serves as the ultimate "secret weapon" in the arsenal of serious gamers seeking unmatched audio quality, sonic control and a competitive advantage.

TECHNOLOGICAL SUPERIORITY
Dolby® 7.1 Surround Sound-enabled PX5 allows you to immerse yourself in a life-like soundscape and gain a huge competitive advantage by hearing where your enemies are before you see them! Take chat to the next level by using Voice Morph and Chat Enhancement to disguise your voice or to enhance the voices of other online players so you can hear them more clearly during intense parts of the game. Control the sound field to focus on game audio cues like combat boot footsteps sneaking up on you or the telltale sound of the click of a reloading gun in the distance with Sonic Lens™ or go the opposite direction and enjoy total silence by eliminating ambient noise pickup on your mic and cutting background noise from PSN™ and XBOX LIVE™ chat sound using Sonic Silencers. Any way you slice it, the Ear Force PX5 will make game audio bend to your will!

EXCEPTIONAL COMFORT
You'll also enjoy unsurpassed comfort during extended game play thanks to the large, deep-cushioned ear cups and soft headband. In those rare occasions you do actually have to take the headset off, the twist cup design will let you rest the headset on your neck and shoulders so you can immediately jump back into gameplay after you were so rudely interrupted!
VERSATILITY
You’re not still using the pause button, are you? Use Bluetooth® to answer the phone through your headset while you keep gaming. Don’t like your game’s soundtrack? Use Bluetooth® to hear the tunes you have on your smartphone instead! It’s this same Bluetooth® technology that lets you chat wirelessly on both PSN™ and XBOX LIVE™. It should go without saying but, the Ear Force PX5 is also perfect for watching movies and listening to music, with its exceptional audio performance and sound quality.
THE TURTLE BEACH AUDIO ADVANTAGE
Our revolutionary digital signal processor allows gamers to enhance and personalize the entire gaming audio experience with fully customizable game, chat and mic signals with the creation of audio presets. The custom audio presets stored in the Turtle Beach PX5 headset can be selected during specific parts of the game to emphasize any sound for a competitive advantage or deeper immersion experience.

If you have the money or can scrape up the money and you play a lot of MP type games, you really need a good headset to step up your game. Being able to know someone is coming, how close the might be, and what direction they are coming from really helps. Even if you just play on campaigns, these headsets really help to immerse yourself into the game's environment.
The biggest plus with any headset for speakers is being able to play games loudly without keeping everyone else awake. More importantly, if you play games that has harsh language and you have kids, then you keep them from accidentally hearing it.
UPDATE 4/13/2011
Well, a few weeks of use now. I use them with the 360 and so far, I am averaging 10 to 12 hours of use before replacing the batteries. I use rechargeable NiMH batteries. The best feature they added to this headset, that the other models did not have, is they finally give you a warning your batteries are about to die.
The sound is still great. I have tried the various presets and they really help depending on what type of game you play. Still highly recommended.
The one thing I wanted to share were two points about the setup process and how to integrate this into your existing home theatre for those of you who use your PS3 as the DVD/Blu-ray player in your Home Theatre.
BACKGROUND:
For both of these points it's important to first understand the wire connections between the PX5 to your PS3. You'll use:
(1) the included toslink cable to connect your PS3 optical audio out to the PX5 optical audio port;
(2) the included USB cable to connect an open PS3 USB jack to the PX5 power jack (this one kind of stinks because USB is on the front of your PS3 which makes hiding the wires a bit harder).
SETUP CLARIFICATION:
The instructions for the PX5 are not completely clear on the fact that there are 2 steps to getting the Audio and Voice Chat to work. Which, if you're like me, will mean you'll start up COD and end up with a very nice headset for chat but hear no game sounds.
1) For voice chat, the instructions are out of order - you first Bluetooth pair the PX5 headset to your PS3 (using the provided instructions and the PS3 menu Settings > Accessory Settings > Manage Bluetooth Devices); and THEN set your PS3 to use the PX5 headset for voice chat (using the provided instructions and the PS3 menu Settings > Accessory Settings > Audio Device Settings). Don't be confused that the Audio Device Settings having the Output Device means you'll get the game sounds through the headphones - this only sends chat output to the headphones.... Read more ›
My best friend had those headphones but returned them because of this hissing, cracking sound that was god awful. However, TB has rid of this problem as it is no longer happening in the PX5s. THIS IS HUGE. If you do your research you will see a plethora of complaints about the X41s having this issue.
Further, if you are really into FPS games such as killzone, COD, BFBC2 etc, then you will appreciate some of the presets such as silent footsteps; some presets really immerse you in the game. Some ppl speculated that the presets may just be a gimmick or ploy from TB but INDEED THEY ARE NOT AND THEY WORK.
NOTE: Make sure to use ninjo pro on BO to really get the advantage or else you will end up hearing the sound of YOUR OWN footsteps, which is not desirable.
Lastly, you should know that MLG recommends the ASTRO A40s, which are also awesome but come with an even heftier price tag of 350+[(when you include the wireless option. Of course, these are wireless and have more features (voice changer, downloading more presets, comes with DUAL bluetooth capabilities which is something that you CANNOT get on the astros)]. The latter feature helps a lot since my gf likes to bother me while I'm gaming and my Android can be answered by a click of a button through the PX5s; pretty cool, eh?!
Also it is helpful for you to know that the Astros are known for really good Ambient sound and Narration. Also, the astros made an improvement with their 2011 edition giving better bass containment then they offered before.... Read more ›
