Where the XO FOUR and XO SEVEN sets possess a reassuring heft and sturdiness, the ONE, whilst light and comfortably worn for extended gaming sessions, does feel a little loose and delicate, far less fit to absorb the unexpected impacts that come in the heat of some particularly enthused multiplayer battles. It takes great advantage of Windows Sonic for Headphones, rendering it suitable even for hardcore gamers on a strict budget.

It may not provide the subtlest of 3D sound implementations – you can tell very clearly whether sounds are coming from left or right, but not, say, if they are just left or right of centre. The light build makes for a comfortable-wearing headset, with no excess of weight hanging from the ears and a soft strip of padding on the underside of the headband preventing the set from creating a bald patch or eroding the top of your skull through those weekend marathons. Also useful for retooling this set as your normal listening cans is the removable mic that simply pulls out from its jack. Easily switch between profiles for different aircrafts and use the training feature to familiarize yourself with each control so you spend less time on the tarmac, and more time in the air.

From those early days of MegaDrive sweetness, bashing through the throngs of enemies on Shining Force II, his love of all things games has extended upwards and outwards onto a variety of platforms. The Xbox One has a weird design choice that’s been bugging us for years now: its standard controller doesn’t have a 3.

In my chat experience, voice came through nice and clear, though this is hard to judge as it depends so much on the hardware at the other end of the line. But with Windows Sonic for Headphones doing its stuff, the XO Three’s sound became much more dynamic, with that atmospheric bass rumble which gamers love coming into play.The Turtle Beach XO rejects ostentatious luxury, going with value instead – it’s a no-frills, wired Xbox One X gaming headset for the meant for users that neither have a ton of cash or harbor aspirations to become professional Esports players. It makes good use of Windows Sonic for surround sound audio, and its build quality means that it's not going to break on you anytime soon. It’s lightweight and compact, so won’t obstruct or irritate when cramming wotsits in your gob during lobby time between matches. Plus, experience immersive audio and coordinate your flight through the integrated headset audio jack. This would definitely be an improvement over the Microsoft set, but it too lacks the bass booster, which completely alters the audio experience when compared side by side.
