The product is powered by the direct to system option. You plug the headphones into the Xbox One Audio adapter which plugs into the game controller.

How long is the cord that connects the headset to the console?

Is another cord able to be connected to the headset if this one isn't long enough? Curious if the cord would make it from the couch to the console without creating tugging.

The cord connects to the Headset Audio Controller (included) that connects to the controller - so no need to plug it into the console. I don't know the exact length off-hand, but its gotta be three feet or more - its plenty to go from the controller to your head, even with the controller resting on a tale in front of you or something.

For the XO7 Pro, there is only one chord that goes from the headset to the controller. That chord is probably about 1-2 feet long (plenty of slack but not a mess piled up). The headset runs off the controllers power, and i play wired so im unsure how this would affect controller battery life.

It's a couple of feet long. The cord plugs into the controller and not the counsel. But if you wanted to you could use a longer standard headphone cord

The cord shouldn't be plugged into the console, just the controller. If you have a cable from controller to console there are other options that have 6m cables but it all depends on how far the couch is from the system.

XO SEVEN PRO OR PX24?

I have the PX24 and I would like to upgrade to these (XO Seven Pro). But after looking at the spec's I can not find any difference between these 2 headsets. Can anybody point out what the pro's would be to getting the XO Seven Pro over the PX24? Thank you!

I bought the PX24 and immediately disliked it. I tried the XOFOUR and the XOSEVEN and found that they were amazing. I downgraded ( price wise) from the XOSEVEN to the XOFOUR and love it. They may have the same features as the PX24, but the quality of those features are over the top when compared.

If you want to use headsets like the pros it would not be TB. I am not a pro and don't have the money to spend like a pro. So all I can tell you is I did not like the XO SEVEN at all the superhuman hearing was not clear they were distorted. I had the stealth 500 which had great surround sound but sometimes you had to completely rest your Xbox one to get them to work. I have the stealth 420 and love them. Great sound, comfortable, can move around the house and you can still commucate with the game. Does have enhanced hearing but not surround sound. Hope this helps

The adapter that provides four different sound functions and will mimic true surround. It's amazing to hear the direction of footsteps while playing call of duty. Worth the upgrade.

Basically it's just a matter of design performance, and the extras that come with the XO. Sound wise the are almost identical. The XO edges the PX24 out with a little more clarity on the small in game noises. Only other difference is price.

I would go with something wireless with great sound. I like the stealth 420. Great sound you can disconnect the mic and use them as regular headsets. My wife makes fun of me cause I use them when I do yard work. And no they are not Bluetooth that would be to easy. All the controls are on one side and the battery life if really good. You headset receiver is a little larger than a USB drive and I have mine plugged in on the side of my Xbox one. Very comfortble no wires to walk around when he's playing not connect to the controller. I would get a headset stand to have a place to hang his headset on and it's not just laying around

I would recommend the XO 7 Pro. They are $160 and are now on sale for $125. Here's my personal review on them...

After using these for a few months now, I am extremely happy with my purchase. Honestly these are the best sounding headsets I've ever had so far.

The bass is great and not overpowered. The sound is very very crisp and you can hear every angle.

For those who are planning on getting these headsets, they also include an extra cable for mobile use and you will still get great sound.

Comfort wise...VERY COMFORTABLE. I was worried since previous turtle beaches were very uncomfortable after long periods of gaming. It is memory foam so it keeps a nice snug fit.

GREAT for canceling out sound. Not just outside sound, but also from the headset. As in if you like your sound LOUD, it cancels out the sound so others can't hear it.

There are 4 settings for game volume options. I would suggest setting 3. It has treble and bass boost. If you just want bass boost, then setting 2 will fit what you need. I personally just like balance between the two.

DON'T LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS. "It's not 7.1 surround sound!" It is. "Terrible sound quality!" It's actually the best I've heard. Either they did something wrong or they had it shipped to them. (I never have electronics shipped to me. Too many risks)

All in all, to end this review, I highly recommend these headsets to anyone either for gaming, music, or both.

Well it all depends on how much you want to spend. For the price I like the XO Seven's.

On the Xbox one these headsets are wired to the controller but wireless to the Xbox if that makes sense. For truly wireless you'd have to spend upwards of 400-500 dollars, which IMO isn't worth it.

XO Seven's will be around 110 on sale and well worth the money.

The only difference between these and pro model is the pro model had a mlg on the side of the headphones which I kinda like it all black without it, and you get the newer adapter for the Xbox controller that includes voice monitoring that allows you to hear yourself talk so you don't yell, however turtle beach gives you a discount code if you buy this model to upgrade to the new adapter later on if you wish. So if you get a great deal on the old ones snag them before they are gone same exact headphone quality just the two minor differences.

Good question. When I bought mine, Best Buy had both versions on the shelf, in two different locations. The price on the older version wasn't marked, and it turned out that the older version was cheaper (at least at the time). I don't have any experience with the non-pro version, but the pro set is kind of nice. I'm not sure whether or not I'd buy it again, though - check out my review.

These are stereo, I checked this during Destiny by standing in a hive being shot and turning to see if the sound would change from ear to ear as well as still hearing background chatter. This do a good job at "simulating" surround sound(Xbox1 controllers do not send surround sound to ANY headset) so if you seen those $200 surround sound headsets for gaming they won't produce 7.1 or 5.1 surround sound. I hope this helps you.
