About the Ear Force PX5

The Ear Force PX5 is the most technologically-advanced headset ever designed for PS3 and XBOX 360

gaming. To get the most from your PX5, please take a few minutes to review this introduction.

Digital RF Technology with Bluetooth

The Ear Force PX5 headset provides wireless CD-quality game sound via digital RF (radio frequency)

that communicates with the PX5 transmitter. In addition, the PX5 incorporates Bluetooth technology

which is used for communicating on the PlayStation Network (PSN) and optionally on XBOX LIVE.

The Bluetooth can also be paired to your mobile phone and digital music player. This means you can

use your PX5 to listen to your favorite music and accept phone calls–all while totally immersed in the

action of the game.*

5.1/7.1 Dolby Surround Sound

The PX5 transmitter processes Dolby 7.1 Digital surround sound from your PS3 or XBOX 360 and sends

it to the headset via digital RF. The result is an immersive sound environment that makes you feel as

if you're right in the middle of the action. It also helps you react quicker by hearing exactly where the

sound cues in the game are coming from.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

The headset uses digital signal processing to customize the game, chat and microphone audio signals

to improve performance in specific gaming situations. These settings are stored as presets that can be

easily called up to change the characteristics of the game sound, voices from other players and even

your own voice. For example, you can use the PX5 to accentuate sounds like footsteps or enemies

reloading that might otherwise be difficult to hear with normal game audio.

Programmable Presets

The integrated USB port lets you connect your PX5 to a PC. Go to TurtleBeach.com and download new

presets, program your own custom presets and update your headset with new features and more.

That means you can customize your PX5 and turn it into your own “secret weapon” that’s unlike anyone

else’s headset!

Intuitive Voice prompts

The PX5 incorporates intuitive voice prompts that announce critical headset status. Press the preset

button and you'll hear the number. When the batteries need to be replaced, it tells you in advance.

When powering on or off, you’ll hear an announcement. You can even replace the voices by visiting

TurtleBeach.com and downloading new ones!

Designed for High-Quality Sound

The PX5 headset is designed to deliver high-quality audio that makes it ideal for gaming, movies

and digital music playback. The high-fidelity, 50mm speakers are encased in acoustically-tuned ear

cups with soft fabric cushions and deliver extended bass with extraordinary dynamic range for optimum

audio performance.
