About the Ear Force PX3

The Ear Force PX3 is an advanced wireless headset that is engineered for the PS3, and also works with XBOX 360

and PC/Mac gaming. To get the most from your gaming experience with your PX3, please take a few minutes to

review this user guide.

Digital RF Technology

The PX3 provides wireless CD-quality game and chat sound on the PS3 via digital RF (radio frequency) that

communicates with the PX3 transmitter. The PS3 chat and voice signals are transferred between the PS3 and

transmitter via the USB connection. When used on the XBOX 360, chat and voice signals are sent to the controller

via the included XBOX 360 Talkback Cable.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

The PX3 uses digital signal processing to customize the game and chat audio signals, improving performance

in speciﬁc gaming situations. These settings are stored as presets that can be easily called up to change the

characteristics of the game and chat sound. For example, you can use the presets to accentuate sounds like

footsteps or enemies reloading a gun that might otherwise be difﬁcult to hear with normal game audio.

Interchangeable Presets

The USB connection on the transmitter lets you connect your PX3 to a PC and replace the factory presets with new

presets downloaded from TurtleBeach.com. That means you can customize your PX3 and turn it into your

own “secret weapon” that’s unlike anyone else’s headset!

Rechargeable Battery

The PX3 includes an internal rechargeable battery that lets you play for more than 10 hours before requiring

a recharge. By connecting the included Headset Charging Cable to the transmitter, you can continue playing

while the headset recharges.

Listen to your favorite music while playing a game

The PX3 transmitter includes a stereo input for your digital music player, so you can enjoy your favorite songs while

playing the game.

Engineered for High Quality Sound

The PX3 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, circumaural ear cups with soft fabric cushions

and deliver extended bass with extraordinary dynamic range for optimum audio performance.

Powering OFF: Press and hold for 3 seconds. A double low tone will sound and the LED will turn off.

Automatic Power OFF: If the Headset doesn’t detect any audio for more than 5 minutes, or if the

Transmitter has been powered off for more than 5 minutes, the headset will automatically shut down to

conserve battery power.

2. LED Indicator

A solid LED indicates the Transmitter is powered on and communicating with the Headset. A slowly blinking

or out of range. If this occurs, please refer to “Pairing the Headset and Transmitter” on pg. 8.

3. Pairing Button

Press and hold for 3 seconds to activate pairing mode. The LED will begin to blink rapidly.

your gaming console or computer.

6. Auxiliary Input Jack

Provides a 3.5mm input for digital music players or additional audio sources (cable sold separately). The audio

from the auxiliary input will be mixed with the game audio and can be adjusted with the game volume control on

the headset.

NOTE: The auxiliary input is only active in PS3 and XBOX 360 modes.

7. Charging Port

Used for recharging the Headset battery. Insert one end of the included Headset Charging Cable into

this port and insert the other end into the USB/CHARGE port on the Headset. You can continue to use

the headset while charging.

Transmitter Range

The Transmitter sends game audio to the Headset via digital radio frequency (RF) signal, so a direct line of sight is

not required. When you’re out of range, you may hear popping or clicking sounds if the Headset loses the RF signal.

For best performance, place the Transmitter in an open area that is unobstructed by objects that might absorb RF

signals from the internal antenna. Avoid placing it on metal surfaces, such as the top of a home theater A/V receiver.

When the Transmitter and Headset are communicating, the LED on the Transmitter will be solid on. If this LED is

slowly blinking, it means the Transmitter can’t communicate with the Headset. This could happen if the headset is

turned off, out of range or needs to be “paired”.

Using the Transmitter

Optimum range: up to 30 ft.
