Please Help - Headset question - XBOX One and PC compatibility/switching - TB XP Seven?

Not all of the Turtle Beach headsets are compatible with the X1. You might not have a compatible headset. Compatible headsets are XP510, EarForce XP Seven's, XP400, & X42. If you don't have one of those it's not going to work.

You're lucky in the sense that you got the TB Seven as it's forwards compatible when you get the cable. I just want an entry level set similar to the X12 or even just a Wireless headset remake.

If you're set on TB's wait until they release their MLG line.

I'm guessing this is the start? I use the XP500 because of the 7.1. Looks like these are only 5.1. Unless I'm missing something?

IRB, I'm really not trying to offend anyone here, but if my question was that simple then why would I use somewhere near 300 words to ask it? Therefore, there's more underlying my question than a textbook definition as things are never simple.

The word "stereo" applies to the majority of gaming headsets, but all of those headsets are capable of producing simulated surround sound due to the way they receive the translated signals from the Xbox. (Surround Sound Processors/ RF Transmitters. broken
record here.)

For Example,

Turtle Beach was convinced that their XO Seven headset would provide Surround Sound. Before they were forced to change it their website said of the XO Seven, “Be surrounded. Cinematic Surround Sound for your
games and entertainment.” The XO Seven is a Stereo Headset capable of producing simulated surround sound. But never once, even now, does Turtle Beach describe this headset with the word "stereo." This is because the word "stereo" can be misleading,
and would not sell. Yet, Microsoft uses the word "stereo" to describe the piece of hardware that the TB XO Seven is supposed to be paired with. The result is confusion because those two never reconcile.

Surround Sound TB XO Seven + Stereo Headset Adapter = ?

There's not a lot of clarity with that is there?
