Turtle beach xla need help

Hey there nad069,

Since this is a 3rd party headset, we don't have all of the best troubleshooting steps to try. However, Turtle Beach does have a support page

HERE with some steps to try. Give it a shot and see if it helps!

The cheapest new headset by Turtle Beach is the XLa at $29.95

I`m sure that if you scour Ebay you will be able to pick up a 2nd hand headset for $20 quite easily.

Be better with the XLa as they are amplified.

Personally I use X11`s which are fantastic. That model was recently replaced with the updated X12`s.

People typically go with turtle beach, because they specifically make them for 360's, and PS3s.

The Turtle Beach XLa is the $30 cheaper version ->

You can also find $30-40 refurbished X11's, and X12's on occasion.

I would be cautious on spending more than you can afford on headset though, as typically gaming headsets do not last over 6 months, and it can be difficult to get them replaced. I went through ~6 turtle beach headsets (most being free replacements). Eventually
I got fed up with cheap microsoft mics and turtle beach, and currently have a gamescon 780, and simply chat with friends via skype.

I use the Turtle Beach XLA's £25 (cheapest turtle beach I've ever seen lol)- It was a 360 headset, but I bought the adapter thing for the Xbox One - Power it from the one (via USB) and plug it in to the headphone port on my tv meaning that if the xbox one
is on 'Instant On' mode the headset will still work for my 360 & when watching tv. One thing to bare in mind though is that my adapter cable went faulty and I went to change it at the store they couldn't replace it as they had replaced so many that they were
out of stock..... :-( Its one of those silly flat cables, so i guess having your headset plugged in and it hanging down will eventually make it faulty. The XLA is a good solid headset though and I've had no complaints - just a bad design on the adapter cable,
I even tried to replace it myself at maplin but its a cable specific to the xbox one so the only way to replace it is with the components of the cable and a soldering kit.....
