Turtle Beach XO Three

Top Pro

Neutral sound

The XO Three sounds pretty balanced, which is quite unusual for budget gaming headsets, which tend to be bass heavy. The bass is not overpowering, the mids sound natural while the highs are slightly recessed. The XO Three sounds pretty laid back, so you get a decent amount of detail, and okay bass punch, without the low-end muddying up the overall sound. As a result, explosions don’t sound very powerful, yet you’ll get to hear high-pitched sound effects, in-game dialogue and voice chats easily. See More

Top Con

Surround sound improvement is not substantial

While the Windows Sonic surround option does add a surround sound feel, the width of the sound does not drastically increase. You may find that the audio is not as immersive as you expected it to be. See More

Type:On/Over-Ears

Top Pro

Good build quality

These XO Three should be able to withstand normal everyday use with no problems whatsoever. While the headset is made of plastic, the headset does not make a lot of unnecessary creaks and flex, which is great for a budget headset. See More

Top Con

The headset may sound unexciting

The neutral sound signature may make the audio sound quite boring. Explosions won’t sound very powerful, and some game audio details won’t be easily heard. See More

Top Pro

Decent sound, build quality and surround sound at a budget price

The XO Three is an affordable headset, but still offers a decent feature set. You get a neutral sounding headset with Windows Sonic surround. The mic produces clear audio while the build quality is pretty good despite the all-plastic build. This is a great choice for those who want a dedicated gaming headset for their Xbox One without spending a lot of money. See More

Top Pro

Windows Sonic enhances immersion and bass response

The XO Three’s audio output can sound more immersive with Windows Sonic activated. This is Microsoft’s surround sound tech for the Xbox One, so you’ll get a wider soundstage with improved sound separation and directional audio. The Windows Sonic feature also has the added benefit of slightly boosting the bass so explosions, gunshots and low-pitched sound effects will get added punch. See More

Top Pro

Good microphone audio quality

Your voice chats will sound clear with this headset. Despite the affordable price, the XO Three’s mic actually produces clear and crisp audio, with good body. Your voice won’t sound tinny, yet should also cut through in-game audio pretty well. See More
