On the entertainment side, I took a tour through YouTube, Skype, Groove Music, and even my long-dormant NFL app, and the 420X worked fine with all of the Xbox One's apps I tried. Even so, in-game gun fire is pleasant but, understandably not teeth-chattering while vocal AI chatter is crisp. The headset can be loud (too loud even), but is governed from getting crazy loud, which is expected in a wireless design.

The 420X handles a multiplayer party 'Peggle 2' Duel or party 'N+' match just as easily as 'Titanfall.' The 50mm drivers sit easily under the lightweight design. But with that comes a nice a range of use. The 420X wants to do one thing primarily, that is to be used for Xbox One games and online Xbox One multiplayer sessions that require chat. These EQ settings offer a quick tweak for the user, and I would think that most users could decide if they prefer extra bass or whatnot, by quickly toggling through the four states, and then pretty much leave it alone most of the time.

There's the default Natural state, plus a Bass Boost, Bass + Treble Boost, and Vocal Boost. The only kind of aggressive sound manipulation possible with the 420X's feature set is the 4 EQ settings. In other words, it's easier to locate an audible enemy or objective, like say in ' Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare' or ' Battlefield Hardline.' This favoring by the headset is slight enough that a cinematic presentation of a game's narrative (like the story cutscenes), still comes through without any sense of sound manipulation. The 420X appears to me to be aggressively tuned for a noticeable left or right ear fall off, and the result is that it's easier to isolate and roughly locate spatial sounds in a 3D environment.
That said, the stereo presentation used in a 3D game, while much more likely to exhibit a binary L/R experience, is entirely able to immerse the listener. Personally, I love surround sound headsets, and the difference is major for me. For now, the Xbox One doesn't do its own simulated surround, but that may change. When it comes using the 420X on the Xbox One, the first thing to consider is that the 420X is a stereo headset. In effect, while the 420X is the only fully wireless stereo headset for the Xbox One, it would be difficult conceptually for a competing Xbox One headset to be easier to set up and use. The 420X has some welcome features beyond wireless stereo playback, but the only thing I've omitted here in terms of basic use is charging the headset via micro USB in the right ear cup. (It's so simple my dad could set it up!) The Xbox One will continue to output sound as normal through the HDMI and optical ports, so in my case, I mute or turn down my AVR. No need to mess about in the Xbox One settings. Beyond that, there's plugging in the boom mic in the left ear cup and adjusting the two volume wheels on the back right ear cup. The USB transmitter plugs into one of the USB jacks on the Xbox One (more on that later), and then is automatically assigned to the signed-in profile, leaving the user only to power the headset on by holding the triangular button on the center outside of the right ear cup for a few seconds. Setting up the Stealth 420X is almost a no-brainer as well. The exceptions to the rule are the aforementioned trio of Turtle Beach headsets, and for those looking at a sub $200 price point or else not interested in headset surround sound, the Ear Force Stealth 420X is practically a no-brainer.
This includes wireless headsets that are priced at hundreds of dollars. With the revamped controller, the chat adapter is no longer necessary, and yet to get chat working in the vast majority of headsets means being tethered by cable to the controller. Before the revamped controller was released, nearly all chat for the Xbox One required using some kind of chat adapter hooked into the controller. Microsoft's newest console, the Xbox One, has a few peculiarities. While the Ear Force Stealth 500X and the recently released Elite 800X offer DTS Headphone: X 7.1 surround sound, Turtle Beach's newest, the Ear Force Stealth 420X, is a stereo headset, which makes it both the simplest to set up and the least expensive fully wireless Xbox One headset yet. The company has gone from having the only fully wireless headset for the Xbox One, to having the only three fully wireless headsets on the Xbox One. When it comes to wireless headsets and the Xbox One, there is only one name in the game, and that would be Turtle Beach.
