Turtle Beach Xbox Chat Adapter gets the hands-on treatment, admirably untethers talkative gamers

Back during E3, Turtle Beach denounced the wire-ridding Xbox 360 Bluetooth Chat Adapter bundled with the XP500 headset (a re-badged PX5), though there were no accounts of how the dongle performed. That’s right away altered interjection to Joystiq, who’ve gotten their propitious mitts upon the singular of 10 prototypes. Spoiler: they’re unequivocally enjoying the small guy. Voice peculiarity was reported as being “excellent” as well as the device simply interconnected with headsets. There’s no irritating charging wire compulsory possibly as the XBA juices off the controller, though usually time will discuss it how that impacts battery life. The large gift critics found was that the singular button, that operates as the muting / pairing as well as upon / off switch, was oft-engaged incidentally — patently not preferred for newb trash-talking. Sure, it’s not all seamless similar to Tritton’s central digs, though Xbox aficionados should positively be stoked about shortly carrying options to embankment those discuss cables for good.
