[h1]The Turtle Beach PX5 Headset Will Let You Take Phone Calls While Playing Black Ops[/h1]

How many times have you missed a call because you were busy kicking **$ in Black Ops, Halo or Killzone?  Well, with Turtle Beach’s new gaming headset – that won’t be an issue.

RipTen wandered over to the Turtle Beach booth at CES today to get a better look at their new flagship headset and find out what all the fuss was about.

As it turns out, there’s plenty of reason for all the fuss.

Not only is this new wireless 7.1 dolby surround headset awesome for gaming on both the PS3 and 360 – but it has features that no other headset has ever dreamed of.  The most interesting of which is the ability to pair the headset with devices like your phone and Mp3 player.  Once the devices are paired they will integrate seamlessly with the sound.  Your in game sound will fade out as your phone/mp3 audio fades in just as it would in a Bluetooth enabled car stereo system.  When you hang up the call – you’re in game sound comes right back and you’re back in the action.  Yah – it’s pretty cool.

Another cool feature is the ability to widen or narrow the sound field to focus on difficult to hear sounds like in-game footsteps or someone reloading in the distance.  That sounds kind of cheap – but hell, if you’ve got a $250 headset you should have an edge.

The PX5 will also allow you to change (Morph) your voice.  This will come in handy during hot in-game cyborz for sure.

Here’s the rest of the goods on the Ear Force PX5 from Turtle Beach:

Although optimized for PS3 and Xbox 360 gaming, the PX5 is also perfect for watching movies with its large, deep, fabric cushions, soft headband, and twist cups designed for resting the headset on your shoulders. Key features and user benefits of the Turtle Beach Ear Force PX5 include:

·         Customizable Presets: Configure up to 18 personalized presets to optimize game, chat, and microphone audio for different gaming situations.

·         Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound: Immersive 360 degree audio lets you hear the direction of every sound as if you were playing with speakers all around you.

·         Digital RF Wireless Game Sound: Uncompressed wireless digital audio signal delivers CD-quality game sound that rivals professional grade wired headphones.

·         Voice morphing: Disguise your voice by changing the sound from deep lows to screeching highs.

·         Dual-pairing Bluetooth for Wireless Chat: Chat wirelessly on the Playstation Network, answer mobile phone calls or listen to streaming music from a digital music player while gaming.

·         Dynamic Chat Boost: Chat level increases automatically as the game volume gets louder, so you can always hear the voices of other players.

·         Microphone Monitoring: Lets you hear your voice in the headset, so you won’t need to shout to hear yourself.

·         Sonic Silencers: Enjoy total silence by eliminating ambient noise pickup on your mic and cutting background noise from PSN or XBOX LIVE chat sound.

·         Sonic Lens[emoji]8482[/emoji] with Sound Field Expander: Widen or narrow the sound field to focus on difficult to hear audio cues like footsteps sneaking up on you or the clicks of someone reloading in the distance.

·         Intuitive Voice Prompts: A real voice announces critical headset status conditions, such a low battery, preset numbers and more.

·         Ear Guard with Blast Limiter: Limit the intensity of deafening games sounds such as explosions and gunfire to reduce ear fatigue during long gaming sessions.

·         PS3 and XBOX 360 Compatible: Delivers the ultimate gaming experience with PS3 and XBOX 360 consoles.

Of course all this awesome will come with a price.  The Turtle Beach Ear Force PX5 Gaming Headset will be available in Spring 2011  (TB says probably April) for $249.95 – Is it worth that much?  I’d say so.

Here’s a picture of the PX5 at TB’s CES booth:

i really can't stomach 1st person shooters, but this looks mean with the new move machine gun.

ehhh...might cop.

 

[Bad Religion]

It'll be a cold day in hell before I buy Move.
I tried it for a few hours, and yea it is fun, but just not for me.

 

[mr j 858]

I've bought the show each year since it's been on PS3 and I can honestly say it's the one sports game I see big improvements each year, but I don't know if I'm going to cop it this year.

 

[jrp44]

I'm definitely gonna cop it

 

[mr j 858]

 

[air234ever]

Isn't Metal Gear Rising suppose to be releasing this year?

 

at 360's list of exclusives.

^ The poor Wii, I don't care the Wii is still fun as hell

. The Wii's exclusives IMO is wayyy better than 360's, and that's just because of Zelda and Mario sports~

 

[noskey]

So many games I feel the need to buy this year 

Killzone, LA Noire, Uncharted and Mass Effect are copped without question.

 

[joe billionaire]

those 2 360 exclusives will be epic tho (since gun loco was cancelled?)

looking forward to uncharted,killzone3...thats about it i need killzone 2 again

 

[fourfiftyeight]

 I went ahead and jailbroke my PS3 on 3.55(hopefully sony doesn't pull a M$)
So far so good

Both of the backup managers I try today didn't work, there should be some releasing later today that will work
there is a method that works but needs some level of editing
Still wanting for a dual-boot with Linux,though
shoutouts to geohot ,dude breaking everything

 

[Bad Religion]

Fingers crossed for a few good JRPG's.
Wii seems to be getting all of them at this point.

I very much doubt Versus is coming out this year.

 

[supremeape]

glad to see all the ps3 games coming out this year.

Kind sucks a bit though because i have about 7 games on backlog

Good new
Want to play kingdom hearts on my psp go

 

[sonoftony]

i need to get my ps3 fixed before KZ3 is out

 

[Moderngz]

KZ3 looks ill!!!

 

[andrew630]

Here's my situation:
My PS3 got the YLOD, I couldn't fix it and decided against sending it to Sony for $150 so I bought a brand new PS3 Slim 160GB.

1st question:
Is it possible to extract the save files from my old PS3 HD and transfer it into my slim?
Here are my ideas, please shoot them down if they are not possible:
1.) Connecting the PS3 phat HD to the computer and drag and drop.
2.) Insert the PS3 phat HD into another working PS3 phat and back it up into an external HD.

2nd question:
If it is impossible, how can I wipe off my account data on my old HD?

Thanks!

No Versus this year for the states.

I'm pretty sure FF: Type-0 is a 3Dds remake of FF1 (yeah another FF 1 remake

)

FF 13-2 might make it out by Q4

Good looks, Hybrid. I wondering if the amazing success that was FFXIV will change SE's release schedule...
