Now, don’t get us wrong, you’re not going to get a world-class surround sound experience with vibrating earcups (that one is a couple entries down), but you are getting a solid stereo gaming headset that works across several platforms. The base station is much more than a DAC, it's a charging, EQ fiddling, multi-platform connecting beast. To start off, your Music Volume should be less than 25% since, otherwise, it is bound to cloud your master volume. You play in a warmer climate: The leatherette cushioning on each side is particularly warm, and heats up during use. However, we pricked our ears at the depth of soundtracks and the richness of everything Wolfenstein's artillery booms.

You're also getting game and voice balance controls on the side of the headset to allow you to easily adjust while gaming. Features: Straight out the box we were greeted with a whole host of additional kit to truly help the Nova Pro shine. Never miss a footstep with high-quality speakers that keep you in the thick of the action and a high-sensitivity microphone to stay in constant communication with your duo or squad.

The Maxwell does prioritize its audio over extra features, though - so there's no active noise cancellation or dual connectivity here.

Get ready to pick up the best Fortnite headset preparation for whatever Chapter 2 Season 2 throws at you on February 20. In Fortnite, this replaces the need for players to use the Switch’s original mobile device and app-based voice chat system, making it easier to communicate with their squad through a Turtle Beach headset. The headset does have an AUX cable to plug into your phone if it has a jack, but then you won’t be able to hear the game sounds from your TV.We also review speakers, power banks, chargers and other gadgets essential to your on-the-go lifestyle. Battery is everything: If you don't want to think about plugging in your headset a few hours before a session, this massive 300 hour charge is going to see you right. To get the negatives out of the way: yes, we found the headband a little uncomfortable after long sessions, but the time it takes for it to dig in exceeds our tolerance threshold for being demolished by strangers with Hunting Rifles anyway—so no biggie here.
