AS GAMERS spend more time on portable devices, the need for a versatile headset is greater than ever. Whether they’re on their desktop PC
chatting with friends and playing online, watching a movie on the train using a tablet, or even answering a phone call, having a single unit that can do all three is certainly an attractive proposition. Turtle Beach’s new universal headset, the Z22, is exactly that. It features an inline amplifier that improves audio with innovations like Dynamic Chat Boost,
Mic Monitoring and separate game and chat volume controls. Disconnect it from the inline amp and it can be used with smart phones, tablets and more. With a price tag of £79.99, users are getting a lot of value. The Z22 has adjustable bass and treble
levels, and is USB-powered, so there’s no need for AC adapters or batteries. It features branding from gaming tournament firm Major League Gaming too, adding extra appeal, especially with serious and pro gamers. Turtle Beach is planning a lot of
marketing activity in the run up to Christmas, and the Z22 will be heavily pushed alongside Turtle Beach’s Call of Duty and licensed Microsoft products. The Z22 shows Turtle Beach’s dedication to the PC gaming market as well as to the growing sector for tablets and other portable devices. It’s available from September.

LIKE THE Z22, the Ear Force Z Seven headset is Major League Gaming branded and also works with mobile devices – but that’s where the similarities between the two end. As arguably Turtle Beach’s most
premium headset, the Z Seven is aimed at elite esports players and those seeking a professional audio gaming experience for PC and Mac. It taps into the vibrant esports sector
which has grown massively in recent years, with global tournaments offering prize pools of more than $1 million and

attracting the best game players across the world. The Ear Force Z Seven boasts 50mm
speakers, USB Surround Sound and a fully programmable digital signal processor (DSP), giving gamers “the most immersive audio experience possible on a PC”. The Surround Sound angles can also be tweaked to satisfy the user’s desired personal preference. The programmable DSP allows gamers
Unlike the Z22, the Z Seven is pro-focused
to personalise their audio levels, The look and feel of the Z Seven can be customised using its removable mic boom and interchangeable speaker plates. For tournament players, the Audio Control Unit (ACU) is compatible with the Turtle Beach TM1 Tournament Mixer, letting teams chat together. Audio presets let users hear sound cues that’d usually be missed at the press
of a button, whether it’s tyres screeching or the sound of unseen footsteps in the distance, helping gamers to gain a competitive advantage. Presets can be downloaded, managed and created using the Advanced Sound Editor. There’s also an auxiliary line input for use with digital music players, portable game consoles or mobile phones, which works by connecting an accompanying 4- pole 3.5mm plug into the headset’s breakaway cable. The Z Seven has two operating modes – Headset Mode with nine game presets and Speaker Mode for use with external speakers. Although the Z Seven launched earlier
this year, it’s also benefiting from Turtle Beach’s Q4 marketing activity, ensuring that it’s at front of gamers’ minds during the lucrative Christmas period. The Ear Force Z Seven is available to order now and is priced at £229.
