abunda_amazon_reviews I'm sure it works but have to buy another part to make it work. When reading the question of does this work my XP 510 the answer was YES, it stats that this is compatible with the Turtle Beach Ear Force XP 510 and gives a website for compatibility info, link does not take you directly to said resource. That is most of the truth, what i did not see mentioned was that for this to work you need a male 2.5mm to male 3.5mm cable or a adapter cable for this to work. Now i have to buy a $10 cable for my $40 Headset controller to work with my expensive (at the time) wireless headset. The 9 inch long USB cable is useless for $40 you should also include the 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable to make this a useful product right out of the box.;;Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2017;;3.0 out of 5 stars;;The 9 inch long USB cable is useless for $40 you should also include the 2;;KS;;;The cheaper one loses some features - the more expensive adds some "modes" that don't add anything tanglible. The Xbox one is trash (and useless on new controllers), and the other Mfgs are hard to find or just not better than this. THIS IS HOW ALL XBOX HEADSETS SHOULD WORK. This has 3 levels of "background noise reduction or MIC MODE" to keep your always-on mic from picking up all the clicks and breaths and TV sounds and roommates / spouse / parents talking in the room. SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN XBOX FEATURE ALL ALONG! Also, the dedicated mute toggle is a LIFE SAVER when you want to have a side conversation. Variable Mic Monitoring! Hold the Mute until it beeps - this turns up or down the amount of your own voice you hear in the headset - super helpful for people using noise cancelling headsets, as it makes it sound more natural and it stops you from yelling. On the fly adjustment (if you need it) and no lag or echo. Use the left side up-down to adjust game/chat balance, and the right side is total volume up/down. There are a few EQ modes that can compensate for weaker headsets with bass or treble issues, too. The "superhearing" thing seems like a gimmick - it sounds like it just cuts the bass, so maybe that helps in some games when you need to hear reloads or footsteps - but definitely don't leave it on. Oh! And if you plug your controller into your PC, this still works as your audio device, same features as on Xbox! Very cool.;;Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;This is the one you want!;;Charlie Myers;;;This unit works with any headset I have tried so far and provides mic monitoring plus other great features. I do not own any Turtle Beach headsets. This was something that believe it or not, I could only find two places (both YouTube) that said it would do just that. I made the mistake and bought the Microsoft stereo adapter first but one headset I really like will make room noise almost inaudible and I do not shout but rather talk a lot lower because of it. This little audio controller worth the money. Update... I have had the original for 7 months and it still works. I recently purchased another and another HyperX Cloud headset for my 2nd XB1. I have no complaints so far. Both work with that headset flawlessly.;;Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2016;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Mic monitoring works with any headset;;Pete B;;;Love it! Picked this up in hopes of improving the mic monitoring/side tone on our Xbox One. Made a significant difference compared to the built in mic monitoring. I use it with my HyperX Cloud Alpha headset and my girls use their Plantronics RIG400 sets and we're very pleased. Hold down the lower button (mute I think) for a few seconds and you will hear a single beep in your headphones. That's low. Do it again for two beeps. Medium. Do it one more time for the beeps and that's high and it's great. The super hearing feature seems to just bump the mids and highs and while it's not miraculous it definitely changes things up and depending on the signs in you're game it can be helpful. I have tried it in Fortnite Battle Royale and given the incessant footsteps in that game is almost to much with the super hearing feature on. :) I'm not a fan of TB products in general. They just don't fit, feel, or sound right to me. But this little thing actually works very well and I'll be getting another one.;;Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Finally decent mic monitoring!;;Blazing Pascal;;;One day the audio jack on Xbox one controller stopped working. I did all that I could to revive it but nothing worked. I was about to throw away the controller but that seemed like such a waste of money. Then I thought I’d try an audio adapter since it works for the old controllers that don’t have an auxiliary to start with. I looked into the Xbox version of the adapter and then came across the Turtle Beach ones. I decided to go with this because I liked the extra volume controls it has. The original Xbox adapter doesn’t have those. It arrived in the mail and then my boyfriend stole it from me since his auxiliary broke too. hahaha. He tried it and LOVES it. He likes how easy it is to adjust game sounds vs chat sounds. He also likes the presets it has. He is most crazy about the superhuman hearing. To me it just sounds a little louder like I turned the volume up (I keep my volume at mid-range). My boyfriend keeps his headset volume at max so he says the boost he gets from the superhuman hearing is a life changer. He can hear footsteps that I can’t hear. Pretty cool. I plan on purchasing another one since it doesn’t look like my boyfriend is going to give it back to me. Haha It’s been about 2 weeks and it’s still working perfectly. I’ll update if that changes.;;Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;GREAT solution to a broken audio jack;;L;;;It worked alright but I was not completely impressed. I returned it because it created popping in my headset when I had the volume near high. The volume buttons aren’t easy to find without looking, and there’s no visual representation of volume levels. Mute buttton is too small and hard to find without looking. The eq Settings aren’t very clean and don’t sound too different from one another. The superhuman hearing feature just cranks up gain on the mids and highs so it sounds rather hissy, and bullets are louder, even if they aren’t even close to you. I thought the Plantronics/RIG LX1 is a better piece for my HyperX Cloud Alpha headset. It has better eq Settings, more intuitive controls and I’ll take the aux port on the LX1 to mix in my music over TBs “superhuman hearing” any day.;;Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2018;;2.0 out of 5 stars;;Unless you own a Turtle Beach headset, buy an LX1.;;Dustin J
