One element that makes a gamer so engrossed with the game play is the close to reality impact of game audio. Headsets are integrated in video gaming consoles to give gaming audio satisfaction, but the question is, are we really satisfied? In my honest opinion, the best game audio experience is made possible through the dedication of a company that promises innovative and high quality audio peripherals specifically made and manufactured for video gaming. Only Turtle Beach is the company that I have in mind.

Quality, professionalism, and integrity — these are significant attributes Turtle Beach exhibits for their users. The company is respectably known for its Audio Advantage® USB and Santa Cruz™ computer soundcards and its Ear Force® headphone line. Since PlayStation 3 is the newest fad among video gamers, Turtle Beach developed a headphone line to maximize the video gaming experience for this console. And so, the recent talk of town is the Ear Force® Px21. Although I don’t own one yet, I had the privilege to try this out from my buddy. It was an amazing experience — I ended up greatly satisfied by the immersive experience, and so I decided to write this Ear Force PX21 review!

It is not the exterior of the Ear Force® Px21 which suggests its superior performance as a gaming headset because it looks similar to the other black headphones. Instead, experience firsthand the brilliance of its features that truly speak of innovation which is the audio performance.

The Ear Force® Px21 is a stereo headset used for two main functions combined: PSN™ chat sound and stereo amplified game audio. It is an intelligent concept to integrate a headphone amplifier and separate the volume control of the chat and game audio to fully concentrate on either of the two. The controls are also accessible, no need to stand up or stop the game for adjustments.

Another thing that I like is how private the sounds produced are unlike other headphones where the person who is a few inches away can hear the sounds from your headphones. With the Ear Force® Px21, it’s just you and your game play — an efficient technique to keep gamers engaged as well. And, although it is purposely designed for PlayStation, it still works well with Xbox LIVE® and a PC or Mac computer. It is indeed a universal headphone for versatile gamers.

Here is the summary of my review:
Audio features and quality: 100% terrific
Price: At $80 each, reasonable. Considering the quality of the product, I can’t complain
System installation: 80%
The wirings can get confusing but the instruction manual is really useful so use it.

So, in conclusion, with Turtle Beach Ear Force® Px21, video gaming will never be the same again and a world full of possibilities is presented to us through their dedication to gaming audio technology innovation.
