What’s in the Box?

The box contains the headset, a USB cable for charging and a manual.

A Closer Look

Final Thoughts

The first thing I noticed on the box of the headset was a big sticker advising me to update the firmware on the headset – so that’s exactly what I did. The whole process was very quick and easy, so make sure you do that before you use it.

The headset is fairly lightweight so you can wear it for extended periods of time without it becoming too uncomfortable.

The foam cushions are also designed to be glasses friendly, so if you wear normal glasses, or even gaming glasses, Turtle Beach say “alleviating pressure and allowing gamers with glasses to play in comfort”. And it works very well!

There is a flip up microphone that is easy to use and is very good quality. If you don’t want to use the mic is can stay tucked away but if you suddenly need to use it you can just flip it down. When it’s flipped up it’s muted automatically so you don’t have to worry about it picking up noise you don’t want to heard. You also don’t need to shout to be heard using the mic – it picks up the sound of your voice very clearly.

The battery life is very good on the Stealth 600, with a full charge lasting around 15 hours – so just remember to put it back on charge when you aren’t using it so that you can play as long as you need to!

There is a setting on this headset called Superhuman Hearing, which is a setting designed to allow you to hear every sound in the game to help give you that competitive edge when playing multiplayer. After all, don’t you want to hear that person creeping up behind you ready to take you out?

The headset itself is wireless and connects effortlessly to your Xbox One with the console performing all the configuration for you.

For a fantastic wireless headset with excellent sound quality at a very affordable price, you should definitely check out the Stealth 600!

The Turtle Beach Ear Force Stealth 600 Headset for Xbox One is available now priced around £89.95, but as usual look around for the best deal.

AC Worldwide announced pre-orders of the Terminator T-800 speaker with Alexa

Early this year AC Worldwide (August 2017) via a Kickstarter campaign announced the original T-800 speaker, now its back with a little change.

The Terminator T-800 speaker is now up for pre-order commitments for the Terminator T-800 speaker.

The T-800 model from AC Worldwide will be designed with attention to detail and clarity. Our T-800 will be Wifi enabled and it will connect to your chosen device for all your audio needs as soon as your phone links to your home/office Broadband.

In addition, the T-800 will have built-in Amazon Alexa for voice control and connection to smart home devices, so you can even use your T-800 in exactly the same way you would use any Alexa product, ask to play your favourite music, remind you of events coming up or even to control your home lighting or heating.(3rd party device required).

The cost of the T-800 Wifi speaker with built-in Amazon Alex will be $399, but we don’t need any money from you right now – just your commitment to buy and own this menacingly beautiful piece of movie memorabilia. The first 50% of the cost will then be required in January when the pre-orders close.

As an added incentive there’s a chance that you’ll actually own the first ever unit because every one that pre-orders will be entered into a draw and the winner of that draw will be the owner of serial Number 1 when he/she receives their delivery.

However none of this will be possible, and no money will be taken if we don’t secure a minimum of 500 pre-orders.

Simply send an email to with the Subject Line: T-800 Terminator Speaker Pre-Order stating your name, address, contact number and email.

ACWorldwide will then contact you early January with regards to the initial payment.

But if you would like something truly spectacular, the exclusive serial numbers 101 and 800 will be available for $800/£600 – just mention it in your email if interested.

MR brings sports data to life like never before – Kindred partners with Zappar

Kindred Futures, has today announces a pioneering exploration with mixed reality (MR) specialists Zappar – looking at how accessible mixed reality will impact the gambling industry.

Zappar, the team which utilise MR technology through its cutting-edge, smartphone-enabled ZapBox, will be working with Kindred Futures to understand how the technology will change the way consumers interact with sporting data.

Together, Kindred Futures and Zappar are exploring the way sports are watched and data is consumed by building prototypes based on high profile sporting matches such as the 2017 Champions League final and T20 cricket between South Africa and England.

Where viewers are currently at the whim of broadcasters or have to trawl through tables of data to help make their sporting decisions, Zappar gives users control in an immersive experience where they can explore the team’s players, with insights into their goals, shots or runs – putting the user at the heart of the data. The two demos, powered by data from Opta, look to give an insight into what the future holds for interacting with sports data, with the user interacting with an extra layer of information on top of reality.

Will Mace, Head of Kindred Futures, commented “Kindred Futures has always been committed to seeking out the most interesting and innovative companies to explore the future of gambling. Our largest brand, Unibet, has the tagline “Luck is no Coincidence” and this exploration with Zappar allows punters to discover and interact with data like never before – leveraging Opta data to provide insights that can help them make more informed decisions. We’re very passionate about ensuring that audiences are given enough data to make sensible gaming decisions and think that our experiment with Zappar is an exciting step in the right direction.”

 

Jeremy Yates from Zappar commented “The main barrier of getting mixed reality to the mass market is the cost of new hardware. There’s an exciting future of data visualization, with mixed reality providing an immersive and engaging way to both views and interact with information. This exploration is all part of our goal of democratising this technology. We’re very excited about partnering with Kindred to see how we can drive innovation and bring the future closer to today.”
