Turtle Beach Stealth 700 headset can turn on your Xbox One

Turtle Beach announced its Stealth 700 wireless headset for Xbox One consoles today. The headset is the first to use Microsoft’s Xbox Wireless technology to connect directly to the console, just as a wireless controller does.

The advantage is that you can press a power button on the headset to turn on the console, and the headset can immediately sync with the Xbox One and compatible Windows 10 PCs. Both the Stealth 700 and lower-priced Stealth 600 are optimized for Windows Sonic surround sound. With the direct connection to the console, you don’t need wires, a base station, or an adapter on the Xbox One. (You may need an adapter for Windows).
