The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 & Stealth 600 wireless headsets have just been announced. Priced at $99 and $149, respectively, this pair of headsets aim to “redefine what gamers should expect from a wireless gaming headset” at these price points. 

Xbox One users will be impressed to hear that Turtle Beach’s new headsets are the first in the world to use Microsoft’s Xbox Wireless technology to connect directly to the console, just like the Xbox Wireless Controller. “No wires, no base station, and no adapter needed. When paired directly to Xbox One, gamers simply need to turn on their headset and start playing.”

These headsets boasts a lot of other features, too. Here’s the complete list:

• Wireless Game & Chat – With Xbox Wireless, gamers on Xbox One can connect their Stealth 700 & 600 directly to the console just like an Xbox Wireless Controller – no wires, no base station, and no adapter needed. On PS4, the included USB transmitter connects the headsets to the console using the latest smart, channel-hopping technology.
• Immersive Surround Sound – On Xbox One the Stealth 700 & 600 are optimized to deliver immersive Windows Sonic for Headphones surround sound to bring your games, movies and music to life.
