Use Turtle Beach Superhuman Hearing

Turtle Beach continues to manufacture some of the most powerful gaming headsets available. The company can even elevate your gaming experience further with its proprietary Superhuman Hearing, available on several of its newest models. Superhuman Hearing gives you an in-game edge like never before, and this wikiHow article will teach you how to use Turtle Beach Superhuman Hearing in your own gaming adventures.

Steps

What Is Superhuman Hearing?

  1. Hear sounds you might otherwise miss. With Turtle Beach Superhuman Hearing activated, your headset picks up on sounds that you may otherwise never get a chance to hear.
    • The most common sounds elevated by Superhuman Hearing include nearby weapon reloading, enemy footsteps, or vehicles moving in the distance.[1]
  2. Gain a competitive edge. A Turtle Beach study found that Superhuman Hearing users spent 20% more time in-game (i.e. died less) and saw their kill/death ratio lifted by over 40 on popular first-person shooters.
  3. Experience total immersion. Superhuman Hearing's impact is not limited to multiplayer games. With the feature activated, story-driven games offer crisper dialogue and a heightened sense of atmosphere. [2]
    • Note that some users find Superhuman Hearing's attention to fine details to be a bit distracting at times, focusing on lower-end sounds and deemphasizing the sounds you typically expect to hear.

How To Activate Superhuman Hearing

  1. Ensure you have an enabled headset. Superhuman Hearing is available on several different Turtle Beach models, including the popular Stealth 600 and Stealth 700 headsets.
    • For a full list of Turtle Beach headsets enabled with Superhuman Hearing, visit the Turtle Beach website.
  2. Find the Superhuman Hearing button on your headset. The button's location will vary across different headsets, but it is most commonly on the outside of the right earcup.
    • On the Stealth 600s and 700s, the right earcup sports three buttons: a power button, a Bluetooth button, and a Superhuman Hearing button. The Superhuman Hearing button resembles the Turtle Beach logo.[3]
  3. Press the button and play. Activating Superhuman Hearing is as simple as tapping the corresponding button to toggle it on and off. You will notice low or distant sounds are immediately elevated with Superhuman Hearing activated.
    • Because Superhuman Hearing's levels cannot be adjusted, you may opt to switch the feature on and off depending upon your gaming needs.
