The XP Seven comes pre-loaded with 8 Game Presets, 8 Chat Presets and 8 Speaker Presets, each tailored to meet specific scenarios.

Through the use of Turtle Beach's Advanced Sound Editor, every preset can be modified to suit your specific needs. If you need to bring out the high tones slightly more for a specific game but do not want to compromise on the lows, it is as simple as increasing a slider, clicking Save and jumping back into the game.
