Turtle Beach Audio Hub for Android lets console and PC gamers take advanced headset customization on the road with mobile controls that let you adjust EQ settings, toggle audio enhancements, and monitor battery life – no computer required.
What You Get When Installing
The app is a wireless command center for various Turtle Beach headsets. These include newer models like the Stealth Pro, Stealth 700 Gen 2 and Gen 2 MAX for Xbox and PlayStation. Older models like the Elite Pro 2 and Scout Air are also compatible. Once being connected, you can create custom audio equalizer settings, select from the included EQ presets, and turn on Superhuman Hearing to amplify sound effects like footsteps and reloads. You’ll also find the control for Active Noise Cancellation, plus some microphone monitoring adjustments that help you hear your voice during gameplay. With the app, your battery status is checked in real time and all your settings are transferred to the headset itself to optimize the experience «gaming audio».
The beauty of this «headset companion app»? It’s entirely free. There are no in-app purchases, ads, or paywalls. The moment you pair up your device, every tool for “gaming audio optimization” becomes available. It does not monitor the user’s activities, does not collect user data, and does not share anything with anyone. The multi-platform headset compatibility benefits gamers who use surround sound settings the most. This is because, in the past, it was a hidden option in PC software or console menus.
Be aware of the connection problem
However customer complaints are about its connectivity issues which make the app frustrating to use. Many people complain in their reviews that it has pairing issues. The app often gets stuck on connecting to headset despite the fact that Bluetooth connects well with other devices. Various people in the community have reported that connection requires “a certain order” of steps: the app often requires you to re-pair every time you open it. Some users have noticed that features like the microphone gate are reset at random and they must re-adjust them while using the app.
The users also criticized the headset battery monitoring. Most reviewers complained that the app is not detecting their hardware at all. The desktop version is the only way to install firmware updates. You can not do this with the mobile app. Furthermore, headsets are unable to manage headset firmware. This means that the mobile app does not have management capabilities. Due to these technical issues, users recommend using PC or Mac application instead of the Android version to enable reliable ‘wireless headset control’.
Who Should Bother Downloading
The Turtle Beach Audio Hub is aimed to be used by gamers who use compatible headsets, who would like quick access to audio controls away from their gaming setup. When it works, the app does provide real value but only if you are someone who uses the headset on the go or likes to tweak EQ profiles from your phone before a session. The free pricing and the lack of data collection make it completely safe to try it the first time. But the reality? Connectivity problems do not occur from time-to-time. They are consistent in multiple reviews. If a user can deal with pairing sequences and occasional resets, the ease of use of mobile customization will be worth it. If you are someone who prefers reliable control over your gaming audio, then better to consider Turtle Beach desktop software or other brand alternatives as they offer a stable companion app. While the application promises to deliver on its features, you are not going to be able to get connected to your headset.
