TL;DR: It's good stuff, works with the XSX just fine, and absolutely worth the money. If you're looking for a headset controller, I recommend this one. I've been using it for a bit over a month now and am completely satisfied.
More details:
I got tired of sifting through multiple menus to adjust chat balance and volume so I decided to pick up one of these. I was cautiously optimistic since even though the product description and Turtle Beach's web site say it works with the Xbox Series X, there were reports that it doesn't work with the Xbox Series X controller.
As it turns out, I didn't need to worry about it. It works flawlessly with both my Xbox One S and Xbox Series X controllers on the Series X.
First, I'll say I really had zero interest in the "Superhuman Hearing" feature but I tried it out anyway. It's really just an EQ to boost mid to upper-mid range frequencies (from what I can tell). That kind of thing doesn't really help much for what I play so I haven't used it past the initial test.
Similarly, the other EQ presets don't do much for me. The headset I'm using with it is pretty good already so doing things with an EQ isn't really necessary. For what it's worth, they don't sound bad. I just don't need them.
Now, the killer app here is the mic monitoring and background noise filters. My headset is a completely over-the-ear thing and lets in very little outside noise so having the mic monitoring helps a lot with talking at the right volume, and it's very clean sounding.
There aren't many downsides to this but there could be a couple of small improvements:
It can sometimes be hard to adjust the chat / game mix and volume without looking down at the controller due to the stiffness of the buttons and how you have to press in relatively specific locations to activate them. This is really only a tiny nitpick and it's still worlds better than digging through menus on-screen. I also expect that with time, the buttons will soften up a little and muscle memory will kick in, making it easier.
The other thing is I wish the mute button light stayed on solid. As it is, when you activate the mute button, its red light slowly fades in and out. A couple of times I've muted myself and forgot about it because when I looked down to pick up the controller, the light was off. Again, this is a really tiny thing and not enough to dock points for.

First, it is truly an amazing product. Absolute game changer (no pun intended). I have been using this device for a little over a month.
So, even though I have a 7.1 surround sound headset with a mic, due to compatibility issues with my Xbox controller I was unable to use the Mic. After reading reviews about the turtlebay audio controller I bought two so my partner and I can game.
I saw some comments regarding the packaging. I didn't find any issues with it. The device comes with comprehensive instructions as well.
It is very easy to install, just plug it in to the Xbox controller , and plug the aux jack of your headset to the devise. There is no external software to run. As I mentioned, I have fantastic headset, but due to compatibility issues I cannot use the headset to it's fullest potential. The turtlebay audio devise has a button (among many buttons) where you can enhance the sounds within the game enabling you to achieve the sound quality that you want - which I think is brilliant. You can adjust the sound setting with the buttons on the device itself.
There is a very tiny bug where sometimes the Mic doesn't work and you have to unplug everything and assemble everything back to get it work. Now, I don't know if this is a fault with the devise or with Overwatch (the game) itself. Based on comments, I know overwatch has been having Mic issues for consol players. At the beginning for a couple of weeks, my partner and I can to unplug everything, reassemble, and go in to the consol sound settings (there was nothing to change, but we had to select the same settings - a bit like restarting your PC when something is wrong). Sometimes, my partner can hear me, but I can't hear her, vice versa. Nothing that can't be fixed.
Nevertheless, I am really happy that finally I can use my Mic. If you are willing to overlook some of the small bugs, which might not even be the fault of Turtlebay, I highly recommend this device.
PS: delivery time was super quick too. I think it was 4 day. (I live in the UAE).
Feel free to ask me any questions, if you feel I haven't covered anything.
