    • Simple Gaming Headset That Works Across Several Systems
Color: Red / Blue
I bought this because I wanted a basic wired gaming headset that could work with more than one system without spending a lot. The sound is good for gaming, and the 40mm speakers are clear enough for hearing voices, game effects, and directional sounds. The removable mic is also convenient when I just want to use the headset for listening. I like that it uses a standard 3.5mm connection because I can move it between Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and other devices pretty easily. It’s also lightweight, so it doesn’t feel too heavy during longer gaming sessions. The main downside is that the build feels more basic than higher-end headsets, and the ear cushions aren’t the most plush if you wear them for hours at a time. Overall, it’s a solid inexpensive headset for casual gaming and a good choice if you want something simple that works with several different systems. ... show more

    • Excellent Value - For Entry-Level Gaming Headset
Color: Black / Green
For this price point, I can't say anything less than 5 stars for this headset. I was originally going to go with a different product until seeing that the Ear Force Recon 50(X) series, was to release on 9/25/15. I decided to give it a try, and figured why not. For $40 it seemed like a steal! For the most part, it is a steal. PROS: --The headset itself is good looking, at first I thought the green would be a little off-putting compared to the color of my other accessories and peripherals, but it actually looks really great. Of course, this part is subjective. --Very lightweight. This thing only weighs a few ounces, and other than the light sensation of the cups on your ears, you could not even know you have it on. --The mic is detachable, which is awesome. --Further, the mic sounds great. It picks up my voice with a pretty good clarity for an entry-level gaming headset, and the attached covering of the mic essentially works as a pop filter. In fact, I have a fan blowing right by me and it manages to cancel the vast majority of the wind rushing into it from the fan. Solid mic. --The sound is pretty good. Bass and highs are on par for this price point, with the mids being the weakest link of the sound stage. For music and movies it is probably not the best choice, although it would still work more than adequately for those uses. Gaming is where it really shines, and the sound quality is more than good enough for my gaming needs. Footsteps are defined, gunshots and explosions sound great, and voices and dialog sound just fine. --Adaptability and Connectivity: It connects to the Xbox One controller that has the 3.5mm plug-in, and works on any Xbox One controller with the Turtle Beach or Microsoft headset adapter. My controller has the plug directly on it, so it works flawlessly without the need of an adapter. Further, it includes an adapter to change the mic/headphones to two separate plugs and I tested it on my PC and it works great for both sound and mic as well. Even though it is marketed as an Xbox One headset, it works just fine on PC and my iPhone. I don't have a PS4 to try it on, but I would imagine it would work just fine. CONS: --Like mentioned above, the sound is pretty much on par. Nothing special and certainly doesn't blow your mind with audio fidelity. However for this price range I can't imagine it gets much better. Mids could be a bit better with frequency range. --The cord is rather short. Granted, this model is targeted specifically towards the Xbox One, so plugging it into the controller with the cord length is more than enough, and nice because you don't have a huge bundle of cord on your lap when it is plugged into your controller. However, for use with a PC or other device you might need to purchase a 4 pole 3.5mm extension cable to make it a bit longer. I managed to find several on Amazon for a few bucks, so if this is a problem for you I would recommend going the extension cable route instead of disregarding this headset. OVERALL: I rated 5, but would probably give closer to a 4.5. For $40 (current price at time of writing, the day this headset has been released), it is a great deal. I am very happy with it, and use it as my main headset for my Xbox now, and a backup for my PC. Very comfortable, lightweight, sound is more than adequate in terms of quality, and it works with a multitude of devices. For gaming, it is just an all-around great entry-level headset. ... show more

    • It works. It's audible. Not the absolute best, but it's decent
Color: Black / Green
The headset itself is a little small. I don't have a giant head and I have to pull out the ear cups completely out to fit and it barely fits. Snug headset but not painful on ears. The band on top of the head isn't nearly as cushy as I would hope, and it comes down at a strange angle (near the back, not the top). The audio seems fine. Bass is good. The high ends seem a bit duller than i'm used to with previous headphones. Cancels noise fairly well. Excellent volume control and output. I don't use the mic portion yet. ... show more

    • Amazing for the money. Absolutely LOVE these!
Color: Black / Blue
I'm a HUGE fan of "low-end" turtle beach headsets, and I bought these to replace an aging pair of Ear Force PLa's that had served me faithfully for a long time (and still function very well, albeit thanks to a ton of tape work on damage I caused myself stupidly). Considering I paid only ten dollars more for these, the difference is staggering. As others note, they're not a top end headset, but for $40, do you really expect that? Sound is clear and crisp. Mic is clear and loud, without being overly sensitive (and the windscreen performs very well), and connects/disconnects easily... I'm actually using Dragon to type this with the mic in my laptops mic port! Some complain that the mic is inflexible, but I haven't found a position yet that it won't accept and stay with. I do, however, wish they had used the jacketing from the PLa line (ribbed, semi-metallic covering that allowed for total freedom of position) instead of the semi-hard, plastic-feeling overmold on this one. Leather-feel ear cups are VERY well designed and generously padded, they feel very natural on my head and surround my ear with an almost hermetic seal... pressing on the sides of the cups while wearing them yields a noticeable increase in pressure in my ears (you probably shouldn't do this). Entire system is very light (due in part to plastic construction, which doesn't come off feeling as "cheap" as other plastic headsets). At 4ft, the cord doesn't give a ton of room, but it was designed to be used with a console controller audio jack, so it doesn't need it... but for use with an mp3 player or laptop, it's great for those that don't need the extra length getting in the way. Some cons: In-line volume/mic control is small and hard to grasp (almost too smooth), and in turn, the volume control knob is very narrow and set deeply in the control box. When you do locate the volume blindly, it's somewhat difficult to roll, but I'm going to assume it will loosen in time. I would suggest moving it closer to the wire's splitter to make it easier to locate blindly, but it's a personal preference some may disagree with. The mic only inserts into the headset in one direction, having a cut out on the mic itself that must be aligned with a tab on the mic jack. It's difficult, though not impossible, to insert it while wearing the headset, so I suggest you choose in or out before you begin using them. I see no reason why this design had to be implemented, and hope future models will omit it. The connecting band has very little in the way of padding across the top of your head. It's not only a very small fill, but it's the same low density, very soft foam used in the ear cups, making it almost ineffective. It's not uncomfortable once you get the fit right for your head (though mine is shaved, your mileage may vary), but it still seems no thought at all went into this design point. Increasing the fill or using a higher density foam could fix this in future models. Each ear cup is connected to one half of the wire, which I personally don't enjoy the feel of, though its double connection design does prevent a lot of twisting that could lead to a single wire design pulling out of it's grommet. The wire(s) itself is very soft and flexible, which while offering comfort, I'm afraid would be easily abraded or pinched. All in all, you would be hard pressed to find another headset that offers more or performs better at or near this price point...it may even be an impossibility. Though PLa's are cheaper and more than adequate, for any looking for an entrance point into the headset market, these are without a doubt the only headset I will ever recommend again. If you need higher performance, just move up the price scale in the turtle beach line, each offering will blow you away. ... show more

    • Very Great
Color: Black / Red
It fit my head, but there is no adjustment. I am a female. No echoing which is the reason why i bought very good quality! It is wired though might be a bit short wire if thats a problem for some people but for me it is perfect! Detachable microphone!

    • Solid Headset! Great Price!
Color: Black / Green
We've purchased this headset a few times over the years. It's a good, solid headset for the price, and durable enough for younger users. We are a family of gamers, and we've owned all sorts of more expensive headsets as well, but for some reason even the most expensive ones haven't lasted as long. It's simple, comfortable and you cannot go wrong with Turtle Beach. ... show more

    • Do you like pain? Forget the corset...
Color: Black / Green
Do you like pain? Forget the corset and buy this headset! In all fairness, this headset is actually better than decent. The sound is clear (almost always) and the mic seems to work well...well, well enough so that whoever is in your party is not constantly pestering you to repeat what you said (i.e., "Help! I was screwing around and accidentally attacked a guard! I need a soul gem, lest I am forced to respawn at a wayshrine!"). As long as you keep the mic somewhere in the vicinity of your mouth, and the people in your party don't have cotton in their ears, they'll be able to hear you quite well. That said... After spending an hour and a half with this monstrosity attached to my fairly petite and feminine skull, I found myself twisting and turning the large, plastic, headcovering-of-doom in an effort to gain some much needed relief. Unfortunately, unlike my quest to find four stupid miners in a cave, I was unsuccessful (truthfully, I was unsuccessful on both counts, but that is hardly the point right now, is it?). The point is that, the following day, I was nursing a headache that left me feeling like a dragon had used the top of my head for a drum. I assumed it had to be a fluke, until I repeated the process the following night (I'm stubborn that way). After attempting increasing ludicrous solutions to the pain this hell-spawned headset caused me (imagine being so desperate that, caring less how ridiculous you look, you fold a silk pillowcase into a ball and place it ever so gently between your head and the top of the headset!), I finally came to the conclusion that the headset was, without a doubt, the source of my pain. Despite the misery heaped upon my poor Nord soul, I decided to give this headset three stars, mainly due to the quality of the sound and the mic. If you have a head that is of a different size, or even if you just enjoy having a constant, nagging pain on the top of your head, you might love this headset. I, however, feel the unquenchable desire to take a blacksmith's hammer to this thing, turn it into a pile of dust, and order something a bit more comfortable! ... show more
