Hard plastic and fake leather

Great headset but crappy plastic breaks easily enough

the plastic that hold earcups (the resizeable parts) are made of cheap plastic and will eventually breakI have two problems with this headset

The past two model both have seriously cheap thin plastic that is prone to cracking

The plastic they are constructed with is awful too, and it cracked and broke today just from putting them on my head.

I agree with alot of the people that have had the breaking problem that they are made from cheap plastic they really should have a wire or

The plastic on the edges of the headset is really cheap and easy to break, second pair broken.

Cheap plastic is the only thing holding it together

Too bad they didn't use soft plastic.

With the Pro's I gave this product, at the end of the day, if the product breaks down from normal, everyday usage, at stress points where most, if not all headphone manufacturers know where they lie, and continue to use cheap plastic on a $150 product (MSRP at time of purchase), then I cannot recommend this product to anyone.

Too much money spent for cheap plastic.

The sound is superb, unfortunately the hard plastic extenders that you pull down to fit your head are HARD PLASTIC

either switch to a stronger thicker plastic or use metal.other than that functionality is there

after one year and a month the plastic will be broken happen to me and to my friend

Cheap plastic

Great sound, long charge, but cheap plastic

Oh my what has happened to the quality of TB, I have tried both the elite 800 and this set and have been thoroughly disappointed with the quality, cheap plastic, uncomfortable stiff earmuffs and not near as much customized audio that TB has previously been know for.

For that the adjustable plastic is way too flimsy

What others call light weight, I call crappy plastic

Headset has very weak plastic where it adjusts for size

The main problem is that the small connectors that also serve as adjustments for the ear cuffs is a cheap plastic, even heeding the warnings of people that purchased before me and handling the headset like a newborn didnt help

I would spend a little extra money and find some that are not made of only cheap plastics on the sides.

Plastic is slightly more durable than other similarly priced models, but could be better

The only issue being how brittle the plastic is, but hey

After limited gentle use for 3 years the plastic adjustable insert snapped off

And where it needs strength to stand up to daily use they used cheap brittle plastic

Very cheap plastic

Also, although flexible, the plastic seems a bit cheap and feels like they could snap if extended too far.

ive heard some people say the plastic is cheap, but I've dropped them a few times and it's pretty durable... to people who say they are transmitting a buzzing noise, its probably your mic settings i had the same issue but turned down the volume on the Playstation and it started to sound fone

Great audio but too much plastic

The cheap plastic that other reviewers warn about is a major design flaw

I was extremely careful with the second set but the brittle cheap plastic it is made of broke again.

If you have an adult sized head the repeated flexing these take getting them on and off slowly cracks the plastic

Bad quality plastic for just putting it on your

It is made of cheap cheap plastic

Good 7.1 Surround sound qualityVery comfortable to wearGame and Chat audio have separate volume controlsWireless (with USB dongle)Cons:On my 2nd pair that is starting to break in the same way the 1st pair did: the plastic that telescopes into the top headpiece is cracking due to normal use

The headsets are made of cheap thin plastic that breaks after a few months of normal use.

Biggest problem is the terrible material (cheap plastic) they are made from

It is made of cheap plastic where the headset is adjustable, it just cracks and breaks.

Completely cheap plastic is relied on to press the speakers to your ears

And the plastic doesn't feel the best in my hands, does feel bit more cheap and lower quality

Also, although flexible, the plastic seems a bit cheap and feels like they could snap if extended too far.

THE ADJUSTABLE TRACK IS METAL AND VERY DURABLE AND WILL NOT BREAK LIKE CHEAP PLASTIC

only problem is (like most headsets I get) they are made really small and barely first over my head, and because of that fact it bends the cheap thin plastic that the adjusting bands are made

Like many others have mentioned, the cheap plastic extenders break VERY easily

But then the thin plastic on the side on the left side broke off

The plastic feels very cheap and the ear pads are terrible

Turtle Beach Seven headsets that I've had for over two years now, the extensions/adjustors are reinforced or appear to be made with a more thicker/durable plastic

the plug?UPDATE*** after 16 months mine to are broken from flimsy plastic.. handled with kid gloves as well.. otherwise would HAVE been4 star...

Very low grade cheap plastic

For that the adjustable plastic is way too flimsy

Lasted about 3 months and the cheap plastic broke making then not fit anyone.

The plastic is too weak on the headset & both sides have snapped making them useless

Great sound, long charge, but cheap plastic

quality sound, cheap plastic product

Like others here I have also had the problem of the cheap plastic snapping and no longer supporting the ear cup after very limited use

They're made with cheap plastic which sort of just bends easily and peels open

Too bad they didn't use soft plastic.

The sound quality is good but the headset is made of CHEAP PLASTIC mine were broke within 2 months get the PX4's

Headset's mic and sound is good but is made of cheap plastic that breaks easily.

Good quality headphones but something that all the turtle beaches need is a metal frame inside the plastic or something because every single t-beach I've gotten the plastic cracks and breaks and these where the ones to last the least amount of time I've thrown my other

The sound quality of both the microphone and headphones is superb, but as many other reviewers have noted the headset itself is made of cheap plastic and will absolutely break along the extendable plastic

Only thing I could hope for was a little more durable plastic feel, but I also know there are the pricey premium headphones that will provide that

At the same MSRP I couldnt believe that TB was using such cheap materials (the plastic is CHEAP, and the Faux Leather perforated Earcups are trash) for around the same price as the Nur.

My thought is buy 100 dollar head phones you shouldn't get cheap plastic

Cheap plastic junk, buy ASTRO , or anything else.

The cheap plastic they use in their expensive headphones snapped.

I have a $30 pair of px22's that fit comfortably and the adjusting bands are made of thick strong plastic

The worst however is that the arms that slide into the headband that hold the ear cups are P.O.S. brittle plastic

Yes the plastic feels cheap but doesn't feel like it will break easily

Very cheap plastic

I feel like they should use a stronger plastic.

7.1 surround sound is awesome and battery life is nice but the plastic which the headset is made of feels cheep and it is not comfortable for long time use

I was able to make them last longer by super gluing the broken sections on top of each other for a while, but the plastic ended up breaking again in another part of the adjustable section

Cheap plastic that creaks, volume controls that refuse to work and a clunky usb/optical plug in round the experience out

Like the plastic is not quality

The plastic that holds the headphones on keeps breaking in half

Kept in a drawer when no in use and tonight when I went to put them on, they snapped on the weak plastic slider

The plastic is really cheap.

The plastic itself feels very cheap and brittle and read reviews about the life span being only 5 months

Plastic will not suffice.

Very cheap plastic.

so you end up with hard plastic crushing your ears against your head

but it's just weak plastic

The headset is great, feels comfortable, has a great battery (pushing into 16 hours at times) but it seems like the plastic just doesn't hold up

The plastic on this headset broke one the right ear piece

Mine broke after 10 months of infrequent use: the plastic holding the right speaker assembly just snapped after I picked it up one day

(Once a good position is found it does work flawless).The plastic could feel more sturdy

its build quality is not that bad the plastic is hard and it doesn't feel cheap in any

The only issue is how easy the plastic on the headband breaks.

The way this headset was designed, there are plastic sliders to extend the earphones to fit larger heads, however, the main top plastic part is so

For starters, it's flimsy as

but it's perfect as of now.

The padding could be better as well as it is not that soft nor comfortable.

These lasted a couple months and the headband broke as I was putting them on one day.
