Reviews around price (4.32 of 5)

  • Reasonably comfortable (a little tight), good sound, great price.
  • They could use some noise cancelling but for the price it's great.
  • I've had it for 2 months and it works well, no defects, good quality headset for a cheap price.
  • Not a bad price either compared to some of the other headsets out there.
  • I bought these as a gift, and they are pretty well made for the decently cheap price tag.

  • My friends have no complaints with microphone issues on my Xbox one S

Reviews around plastic (2.28 of 5)

  • My friends have no complaints with microphone issues on my Xbox one S
  • They have a very comfortable feel on your ears as well as on your head
  • Small for an adult and the hard plastic on top of arch gets uncomfortable after a bit
  • Seriously it is only like 1/8 inch(3.18 mm for you metric types) thick if that, it takes no effort at all to squeeze it so your finger is in contact with the hard plastic of the headband
  • The cheap plastic will break easy, the sound quality is not good at all, average at best.

Reviews around wire (2.04 of 5)

  • I also recommend these because the wires going into two ear cups instead of one don't break as easy as as the one wire running across the whole headset and having to pry open the headset on the whole thing just to see where the thing broke
  • For being Turtle Beach the wires break down too easy and cause interference
  • Bluetooth, wired was just fine with me, and they work and sound great.
  • Worked great untill after about 1 month of heavy use the aux jack is still in tacked but the wires inside are loose or something of some sort when i have the jack plugged it numorously bugs back and forth and comes with a static sound everyone becomes annoyed of my mic and mutes me my friend got the same head set from gamestop same price and never has had an issue i dont know if its amazon getting rejected products or not but was not satisfied at all
  • Mic has good sensitivity and it seems like they upgraded the mic wire on this.

Reviews around month (1.78 of 5)

  • Less than a month after purchase, the mic stopped working.
  • So here we are just over 2 months and now the Mic is broken, just long enough to be outside of the Amazon return policy and new enough to be irritated having to buy a new one since it so new
  • So I had a friend buy me these because at the time didn't have the money got em to replace my x12s worked perfectly for like a month and now the plug in mic doesn't seem to work just gives me static kinda noises when I plug it in and nothing happens when I talk really disappointed tbh because they worked perfectly and the sound was just as good as the x12s
  • This head worked good for like 5 months then the sound started to go bad

Reviews around cord (1.76 of 5)

  • Exactly what I was expecting (for the price), the only complaint I would say is the cord to your controller is a tad too small
  • The cord is kind of annoying but for the price, still worth every penny for this headset as you aren't gonna find a wireless set for the same price
  • The cord is a little on the short side but well worth the price
  • So I'm not sure if it was just me being too rough or just a bad cord.
  • The only reason I won't give 5 stars is because sometimes the cord can be a bit buggy and cut you out a bit

Reviews around noise (1.75 of 5)

  • Great sound and blocks out other outside noise pretty well.
  • October 10th they have been making this weird crackling noise and it made it unplayable...
  • The mic didn't work on the first and when it did it sounded like you were underwater and the second one that I replaced it with made a really bad crackling noise if you barely touched the wire and being plugged into an Xbox controller it was constant crackling
  • So I had a friend buy me these because at the time didn't have the money got em to replace my x12s worked perfectly for like a month and now the plug in mic doesn't seem to work just gives me static kinda noises when I plug it in and nothing happens when I talk really disappointed tbh because they worked perfectly and the sound was just as good as the x12s
  • The mic starts do a static noise when moving the controller

Reviews around bite (1.38 of 5)

  • Works as expected 4 stars because they are a bit uncomfortable and not your usual turtle beach quality, they seem pretty cheaply made but that was expected for the price
  • They are good for their price, can get a bit uncomfortable for those longer gaming sessions and the cord coming out of both sides is a little awkward, could be just going in 1 side
  • Just think the wiring is a bit cheap and not replaceable so 4 stars.
  • The on/off button on the cord is a bit cheap and hard to know when on/off the graphic is so small.
  • Good sound quality, its more comfortable than your average headset, however it tends to be a bit uncomfortable overtime

Reviews around week (1.24 of 5)

  • after just a week its starting to fall out from the slightest adjustment very annoying if i hadn't thrown the box
  • Have had it a week, and my used ones mic has already broke
  • My son had these less than two weeks and dropped them and they broke
  • Our mic stopped working three weeks into it
  • unacceptable.the detachable mic is a stupid and poorly executed idea at best.after only a few weeks the mic's performance went from ok to terrible and at times it didnt work at all.the ear pieces are sized for a child or an adult with tiny ears and become uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time.even the poorly made xbox headset is better than this waste of money.after
