- poodaAffordable priceThese were one of best headphones I ever had until I broke them... yeah I broke them i wasn't trying to i was sitting down, and the cord got tangled around my leg, once I got up I pulled the cord out.????
I used to have the wireless turtle beach buy one of my cousins broke them ????
Now I have no headset ????
Overall the headset was great I could hear alot of things in the game or just listening to music, you won't be able to hear others so it's best to turn them down just incase, hope the helps ???? - Chris F.This is my second set of these.Low cost, very crisp sound with nice lows and relatively loud volume. Frame seems decently resilient to wear and tear; comfortable to use.
This is my second set of these. My first set are still functional and usable, though the volume control now has a slight short in it that causes full volume to cut in and out. Otherwise, they are still working well after several years of everyday use. I'll probably fix the short one day soon. I only bought the new set to make sure I have steady full volume without cutting in and out. The low price made that easy. - ashley mealeyMic glitchWorks well, good audio and the mic sounds good, except according to my friends the mic glitches sometimes
- Ashley TraylorOver Ear, Good Quality DoundThese were the same quality as Gamestop, just a bit cheaper. The sound quality was top tier, the design was cool, and the fit was comfortable if you like over-ear headphones.
- Xeromaus & FamilyAmazing for the money. Absolutely LOVE these!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. - Brendan Charles AsherThe longest lasting headphones I've hadThese headphones man, they're something else, they're like the cockroaches of the headphones market in the sense that they just do not die, I've had these since the launch of xbox one, I played destiny 1 on launch with these, I bought these in high-school and I'm 27 now and they still work, a little finicky at times, but that's expected with a pair of headphones this old, I don't care much for mic quality, only durability and these hold up to the test of time, the only reason I'm upgrading to a different headset is because the ear cups have finally started to peel and fall apart, so these are being retired and put on the shelf as a backup pair, hopefully my new ones hold up just as well as these have. Also to turtle beach, I'm pissed that you discontinued the stealth pro, completely ruined my day finding that out and I actually cancelled my order over it, discontinuing support on your flagship headset is the worst marketing idea in my opinion, I found out when I went to purchase extra batteries for it as insurance, I really wanted to stick with turtle beach, but due to turtle beach discontinuing support on a headset that expensive, they have lost me as a customer. But the recon 50x is 1000% worth the money, oll say that much.
- Young FamilyPrice nearly tripledThey’re fine for 10 bucks, but I went to reorder for a family member and they’re not worth 27 dollars.
Sound quality good enough. Mic hasn’t started crackling yet. Nice and lightweight. - Kileyla MaschmeierAmazingActually good, the mic was a little weird at first and the jack to put the mic into the headset didnt want to work at first. I had to click it in a couple times to get it to work right. Now im running squads and having no problem at all. Although will defenitly switch up to a wireless eventually.
Lightweight, Good cord lengts, Not too heavy, Cant hear as much on the outside as youd think.
