Good quality sound- super human mode is awesome, you can hear footsteps in games and tell what direction they are coming from! they comfortable to wear and I wear glasses and they cause me no problems. Also took me less then 30 seconds to connect to my Xbox and I especially like the headset connected to my phone and how you can use the app to change the settings mid game instead of reaching and finding the buttons behind your ear.
Bought these as a replacement for a set of wired Turtle Beaches I bought with my PS4, which was a few years ago.
Connection to ps4 was easy, just by placing the USB stick into port & everything worked & didn’t have to adjust my settings (instructions were pretty simple anyway)
These are excellent headphones. I wear glasses while gaming & these sit neatly over them very comfortably & I can wear these for a few solid hours of gaming without any discomfort.
Sound quality is very good too with clarity & the “superhuman” sound just makes everything louder and clearer.
I really like the voice mute function which is dine by moving the mix upwards, away from your mouth .. very easy.
The packaging is cheap, the build is cheap, they feel tacky, the look is tacky, but the sound & feel is fantastic. Love the ease of use and how simply you can turn the sound up and down on these things. They’re also comfortable for long periods of time.
Surely there can be something at this price point that isn’t dispatched in cheap cardboard and plastic that feels and looks a bit better?
These were for my son, as he’s broken countless wired headsets. He absolutely loves these, the sound quality is brilliant and he finds them really comfy. Very pleased and worth every penny.
Got these for my ps4 and pc and they are excellent sound quality of the game through them is great and audio out of the mic is great as well, recommended to 2 friends who now have them as well and couldn’t be happier
Also work well with glasses which you don’t always get with these style headphones
Audio is very good and can tell which direction you are being shot from or foot steps on call of duty
A gaming present for my Grandson as he kept breaking cable on his plugged in headset. This one ideal no cables
Audio quality is excellent, microphone is also great, has extra dials on the headset for controlling background/game audio separately to people speaking to you, which is pretty sweet. Value for money.
A bit annoying that it requires a specific xbox USB to operate and even more annoying the fact they dont make it clear in this description (I realised after it arrived and I opened it and then had to order the xbox USB) but other than that the headset is excellent. I’ve paid more money for headphones that were crappy.
Well I’m afraid I’ve got nothing bad to say about these. Apart from a bit pricey I paid over 100 for them but I suppose you pay for what u get..And there the first ever headset I brought for my Xbox one X.. And there the First ever headset that work like they say. I’ve never experienced such pristine sound like these ever.. and you download the app on computer and you can change settings on them to what you think you like.. could do with a few more choices in settings off the app but that’s not a big issue that’s just me being me lol but honestly I would never buy another product turtle beach headset have changed games that I play with amazing sound and bonus is no wires that’s brill too yes there wireless for me personally I say buy them all the way others have different options for me I give them 9/10 reason for that is hopefully in the future there will be more options in the app but there is loads now just needs a few more then I would give 10/10 hope you like them if u buy them and hope this helped you decide thanks for reading and have fun thanks
Came a day early than the estimated delivery date. The sound quality is amazing. Packaged nicely so no knocking about the product thats in the box. A very happy customer.
Bought for my partner’s birthday… Now I don’t have to hear COD all day…whoever asking him anything now requires sign language. Sound quality is excellent and the mic is EXCEPTIONALLY sensitive. Sometimes his mates hear me before he does!
All in al great for any gamer who needs to hear footsteps or sound ques in surround. Very happy.
I’m not sure what isn’t to like about these. Soon as they arrived, which wasn’t very long after ordering I had to try them out. They came well packaged to prevent any damage occurring and were in 100% in great condition. Once unpacked and a quick flick through the set up guide just to familiarise myself with the connection process it was full steam ahead. These little beauties came pre charged so I could dive straight into my game to test them out. A little adjustment with the headband and boom, fit like a glove, the head band itself is very well cushioned and the the curvature of it makes it very comfortable. The controls are placed with accessibility in mind and are easy to use while in the game, the fold down microphone is a great feature if your just playing on your own so you can pop it back and its out of the way. The sound quality is fantastic, you are submerged in the game from the off, there are different sound graphics you can use to adjust to your style of play. The super human sound is fantastic, you can literally hear anything or anyone even if they are approaching from behind. The quality of sound is amazing, you can hear an ant fart from 50 paces in downwind which is a bonus feature when playing any strategical game. Would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a great quality and very well priced gaming headset.
A really good headset. No connection issues and long battery life. Some have said it is uncomfortable, however I have found it to fit well and cause no discomfort.
Fantastic set of headphones. The superhuman hearing setting is great for when playing first person shooter games and locating where opponents are in the map. Really comfortable for long periods of time
I got these for the xbox one x and they are excellent. They link straight to the xbox there’s no adapters. Just switch them on and pair them it’s as simple as that.
I am very very picky when it comes to gaming headsets, I had a discontinued turtle Beach headset which i loved for the longest time and when it broke I spent ages looking for the perfect headset to replace it. The three main qualitys I was looking for were: 1) Microphone quality and this is where the headset was lacking for me as my friends said it was slightly tinny compared to my old microphone but that was a very good mic and now adays finding a reasonable priced headset with a good microphone is extremely hard so don’t let that put you off because I am really happy with this headset. The second quality 2) Is sound obviously and this headset is AMAZING for this price range, you can here literally every sound in game with the right settings in the app and the bass is surprising very good, I listen to all my music on it now aswell. Lastly 3) is comfort and this headset is very comfortable, but at first it may seem a little tight but once it is broken in a bit you can barely feel it on your head. Now for the negatives: the biggest one for me is streight out the box there was a massive problem with the noise cancelling, whenever I turned it on the right earphones made a horrible cracking sound but when I turned it off it was perfectly fine. I didn’t bother returning it because the noise cancelling is a bit of a gimic anyway so I was never going to use it. I haven’t seen anyone else with this problem so don’t let it affect you buying it and if it does happen you can always return it . Another thing is that the battery life is about 12h which I great but if you are like me and constantly forget to charge the headset, it can get annoying, also the wire they give you is very short so you can’t really use it while charging unless you get a new cable. But this is made up for by the fact this headset is amazing wireless and it is honestly so much nicer but having wires and makes the gaming experience even more enjoyable.
Bought these for my son and he loves them. Great quality and easy to charge. My son loves that they are wireless.
great headset great sound quality just the charging cable is abit short but that’s not to worry I can just plug it into my pc
I have gone through many different headsets (wired) and they never seem to last very long since the wires always get ripped or damaged in some way making the headset not able to work. So I thought I’d try a wireless headset.
I was looking for a headset that was wireless, had a soft cushion around the ears making it comfortable for long gaming sessions, possible bass boost and surround sound. I’m pleased to say, this headset does it all. The battery life is Very long lasting giving you lots of hours having an epic experience hearing every crisp detail. The battery life is one big thing I was concerned about before I got it since it’s wireless. I am able to use the headset for most of an entire day and charging takes up very little time. The mic is very clear, no muffling sound when speaking. You can also flip the mic up and down so it’s not stuck in one place all the time (Up for mute and down for speaking).
So you’re probably thinking what are the negatives? Obviously the price maybe a little high but that’s probably just because of the brand. Honestly, I couldn’t think of a single bad thing about this headset. It does everything I was looking for and have not been disappointed.
If you have any questions about this product then feel free to ask.
Absolutely awesome wireless headphones. My gaming may be limited to racing games but these have added such an extra dimension to my racing. Especially good for rallying, I never miss hear a pace note anymore. Microphone works well and a nice feature being able to flip it up out of the way. I wear glasses too and these are definatley the comfiest headphones I’ve owned (even after a 10/12hr marathon sesh). I’ve also watched a few movies while wearing them and that was yet another plus. Can’t recommend these headphones enough. Excellent quality all round.
I bought this gaming headset a while ago and it is very good because you can not hear anything except the game when you have them on. Would buy again.
Son loves these. The sound quality is great and noise cancelling works really well. A little expensive but you get what you pay for..
Got these for my Grandson for Christmas, he loves them
The young gamer who is the happy owner of this set describes the sound as excellent and the comfort level as ideal. Battery performance is also very good. Seems good quality, I hope so as they are not cheap!
These are brilliant! My partner loves them for his Xbox gaming! The sound quality is really good & set up is really easy. Would definitely recommend
Bought these for my son, he said they are the best headphones he has ever had, great sound quality and very comfortable and easy set up.
Bought for hubby as an Xmad gift. I could never give up his trust old ones but as soon as he put these on he was stunned and excited at the quality and super human hearing. He loves it.
Works great on switch – needs to be plugged into dock while being used, cannot be used without dock as it has a USB receiver / transmitter.
What can I say? Turtle beach headphones are really worth their weight in gold.. super human hearing is awesome. Bough these for my little boy for Christmas, he is very very happy with them.
Both of my kids have these headphones, both are very pleased with them
Son has said they are the best headset he has ever had, they do seem to be better quality then most, but they are more expensive than most…
I’ve always trusted turtle beach name for headsets and this 1 is no diff
There isn’t as much control over the tones etc as you used to get on Turtle Beach headphones however sound is very good anyway! Battery life is great; I spend hours playing Borderlands 3, chatting and listening to music on them at the same time – they rarely need charging which is a miracle compared to my last TB headset.
The mic mutes by flipping it up which is handy and pretty cool.
The mic monitor function needs to be done within the app under “settings 2” (I think).
Mostly comfortable with glasses but I do try to make sure I take them off for a few minutes every so often anyway.
Really happy with the purchase, glad I got annoyed with old set.
Comfortable, fantastic sound great for the PlayStation if you are not bothered about any extras such as being able to take calls etc I would say look no farther they are in my opinion way superior to the PlayStation Gold
Easiest to set up it’s just like pairing a controller the quality is very good the sound is not as loud as I would like it is a bit low but it is for my son and probably better off that way she doesn’t hurt his ears
Bought these for my boy, he’s been using them for a week and likes the mic mute feature when you point the mic skywards! I picked them up today and was surprised at the build quality which is really good and the headband and ear pieces are really nicely padded and look really comfortable. I spent a lot more on a pair of noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones and they don’t look or feel nearly as good…..I haven’t checked the audio quality but have had no complaints from the boy.
Son loves these headphones! Has used them with is Xbox one for about 1 year and have always worked perfectly. Sound is good and he tells me that he has no problems with the mic either. Good head set would recommend.
I was hesitant about buying a headset for gaming as it was something I wasn’t sure I could get used to and it was something I’d never previously owned. But after buying these, it completely rejuvenated my gaming experience. They have deep bass and excellent quality surround sound bringing the games to life and a whole new level of immersion all with the freedom of no wires. Battery life is amazing even after long gaming sessions and chat quality when in party’s is crystal clear. The only issue I’ve found is that they use a WiFi connection to connect to the Xbox rather than Bluetooth and there can be interference issues when you speak in chat (my friends complained about an occasional buzzing when I spoke) on the 5Ghz frequency, but I resolved this by connecting my Xbox to our routers 2.4Ghz frequency. All in all, a very good well made headset for a very fair price. Would strongly recommend.
I bought theses for my granddaughter but had to return them,only because she is 11 and they we’re a bit big so didn’t fit properly over her ears, but the quality was great .
I really like these! They work with both ps4 and nintendo switch. The range is decent. They are comfortable for long sessions especially compared to the playstation gold wireless headset I also own. The battery life is better than the ps gold, the range is better than the ps gold the downsides are theres no app to set them up to your personal preference and only a few preset modes to choose from, the virtual surround sound mode is crap it makes them sound thin and tinny but the stereo modes are full and dynamic maybe a bit bass heavy for war/shooter games ie with explosions but worth having if there within your budget.
Flawless item. The whole, tilting the head band a little more forward takes some time to get used too. But it’s comfortable. Can be loud! The ability to auto sync for true wireless is FAB
The only problem i have with these i i cant independently adjust voice volume its all integrated with whatever sound u have coming thru… still a good headset tho
Comfortable – modern – great quality. Easy to connect to Xbox. Mic easily muted (and know when with noise). Separate volume controls for voice chat and game volume. Perfect for any gamer. Of course wireless tops it off!
Bought these for a mate of mine, I already have a pair… what else can I say they are the business, don’t mess about just get a set and get stuck in! Get these instead of the 700’s, the newer 700’s have all sorts of problems… check the reviews for yourselves and see.
So far so good. I’ve had Turtle Beach headsets before and this one feels the same. My son is happy with them and the fact they’re wireless. They don’t feel as premium as more expensive sets are, but for this price they’re worth it. Easy to set up.
Brought these for my husband, he loves them. Unique features like muting the microphone by moving the microphone up plus more (I dont use them to know what he means). They must be good as he has recommended them to his mates who have all since got them.
Great headphones for Xbox that work as described. Seamless wireless linking with an Xbox just like your pad. They go loud enough but not as loud as you want them too if that makes sense. Otherwise, great for the money. Best in class for under 100.
I bought these for my husband and he is fairly impressed. The only negative he said was when he is talking via the mic to other people they find it difficult to hear him and they have to turn up their sound. He has tried everything to fix it but to no avail. Other than that great headset.
I’ve left it a few months before reviewing as I was sceptical about how good these may be having read a few negative reviews. I bought a Microsoft controller at the same time to use in conjunction with this headset, and that packed up after 2 months! But this Turtle Beach headset has continued to work fine and is semi-permanently stuck on my 11 year-old’s head 7 days a week it seems.
He’s not reported any problems at all, they charge and hold charge well, and the functions all are ok and working after around 8 months now.
Amazing headset with the sound/party chats are smooth and clear.wearing the headset is comfortable enough but the mic is to far away from your mouth that u kind of need to talk abit louder so if you have to be quite most of the time or late at night then ur mic probably won’t pick up the sound which is the downside.
For the Xbox One version, not 1 wire in sight was amazing, I was shocked to have no wire to the controller for a change. The sound was amazing and clear, voice chat is good and it worked great on windows 10 (with an xbox controller adapter) and also on my mobile phone. The only downside I could find is the android app doesn’t configure the headset as good as the windows version (using the charging cable).
Overall I would absolutely recommend this headset, the comfort is good (I wear glasses too and it was fine) and it feels perfectly snug for clear sound.
2020 update: a year on and this headset is great for sound but the mic isn’t great if you don’t speak loud. I talk quieter and people find it harder to hear me with this compared to other headsets.
Just started using this headset and it is a great headset.
I previously used Astro A50s for the Xbox one X and just didnt want to spend another 270 (they have went up by 20) although they were the best headset around without a doubt.
The sound quality of the Stealth 600s is excellent, not as much bass as the Astros but after trying them in Rainbow Six Siege they were very accurate with directional audio and extremely light and comfortable. There is no way Astro A50s justify an extra 200 for an overall very similar experience.
I am usuall VERY picky about my headsets. They have to feel right, they have to sound right, they have to be wireless, chargable… so on.
My particular feature that I didn’t think about until I needed it was that this device has two volume controls. One for party and the other for game. Can’t hear your team over the gunfire? turn the game down a touch without entering any settings menus! Need to listen for someone sneaking up on you? Turn your party down without letting them down!
Also don’t slouch on the couch, it can deafen you.
Amazing headset, Bluetooth and surround sound they are very good. My son has been through loads of sets of headphones and they always break at the jack point. Good news you don’t have one with these! Charge lasts ages and when they do eventually run out they charge back up really quickly. They are also very comfortable and the mic works well. The controls are positioned in a good place and they synch perfectly with the Xbox no problems and instantly working. I would highly recommend these to all who want no more wires and quality gaming sound.
Not used personally but have checked quality and its perfect. My son loves it and happily bounces up and down on sofa without tangling himself round wires while playing xbox. You get what you pay for and this quality product. The pull down boom is much better than the screw in ones too.
I love these – I’ve been using them for my ps4 for a couple of months now. Originally, I bought a pair of Kraken v2 and the sound from those was horrendous in my opinion. I am a musician so sound is incredibly important to me so I did a little more in-depth research this time. The frequency response on the Stealth 600s are great. A nice and crisp sound with a powerful low end but not so much that it becomes muffled and muddy. Plus, a couple of different EQ profiles means you can tailor things a little more to your taste. I’m so much happier with these. Very easy to set up too.
It has a ‘super human hearing mode’ which I tried for about a minute in Apex legends and it was not good. It’s supposed to make you be able to hear subtle noises around you but it ends up being quite disorientating and loud. They’re not very easy to store as the don’t fold up or anything, although this doesn’t bother me as I just put them in a draw. They don’t keep the sound in super well but my girlfriend hasn’t said anything yet so it can’t be that bad.
Overall, I’d highly recommend these. I looked for absolutely ages at a bunch of market leading gaming headphones and these seemed to come out on top.
Bought as an upgrade to my old wired turtle beach recon something or other. They are brilliant, not quite sure what the bad reviews are on about. No issues connecting or with battery or with sound volume/quality. All these things are fantastic. Very comfortable and adjustable for the perfect fit. Had them on and working within minutes of opening the box. Would definitely recommend
I have tried 3 different cabled headsets with my xbox and couldn’t really get any to work. I was at first reluctant to buy these as they are way more expensive, however, they are worth it! Very simple to setup, worked straight away. Good battery life and good sound quality.
Love to give a review on a product and this one is a good one. Would definitely buy again if these ever break.
Arrived quickly and packaged well.
Headphones are pretty decent considering they are not the most expensive ones on the market.
Comfy and snug fit for me. And decent quality sound for both me and those who listen to me talk.
Had been nervous about using truly wireless headphones for game performance but these actually are better than my old turtle beaches which were wired and cost almost double the price! Would recommend!
Pleaseed with the purchase and if we get the same amount of gaming time from these headphones like the last turtle beach ones it will be money well spent.
Great sounding headset with a few presets. Mic is pretty good. Quite comfortable even after a few hours use.
Great headset, links via holding down the sync button on Xbox and headset. Connects like a controller. The mute voice feature is neat when moving the mic in the upright position for muting yourself in chat. Game sound and voice can be adjusted to suit gaming needs by two separate dials. Great sound and comfy to wear.
Materials: I’ll start off with a less than good point – the materials on this feels rather cheap, from the finicky plastic cups to the not so soft ear pads. On first use they made my ears hurt after an hour or so of gaming, but in the days that followed my they got used to them. Although, it is still like a breath of fresh air when taking them off!
Sound: The omni-directional sound has helped my gameplay in shooters tremendously. I can hear footsteps and their location from further than ever so that’s a massive plus. There’s a few different sound modes, including a ‘superhuman hearing’ mode which simply just boosts the volume (don’t recommend). The ‘signature sound’ seems to be the best mode, offering a decent punchy base (nothing too special) and clear mids/highs. It makes for immersive gameplay and decent entertainment watching but I wouldn’t use it as my go to for a movie.
Mic: Crystal clear from (as I’ve been told). VOIP quality. Flicks up to the side to mute, with an audible sound ‘MIC OFF’ when in position. ‘MIC ON’ when flicker back into speaking position.
Fit: The extendable arms makes sure it can fit any head, but like I said the pressure it creates on the ears, whilst good for a tight seal can get uncomfortable. Overall though it fits solidly on your head, doesn’t fall off with frantic head movements (don’t ask) and doesn’t really move.
Design: Probably one of the more gaudy designs, I wouldn’t wear them in public (besides the fact you can’t pair these with regular Bluetooth devices) but it is a gaming headset so that’s sorta expected?
Overall: Pretty solid headset that does the job. If you’re looking to slay some fortnite noobs or better your COD game, this will help. But if you’re a professional looking for professional equipment. This isn’t it. Saying that, the majority of us sadly aren’t professional gamers, so this gets a solid 4/5 from me.
When I first got it out I was excited and I put it on charge thinking that it will take like an hour but it takes 3 hours to fully charge then u gottta down load the software on ur pc and update the headset. Once that was done I connected it to my Xbox and played BF4 and the sound quality was so good that it was like being in the actual car. Used no problem but the super human hearing is a little odd and makes the people sound like robots (I haven’t played with the app yet), when u turn ur Xbox off it also turns the headset off
Initially they where fantastic but unfortunately they broke down on Xmas day of all days and would not switch on at all,
I sent Turtle Beach an email at 21:03 on Xmas day but didn’t expect a reply until after the new year, BUT, they got back to me on Boxing Day and after giving them the details of the head set and serial number I was amazed to be told that a new headset would be posted the following day and was even more amazed to have received the replacement 2 days after the New Year,
I have not tried them myself but my son uses them for his Xbox one and watching movies and says they sounds fantastic,
Would I buy them again, definitely, would I recommend them to others, again definitely, Although it was annoying with them breaking down, these things happen even with new products, its a fact of life, accept it, but the after service I received was exceptional, probably the best I have ever known, it is for this reason I would have no problems going back to them again and agai
Only criticism is that the volume only goes so high. Other that wireless perfection!
Great headphones, connect really easily to Xbox one. Charging cable could be longer, my son has to balance them to charge from Xbox .
Extremely comfy. Great battery. No adapters needed for wireless on Xbox one X.
So good I can sometimes here my long gone century old dead ancestors whispering to me while playing intensely on call of duty black ops 4
My son previously had a different brand of headset which was a wired product. Although the product wasn’t cheap, it didn’t last long before he had issues with the sound being intermittent or only being able to hear from one side. With the wires also being a minor problem, I decided to search for a wireless headset that had good reviewed without being the most expensive out there. I came across these and I was happy with the reviews so decided to purchase them as an Xmas present. He loves them, hasn’t had any problems with the sound and most of all made it easier that they were wireless!
The Mic is great however the sound comes from the tv not the headphones
Easy to connect, great sound (game and chat are separate volume levels) clear mic and comfortable to wear. Also warns you when battery is getting low if you haven’t been keeping an eye on their status your xbox menu screen. My only criticism is that they don’t give nearly enough feedback of your own voice coming back at you so you end up shouting. Having said that they surpass my expectations for the price this is the only missing feature compared with my xp500s and they were double the price when new. Also doesn’t have bluetooth but this is not an issue if you don’t plan on using them on other devices.
The sound on these headphones are amazing it feels like your in the battle!
Arrived well packaged and fairly quickly. Set up easily to my Xbox one S. Very comfortable to wear and sound excellent. Only downside being need to reset to console each time of use. No big deal after doing once or twice however. Also my wife says she can hear conversation from my contacts. Doesn’t bother my gaming though. Overall an improvement to my previous corded headset and battery life of controller much improved.
Earphones are great! The sound quality is very good 4 stars because the left ear piece presses on my ear and after a few hours it starts to ache a bi
So I got these as a present for my husband. He absolutely loves it. He says it brings a new dimension to the game. I tried them on and wow – the sound is just something else. He plays things like Subnautica, Red Dead Redemption, Fall Out 4… where sound add a layer to the whole experience, but with these headphones it adds a whole new dimension. You hear sounds that you have not noticed before and it feels like a surround system, so turning your head makes a difference too. He is now recommending it to his mates. I think wifey did well here 🙂 Hub was very impressed 🙂
A good quality set of wireless earphones that once set up offer a distinct advantage in gaming, certainly on FPS where being able to hear footsteps, weapon reloads can mean the difference between winning and losing, the headset is fairly comfortable even after several hours of use and having no wire’s to get in the way is a definite bonus, through the app which for this model needs to be on a pc/laptop you have a couple of settings that you can alter for personal preference, the only downside to these that I have found is that if you try to charge whilst using the headset other people in a group/party may hear interference but this shouldn’t be a problem if you make sure their fully charged before a gaming sessio
I love this headset. I’m now completely wire free while gaming. Looks and feels superb. Not too heavy while on my head and comfortable for long gaming sessions. Once out the box it was setup and connected by pressing 4 buttons. 1 for power on the headset, turning on the xbox and pressing both sync buttons on the xbox and headset. Sound is great and works perfectly in conjunction with Dolby atmos ability the xbox one has these days( I purchased Dolby code to access seperately). All in all a great price of kit and worth the purchase
Good sound and Impressive option on how it can sound as it’s your choice. There have been some teething problems with updating it but seems great now @@
Decent sound, very durable and good battery life. Bought for my son as he manages to break the wired ones fairly quickly. I wish I’d bought these 3 sets of cheap wired headsets ago! It would have saved me some money
Item as discribed, with minor cosmetic issues, but work and sound great.
After trying a few other brand headsets I have finally found the one headset which offers everything I wanted.
First of all UPDATE the firmware which is very easy to do so.
The wireless headset is perfect with no annoying short cables etc.
Mic Monitoring is very good, not perfect, but still more than enough with a group chat and a loud game.
The base/feedback… ooooh yeah. I happily use this for watching films when not gaming on the Xbox One X.
The phone app to control the features is a god send. More headsets should have this feature.
It isn’t too heavy and after 2 hours I only noticed it was due to my posture sat on a bed and not a chair so I was leaning forward.
Highly recommend it.
Really really good headset. Was struggling to find a decent wireless one for a good price but I coughed up 80 or 90 for this and I’m not disappointed. Brilliant quality and the batter life is very decent, I only charge it once every 3/4 days!
Great headset with amazing sound quality, 3d surround sound although not fully tested works as expected on Forza Horizon 4. Party chat whilst playing games is be clear and I could be heard with no feedback or echos. Simple to set up and ready to use immediately but will need a full charge before extended use as only 50% charged or the box.
So far so good!
Positives
– Comfortable – Had a few 4/5 hour sessions with these and not a single issue here. Ear cups are comfortable and there’s plenty of adjustment depending on your head size
– Good Mic – No issues with the Mic sound and it simply flips out when you want to use it then you can flip it back to mute it or turn it off. Comes in handy for me as the Mrs is constantly trying to shout stupid things down the mic lol. There’s also mic feedback (you can hear yourself slightly when you talk) so you’re not shouting all the time.
– Wireless – works perfectly, takes literally 10 seconds out the box to sync them to your xbox then your good to go. When you switch them on it automatically switches on your Xbox. No issues so far with dropping connection etc (make sure you update the firmware before use, just plug into PC/Mac via usb and download the turtle beach software/app) Range is very good too, I can get up walk around, go into different rooms etc with no connection issues.
– Bluetooth – Great feature! Connects to your phone/tablet at the same time so you can listen to music or take calls whilst playing, love it!
– Charge time – 3hrs to fully charge it which is good, Recently I’ve been putting it on charge after each session so not sure what the battery life is like from full to empty judging by the battery gauge 8 hours with bluetooth on seems about right. It can be wired too if battery dies.
Negatives
– Build quality – Its not bad but could be better for the price. I can easily see these breaking if not properly taken care of. Should have come with a case at this price
– Buttons & controls could be better placed – There’s buttons & sliders located on the left for the controls but it takes a while to figure out the placement and I find myself turning the chat volume down accidentally instead of the game volume. Will take some getting used to
– Sound – They sound good enough but personally I think it could be a little louder. I was expecting more of a deeper bass but the mids and treble are ok nothing special. Bare in mind I’ve only played ONE game with these so it could vary and I’m used to using good headphones for my music so its the only thing I can compare them to but again I wasn’t blown away by the sound as other have said. The presets don’t make much difference either. The “super human hearing” setting makes everything sound tinny and weird but I think it would work well with the right game.
Active Noise Cancellation – (Activated by tapping the power button) Doesn’t make any difference to me, however the headphones do a pretty good job of blocking out sound without it.
Overall Thoughts:
I’m happy with my decision so far would have given it a 5 if they’d have thrown a case or charging station in! It has pretty much everything you need in a headset at this price point. Bluetooth feature is a game changer, being able to listen to your own music while playing, knowing that you wont be missing any calls, messages or notifications makes for a more chilled out gaming experience.
If you’re looking for a set of wireless headset I don’t think you need anything more than these unless you’re a hardcore gamer who wants the best.
Very good quality headset but sadly doesn’t come with an aux cable to use for when the battery has run dry.
Sound quality is great, but am yet to test them on something like COD to see how good the surround sound really is.
Overall for 75 these are great value, I just hope they last ten years like my px5’s did.
Great signature sound fantastic for gaming (Rainbow six siege especially)
Wireless and comfy, can wear for hours without discomfort.
Crisp clear mic quality where you can hear yourself, useful. Flicking the mic up or down to mute is helpful too.
Cons :
Battery life not as great as people are making out. Ok for the casual gamer but for the ones spending a few more hours you will get a little frustrated. Also when it warns “battery low” you’ve got about a minute before it dies completely. Should be a bit earlier I’d you ask me.
Sound modes. Superhuman hearing SUCKS. like it’s a total joke it basically cranks some sort of internal gain and makes everything sound horrible and distorted, don’t use. The bass and treble boosts work OK and are mostly good for movies rather than gaming, although the bass boost is good for games like battlefield ect with alot of explosions, gives extra depth. Surround sound good for movies but not much difference to signature sound in games.
Button layout : this is something that annoys me. The battery, all the buttons the charging port ect is ALL in the left headphone. It doesn’t feel heavy or cluttered but the buttons are not raised or prominent in any way, it’s hard to find with your fingers when you are wearing them, can be a bit annoying.
Overall, though I have a few niggles I am happy with the headset for the price I paid, it’s worth getting if this is around your budget, you won’t do much better. If you want something with a little bit less of a “throw them out on the construction line and we’ll make the next model”, you’re gonna have to spend a bit more. All in all, would recommend for the majority of people. Many thanks!
I will begin with the main negative, and that is the build quality. Whilst not a complete deal-breaker, they are mainly plastic and not what I would describe as a premium feel. The earpads however are good quality and the overall look of the headset is pleasant enough, aside from the gloss accents which are just there to attract finger prints – when will these headset manufacturers learn? It is just in the hand the materials fall short of the price tag, although being lightweight has its benefits in terms of comfort. The headset is extremely comfortable to wear for long periods. The earpads don’t get too hot, the head-band is sufficiently padded and the grip on the head is fine. The glasses-relief system on the earpads is also a welcome addition.
Performance: sound quality is excellent overall. They are sufficiently loud without being excessive, with clear audio and punchy bass which doesn’t distort at higher levels. I am very impressed by the audio and the bass in particular is far superior to many other more expensive headsets I’ve used. In fact I would put them on a par with the Astro A50 Gen 3’s in terms of bass, only with arguably superior surround sound. Using Windows Sonic or Dolby Atmos, spatial awareness is extremely immersive. Noise cancellation is decent and the convenient flip-up mic is above average.
In summary, this headset represents good value for money. If you appreciate the convenience of true wireless with Xbox One, with the back-up of Bluetooth connectivity to add to its versatility, this headset from Turtle Beach is a great option. The audio performance in particular makes up for some of the shortcomings with the build quality – which although robust enough, lack that premium feel.
First real pair of headphones and I’m well more than happy with the result, only negative thing and could be a minor part on my end is I feel like I’m missing it’s true potential. Still highly recommend!!
Connection to the Xbox is very easy, and it’s good to not have a separate receiver to have to connect.
They are pretty comfortable, although maybe not as comfortable as my old Stealth headphones.
The sound quality is very good, and give a good in game experience, the windows surround is good and I’ve yet to try the Dolby Atmos option but don’t see the point as they already sound good.
I’d give them 5 if they were just a touch more comfortable.
my son is very happy, the mic is too sensitive.. he prefers to use them unless he is in ‘party chat’
I’ve had my share of gaming headsets and I must say I really love these ones.
+ Great fit
+ Comfortable for long use
+ Wireless connectivity is fast and accurate
+ Mic quality is good
+ Sound quality is good and unlike many reviews I’ve seen here, they ARE loud enough
+ Mic monitoring is an awesome addition to this
– Plastic material is not the most premium around. The Astro A10 has better build quality but this is more comfortable, so it depends on what you’re looking for
– There are no separate party chat and game audio volume controls. I assumed there were, but it turns out the slides are for “master volume” and “mic monitoring”
If you’re on a bit of a budget and you’re looking for an excellent wireless headset, this is definitely for you.
Works well, has good surround sound, Bluetooth is easy to set up. Not quite on par sound wise to the official Sony headset but I’ve given up on them because the hinge on the headset keeps snapping. Good for the price
