For the price I cannot complain. All I needed it for was to communicate with friends/family on my ps5 console. I can hear them fine and they can hear me fine. The sound is clear and with no interference. I don’t sound like speaking from the inside of a tin of beans like I’ve had with other headsets. It’s not the best I’ve had comfort wise but to be honest after a while I forget I’m wearing it.It’s better than more expensive headsets I’ve purchased in the past.
Best cheap headse
Turtle beach headset single cup great if have kids or partner hear them too haha..value for money decent sound quality no issues in party chat no feedback or mic echo echo echo….
Excellent product and price!
My near 10 year old son loves this headset. It had one headphone one side and a speaker Mike on the other. There is a gap in the headphone for those who wear glasses making it so much more comfortable wearing the headset over glasses. My son uses this for his PC and for his Nintendo switch. Thanks.
4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but only use is for VOICE CHAT
Not bad but the right side is a little painful on my head.
Left side is not great because it has a gap through the speaker cushion.
Audio is brillia
I normally don’t write reviews but felt that the negative reviews did the product a serious injustice.
It is a cheap product but does not feel cheap.
Got it on sale, from the bad reviews I was thinking it is less than 5 so at worst I can use it as parts.
It fits over the ear, so no pressure and discomfort on your ear, and you can hear the game sound from the TV perfectly.
I did heat the plastic headband with almost boiling water to bend it into the shape I thought it should have been. That is the only negative for me, the packaging. it feels like the headset was jammed into a box that was a little too small for it, but that does not impact performance.
Despite the negative reviews the headset is actually comfortable, so comfortable that after 5-10 minutes of gameplay I forget it is on. People complain about the foam, it is not the mesh foam, but then again the foam they have used here does not soak up sweat, which is a real plus and an issue I have had with the mesh foam headsets in the past. The foam is hard but comfortable.
The only tweak I would suggest is a bit more volume. I have the headset volume on the PS4 outputs set to max for chat and max on the headset but it sounds a little quiet still. But then again it could be the volume on the mic from others.
If you need a chat headset you cannot go wrong with this. And at 5 on sale it is a bargain. Thinking of buying a second as a spare.
Great product ignore negative reviews they either don't know how to set a head set up or trolling
Product arrived promptly now before we go on this product attracted me as I have one deformed ear smaller than the other and I wear glasses, As soon as I unboxed the product I thought it looked great for the price, I have now used the item and can say finally I have found ahead set that doesn’t slip off or knocks by glasses or makes that horrible squeak when the glasses run on the frame, Also I fine this very comfortable around the ear I also have scaring around the ear you see and this headset allows enough ventilation so it does not get hot sweaty and irritable. All in all a great product with good sound and clear speech when talking to a friend or group I have no negatives hope this helps, Remember if you’ve found love then your home
Teenage mutant turtle... beeches
Not a bad chat headset. Only slight issue is the pads on the ear part of the headset they can dig in the jaw a little… maybe it’s the way I’m wearing it ?
Either way it’s a good basic headset and works!
Good headse
Suited my two children for gaming, the only criticism I have is that the strap gets a little uncomfortable on the head after a short time but still good value and enough for kids that play occasionally.
Ok
I didn’t realise this only did chat and not game sound in the background, was bought as a gift who thought it was broken until we had a look and realised it was only game chat that could be heard. Aside from that it’s comfortable and the mic quality was ok
They seems grea
Not too heavy, they seems to do the job. I have bought them since i play some games where i need either to hear my team mates and the game and they work fine. I still have to see how long they will last since i bought them just yesterday. Only thing i’m not really happy the chat volume is not really high but anyway you should be able to set it from your console so is not a big del.
Great if you want to hear both whats going on around you and the game
This was purchased so my son could play his games but also be able to hear us. And it has done exactly this. He can be on his console talking to his friends but also hear when we call for dinner or something similar. The headset is adjustable to head size and we felt a good price. Would certainly recommend
Driver should phoned me in the first delivery.
The earphone as arrived undamaged and working well.
This is not a complaint, but when we joined up and put our name and address down that’s okay this is needed.
But I also have to put down my phone number why if the drivers is not going to use them?
He/she could have phone me up say that they near Coalville to make sure we as a customer is in. Because this Item was delivered the day before the due date, which I don’t mind, but it could if saved the driver time not to come back the second time and he/she could delivered somewhere else, that is what the phone number is for.
Genuinely pleased with it!!! The voices are loud and clear, the way it’s made you genuinely can still hear your surround sound and voices with no issue, my buddies hear me crystal clear, genuinely a great product.
Cheap, million times better than the standard one you get with the ps4 (not hard I know)
BUT!!!!!……
people keep reviewing this item as having poor game sound.
I have to defend it, IT’S NOT FOR GAME SOUNDS
it’s solely for the mic and hearing your team mates voices, if you want a gaming head set to hear your ps4 exclusively through it, DON’T BUY A MONO HEAD SET!!
If you want a genuine great replacement for your ps4 mono mic head set, this is a great optio
Bought these for my two grandsons for Christmas. There was nothing actually wrong with the head sets and they were what they wanted but I was just told ‘Xbox One headsets’ what I didn’t know was that the fittings to connect to their Xbox one are completely different so they can’t use them until I get an adapter so, for something that cost me 15, I now have to spend at least another 20 per item so they can actually use them. So for two of them they’ve worked out quite expensive presents. Why do they make them with different connections to the original? It’s wrong and a con to make you spend more.
It’s a great headset, I prefer it to the standard one that comes with the xbox. When I opened it, there was minor assembling needed (slot the loop into the headset, easy, too easy…) What’s it like to use you ask? The headphone actually doesn’t rest on your ear, the ‘cup’ rests above and below, suspending the speaker off your ear instead. t’is comfortable indeed, but a little more cushion on the non speaker end would be good. It doesn’t dig in, it’d just be nice, don’t be tight TB. Also it’s lined with holes so you can hear what’s going on around you better, which is great if you’re like me and prefer your surround sound, or you need to hear something in one ear other than the mad gibber jabber of your party. On that note, the sound of the gibber jabber is of a good quality, nice and clear as you’d expect from TB. I was surprised at how light the headset is for its size (I guess from the holes) but it’s nice and sturdy. Survived an 8ft drop onto tiles no problem, I’ll tell you later. The mic seems bit short but it picks up my voice no problem and its bendy, so you can switch between left and right ears, heck, put it on your forehead. The speaker will go loud enough for you to hear it. So. All in all it’s a good headset, lightweight, comfortable and definitely worth buying if you need to replace your xbox headset with something similar.
It’s a very good headset. Sound and voice quality is good. The device is nice and lightweight so I don’t feel uncomfortable wearing it for extended hours and the glass-gaps are an utter godsend. Every headset (even the default XBOX cheap and nasty one) irritated my ears / glasses but these ones don’t and I don’t feel like my glasses are constantly being pushed into my head.
The only-small complaint I have is that the 3.5 jack you connect to your XBOX controller has a right-angle connection. This means the wire points towards to where your fingers want to grip the pad and, well it gets in the way and you have to move it around quite a bit. – That’s, literally my only complaint with these headphones and that’s more a minor nuisance than a bonafide issue. So I’m still happy to rate these as 5-star.
Many reviews state it’s uncomfortable and flimsy, but one mans flimsy is another mans lightweight. The band is simple and plastic, but isn’t particularly fragile.
It’s sits around the ear rather than against it, which I find makes it more comfortable for longer use, I preferred it to the stock Xbox one headset for that reason. I don’t recall any discomfort from the band, but maybe I’ve just worn it in, it’s no more uncomfortable than any other 1-ear headset I’ve had. It’s open ear cover design is perfect if you wear glasses as there’s no contact with them at all
Chat quality (mic and sound) is very clear, no problems with volume or clarity at all
All in all, maybe not for everyone but I personally have no issue with it, a good budget headset that delivers on sound quality. Other cheap headsets tend to crackle or even just die pretty quick but this is the best I’ve had for less than 20 in terms of reliability and the quality of the mic from the perspective of the people listening to me talk through i
