Fantastic
By Rob Speicher
Pros:
+ Super-sensitive mic picks up everything I say, even whispers and mumbles; this was the single greatest element to my purchasing these to replace my former headset, the Sharkoon X-tatic SP
+ Great sound, not overly “bass-y”, and you may control the amount of bass with the Bass Boost dial
+ XBOX controller connection is compatible with the chat pad and all Rock Band/DJ Hero/Guitar Hero controllers without an adapter, different from the Sharkoons
+ Extremely comfortable, even with glasses and after multiple hours of ceaseless use
+ While they’re not noise-canceling, I’d say they cut external noise at least in half, if not more
+ Controller dongle/pod is light and well positioned
Cons:
- Microphone is so sensible it ofttimes picks up background noise
- I don’t exclusively like the microphone monitoring feature. I don’t personally need to listen my own voice when I’m speaking, but it is a utile reminder with regards to whether or not you have your mic muted.
- Due to the position of the mute toggle, it may be a little too easy to in an unintentional manner modify the Bass Boost/Game/Chat volumes inadvertently
- Very, very slight static hiss when plugged into USB power, which is apparently systemic to USB-powered headsets. The hiss is less noticeable here than with the Sharkoons, at least
Overall, a huge betterment over my former headset. The group of humans I play with steadily noticed a big divergence in audio quality and capacity to listen me. Highly commended if you need a PC and/or 360 headset.

Great Headset, nice upgrade from x11′s
By Jared Cuenco
I just picked these up today, Aug. 16, 2011, which is when they became available. I actually love the way these things sound. they are great on movies, music, and specially games. I’ve had the px 2′s, the x11′s and these are far superior. The sound is much more rich/full. Without a dss footsteps are crystal clear and no hiss or background noice. the bass boost is outstanding too, if you actually want to sound whore turn up the bass a little and those footsteps sound like stomps. I am in truth pleased because no matter how high i turn up the volume i don’t get any distortion. The ear cups are more spectacular as well making them feel more comfortable than the x11′s or px21′s. If you liked the x11′s then you’ll love these. Basically if you have the x11′s/px21′s and they work then you do not genuinely need these. But if your current headset has distortion or is broken or if your looking to get your basi headset for gaming, I highly commend these without a doubt. This is the best headset you may buy for under $100. Trust me i’ve tried them all, the plantronics, sharkoon, tritton, & a bunch of others but i just end up returning them because they do not match the quality of the turtle beaches. Hope this review was helpful, if you got any questions please feel free to leave a comment, thanks!

great piece of gaming equipment.
By B-bot 19
These headphones are the perfective gift or accesoy to any gamer who enjoys FPS games. I may have the volume as piercing as i wanted without disturbing my kids or wife. I may likewise watch movies and even altho they are wired it is long and easy to keep underneath controll and out of reach of little kids. They are ultra comfortable and the sound is great. I would perfer surround sound for sure but did not have sufficient to invest in the next grade up. the price was a little high 60.00 but it was worth it. On Call of Duty black ops i may listen foes entering a building on the introductory floor while im on the second floor, not only that but i may also listen what direction it is coming from. I ultimatley decisive upon the wired pair as well because i read a great deal of reviews stating the lower end wirless headphones had lots of interference in the presence of wireless merchandise i.e. baby moniter, laptop, cell phones, and basically anything that is wirless. Bottom line outstanding sound, decent price, and looks awesome.
