Customers say
Customers find the gaming headset comfortable with its padded band, and consider it good value for money. Moreover, they appreciate its performance for gaming and listening to music. However, the sound quality receives mixed feedback – while friends can hear clearly, some report loud background noise. The functionality and build quality also get mixed reviews, with some saying it works well with Xbox and PC while others report it doesn’t work at all, and some units breaking after a few weeks. Additionally, the microphone functionality is problematic, with reports of it cutting out and not working properly. The fit receives mixed feedback, with some finding it comfortable while others say it’s too small across the width of their head.

Excellent for the price.
I managed to get these cheap on a sale and they are excellent. The sound quality is great for the price. Only issue I’ve had is the mic occasionally not picking up my voice, very rarely through. Good, sturdy all round headset.

Good Price Compared to Other Brands
I purchased the version of these headphones designed for the Xbox One, and despite there being some doubts upon buying it because of the complaints about mostly the microphone, I haven’t experienced an issue, and I bought it in March (it is now July).The audio quality is decent, you are able to hear people clearly and this ultimately means the headphones themselves are good. The jacks are durable and will not break easily, so that means if they stop working, you are more likely to have a flaw in the specific model or you’ve dropped it quite a lot or similar than it actually being a fault with the product as a whole. The microphone, does not have an echo, so that is fantastic for anyone who does not want one, which I would assume is most people since it is an inconvenience to everyone else you talk to.This headset includes the mute for your microphone on the headset, as most headsets do, which is a useful feature and nice to have for quickly muting your microphone, especially if there is a disturbance nearby. It also has your general volume management wheel which is on most headsets as well, although it would be nice for it to be able to get louder in some circumstances.Overall, this is a very solid headset, it is affordable, trustable, and you should not necessarily need to get a replacement quickly as it works just fine. Please ensure though that you do not drop, throw or anything of the sort to your headset, and then complain that it does not work or stopped working. The audio quality COULD be better, but it isn’t bad by any means, and this is a fairly cheap headset in comparison to others. So, fairly solid headset, I do recommend this one.(FYI – I am not sure what the differences are for each headset meant for a specific console, please take this as a review for the Xbox One headset)

Please read if mic does not work!
These are great however we had some issues with head set. We did resolve this issue tho. IF MIC IS NOT WORKING, MAKE SURE WHERE YOU PLUG IT IN ON THE HEADSET THAT THE NOTCHES IN THE CONNECTION ARE LINED UP.Instruction leaflet doesnât mention this.

Best price and works perfectly with xbox one
Firstly, i can highly recommend buting this headset. Best price i found online, plus it wprks straight out the box.Bought this for my 10 year old sonâs birthday. He uses it for gaming on his xbox one and reported back to me that although he’s yet to use it to game online with his friends from school, he has tested it and we both can see that his consul shows on screen that a headset has been plugged in, ready for use. My son loves it, so he recommends it too.

Penso di aver scelto le migliori da far usare a un ragazzino.I colori ricordano molto la Switch.Sono robuste, comode, e il suono è decisamente ottimo. Sono abbastanza grandi da farci stare dentro anche le orecchie di un adulto, perciò perfette. Il microfono può essere smontato, se non serve, questo è ottimo.à stato un regalo di Natale che ha resfo felice un bimbo. Straconsiglio!!

Ich habe mir das Headset für meine PS4 gekauft, da mein altes ein On-Ear-Headset war und somit bei längeren Sessions unangenehm wurde.Meine Erfahrungen mit Turtle Beach waren bis jetzt immer sehr positiv und das hat sich auch bei diesem Produkt nicht geändert. Obwohl ich auf das verstärkte Stereo verzichtet habe, da ich wirklich nur gelegentlich spiele, finde ich, dass man trotzdem in den meisten Spielen (v.a. Ego-Shootern) trotzdem sehr gut ausmachen kann, wo ein gegnerischer Spieler sich befindet.Auch längere Gaming-Sessions sind damit möglich, da das Headset sehr weich und angenehm zu tragen ist. Das Over-Ear-Design trägt einen wesentlichen Teil zum Tragekomfort bei.Zum Mikrofon ist zu sagen, dass die Soundqualität besser ist, als bei so manchen â¬100 Headsets. Zudem kann man das Mikro ausstecken, wenn man es nicht braucht. Am Kabel ist ein Lautstärkeregler sowie ein Mute-Switch angebracht, was ich ideal finde, da man dadurch nicht immer zu den Einstellungen muss, um die Lautstärke zu verändern oder sein Mikrofon stumm zu schalten.Was ich besonders gut an den Ear Force Recon 50P finde ist, dass man einen normalen 3,5mm Kopfhöreranschluss hat, den man einfach am Controller ansteckt. Das macht es leichter, wenn man weiter von der Playstation sitzt oder wenn man sich kurz samt Controller bewegt. AuÃerdem stolpert niemand über ein Kabel zwischen Sofa und Fernseher. Des Weiteren konnte ich kein Audio-Delay feststellen, was dieses Headset umso besser macht.Für knapp â¬30 ist das meiner Meinung nach das beste Headset, dass man casual Gaming kaufen kann. Klare Kaufempfehlung.
