 Turtle Beach Headset September 28, 2008
The headset is great but the people are TERRIBLE in their shipping time. It's the worst service I've ever had online. I ordered next day shipping and got it 2 weeks later and didn't get my shipping refunded. Seriously, buy from someone else who'll ship it on time and not when they feel and with the shipping speed they feel is right.
 cracked in 2 months August 16, 2008
I bought these to use with my xbox 360 and loved them at first. Then I noticed that one side was cracking (thinner plastic part on side) and when I put them on, the part that was screwed together (see the pictue to see the screws) pulled apart and I couldn't wear them. I checked the other side and it was cracking in the same exact spot. I went to their website and checked out their warranty and was surprised that the "warranty" doesn't seem to cover anything at all. They lasted about 2 months. What a disappointment.
Did not meet expectations July 1, 2008
I was looking for a headset for night time gaming on Xbox live, and this seems to be the recommended model. The wire clutter was expected, but mind you, it has three cables (mic, sound, and USB for power) that are each 10 feet or so, so it could get a little crazy.
When plugged in there was a constant hissing sound even when I turn the volume down. As another reader suggested it could have been the controller design, or simply the poor materials chosen to build the electronics for this thing.
My biggest upset was with the chat feature for xbox live. Since the headset sports a great bass output, EVERYONE's voice turned into this deep mumble that did not resemble speech, even after I toyed with all the different possible settings (volume, headset vs. speaker output, etc...). I just could not understand a word that people were saying through Live. Needless to say I returned it.
In a brief summary, great sound through the headphones (although a little hissing), but the terrible way the chat voice is brought out makes this a no no for multiplayer gaming, which is why I bought it in the first place. I highly recommend trying it or buying it somewhere where returns are simple.

I bought this to control the volume during my daytime and night time gaming sessions. This is the first headset I have purchased. At first I was impressed, but over time I grew uncomfortable with it.
First off, it is just akward to set up. It is powered by a usb adapter and takes up space. Secondly, I do not feel that it is constructed to last through the rigors of gaming. Sure, you will most likely be fine if you simply game at you house, but moving this around to game at lands or tourneys will most likely break. The mic cord is flimsy and sometimes it will buzz when plugged into my controller. This is unacceptable.
Other than what I have mentioned, this headset is not half bad. The sound is stereo, which is not bad, but it is nothing special. You can not tell if something is behind you, beside, or in front with these. The sound is not bad. Not great, but better than your average tv speakers.
Not a bad purchase if you are dying for a headset, but if you want something with a little more quality in sound, comfort, and construction, save up for a different headset. I am giving this three stars for stereo speakers, poor construction, and usb power. Other than that, not a bad buy.

I just got these headphones the other day. I love them! They have great sound and are very comfortable. I like the fact that the game and online chat volumes can be adjusted separately. I sometimes have a hard time hearing my friends, with the standard Xbox 360 headphones. Now, I can hear them crystal clear and they say my voice sounds much more clear as well. The only negatives in my opinion are: more cables and if it is very warm in the house, you will sweat around the ears. Well, global warming is a scam anyway, so crank up the air conditioner and the sweating won't be an issue!
I have a high end home theater system and I wondered if I would like using these headphones, instead of my 5.1 system. Well, 5.1 sound is amazing however, for me being able to chat and hear people is very important, especially when teamwork is necessary in a game. You can use the headphones and home theater at the same time however, it's pointless considering you are wearing headphones. There are also times when playing quietly is a necessity. Using these headphones at night, when people are trying to sleep is great. No more family and friends tossing and turning all night, due to explosions and gunfire! Just the occasional outburst from me, as some knucklehead gets the better of me. Lol! For $49.99, they are a great deal. Give them a try.
