If you are going to be stationary and not moving,you will be fine. Close to any noise and it is not very good at all.

Sound quality is good. Great value for the money. It should work well for you.

The sound Quality was not good and the durability was not good either. If I were you, I would buy a higher priced one.

It's actually really good...surprisingly so. Ill never buy a high priced one again

To be honest, I can only answer subjectively, based on my research into the same question. I can say that, coupled with the Soundblaster ZxR, it is by far the best sounding headset I've found.

I appreciate the reviews, and have my decision: a 2nd 510 it is. I've had a 510 for about 1 and 1/2 years, and it finally fell apart. I admit I treated it a bit rough, throwing into my bag, where it would get tossed around and beat up. But the sound quality never waivered, and I loved it the entire time. It was probably the 5th headset over the years, and it was the only one comfortable, stayed on without having to mess with it, and had excellent sound quality. Now that I need to buy again I was evaluating upgrading to the 520, but can't imagine it would be any better, except perhaps more slim-line (but not worth the other benefits in my view. I'm going to get another 510 - I love it! I appreciate the reviews, and have my decision: a 2nd 510 it is. I've had a 510 for about 1 and 1/2 years, and it finally fell apart.

I bought it as a gift. I have since heard that it is an awesome headset and performs better than others.

This is actually one of the better built headsets out there. My biggest issue with it has been the really crappy driver and software support. Sometimes sound channels reverse in the middle of gaming sessions but I understand this doesn't effect everyone. No fix or updates for this, so consider this before you buy. Otherwise, though, I really want to like this headset because the building materials are top-notch and should last years if you don't abuse.

I strongly don't recommend this headset period. If you are considering buying, reconsider. There are plenty of better quality headsets out there, cheaper and more expensive, this one is just bad all around. It sounds very poor.

They are pretty durable, I've dropped mine over a dozen times from about stomach high and haven't had any damage. They are designed and built really well. They have a break away cable at the ear so if you get lost admirering you audio fidelity and walk beyond your 10 ft long cable it will just unconnect instead of breaking your headset. Also great sound for the price. As long and you don't have a dog chewing on then they should last.

The best headphone for gaming is hands down the $135 AD700/AD700x. By far. Nothing else comes close. Not even $400+ headphones. I'd honestly be surprised if a $1000k headset could match it.I read that the $200 q701 was a close 2nd. So I tried it. If I didn't know better I would have said the q701 was a $60 headset, and the ad700 was a $1000 in comparison.

I still love this headset. I own 3 other turtle beach headsets. The only other I can recommend would be the X12 headset. It has good sound, just not as good, but it's cheaper, too.

The headset is very sturdy. its not flimsy or bends or anything it was well made and i know it will last for at least 2 years of everyday use. My previous headset with constant use only lasted 7 months. but this will long surpass my previous headset. in short yes it is sturdy and it fits comfortably i can wear it for hours with no problems my ears feel cozy and my head dosent feel compressed. Hope this review was helpful. this product is well made and well worth it

I use it for Dragon speaking. It has good quality sound. For gaming you might want a full headset for stereo sound though.

Well, as I have only used the G35's and the Plantronics 780's I can only speak on those. The G35's are by far the most comfortable headset I've ever used. If they didn't have the TERRIBLE FLAW of breaking at the joint on the earcup I would still be using them and only them. The sound is excellent. The microphone is near perfect. The Plantronics are nice so far but nearly as comfortable and they do not fit over my ears so ambient sound is an issue. They are def. better made than the G35 though.

I've had to replace my Logitech once due to bad battery performance *lasted 5 months the first time* under guarantee. The second pair lasted exactly the same lenth of time, and the store gave me my money back. The headset is the best I have owned, but the battery life is awful. I wouldn't chance buying another set, so I bought a set of Asus ones from Amazon, and they are excellent. AND a lot cheaper!!!!

I have had my headset for about 2 years with no issues. Battery life is still long but not quite as good as when it was brand new.

This is an odd question. This is overall and extremely solid headset. I suppose if I had to pick one thing it would be the fact that the padding in the cups isn't a mesh material, so it doesn't breathe very well. But seriously, you won't find a better PC gaming headset for the price.

Thanks for responding and commenting on this headset. I will definitely get one.

I use these for gaming and don't have a problem communicating, as far as hearing myself, depends on how loud the game is really. At around medium volume Id say yea, you can hear yourself decently well. I haven't really paid much attention to this in the past so Im kinda guessing, Ill try it out tonight with special attention to this and give you an update. And just to add, these are amazing for gaming!
