Great headset for a beginner and/or a casual gamer
930508
The Emarth 3.5mm Stereo Gaming Headset is a great headset for a beginner and/or a casual gamer like myself. My husband, on the other hand, is a huge gamer. He currently plays on the PS3 and PS4 game consoles. I am more of a PC gamer I can play SIMS all day, for days on end (if I had the time) and not get bored. Between the two of us, we found the following:

Pros:
Lightweight
Comfortable (ear pads)
Sound quality (headphones crystal clear)
Price (less than $25.00)
Volume control dial
LED lights
Additional cord attachments
Cons:
Friends on PS4 stated that he sounded unclear (microphone)
Shortage in cord (in a week; headset was stored in its packing unless in use)

After reading all of the other reviews, I decided to take go ahead and purchase this headset.  I've owned a few headsets off and on for PC gaming, including the Ear Force X12.  I absolutely love PX4.  It's the first set I've owned that I felt worked fairly well right out of the box, the wireless setup was easy and the audio quality is superb.

I would highly recommend this headset to anyone who just wants a great sounding, comfortable, almost 100% wireless headset.  I don't talk on the PSN much, so after I connect the headset, I usually just unplug the cord between the controller and headset, enjoying the freedom of wireless surround sound while sitting on my couch.  I am highly anticipating the future PS4 Bluetooth patch that will allow this set to be truly 100% wireless, but this is as good as you can get right now.

My only complaint is that there are a few pieces of information missing from the included instructions, it's pretty obvious it was all printed up long before the PS4 actually launched, so there are no instructions included.  You may need to pair your headset with the base after you take it out of the box, and instructions on how to do so are not included.  Additonally, there is no information included in the box relating to what the 6 different surround sound options are (these can be rotated through using the base) nor what the tone and limiter buttons do.  Luckily, all that information can be quickly found on the Turtle Beach website at this address: [...]

I do not feel like this headset is made with low-quality materials.  It is great quality for the price.  If you get this headset for your PlayStation or Xbox, I do not think you will be disappointed.

This is my first Amazon Review, I hope it is informative!

I bought the plantronics GameCom 780 headset to be used with video-making on my YouTube channel. I was a little skeptical of the headset as it was only 50$ but seemed to be good quality and have dolby surround sound. But I took the chance, and GEE I am happy I did.
My headset came in about 3-days time (regular shipping!), it was very nicely packaged with some bubble-wrap and was in its factory shipped box. When I opened up the box everything was perfect, nothing seemed to be broken.
It took me about 1 minute in total to download the software for the surround sound and hook the headset in. It uses a USB cord, so it can be used with your ps3, but the mic is not compatible with the ps3, only the sound.
The side buttons help a TON. When a family member walks in on me, I can quickly mute my mic with the buttons on the left cup. The volume control is also very smooth and works nicely, as when you raise the volume there is a sound and vice versa.
The surround sound button turns a light blue when you turn it on and makes a "ding dong" sound when it is turned on.

Overall it is a great headset, mine is still in perfect condition.

Pros:
- Buttons on ear-cup are VERY helpful
- The ear cups are plush and have a velvet feel, they are thick making long gaming sessions, or work sessions a walk on the beach.
- The USB cord makes it very easy to switch to and from consoles or computers.
- The surround sound works amazing
- The wiring, and overall headset is of high quality, and feels strong.

Cons:
- The velvet-ish fabric on the ear muffs does collect dust/hair so I suggest having a clean enviorment or a lint brush. Its not a major detail but some people like it clean.

My rating? 5/5

Right off the bat, this headset is a very solid deal for the price; you definitely get more than what you pay for. There were, however, a few minor issues preventing me from giving it a full five stars.

Pros:
 Listening Experience - These things honestly sound amazing. Whether it's gaming, listening to music, talking to a friend of discord, etc., they sound great and deliver everything clearly, in addition to working with Windows's spatial surround sound.
 Comfort - This headset is pretty comfortable. They're not very heavy, so you won't get a headache from wearing them too long. The muffs completely cover the ears.
 Microphone - The microphone is pretty solid. I've testing it by Discord calling myself with two accounts and can confirm that it picks up my voice clearly without issue, in addition to friends telling me that I sound clear. No weird background noise/buzzing or anything like that. It's pretty good about not picking up background noise super audibly. It will, however, pick up keyboard clicking, particularly if you have a mechanical one as I do. I usually stay on push-to-talk, so it's a non issue or me; most microphones would pick that up anyway. My favorite thing about the microphone is how it completely folds up into the side; you can put it completely out of sight when you're not talking to someone and prevent it from obstructing your view.
 Sturdiness - While made of plastic, these will not break unless you intentionally tend to do so. The top can also be bent and twisted, so they are quite flexible. I however, would not suggest slamming them down too roughly.
 In-Line Controls: The control panel on the cord is quite handy. It has the ability to mute your mic, mute your headset, and raise/lower the volume. The shape is a bit odd, and it sometimes gets stuck on the arm on my chair due to where it is placed on the cord; but this is only occasionally and if I change my sitting position.
 Aesthetic - I absolutely love the way these things look. The white and blue look amazing together. The logo on the side of each ear slowly flashes on and off in blue. Love it.
 Customer Service - The customer service is great. After about 9 months, the left side of the headset partially gave out. The headset comes with a one year warranty on purchase. I contacted the seller about the issue, and they replied within the next 24 hours and happily sent me a completely new replacement free of charge that arrived three days later.

Cons:
 The plate on the right side of the headset was loose and rattled quite audibly if I moved or titled my head. I fixed it by supergluing the corners and coloring the glue with a Sharpie. Visually, I honestly couldn't tell a difference. This could have been damaged during shipping, and not all of them may have this issue.
 As aforementioned, the left side of the headset partially gave out after nine and a half months of use. As far as I know, this was not an error one my part, as I'm usually careful about not putting them down too roughly. I was, however, almost constantly using them, so it may have just been overused. I tried to remedy this by making the audio in the left side louder, but it still sounded off.

To put it shortly: if you're looking for a quality headset around the $20-$30 range, I would definitely recommend these. While I haven't tried many other brands/headsets in this price range, I have to say that this is a very good headset for the price you pay.

Let me start out by saying I'm hard of hearing.  The original headset that came with my Xbox One was a nightmare for me.  My cousin introduced me to these beauties and I fell in love.

-Between the chat/game volume adjustments, the overall volume settings, being able to hear yourself and adjust your mic + shut it off if you don't like it, etc - this headset is fantastic.  If party chat is too loud or the game is, it's an easy fix.  Want a little bit more boom - turn up the bass.
-The part that actually sits on your ears is comfortable and after 5+ hours of gaming, they don't bother me.  Even if I have my glasses on, it's not bad.  I've been through so many headsets that I just gave up on because they hurt after a few hours.
-The mic is a little sensitive but can be easily fixed by moving the mouth piece away from your face a tad.  And hey, you can use them as regular headphones by removing the mic piece all together!

My only complaint about this headset is that sometimes you have to reboot the controller (and occasionally the xbox itself) in order to have it register being plugged in while in party or game chat.  Not really a big deal, but sometimes it can get a little aggravating.

One of my best purchases to date, hands down.

As a DJ, avid gamer and podcaster I'm always in the market for new and decent quality headphones. I've owned and used many headsets over the years (several from Turtle Beach) and there always seems to be something new for PC, gaming consoles, mobile devices and DJing.  As I always enjoy testing out new headphones here are my thoughts on the Turtle Beach - Elite Pro Tournament Gaming Headset;

Pros

+ Foam ear-cups and flexible headband are comfortably padded and were easier to wear for longer periods, thanks to the ProSpecs Glasses Relief System.

+ Compatible with PS4, X1, PC and Moblie Devices.

+ Simple and well integrated volume/mic dial controls.

+ Crisp and clear audio quality.

+ Sleek and solid plastic build quality.

+ Decent noise isolation.

+ Relatively easy set up.

+ Removable mic.

Cons

- Mic quality is mediocre and can be prone to picking up background/room noise.

- Fit may be too tight for larger heads.

- Cable could have been a bit longer and I would have preferred it to be flat, not round

- Ear-cups aren't terribly breathable and tend to get hot after long periods of wear.

- No wireless or illumination options.

I wear headphones a lot and at the $199 range, the Turtle Beach - Elite Pro Tournament Gaming Headset justifies the overall asking price.  The audio quality was generally impressive for both games and music.  The adjustable audio controls help you find just the right balance to fit your game-play or listening style.  The majority of games I've played so far have had crisp and clear highs, mids and lows without ever sounding dull, distant or hollow.  I've been playing multiple games with all resulting in quality sound.  I feel this headset is a worthy investment at the higher end range.  I'd recommend this headset to anyone who wants a quality gaming headset with decent sound across multiple platforms and doesn't mind spending a bit extra.

For a wireless headset, the set-up was easy and quick. You simply plug it in, pair it and send the audio feed in.
The headset, made of flexible plastic is done well and has an onboard rechargeeable battery that lasts quite a while, probably at least a few days with a good 4 hours of gameplay.
The headset glows blue, with a customized brightness level and the microphone is detatcheable. Be careful not to lose this!
The buttons are well placed and are easily assessable. The earpad cushions are plush and easily worn for a few hours without pain. It's good to have a headset that has a good amount of presense and pressure.

The sound quality is fantastic, right on par with good audio headsets. There is a strong amount of bass, yet the mids and low remain even more prevalent for those explosions and bullets. The high would be it's weaker point if I had to say, however it is still there and will suffice for female vocals. (for example)

Overall, it's very solid and remains one of my favorite headsets, especially when paired with the Recon 3D interface, allowing more customized and modified sound.

However, if I had a tip, be careful at the swivel point, mines became a bit loose after time and had me a little worried.

This gaming headset is simply brilliant. The audio quality is comparable to a decent affordable set of studio headphones. The removable microphone is also very convenient for when you want to only use the headphones for listening to music. All of the accessories that come with this headset make it a no-brainer for anyone wanting a great set up for their PC, PS4 or Xbox One (stereo controller adapter required for the Xbox One), or even just for listening to music or watching things while on the go. On top of the value, they are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. They aren't heavy and the padding is comfortable.

I don't have much experience with gaming headsets, but this headset is very good. The build quality is top-notch, it's comfortable, the buttons are convenient, and it's wireless. Typically, headsets this good don't come wireless or durable. Also somewhat unusual, you can use this headset even while it's charging, and you can use this headset with your PS3 as well as your PC. It uses the same size USB as a PS3 controller for charging (thank you Sony for making everything the same size). Now, for the sound quality, it's great. 7.1 surround sound on a wireless headset is amazing, and battery life is about 7 hours on a full charge, more than sufficient. And if you're planning to play games the entire day, you can just plug it in while still using it. I've used this headset for Call of Duty and Mass Effect 3, and the sound quality is top notch. Even music from my computer sounds good. It's a very versatile, high quality headset, and a relative bargain to boot (relative meaning compared to other headsets). I'm super happy about this purchase. =)

First off here is my review of this headset that I did on YouTube in case you prefer reviews in audio/video form.
[...]

Wish I hadn't of sold mine honestly.... I sold it to a friend who's headset went out on him.  I was just trying to do him a favor (sold it for like 10 bucks after owning it for 6 months or so lol)

This is the best gaming headset under 100 bucks I've ever used.  I actually used to have a set of Astro A40s and prefer this due to the sound being almost as good as the Astro's but this being FAR more confortable and lightweight.  Also it's just super simple to set up unlike the Astro's.

After some hours of research to find a gaming headset that had the performance I desired and that was within my price range, I started looking into this one by Skullcandy. One of the features that I appreciate the most is that it is a wired headset, and as such doesn't require charging unlike the other headsets by the manufacturer, which is ideal for someone who doesn't have a dedicated time in their schedule to game and need the headset to be ready when they can fit it in. This headset has been delivering great performance since I bought it, and shows no sign of that changing anytime soon. The sound quality is as good as I could reasonably expect from a gaming headset. I typically use the mic for online tabletop campaign voice chat, and the other players haven't had any trouble understanding me. It's also quite comfortable, even when used for extended periods of time, as it generally fits well and doesn't keep in heat like cheap over ear headphones. Even at full price, the SLYR headset is an investment that has good returns, and anything lower than MSRP is a steal. Very much recommended for any potential buyer who is looking to invest in a quality headset without paying an arm and a leg. The only negative aspect is the number of different cords used for connecting to myriad devices, which for some (like myself) are slightly confusing and require more detailed explanation to set up than is offered in the manual. I would still gladly purchase this headset if I had to do my search all over again.

I love this gaming headset, I'm using it with a PC for World of Warcraft.  Previously, other headsets would cause me headaches after about 20 minutes of gaming, even some of those from the high-end price range.  I've been able to wear this headset for 6 hours of gaming without pain!

The sounds are clear and crisp with a an adequate bass. I'm fond of the music in World of Warcraft and the headphones do it justice especially considering the price range.  I've also been able to hear game sounds I wasn' able to hear before, a nice treat.

The mic is able to pick up clearly on my voice and according to my gaming friends on Ventrilo, my voice is clear without a lot of background noise.  The mic is also close enough to my mouth to be useful but not so close that it would be annoying as other headsets have been.  It also easliy flips up out of the way when needed.

I recently purchased this headset for myself for gaming purposes. One friend recommended it to me and I was anxious every day until it came in the mail. This product works beautifully with my PC and I love it. The sound quality is far better that my old headset, as well as the microphone. I did notice after my first 3-hour session of wearing them, my left ear especially hurt. I quickly fixed this problem with readjusting them every 1.5 hours or so. This product is great and I recommend it to anyone looking to buy a headset without spending a lucrative amount of money.

I've had this headset for a few months now, thought this would be a good time to give my impressions of the headset.

The good:
This headset has great sound quality, I play games and do music editing as a hobby and you can clearly hear both the direction and the individuality of the sounds that play through it.
The cord is wrapped in nylon to prevent damage, and the nylon is very smooth so you have no trouble untangling this from a jumbled mess of keyboard, mouse, and other cords.
The in-line controls (volume and mute) work instantaneously, and a light on the controls lets you know whether or not mute is active.
The mic boom is attached to the headset with a rotating joint, which means it does not detach so you can't lose it. If you are just listening to music and don't want to have the mic boom in your field of vision, just rotate it up and it nestles firmly behind the left speaker.

The bad:
The Nylon does eventually wear out and you will find that it makes kinks in the cord that are difficult to get out because of how strong it is. It can be corrected, therefore I did not deduct a star.
Sometimes the mic will stop picking up and force you to unplug the USB cord from your PC and plug it back in, but this is likely a problem with my setup rather than the device itself.

Overall, this is a great headset for the price, and it is stylish enough to want to show off to your friends. I would compare this headset to the Triton AX-720 in terms of sound quality.

This "gaming" headset is the first one I've ever owned, Ive always just had regular headphones when I was playing video games, and I'm not disappointed! The first thing I noticed about it was how NICE it looked. Then, when I put it on, how comfortable it felt, and finally, when I started using it, how effective it is, I'm not a hardcore gamer but I play Battlefield 3, Gears of War , and assorted CoDs. You can hear footsteps coming up from behind. Although you cannot actually tell which direction the footsteps are coming from, it's still immensely helpful as it gives you a heads up. Although I do not have another headset to compare these to, I have a feeling these are about as good as it gets! Especially for the price. Many people complain about the static found in the chat with other headphones but I only experience that if I turn the chat volume all the way up; something I wouldn't do anyways.
If you are trying to decide on a headphone since there are so many to choose from, you need these!
I would definitely recommend these to any gamer. You won't be disappointed!

I purchased this headset about a week ago with middling expectations, not really knowing what to expect. On one hand, it's a Turtle Beach, and on the other hand, it's only $30..After using it for one week I'm going to tell you my initial reactions.

Upon getting the headset I crudely tore through the packaging, just like anyone else would. The headset itself doesn't have a $100 feel to it, but it feels solid and no part particularly weak. The cable is insanely long, especially if you're splitting it into two cables, one for the mic and one for the audio. Not really the best thing if you're on a laptop, but on a desktop you probably won't notice.

The first thing I did once getting everything out is plugging it into my desktop. (I have to split the cable, my case doesn't support both in one cable.) I plugged it in and immediately booted up Left 4 Dead. After a couple seconds of tweaking in-game settings, the mic worked perfectly. I've heard in some reviews that the microphone is too sensitive and picks up background noise, but that's not the case for me. (Note that even if this is true there's software that can adjust this, and most games have mic sensitivity settings built in.)

The microphone itself is excellent. It picks up on everything you say and gets it to the other players very quickly. It doesn't cut in and out like some lower end mics will, and it won't pick up ingame sound or keyboard presses like laptops do. When you push it up out of the way it stays firmly in place and doesn't slide down, and using the mute/unmute switch on the cable has yet to fail me.

The sound quality is the only thing I can say I'm not super impressed with. When you first put them on, you'll notice a distinct lack of deep sound and bass. But once you're in the game, you probably won't notice. The sounds move clearly from side to side and it's crisp and clear.

Overall, this headset it excellent. I really don't have any cons for it except for middling sound quality. A reccomended buy, especially for your budget minded gamers.

I bought this headset on a flash sale from Newegg for 40 bucks. I was very happy with this headset. I travel for a living and I go through quite a few headsets usually because either the plastic breaks in my laptop case or the usb cord goes bad. Fortunately this one is built with a metal band and the microphone folds in so it is much less likely to get bent or break.

  While the build quality is superb in my opinion, the sound and the microphone quality is average. However there are new sounds in movies and games that I have never heard before. The bass boost button is VERY overwhelming, but does not distort. Changing the bass level via windows will fix that. If you download the driver from the manufacturer's website, it provides virtual surround. I can not tell you if the surround really works. It does not seem to work in my opinion, but it could be due to my bad case of tinnitus and this being my first virtual surround setup.

  The most important pro of this headset is the comfort. This is by far the most comfortable headset I have ever owned. It does not give me headaches due to being too tight on my head like all my past headsets. The one con is the fact that the cups seem to be airtight, making me sweat around the ears a bit.  Some people complain  about the fact that the cups do not swivel. That does not bother me at all. I have a somewhat large head, my hat size is 7.5.

  Overall, this 40 dollar headset is built more like a 90 dollar headset and I wish I bought another for a spare when it was on sale.
