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!

This thing is amazing. I love it, completely sold on the idea of having VR. I was hesitant to buy it, but the amazon deal with the gift card was just too good of a deal to pass up, it allowed me to get a 1060 6gb for 166$ shipped, and it all arrived fast enough to where I didn't have to wait too long to run my new Rift headset. I'm excited to say it is exactly what I wanted and then some. I still get a little motion sick playing a couple games, but I feel thats because i'm not used to it yet. Its disorienting to play a game with a lot of movement but not be moving at all in reality.
I would also recommend not playing games with the headset before bed, for as soon as you take the headset off and shut your eyes its like you're back in the headset again looking around but you're not (at least thats how it is for me) Games like Dreadhalls and Eve Valkyrie are awesome, and I'm looking forward to getting the touch controllers and getting into games like Superhot VR and Climb, or Windlands, Honestly, just about everything on their store appeals to me as its a completely new territory for me in games.

The headset itself is very nice, comes in a hefty box with the headset, the sensor and the xbox one controller, all neatly tucked away in this very nice box. The material its made of feels very light, almost deceptively so when you pick up the box. The Sensor is made of very sturdy feeling metal, quality construction and everything is smooth and shiny with a bunch of "Dont expose to sunlight" stickers.
Since I've got a windows 7 machine for the time being I couldn't get the xbox one controller to recognize on my PC, but once I upgrade to windows 10 I heard that won't be an issue any longer.
Also super hyped about the capability of streaming xbox one games to the headset with a win 10 machine.

PROS: Super light, Very comfortable, the cable isn't too hard to manage, but you have to be aware of it, buying it with the gift card combo amazon had was a smart choice for me as it allowed me to upgrade my Pc for cheaper as well.

CONS: The headset gets pretty warm after extended use, 45 minutes of play and my face felt like it was melting and the screen in the headset was warm enough to feel on the outside of it when taking the headset off.
Theres a LOT of setup involved in it, I feel like they should really try to streamline the process involved in making an account and linking it to certain games, I felt like I had to jump through a hundred hoops just to play one game. ONCE THE SET UP IS COMPLETE ITS VERY SIMPLE AND VERY FUN, but it just takes a lot to get to that point so be aware you're gonna be sitting there for a bit just trying to get it working and registered.
Motion sickness is a real thing, and as a kid I used to get motion sickness in cars, but no longer, however this headset has made me motion sick a couple of times, mostly from games that move far too fast for me at the moment, Warthunder was the biggest issue, but i've seen it with Dreadhalls and Eve Valkyrie. I've heard this goes away after a few uses of the Rift.

Will edit when I get the touch controllers and post a touch review as well.

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.

This headset is awesome!  Sounds very nice and comfortable to wear for a few hours.  I had a few initial problems, but they were all configuration issues.  After I disabled every other sound device on my computer (so the headset would  always be default) and moved from a USB 3 to USB 2 port (to fix the few seconds of cutout every half-hour or so) I have had no issues.  I blame the cut-out issue on my PC because it was an early USB3.0 motherboard.

It really blew my mind how great these sound; in games you can really get an idea of what direction sounds are coming from.  The 'vibration unit' is a bit silly but it does all a little more depth to the bass.  30 year old casual gamer.

Update on 4/30/2017:
After two years of use, this set is showing virtually no wear.  This is after playing 503 hours of grand theft auto 5, 133 hours of dirty bomb, and lots of tv shows and movies.

Temptation from its sleek and sophisticated design is what initially caught my attention while researching headsets online. I love playing music and games for extended periods of time and tend to use a headset all day at work. I decided to try, "The Specialist," to see if its product features match up to its pretty face.

Here's what makes it not just something nice to look at and actually something quite special:

First, the comfortability of the headset is amazing. Feels like soft pillows on my ears while in the middle of a warzone in enemy territory.

Second, the circular star shaped buttons on the side are a convenient feature for quick volume and mic control. No one wants to have to pause the game to adjust the volume and lose an arm or match in the process.

Third, sound quality is crisp and REAL. I can listen to anything from jazz to punk rock, my sister on Skype, and Nazi Zombie K-9s, without losing the sound quality of the instruments, my sister, or the bark.

Fourth, the headset folds up to fit nicely into its own carrying case, which makes it great to tag along with you anywhere, i.e. plane rides, trains, buses, roadtrips, camping, long lines at theme parks, etc....

Lastly, "The Specialist," is all I could have asked for from Nox to provide in a multimedia playing headset. Just wish it came in blizzard pearl, periwinkle, or pink...I'm just saying!

Built for extended wear and long hours of gaming/music playing/online chatting, I wouldn't mind falling asleep in its pillowed earphones after a long night of Halo in the barricades.

These have everything I wanted in a headset for gaming. The audio quality is fantastic, the boom mic is excellent, the surround sound effect is quite good, and the whole thing is extremely comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions. I've actually forgotten that I was even wearing it after a while, so that attests to the quality of the design.

I've been using a Sades SA738 gaming headset for a while now, and I love it.  At under $25, I think it's a steal and gets my high recommendation.  Extremely comfortable, over the ear, and acoustically similar to my Sennheiser HD 598s (not as good, but also no where near as expensive) in that there is nice high end treble without any muddy bass.  The SA738 is an analog headset, though, and requires 3.5mm jacks for the mic and headphones (but you can get a USB dongle for under $10 that works great, which is what I did to use the mic on my Mac Mini).

Upfront - I recommend the SA738s over these if you like a flatter frequency response from your headphones and/or want an analog connection, but these are a good alternative if you like more bass and/or prefer a USB connection.  If you like these, there are multiple product pages with difference colors and prices, so be sure to search Amazon for them.

This LETTON G1 set is physically identical to the SA738 on the outside, albeit in different colors.  I wanted to try them because they are a USB version, which can be very handy for a lot of folks because analog audio jacks aren't as common as they used to be.  The G1 also comes with a vibration function, which the SA738s don't have.

Being the same design, I find these as comfortable as the SA738s and have absolutely zero complaints about how they feel during extended use.  The ear cups and head band are very nicely padded, and the ear cups are plenty big to completely fit over my ears without pinching them.  I definitely give these high marks for comfort during either just listening or gaming - they are lightweight and don't make my ears sore.

The USB connection does simplify things compared to an analog set, with only one connection to make - however, it does mean that you can't also use these as headphones on another device like your phone.  You can adjust the volume either on your computer or on the headset itself using a rotary dial on the back of the left ear cup.  I really like that dial because I can quickly adjust volume during gaming without having to go into my computer settings.  You can't turn the lighting off on these (the SA738 light will only turn on if you plug in the USB power plug), but you also won't see it, so not really an issue to me.

The vibration function is pretty subtle, IMO.  There is just one button to cycle though the settings, with no indication of what setting you're on.  I can tell a slight difference as I push the button, but nothing dramatic.  I don't think it's a reason to either get these or not get them.  Some headsets have vibration functions so strong that I start to feel sick, but these do not at all.

The bass on these is definitely stronger than on the SA738s.  Sometimes, I prefer that - other times, I don't.  It's really personal preference.  Again, the SA738s are a flatter response like my Sennheisers, and these G1s are more like a lot of other gaming headsets that I have (and really like).  I think that the sound is quite good on these, and I would probably prefer it had I not gotten used to (and now prefer) my Sennheisers.

Overall, I certainly like these.  I think that they have a number of good qualities to them.  I'd choose the SA738s over these, as they are less expensive (and about the same price even if you get a USB dongle with analog audio jacks), have a flatter response, and are equally comfortable.  If you like more bass, though, these would be a better choice for you.

(I received a free sample for an evaluation and honest review.)

I really love this headset so far. Purchased and received last week.

I have been using a pair of Sennheiser HD555's with a 1/4" f to 1/8" m headphone adaptor and plugged into my speakers (setup via stereo). Mic solution: wrapped the standard XBox mic around my neck. Good sound, chat worked after adjusting in-game volumes. Basically it worked and sounded good enough, but the transition to a proper, solid gaming headset is night and day.

PROs:

-The first thing I noticed is how lightweight this headset is. It doesn't bear down on you and the cups don't press on your ears too hard. The cups also do a good job of encompassing your ears.

-Fantastic sound. After a few adjustments (in-line volume lower, SCU volume up), I managed to get this to an appropriate sound level. I did a few Wager Matches in Black Ops to break them in and further configure them. Worked great. Tried Bad Company 2. Wow. Just awesome. Crisp sounds and the bass booms when it needs to. This set has also proven that I will never be able to go back to regular stereo sound, either. Digital is phenomenal.

Side note: I found that turning off the "3D Sound Expander" makes it sound muuuuch better, in my opinion. Perhaps I'm using it wrong, but it was disorienting at times and seemed to create unnecessary echo. Might be better for movies perhaps.

-Configurable to any set up. Has a nice set of manuals for anything you may want to connect the headset to. Plenty of adaptors and the main cables are plenty long to connect with most setups.

-Sturdy design. Even though it's light, it doesn't feel cheap. Mic is tough and flexible as well.

CONS

-Lots of cables. My setup right now has three cables coming out of the SCU and three out of the in-line box (one connecting to the XBox controller for voice). This is probably a product of being so configurable.

Side note: This is actually still a pro for me because I don't want to deal with wireless shenanigans (mainly staying on top of rechargable batteries)

-Mic sensitivity. I haven't done any in-game chatting yet, but I have tested it out in party chat to see when it picks up. I noticed that I had to have the mic pretty close to my mouth for it to register. Again, this may bug people, but personally I do not find it bothersome.

-Also, be sure to know that if you want to use Digital, you will need some sort of Optical output on your Xbox. I was lucky enough to already have the VGA adaptor to game on my PC monitor and that has an optical output.

Just love this headset thus far.

I came across this Limited Edition Uncharted 4 Gold headset while searching for one to use, not only for my PS4, but for all of my multimedia needs as well. These do not disappoint. This headset comes complete with wired and wireless capabilities with all of the adapters you need for everything from your phone and tablet to your computer and console. With battery life being one of the most important aspects associated with wireless headsets, I generally get around 8-10 hours of continuous use before needing to charge them. From my experiences with this headset, it charges rather fast, most of the time I just plug the charger in and come back about 1.5-2 hours later to a full battery, and, as you can probably tell, any micro USB charger will work, not just the one that is included in the package. What really impressed me about this headset was the sound quality, along with the ability to customize the sound settings to achieve the exact sound you're looking for, through the free downloadable PS4 application. No matter your sound preference, you are bound to find, or create, one that fits your needs. My one and only complaint, although extremely minor, is the audible tones heard while muting and unmuting the mic. With my specific headset, when muting the mic I hear a higher pitch tone, and when unmuting the mic I hear a lower tone. Through the many devices I have owned in my life I have come to associate higher tones with a setting being enabled, and lower tones associated with settings being disabled, instead of the opposite. However, like I said, this is a minor complaint and is based on my personal preferences and I do not believe that this will turn people away from this headset whatsoever because it is rather easy to get used to (in addition to the on-screen pop-up when paired with the PS4). All in all, this is a great headset, especially considering its price point. If you have been thinking about these for a while, or just discovered them, I would definitely recommend these to everyone.

I am thoroughly satisfied with this headset.  I just got it yesterday and I cannot set it down.  I am a real person and this is a real review.  For under 30 bucks this headset is defiantly worth it.  It is my first VR headset so I don't have another headset to compare it to, although my experience to the introduction to VR was exciting.

I read a ton of reviews on this product as well as some others.  I did my research before I made my choice.  Before I bought the Wearevr ET1 headset I read some reviews that others were having the problem with the clamp that hold their phone into place.  The clamp was too tight and the power button and volume buttons would press either turning off the phone or turning the volume down.  All I can say is with my product it came with 3 small pads to stick where ever your phone rests in the headset so the clamp won't press your volume or power buttons.  my phone sits in snug and the volume and power buttons do not ever touch the sides of the headset.

The lens are great.  they aren't glass but are very clear and work just as good.  the adjustable aspect is wonderful.  I can adjust it to my sight and then when my girlfriend or son wants to use them they can adjust it to theirs easily.  there is a QR code on the box to sync the headset with your phone.  however, I didn't even use the code because the headset on "Default Cardboard" worked fine.

the unit is very comfortable.  I was on it for well over 3 hours just watching videos and playing games.  I barely felt the weight of it.  I was also concerned about the nose piece being uncomfortable.  How the head straps fit, it actually takes off most of the weight on your face.  The padding around the eyes are comfortable and it also doesn't get too hot either.

The field of view is good.  of coarse it depends how big your phone is wither you get a panoramic view or not.

Over all this is an exceptional product for intro to VR.  Sure there are probably products out there that might have a better Field of View, but for the price and quality.  I don't think you can beat this buy.  and the unit just looks great too, very "futuristic" and sleek compared to the others out there on the market now.

Also.  I paid the full price for this product.  I did not receive one free or discounted.  This review is completely honest and 100% my own opinion on the product I bought.  I just wanted to let you guys know that.  I get so frustrated sometimes when I'm researching a product and about 90% of the 5 star reviews are 5 stars in my opinion because they got it for free.  This product was not free for me and I just wanted to give it the credit it was due.  good job on the development TOP XEN TECH keep up the good work!

This headset is an absolute must for any hardcore gamer, especially if you play any of your games online.  I have found these headphones to be superior not just to all of the cheap lightweight headsets on the market, but to other pure headphones that I have tried as well.  The sound quality is excellent, so much that I can hear little details with these headphones that I can't hear otherwise.  The vibration feature is everything that it is advertised to be and more.  It's one of those things that I don't want to live without now when I play my games.  It can be overpowering if you turn it up too high, but if you fine tune it, it adds a subtle layer of intensity to any first person shooter or any game with lots of explosions or heavy sounds.  The microphone is too short, but I haven't had any problems with it.  It's a little bit like using a cell phone.

My only problem with these headphones is that the durability isn't what I would have hoped for.  I am on my third set in about three years, but I would never buy anything else.  I have never come close to finding anything else that augments my gaming experience like these headphones, and if you are still in doubt, I highly recommend them.

I was totally impressed with the quality of the sound, but was quite happy with the ability to use this headset during gaming, because the included cable allows me to turn off the sound when I need to (which is fairly often if you're an experienced gamer, believe me). My head is large, and this is one of the few headsets that actually fits me without any problems. It has nice padding overhead as well as comfortable padding around the ears. To marry this headset to my PC, I had to use an adapter cable to split out the sound from the microphone because my PC has separate inputs for each. You can see it in the video, and buy it on Amazon. But if you have a newer PC with a combined audio jack, you may find such an adapter unnecessary. You may even find a cable with a proper mute button instead of just a volume control.

I'm glad the AILIHEN folks sent me a sample headset to review, because this one has become my favorite. I really didn't expect that, but there you are. Thumbs up for a great headset.

I've been using the Turtle Beach i60 premium Wireless Gaming Headset for almost a month and here is what I found:

Fit  These are top-of-the-line tailored headphones. The leather earpiece cushion fits fully around my ear, insulating it from outside sound and even though my head tends to be on the larger side, the headphones fit with room.  I find that they stay comfortable for 3-4 hours at a stretch, at which point I find I need a break from any set of headphones Ive used.

Sound - The sound  is amazing with the transmitter, though you have to stay somewhat close to keep the static from acting up in the background.  There is a surround sound button and they are literally amazing in surround sound.  The Bluetooth synced nicely with my iPhone (the set has LED lights that blink so you can visually monitor the synching) and I love wearing them out for commuting, walks, etc.

Gaming  I've played a variety of games using this headset and the play is awesome whether it is car race, adventure, war game, etc. The surround sound is truly 360 degrees so when you play you get a depth of perception from the audio that lets you listen and locate, the source of sounds, hazards, and dangers within the games with precision. There is good balance in the sound and total immersion with the headphones on, so you can enjoy the play without distraction.

Calls  Using the mic for calls took a bit to get used to. While not as clear as the phone, I find that the convenience offsets the loss of call clarity if I just want to answer a call quickly or have abbreviated conversations during the gameplay.

Battery Life  Very long battery life, this has not been an issue at all in the month that Ive used them.

If you want a durable, high-end set of headphones to enjoy your music and gameplay these fit the bill.

I purchased the 420x as a replacement for my TB X42's and could not be happier. This headset is amazing for the money. The fit is snug, especially compared to the X42's but after some time wearing them I found them very comfortable. The sound is great-if you're an audiophile I'm sure you can nitpick the sound apart-but I'm just a casual gamer and I thought they sounded great. The mic boom easily attaches/detaches and the boom adjusted easily. It will take a bit of time getting used to the button placement on the headset (the X42's use a transmitter plugged into your controller) but I found no issue with the placement of buttons. My only gripe would be the charge cable is rather short, no more than 2 ft. It would be nice to have had a longer charge cable but I am planning on using the cable from my controller which is significantly longer. If you are looking for completely wireless with good sound quality I highly recommend this unit.

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!

The main reason for this purchase was because of all the interference my previous headset had.  I have my xbox/PS3/Pc in my room away from the wireless router but I do use wireless for all of systems and Pc.  In my quest for a great headset I scoured the web for something I could be happy with. That happiness lay with the Turtle beach XP400. I was hesitant to spend so much on a headset but I decided to take the plunge and risk it all and I'm glad I did. I use this for all my systems and my Pc with a Bluetooth adapter. (Great for using a voice chat system in multiplier games on the Pc like League of Legends and DOTA 2 I use Skype/Ventrilo) but is heavily used for the Xbox 360.

Lets start with main issue there was barely any interference noise or if there was any I'm pretty sure it was my imagination from using my previous headset for so long. I have tons of wireless products around that I was sure it would cause some interference issues with it. The headset is dual Frequency so it works at 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ so you can avoid all the interference you would get on the regular 2.4GHZ band. I didn't hear any constant hiss or pops that I had become accustomed to which was a relief because I think I was starting to go deaf.

Setting up the headset was super easy and very simple so you don't have to be some tech genius to use it. The issues I had which seem kind of petty for now (I'm not the only one with this issue) but will be annoying in the future is that while its great the headset is rechargeable its unfortunate that you can't change the batteries yourself. If I'm paying $200+ for a headset I expect it to last a while and I mean 2+ years.  If your headset lasts that long there's a chance you will need to send it in to have the batteries replaced by Turtle Beach for a FEE if not you have to buy another pair or do it yourself if at all possible :( (NOT COOL).

This Headset comes with a lot of nice features such as the mic gain control this changes the sensitivity of the mic. Another cool feature is that it automatically matches the voice chat and in game audio so you can still here your party members no matter the sounds coming from the game.  There's also the preset equalizer modes which lets you change certain aspects of the sound such as Bass, and pitch or you can set it to hear sounds exactly as they are from the systems. There are four preset modes. Another cool feature for me at least was that you can connect your phone to it and you can use it while you still continue to game on. There are button on the side which let you control some settings and the mic can be switched out. It does come with a receiver box and a plugin to use for the 360 controller.  The Ps3 and PC can be used with Bluetooth if wanted. One feature that I think is amazing is that the headset beeps to let you know your battery is about to die 10  minutes before it does. My previous headsets warning was shutting off mid game.  Overall the headset is pretty amazing and is worth every penny. Just be sure to take care of it and don't smash it when you have a 5 kill to 29 death ratio :( multi-player deathmatch in Call Of Duty ---> its not made of steel.
