How sturdy is this headset? I've heard that some parts of it are fragile. Also that the squeeze very tightly. is this true?

OK, First the headset is great and sounds fantastic. Make certain that if you purchase the headset that you plug it in a usb 2.0 not 3.0 like I did. It's a little tight but not that bad.It's pretty sturdy.

They are somewhat sturdy, if that has any meaning at all. The speakers themselves are held onto the headband with plastic hinges, nothing about it is metal aside from the screws, so they may not survive more than a few falls. The mic boom's hinge will wear out easily. The headphone itself does have a fair amount of clamping force, however it should be comfortable for extended use IF you don't wear glasses

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 have not had any issues with the headset being fragile or too tight. If you leave the headset long enough they will cause discomfort but so will anything making contact with my ears for hours.

They feel sturdy to me. If you are reasonable careful with it and don't repeatedly drop or throw it around I think you won't have any problems. If you don't take care of them they would probably start to break at the swivel points. Just don't sit down hard on them and swing 'em around by the cord and you'll be fine. They are well made in my opinion. As for tightness - not an issue unless you have a wider head (mine is ~6.5" wide ear-to-ear). The cups will fit large ears comfortably too.

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.

The headset is very sturdy and no part on it has worn down since i bought it so it's a very durable headset. When you first get it, yes, the headset is a little tight but after a couple weeks the padding conforms to the shape of your head and becomes very comfortable.

Yes. Mine broke too. After about 2 years of use. The headset never left the desk where the computer is located, and they were never dropped or handled roughly. The cracks in the plastic seem to appear from normal use. My pair cracked and fractured so thoroughly it could not be repaired with glue, the pieces were to small. The joint cap seems like it's just prone to break. Logitech refused to replace or fix them, even though they are under warranty. This was super disappointing to me, as I've used Logitech products for years, been happy with their driver software, and tend to prefer the look/feel/usability of their stuff over competing brands.

yes, it's not heavy at all and fits well. you can adust it. I forget i have it on but it's great for being hands free... I have ordered this over and over. Plantronics has a wonderful replacement program as well if it does break. they will replace it. It's my favorite headset and I keep buying phones that will fit it because I like the headset so much. The sound quality is excellent

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.

They do not accidentally get pushed. I love the headset. The only thing I find difficult is adjusting the volume...they could make that easier.

First, did you order the correct headset for the device? Second, were the ends of the headset folded sharply? If they were then you probably have a "pinched end". The "tearing" of wires inside the jacket could be the cause of malfunction. I woukd ask for an exchange.

Mine works great and still works. If u drop the headset it breaks very easy.

Basically the entire thing is plastic. When I first noticed that I did not want to buy it. After I purchased it I noticed that it was a very flexible but durable plastic. I've thrown this headset a few times and dropped it on the floor and it's somehow still fine. I'm a very clumsy person so this came as a surprise ;). If you do end up buying this headset, don't let it out of your sight and don't take it off your desk. Treat it like it is very frail plastic.

Sorry...I've never had a problem with my headset. Maybe gently tapping at the top to release it or try to use some tweezers. Wish I had a better answer. Best wishes.

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.

Don't know exactly what you are referring to....my headset broke within about 2 weeks and I crazy-glued it back together. Works fine but can't move it around. Don't know if that helps.

It seems fine to me. I've had a.few conversations using the headset and have had no complaints. Although it should be noted that I tend to speak a bit loud.

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.

Sean, After owning this headset for the time that I have, I'm not too sure that I would invest the money on them for kids. The reason for my opinion is simply that I have found these to not be as rugged or durable as I initially thought. I'm 53 years old and treat these things with care. however, I was taking them off at work the other day and the right side earpiece snapped off. This is due to the VERY thin adjusting blade made of plastic that holds the earpiece to the headset. That is a pretty weak design element. In my opinion, kids won't be as gingerly as an adult with such a delicate of equipment. Plus given the age of the youngsters, I do have some doubt that they will fit.. but a "suggestion" for you, If you get these Glue the adjustment bracket to the headset with very strong glue (3M 2000lb) and these should last for a long time.

Hi Arminda I purchased this headset for my son last Christmas to use with his PS3. He loves it and uses it on a daily basis. It hasn't given him any issues. He says that he can hear clearly and his friends can here him as well. It was priced well, and I'm glad I took a chance on these and would do it again.I live in the U.S. and my order arrived fairly quickly and I didn't use prime shipping either. Hope my response helps!!!!!!!

Yes, you can return the headset for a new one, I did, if your purchaser is still under warranty. The problem is that the ear loop attachment detail is weak, and the ear loop will break off rendering the headset useless unless you like to use your hand to hold it against your ear. Mine has broken off twice without any abuse whatsoever. It appears that many other purchasers have had the same misfortune.

Mr. Fry I just saw your question but please stay away from this crappy headset. I bought one last week and upon arrival when I tried to turn it on the power switch came off in my hand. I wrote customer care all she could tell me was to try and power it on using the play button and that didn't work. I had to contact Amazon for a refund and it only then customer care wrote me. MY ADVICE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT. Don't touch it with a LONG STICK.....
