Good headset, especially for the price point.

GAMDIAS sent me a pair of these to try out, and I ended up liking a lot about them. They are comfortable, but a little heavy (you get used to it), and the sound is quite good. Especially for the price.

The management software lets you customize sound profiles with a full EQ, etc. You however don't need any of that if you don't want, they work well right out of the box.

The mic is a little noisy and hot by default, i had to turn it down to about 45% to stop over-modulating... and there is -55 to -42 db of noise on the mic... but after tweaking the input volume, I've happily used the headset for everything from gaming to conference calls, and it's worked well.

Oh, and also plan on unplugging it when not in use, otherwise the lights on it stay on. Something that is really annoying. Other than that... I don't have anything bad to say about the headset after a few weeks of use.

If you're on the fence about these, I'd say just go for it. They work well, and for the price point, they are packed with features and are overall quite comfortable (I've used them for 8+ hours at a time without any issues).

This Turtle Beach headset is a very good value for the price - at the midpoint of the Turtle Beach lineup, it delivers quality sound, good mike output, and appears reasonably durable.  I gave these to my son who has used them for a couple weeks and he enjoys them for both playing on his XBox, as well as our home computer.  (He doesn't use the microphone on the home computer - not sure if that's something that can be added or not...)

The headset comes with several adapter cables and hook ups, so it is ready to use right out of the box.  There is an included amplifier which improves the sound over the standard Microsoft headphone set he was previously using.  He also uses them to listen to his iPhone, so that is an added benefit.

On the whole, this easily earns four stars as a good, solid set of headphones that are reasonably priced.  The only reason for not giving a fifth star is that they are NOT wireless.  However they are also significantly cheaper - so if you or your children really want Turtle Beach, this will fit the bill nicely.

Overall very happy with this headset, especially given the price. Scores very high for comfort. Clarity is good. Sync's easily with the iphone. A nice feature is that it provides audio update on battery life. Reason I did not score it a 5 is that sometimes it can be a little touchy adjusting the volume. Aside from this, I would definitely recommend it.

Very happy with this headset.  I purchased it to replace a much more expensive headset that finally gave out, but didn't want to spend that kind of money again.  Sound quality is great for the price, and though I won't use some of the special effects, I believe some will like the option.
I am using these for gaming, and can't comment on the fidelity for music applications, but my MP3's are more than satisfactory to me when using this headset.
I am a rather large guy, but the set fits comfortably, and while some have compalined about the large size of the built-in controller, I find it a good fit for my hand, and don't mind it at all.
Longevity is wait-and-see, but if they last at least half as long as my old headset, I will feel I got my money's worth.
One note for gamers who use TrackIR, the clip for the TrackIR pro does not fit on this set due to the size and thickness of the connector where the top wires and earphones attach.  I had to create a work around to get it to work by holding the clamp shut with wire ties.  I plan to purchase a third party equivelent for the TrackIR pro which will fit, so this is a minor issue to me, but something to consider before purchasing.

An excellent and reasonably comfortable, yet affordable Headset.  Works very well for computer sound including videos and music. A good choice for Skype telephone calls. Although you can walk a pretty good distance from your computer while talking on a Skype call or listening to music, unfortunately you have to be at your computer to place a call, disconnect from one, or to answer an incoming call. There appears to be no way from the Headset itself to initiate any of these actions. The Headset is quite comfortable, but for my liking, it fits a little too tightly. The range, sound quality and battery life are all excellent!!

Pretty solid for the price. Sounds fine and has controls for volume and a pause/play button on the headset itself. I'm not going to say their the best, but the quality to price ratio seems good here.

I picked these up at the recommendation of an acquaintance after trying the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Plantronics-GameCom-367-Closed-Ear-Gaming-Headset/dp/B001E45XT4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Plantronics GameCom 367 Closed-Ear Gaming Headset</a>. The Plantronics was quite nice save for a fatal flaw, the ear cups were too shallow. At only 1.6cm deep they caused a good amount of pain to my ears. The Fatality headset does not suffer this flaw, the ear cups are nice and deep and roomy enough for a slightly-above-average ear size. The detachable microphone is a nice touch, although I intend to leave it in so that it doesn't get lost. The band that goes over the head is somewhat narrow, however, and doesn't spread weight very well. It's not nearly as uncomfortable as the previous headset I mentioned, however, so with a slight adjustment every hour or so I get along just fine.

Sounds are quite nice, but nothing to write home about in my opinion. Though the equalizer in the controller software certainly helps. Build quality however I'm liking quite a bit. My big head can normally break a headset in a month or so, but these don't feel like I'm straining the limit at all.

In the image you can see that the band has two parts. The outside is two rigid wires, that seem like they would deform long before snapping (which is nice as that also appears to be where the signal is transferred between ears). The inner cloth piece is connected by thin retracting cables, so it will self adjust to you head when you put it on.

Grain of salt though is that I'm writing this as a fairly new purchase, so I'll try to remember to come and update this if they break sooner than I expect.

For the price, this is a decent headset.  The audio quality is not the best and lacks depth to the highs and lows, notably the bass.  And the 7.1 surround simulation, while adequate, leaves some to be desired.

Based on audio alone, I'd rate these 3 and a half stars, at most.  However, the included USB adapter, mic quality, comfort, and noise cancellation bump it up to 4 stars.  It's proven useful with my PS4, though I will be looking for a better set for my PC gaming and music listening needs.

So far the MM50-IP has been a pretty good headset from a company with a long-standing history of high-quality audiophile level products.  I say so far, because I have only had these for a couple of weeks now, so I can't comment on the longevity, which seems to be the big trouble of earbuds and head sets that experience a lot of rough use (see the problems with the V-Moda Vibe Duo's).

In general, the sound quality is on par with other earbuds that sometimes cost more than twice as much such as Etymotic, Bose and Shure.  The lows are full and round without sounding forced as in the cheaper lines.  Highs are smooth without sounding tinny.  The cord is a little noisy if you are jogging or doing other activities, so this may not be the best thing for all occasions.  Commuting and walking around, I experienced no excess cord noise.

The MM50's also feature have a very nice fit and finish, although the design is not very eye catching which is characteristic of the newer breed of headsets.  They seat very well in my ears and also include the standard three sizes of silicon ear "gels."  They have a "behind the neck" style asymmetrical cord design, which may or may not be your thing.  Not horrible, but it does make them somewhat tough to manage when wrapping the cord for storage.  The microphone is, as some other reviewers have pointed out, reversed and hangs on the left side instead of the right.  Takes a little getting used to, but not a deal-breaker for me.

One thing that is not mentioned in the description on Amazon (and other websites) is that these do feature the multi-function button that can also skip tracks (forward - two clicks, back - three clicks) as well as answer and end calls.  This convenience feature was a key for me.

Overall, this makes these a very competitive alternative to the more expensive replacements for the iPhone 1 and 3G.  The word is still out on the longevity and durability of these, but so far so good!

Overall, this headset is a good product for the money. The range is fairly good with no interference anywhere in the 300 square foot area that I use this headset in. There is no set-up required, simply plug in the dongle and power on the unit. I use this unit for gaming over Discord, Teamspeak, Skype, and Mumble. The battery life is adequate for my combined use off and on of about 4-6 hours a day. I've used this unit continuously for up to 6 hours with no loss of quality or indication of a dying battery so the battery life is great for this price point.
This headset is comfortable and cover your ears like winter ear muffs. The adjustability is good, although it is easy to accidentally mess up your fit when putting them on. The voice input is good enough to use for voice to text software like Dragon Naturally Speaking or simply asking Cortana a question in Windows 10. Using this unit in voice activated mode in Discord is a breeze with out background noise being too big of an issue.

Take home point: Great headset for the average/casual gamer. Low price point for a good quality product.

So far it has worked great. The sound quality is really good and the mic seems to work well as well. The range and the signal consistency seems really good, I walked about 20 feet (2 walls) and it didn't drop and the sound quality was still good with no drops or static. The audio control buttons are big and easy to control compared to tiny little buttons on some other brands.
My gripes include the build quality, it's a little too plasticky, it almost feels like a toy. The comfort is so-so, maybe I need to break it in, but at the moment it's a little uncomfortable around my ears. The power on-off is tricky, you have to hold it down for 2 seconds to turn it on/off, but if you press it a little too long (4 secs) it will unpair from the dongle. I did this by accident a few times and got annoyed, but I'm more used to it now, so I don't hold it down too long.
Overall, I recommend this if you're looking for a wireless headset under $80. The minor gripes can be overlooked for the price and function.

This is definitely a solid choice for a low price headset. I wanted something that had both in-game sound and a mic for chat (I mostly play COD). I really didn't feel like dropping close to $100 for a headset, so the PLa was an easy choice. The build quality is what you would expect for the entry level and they do feel a little fragile, but it should be fine with normal handling.

The sound is decent for the price. I have no problems hearing anything in the game and it even does left/right side sounds so you can tell where they are coming from (not surround sound but its still nice). You can definitely tell that the sound quality is a step down from the better headphones, but it does the job fine. I haven't had any problems with the mic so far.

One thing to note is wearing them for a while causes discomfort. It doesn't hurt while you are wearing them, but when you take them off there is a little bit of pain from it squeezing your ears. For me, its not really a deal breaker since these were so fairly priced.

This is a good headset for the price. Very easy to use and clear sound quality.

My only complaints are:

1) If I try to put the ear piece in while I'm in the middle of the call, because the button you use to answer or end a call is right where you need to push it into your ear, it disconnects the call.
2) There's no mute button. I use this for a lot of conference calls, and I wish there was an easy mute function. Of course, it's on me for not making sure that was one of the features.
3) The range is pretty small, especially if any walls/floors get between you and your phone.

If you're using this mostly to take calls in your car, this would be perfect and a great price for the quality.

I've been looking for a replacement for my now dead Logitech G330s (may they rest in peace), and decided to give the Sennheiser PC141s a try since there are a limited number of behind the head/neck headsets that seem like they'd actually be decent for gaming.  I've been using these headphones for about a month, and I'm content with them overall.

The sound quality is decent given how light the headset is, and the mic is more than decent.  The G330s sounded better than the Sennheisers, as there is a slight hollow/echo sound to the Sennheisers, but I got use to it after a few hours.  You'll certainly notice it when comparing these to some decent over-the-ear cans, but the same went for the G330s.  That echo/hollow sound (again, it's minimal) mainly affects the mids and highs.  The bass is decent, but just keep you expectations tempered.

My main concern is the weight of the PC141s.  They are incredibly light given the decent sound quality, but that lightness makes me worry how long they'll last.  On the other hand, that light weight is also a good reason why they're fairly comfortable to use during some long gaming sessions.  The only complaint I have is that they squeeze a little tight behind the ears, but I have a big head so you're mileage will vary.  I certainly have no problem saying that they're comfortable when taking the overall package into consideration.

It's a bummer that the behind-the-head/neck design is ignored by most vendors and it has been relegated to voice chat type units that don't have great overall audio quality, but those in search of a G330 replacement should give these a shot.  They're not quite as good as the G330s, but they're 1/3rd the current asking price of the remaining G330 stock ($100 is ridiculous for the G330s) and I find the sound and mic quality fine for what I paid for along with the weight/comfort of the unit.  I'd probably give it 3.5 stars if I could since there are some flaws, but I'm satisfied with them overall to give 4.

Note:  You will need to purchase a 3.5mm to USB adapter (one with both the headphone and mic jacks) if you want to use these via USB.  One is not included, but I was able to use the adapter that came with the Logitech G330 and haven't had any issues.

I have owned this headset for a few months now, and I would definitely recommend it for the price.

Sound quality - Personally, I found myself wanting surround sound, simply because I prefer the full immersion that comes with it. But if you either don't have the budget for that, or simply aren't picky, then this headset is a no-brainer. However, if you are planning on listening to music more than gaming, I would recommend buying a dedicated pair of headphones for music. Otherwise, the sound quality in-game is astoundingly clear.

Mic Quality - Simply put, this headset comes with the best microphone you're going to find in this price range. It rotates and bends freely, and once you find the right distance away from your face, your voice is heard crystal clear. Another plus is that the microphone isolates your voice and removes some of the background noise (although it should be noted that it does not remove all of it; if someone is violently rearranging silverware in the background, the microphone is going to pick it up). The microphone is definitely a strong selling-point for this headset.

Comfort - The material that most of the headset is made of is a strong plastic, giving it a very light weight feel. Once you find the right setting for your head, you don't even notice that you're wearing a headset. While gaming, I have caught myself reaching up to feel if I was still wearing it. The ear padding is very cushion-y and the shape of the ear cuffs support large ears. I have small ears, so there is plenty of room and I don't feel any disturbance. The cushion on the top of the headset also ensures that you don't feel any pain from the weight (even though there is barely any weight to begin with).

Durability - Despite the material it's made from, this headset is fairly durable. However, if you're going to be throwing it around in fits of rage, I would not recommend it. If you're a more peaceful gamer, this set is for you. The braided cable is also a plus, especially for cat-owners (or owners of other, more exotic animals... I'm not judging).

Aesthetics - If you're worried about the red accents not matching your setup, worry no more. When you're actually wearing this headset, little to none of the red is really visible. The design is also visually appealing, with nice, discrete slanted angles. It would look nice on a headset rack.

Overall, this headset is exceptional for its price range. Personally, the only problem I had was the fact that I wanted surround sound, which has nothing to do with the headset itself; in this price range, decent surround sound headsets are non-existent. I would recommend it for anyone who is on a budget and wants a nice headset. But if you play games a lot, have the money, and want that complete, immersive feel in your game, I would pay about $30-50 more for a surround sound set, perhaps the Logitech G35 or G930. If you want to spend a huge amount of money, I would recommend the Steelseries Siberia Elite. But for the price, this stereo headset is the best around.

For the price, this is a fairly advanced brand-name high quality bluetooth headset. It may not have the best noise suppression, but certainly adequate for the price.  The only complaints I've had from callers was related to wind noise. It fits comfortably - I wear glasses and there is no discomfort. It has voice-guidance, confirming power/on-off, battery capacity and redialing. I found it difficult to slide the power switch on/off with one hand - if you try to hold the earpiece your other fingers are on the volume control. The volume adjustment is not continuous, but has five distinct levels. I had no problem finding adequate settings for variously noisy environments. There is one missing feature that was not mentioned anywhere else in these reviews - it does not pass the phone's ringtones to the earpiece. You only hear a beep-beep tone for incoming calls. It does pick up music, keyboard clicks, and other in-program sounds but not ringtones. I confirmed this with Plantronics tech support. As I have distinctive ring-tones for some callers, I was very disappointed in the lack of this function.
