3.0 out of 5 stars Overall just OK, July 31, 2006

For $80, I was expecting more. These things are large, and the included stand is lightweight and falls over. They fit comfortably on my head, but the plastic feels cheap and the band isn't as tight as I would like. I have a normal sized head, so the cranium isn't the issue.

Sound quality is on the high end of average. Extreme bass doesn't sound that great when cranked up, but at reasonable volumes, it is just fine.

If I had to do it over again, I would probably buy something else spending a little more if necessary. If you need wireless headphones that also allow you to talk on XBOX live, I don't know of a competing product that beats this.

I needed a headset/headphone combination so I can play without disturbing other people while not missing out on vital game sound effects and music. This seemed like the product to get, so I did so.

Pros:

Wireless... sort of. You still need to hook up a wire from headphone to controller for mic functions.

white matches 360.

headset/headphone works well.

Xtremely comfortable fitment.

Easy installation.

Cons:

Need to cross R w/ L as the other reviewers have said. Even the turtlebeach site says this.

The wireless distance isn't far. Anything that get in between sender to headset will cut off sound, such as a hand wave...etc.

Sender is bulky and is not a hide away unit.

Left ear is louder than right.

In Gears of War, my setting for the effects is down to 1, music off, and chat volume max. My chat gets drowned out by game effects still. For example when the train rolls by I completely can not hear my team chat...

After a few weeks my mic broke. Need to send in for RMA.

I've since reverted back to the oem headset.

I just purchased this today and was a bit apprehensive after reading from other reviewers about the sound cutting out. Once I set everything up and started playing Gears of War and FEAR I was extremely satisfied. The sound never cut out no matter how loud I turned it up. I did have the very minor issue that someone else mentioned about the audio being reversed. Just had to place red with white and white with red to fix it. Hopefully the company is reading these posts to get the wiring correct for the next batch! It's very comfortable and light so you won't even feel like you're wearing anything while playing. Very satisfied with the headset.
