Customer Reviews

I preordered this a few months ago, finally got it and I can finally do away with all of the regular Xbox live mics, this thing works great. I didn't need a stereo system mic as I have a wonderful surround sound system, all I wanted was a quality headset to chat with, and this is it. It is more comfortable than I expected it to be. The sound is clear and people have no problem hearing me. The boom is easily adjustable, but not flimsy. People did not hear me breathing when kept at normal distance from the mouth, and they did remark the voice quality was much more clear.
Also, I like to wear these on my right ear, although every mic pic always shows them on people's left ears. No problem because it is adjustable for either or. Wish it was cheaper than $25, but then again, I won't have to wait for Xbox live communicator and subscription packs to go on sale to always replace the cheap mics. Every other Xbox mic I have had has either quit working because of faulty wires or because of the cheap connector. This one has a solid connector that did not have to be moved around to get rid of static. The volume / mute button portion is about midway down the wire with a clip and again is quality construction.
I'm not one to spend money on accessories, especially ones that come free with the device, but this was worth it. Like they say about beds, if you're going to be using it a lot, might as well spend for the quality stuff, I'm sure my ear agrees.
Have any questions I'd be glad to answer. Will definately be buying a second one for my son.

I wanted to be the first to write a review on this product. I have been waiting 3 weeks for this to come out. I received it today! I did some research before I ordered this item. Everyone says Turtle Beach is 1 and they wern't kidding! This headset communicator beats all communicators and was worth the wait! It's lightweight, very comfortable for those long gaming sessions, you can hear the game sounds through both ears due to their design, it's left/right ear compatable, and has a very rugged and durable cable unlike the Microsoft ones. Crystal clear communicating. This is our 4th headset, first by Turtle Beach, and I gotta tell ya.....I'll NEVER by a different brand from now on. 10 outta 10 Turtle Beach. Thanks for making me a believer!
