The sound quality is quite good and the headphones are very comfortable. The separate volume control for chat and game sound is very useful. The price was also good since they were bought on a Black Friday sale. On the downside, when I went to hook them up I discovered I needed to purchase an adapter for my XBox (other options given were not practical for me). The adapter was not too pricy but it required another trip to the store. If I had to do it over again I'd save my money and get a wireless version. The wires included with this unit are long enough to stretch across the room but you are always having to deal with 20 feet of wire getting snarled, etc. Coiling and uncoiling the wires is a pain and I should have gone wireless. If you get this item make sure to get the adapter to plug in the back of your XBox at the same time.

The quality of this headset is very good. Everything feels solid, the microphone picks up my voice very well, though it seems a little too sensitive at times, because it picks up every sound in my house, including my old, super loud gas furnace about 15 feet away and that can annoy anyone that I'm in a party with on Xbox Live. Sound is great, picks up tons of little details while playing anything from Call of Duty to NHL14. Not sure if it's just a cord or if it's the connection of the wire to the ear cup, but every so often I've had some small issues with not being able to hear people or them not being able to hear me, and I have to mess with the wires a bit. This review was prompted after I bought my brother a set of these to replace the ones that he had that broke after more than a year's use and abuse. This is the same set, as he was happy with them and the price was reasonable compared to others. The problems that I mentioned before were from my headset that I've owned for over a year now and still works, albeit with a little hassle every so often. Great quality, took some abuse over the year+ that I've owned mine, and I'll probably keep coming back to Turtle Beach, unless someone like SteelSeries blows me out of the water with something at a reasonable price. Lastly, the only thing that I wish was different about these was that I wish they had removable/replaceable earcups... In the warmer months they can get a little hot/sweaty/dirty and I wish I could swap them out with new ones, but they appear to be permanently fastened.

I bought this headset during Black Friday. For the price I paid I would say it is an excellent buy. My original headset that came with the Xbox broke so I was looking for a gaming headset were I could get all the game sounds and mic sounds without needing the tv volume to compliment. I play late so it helps to have the tv on mute. The headsets are comfortable and volume adjustments are really handy. The game volume can be controlled from the headset so you can hear it as loud as you want or just hear your chat conversation if playing online. The only downside was that you need to buy a separate audio adapter for Xbox to get the game audio. I ended up just using the audio out output on my tv to get the game audio. The instructions don't tell you this but I figured it out since I didn't have the adapter.
