Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: 1. Nice cushioning at top of headset. 2. Comes with wireless USB adapter for PC. 3. Pairs with bluetooth devices and wireless PC adapter pretty much instantaneous. 4. Sound quality is decent 5. Headset works wirelessly during PC gaming as advertised unlike the SoundBlaster EVO ZxRs. 6. Headphones look a lot better than the SoundBlaster EVO ZxRs. 7. Removable flexible microphone. 8. Battery life is great. 9. Volume levels are decent for a wireless headset. 10. Headset is pretty light. 11. Microphone picks up and outputs sound clearly while gaming according to my friends. 12. Voice indicator tells you when battery is low. Cons: 2. The wireless range of headset isn't the greatest. I'd say the signal can span across 2 mid sized rooms before cutting out. The range on the the SoundBlaster EVO ZxRs are a little better. 3. Sound quality is on the flat side. No bass here. My Audio Technica ATH-M50s have more bass and they aren't really bassy. 4. Headband adjusters are plastic and not metal like most headphones in this price range. 5. The ear cup cushions need to be thicker as most peoples' ears will touch the inner portion of the driver unit causing discomfort. 6. No control over the auto-power off feature. 7. No sound EQ control over game mode presets. Right now game mode 3 and 4 sounds good for me. 8. No noticeable change in sound quality with dynamic range compression on or off. 9. No skip track controls on headset... or maybe I haven't found them yet. 10. No noise-cancellation feature. 11. Included charging and 3.5mm jack cables are way too short.

I have had these for a little bit now. First of all they have great sound. I am able to wear them all day due to the padding. I use then for when I am at work and when I come home I game with them. The microphone makes it ideal for work calls or use while gaming. I am able to charge them one a day at most (when used heavily) during lunch and use them the rest of the day. The main way I use them is with the USB dongle. I can also connect to my phone then via Bluetooth and listen to both the phone and the computers audio at the same time. I ended up dropping my laptop (on the USB dongle) and was able to get it replaced through the manufacturer no problem. I think the brand is solid and while a little pricey, worth the cost for how many hours I have used them.

Before I go over my experience, I want to say to those bent on buying a pair of Z300's no matter what anyone says....BUY A PROTECTION PLAN FOR THEM! ---------------------------- That said, I bought my Z300's for $190 six months ago to replace a pair of $70 TB PX22's I bought six months before that. I found them to have a wonderful sound and a comfortable, yet somewhat awkward, feel with how they sat on top of my head. I was constantly changing settings and muting my mic putting them on or taking them off, which starts to not be joke worthy after a while. However, I was satisfied with them. The most recent issue I encountered was a repeat of the same break/fracture in the adjustment arm, just above the screws at the earpiece on one side, I had previously encountered with the PX22's. The Z300 and PX22 adjustment arm design is identical:\ I didn't bother TB support with the PX22's as I couldn't find my receipt from that purchase. I did contact support regarding my issue with the Z300's and they responded on a Saturday ... KUDOS! Fortunately, for me, while responding to supports follow-up, I not only found my receipt for the Z300 purchase but I also found a Geek Squad Protection Plan was purchased:) Instead of having to deal with emails and shipping hassles, I walked the broken headset in that same day and walked out with a quality Corsair Vengeance H2100 wireless headset at half the cost and with all the listening pleasure and more=) While their support was very responsive- I will not be a returning customer for Turtle Beach and cannot in good conscience recommend their headsets based on back-to-back near identical failures to two separate models. NOTE: I treat my gear with the respect of one who wishes to get as much normal use out of them as possible. I never dropped them or extended them beyond the little necessary to slip them off and it was telling to those who know me when they heard I was going for my THIRD headset inside a year.

Bought these to replace my broken Logitech G35 headphones. Surround sound and volume better than the G35s. Set up was quick and simple!

It's a great headset when you're at or right around your computer. I smoke outside the house so it tends to cut out when I walk about 6ft from my computer to the carport. I would buy this again because it serves it's function very well.

I upgraded the gear for my home office. I spend hours in online meetings. The microphone is clear. No wires interfere with my ability to roam the home office during conferences. Sound is great and the set is comfortable, even after hours of use. A neat feature that I don't use often is that in addition to the connection to your system via WiFi, a second connection can be made to a phone or MP3 player via Bluetooth. Independent volume controls are provided. Charge from USB lasts all day. Only minor quirk is that the USB transceiver needs to be unplugged and plugged back in between boots on Windows 8.1. Worth the price. Would recommend.

This headset is certainly not worth the price with its short comings. The mic doesn't seem to pic up my voice very well in popular voice chat services for gaming. This is with all receiver volumes cranked up as high as they can go. There is no fix on the forums and when you go to the support page to contact turtle beach it is blank. These are however really great for sound and comfort, best I've had on these two things so far.

this headset was great when it worked. i had it for only two weeks then the left ear piece stopped working. but that was the only negative thing i can say about this product. great sound great feel long battery life but the pear i bought broke with in two weeks :/ but best buy gave me no problem when i went to return it for a new pair of the same headset

After cutting the cord on several expensive headsets, I decided to try wireless. I stayed away because of the short battery life and other reasons. I'm a glad I changed my mind! This headset is incredible! The sound alone would be enough of a reason to purchase them, so the other features are a plus! There are lots of ways to customize the headset for sound and voice. All the buttons are laid out well. Once you get use to where they are it's even better. Set up was as simple as plugging in the module and boom, done! The battery life is incredible. I can easily go through an 8 hour gaming session with no concerns of mid game silence. I highly recommend these!

Excellent headphones, with great sound quality and freatures for the price. However, the inserts, for adjusting the headphones to your head, are made from thin plastic in a weak design, which causes them to break easily if they are adjusted out and you expand them to take them on and off your head. They just require some reinforcement in the area that slides into the top piece, to allow for the constant flexing without breaking. With care, you can keep them from breaking.

Good sound quality and love the wireless feature!!

Good sound quality (granted Dolby surround sound was installed which Turtle Beach just released Dec 2013) without paying $300.00 for ASTRO gaming headset. Exceptionally easy to set up. Decent Bass with Movie or Music mode. Headset reception with 5GHZ WIFI is very good at 10ft but get slightly choppy at 15 or 20 ft with a wall barrier. Overall, I would recommend this to a friend.

Easy set up and easy to use but limited in what you can use it with. Still a good product for multitasking as it can connect with your phone and PC at the same time which is useful when I'm working on my computer and don't want to stop to take a call.

This headset uses a custom receiver not just a standard bluetooth receiver. While you can use this as a wired headset (the mic is removable) it really shines as a surround sound compatible wireless headset. If you have a soundcard made in the last 5 years your computer should have no issue using the simulated surround that the system uses. It is based of Dolby Digital for you audiophiles. It should be noted that I am a Best Buy employee that just happend to buy this pair of headphones.

This is a great wireless headset for gaming. There are lots of advanced controls I haven't tinkered with yet, but the based on my use for gaming and listening to music, I love this headset. It's pretty comfortable. The range on the wireless is about 20-30 ft for me (through 2 walls). It quickly reconnects when I go out and come back in range. I need to charge it about every 3 days. I charge it while using it, but the cable is a bit short. Some people might not be able to charge while using it if they don't have a USB port close by. The Bluetooth is nice if you want to take calls without having to stop gaming or listen to music from your phone. The first headset I bought the power button did not work so the unit did not turn on. I went back to best buy and exchanged it, and they work perfectly.

Turtle Beach headset has great sound quality for gaming and great sound quality for listening to music.....an excellent purchase.....

Overall, I'm happy with this headset. I've had it for a while now, and I use it every day. I did notice that sound quality isn't as nice as my previous wired headset, the DX12 set. I love that the headset also has Bluetooth to connect to my phone so if I get a call I don't have to take my headset off to answer. This is a good affordable wireless surround sound set.

Headset is a little bulky and heavy. Comfortable to wear for not too long. Sound quality is very good but you cannot move too far from the PC

Great headset for the price! Bought the after glow and hated them. Razer Tiamat they weren't very solid but sounded good. Then i moved on to these. I loved them from the moment i put them on. The sound is amazing and they are comfortable. The mic is removable which doesn't really add any benefits but its just kinda nice. The battery life is not great but you can charge it while you use it so problem there. There is wheel on the front that controls if you can hear your own voice on the mic and that was a little annoying until i figured it out. I don't know why you would need that feature but it there.

I love these head phones! The sound is amazing and I love when I'm gaming.
