Great sound for footsteps on call of duty. Great for music, pc, movies, videos etc.

Son loves them! Great sound quality for gaming or music listening!

So far, this is one of the best headsets that i have purchased. Very clear and loud

Love the amp and the superhuman hearing. The ease of use and very well made

Great headset. Very clear sound and it is light on your head.

The sound and build quality are excellent. I would highly recommend.

Great headset can hear every footstep also has a great price tag

Nice price and good sound i like this Headset Easy setup

For the money I expected more. App is glitchy. I have to use the app and reset almost every time I use them.

I have owned Turtle Beach headphones since I upgraded to my Xbox 360 back in the day and have always loved them. I've had three sets since then, both wired and wireless, and only one of them ever broke (and that was a Battlefield rage throw so was my fault), So while in the past they may have felt a bit plastic-y, they held together well. These Elite Pro 2 headphones though, feel like a tank compared to the older models. Despite being more robust, they are easily the most comfortable headphones I have ever owned (and that is including some of my really high end audiophile headphones). I just wish the sound signature matched the comfort quality. Comfort: The padding for both the earcups and the headband are great. I don't have much hair on the top of my head any longer and a long play/listening session usually starts hurting there first, not these. I made it all the way from the Bubble to the center of the galaxy in Elite: Dangerous and never once wanted to take them off. They didn't get hot either which is surprising considering how sealing they are. Maybe they are filled with unicorn underfurs or something. I don't know, but they are crazy comfortable. Sound: This is where the Elite Pro 2s really let me down. Now despite being an audiophile, I have a realistic expectation of what gaming headphones should sound like. Also, I realize that sound quality is highly subjective and what one person loves, another finds to be horrible. I unfortunately fall into the later group. As I've gotten older, my gaming style has changed somewhat and instead of Battlefield and COD, I'm more of an Elite: Dangerous / No Man's Sky / Minecraft kind of player now. I play to relax, not get fired up. Most likely, the sound signature that Turtle Beach has adopted for these headphones, are tuned for games like Destiny or Anthem and the like, and since I'm just playing quietly, they sound very boom-y and echo-y to my ears. I've played with the presets and the equalizer in the app (more on that later), but haven't found a sound I can live with unfortunately. I also used the headphones off of the amp to see if that's what is introducing the boom-y-ness or if it is the design of the headphone itself and I think it is a little of both but probably a little more the fault of the headphones themselves. That is really disappointing to me, since if it was the amp, I would just chuck it and keep using the headphones because they are so comfortable. The headphones seal so well with the soft cushions and the closed back of the shell just make these things a bit to bass heavy and echo-y for me. They probably make explosions and gunfire sound super visceral but I'm just not that gamer anymore. Set-Up & App: Set-up was easy as pie. Took the amp and the headphones out of the box plugged the amp into the Xbox with the USB cord and then the headphones into the amp. A quick switch of the sound settings and I was good to go even without the phone app. One thing I appreciate about the amp is that it is not some light plastic thing but actually has some heft to it and it stays in place nicely. I downloaded the app to my iPhone, and connected the phone to the amp via bluetooth, which was simple and just like hooking up any other pair of BT headphones recently. The app gives you options for turning on the super-human hearing feature and for playing with the bass/mid/treble mix. I tried a bunch of different options for the equalizer; everything from a flat response to bass/treble high to mid high and everything in between. The only sound feature that did anything that I liked was that super-human hearing setting, which seems to draw out certain frequencies that actually made things sound a little more 'realistic'. Still didn't make up for the rest of the sound signature though. I'm also disappointed in the fact that I have to use a Bluetooth connected app to make changes. I would prefer sound signatures and the equalizer and the chat/game blend to be physical buttons on the amp and not an app on my phone. It makes it much easier to adjust on the fly, though it does make the amp compact. I know that it says that you can use this Bluetooth connectivity to also take calls and such while gaming, but that is the last thing I want to do while playing a game, and isn't the big joke nowadays that no one actually uses their phone to talk but just to text or post via social media? Speaking of social media, if you are a game streamer, there are some features of the amp that make it easier for you link your sound to the streaming platform and a few extra tweaks in profile 3 on the app. I don't do or watch streaming so I didn't pay too much attention to those features but I did notice them there. Conclusion: For me personally, these headphones are probably only 3-stars and that is only because of the sound signature. Most other gamers are going to think these are a solid five-stars since they are geared more for mainstream gamers and not old dudes like me (and I'm not THAT old). I compromised and went with a four-star rating, because there is a lot to love about these headphones, especially the comfort aspect. If they were to come out with an open backed version that was not so bass heavy, and instead were a bit more neutral, I would snatch them up in a heartbeat and probably even wear them to listen to my music as well. If you are in the current mainstream gamer category or are buying for one, you/they will LOVE these headphones. If you are a gamer heading out to pasture like me, you might think differently. You owe it to yourself to give these Elite Pro 2s a try though, because they are probably the best gaming headphones out right now, certainly the most comfortable.

Love them but wasn’t aware of having to have a computer to upgrade before using!! Once was done they work great

This thing is absolutely amazing! I like to listen to music while I’m gaming, which you can do with this and you can alter the loudness of each thing so you can turn up or down volumes to make them where you want them

This is a good headset for gaming. My son has only complained that the wire tangles easily.

My son's other Turtle Beach headphones broke and they no longer sell them at Best Buy, so we went in search of another pair of quality headphones. These are awesome!!! Great quality, sound, and fit.

I picked up this headset to replace an older outdated wireless pair that was not staying connected and was constantly disconnecting. Out the box they felt very solid and of a good quality build. They have some weight to them and do not feel cheap. I have played several hours with them over the past few weeks and have been very satisfied. They have allowed me to hear things I didn't notice before in a lot of games, especially FPS like COD WWII and Forza Horozon 4. Connecting them to my XBOX ONE X was simple enough and only took about 2 mins once out of the box. I had no issues getting them connected to my phone via Bluetooth to use the Turtle Beach app to change the sound settings. My only gripes would be that I wish I could make them a little louder and they aren't wireless which has it's own pros/cons. The cabling that comes with them is long enough to sit a decent distance from the TV but it can still be a bit of an inconvenience but at least they don't have to be charged. When comparing to my previous Logitech Wireless headset those are my two biggest gripes and I am still tinkering to see if I can get them even louder. I have played extended sessions 3 to 4 hours and they are very comfortable and don't bother me even when wearing my gaming glasses.

The headphones are great when they work but are a bit difficult to use. The Bluetooth connection to the app does not work well and causes issue a lot of the time in relation to changing settings.

Out of the box this was easy to setup and start using. In my opinion the sound quality is great. I have gone thru quite a few headsets and these are comfortable and sound great. You can use these with an amp or you could unplug and connect to the controller. If you connect directly to the controller it is considerably louder. I like the amp feature as I don't need it that loud. I really like the bluetooth feature as you can connect your cell phone to it and stream music or talk to someone. Not inexpensive but you won't be unhappy unless you want really loud headphones.
