Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the excellent sound quality, comfort, and good value for the price. They also appreciate the microphone, compatibility with devices like Xbox, and the comfortable fit and weight. However, some customers note that the volume could be louder and the cord length is too short.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Cheap wiring, my dog got caught in the cord one time popping out the input from the controller and the metal input broke. Not worth the money. Spend a little more and go wireless.

    Turtle Beach is not making this model anymore according to Best Buy. I moved on to the 70x. The 50x just had too many issues. 70x is a nice model that is Affordable.
