    With the headset at full volume you can barely hear the game. I bought these as a guest headset and wish I would have tested them in time to return them. Wasted money as you cant be competitive in a game you can barely hear.

    Not sure how to feel about these. I bought them to get a better quality headphone but I’m not sure if I got what I was looking for. Turtle beach is one of the better headphones but with this one particular I feel as if they only sold me the name and not the quality.

    No independent chat and game volume. So it was hard to hear my friend talk over the game. In game sound was not bad but when you switched over for chat it was mono and hard to hear. If you don't care about chat then they are ok. This headset plugs into your controller for power.

    Keep your money. This headset was a disappointment for an entry level Turtle Beach. It got returned within an hour of its first use for a Razer Headset.
