Turtle Beach Ear Force Z2 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Professional-Grade PC Gaming Headset

Pros: Great headset for about three-4 months depending on how well it's taken care of. The Bass is good, and the cushioning feels very comfortable. I was able to wear this headset for nearly half a day without my ears bothering me. The attached mic is fantastic. My friends would tell me to turn my end down on Skype, and as of now it's on the lowest setting! Don't put the mic directly in front of mouth or you might blow out your friends eardrums.

Cons: I would have recommended this headset to anyone, but the speakers went out on me at about three months after purchase, and then about the sixth month period hit and the right one cut out. The speakers weren't the issue of course, the wires inside the cord are longer, so the potential to break at multiple points on the copper wiring is greatly increased. I wouldn't get this headset unless you know someone who has a soldering iron, and knows how to use it, or wrap the wires yourself to get the signal in the wire to connect again. I would recommend saving up about $40 to get a wireless headset as I have heard the signal can get up to 40 feet. So, again, don't get this unless you understand how to fix your electronics in depth, or you know someone who can.

Other Thoughts: I thought Turtle Beach would have made the cord last a little longer. The cord is longer, so the chase of a copper wire break inside is greatly increased. Do yourself a favor and get a wireless headset brand which is known to be both comfortable and be way more reliable. Some $30 headsets last longer, and are decently comfortable.

Pros: Amazing sound compare to any headphone at or above its price.

Cons: Cheaply built. My first pair had major cracks on the headband after 6 months of gentle use along with problems such as sound cutting off on either left or right side, end up RMA'd. My second pair had the same problem with the sound on the right side within three weeks of use. The Return department was nice enough to offer me another RMA even though the warranty has already been expired at this time. I've been using the third pair for about three months now and thankfully nothing has gone wrong, yet. Hope it stays that way.

Pros: Comfort

Cons: Cheaply made

Other Thoughts: After just over a month of use, I had to send the headset in for repairs. The audio just stopped working. 3 weeks later, I sent an email, and they finally decided to send a new headset. Another 3 weeks or so and I break the headset while removing it from my head. The plastic above the ear cup just snapped. I can't recommend this to anyone.

Pros: + Looks Sweet.
+ Sound is High quality. That's pretty much it

Cons: - Microphone is weak, especially on a Gigabyte EP45 UD3L Motherboard. You can boost the Mic dB levels in the drivers and in games or programs, but then it would echo.

Other Thoughts: I tested the mic on my toshiba laptop and found that they work quite well on skype. Its just that my laptop is 6 years old and cannot run many games.

Pros: over the head feels good can wear for hours on end

Cons: hd the cord from the quick disconnect to the jacks go out 3 months in and 6 months in the rest of the cord started to flicker and is now dead

Other Thoughts: turtle beach needs to beef-up the cord so it doesn't fray so easliy

Pros: Extremely comfortable.
Great Bass.
Clear sound and microphone.

Cons: Very heavy.
While they have a nice design, the build is somewhat cheap.
Microphone died after a month of use.
Left speaker died after my sister dropped the headset from 3 feet; right speaker is really low since then.

Other Thoughts: This could be one of the best gaming headsets out there, if the overall quality was better.
I loved this headset while it lasted; but only used it for 5 weeks until it died.

Pros: Like everyone said it has a nice fit and is very comfortable. It's easy on the ears with the nice sound it provides. The mic works great as well.

Cons: My right side snapped where the headphone meets the plastic on the right side above the joint.

Other Thoughts: I Fixed that part with some Ipoxy i bought from a home depot. It broke again, so I went back to the home depot for a plastic surface ipoxy. I let it sit for 24 hours after I fixed it. I'm using them now and have been for about a month. So they are fixable without tape :D

Pros: Great sound quality, comfortable, mic works great.

Cons: Owned these things for less than 5 months and now the right headphone randomly doesn't work. I have to mess with the breakaway cable all the time to get it working but it's really frustrating.

Other Thoughts: I thought Turtle Beach was a good company but judging by other complaints it seems my issue is a common one. I don't really feel like paying $18 for a new cable from Turtle Beach so I can use these for 5 more months before it happens again.

Pros: Decent sound, especially for $50. The mic is crystal clear and the whole set folds in on itself to be compact for travel/sitting on your desk.

Cons: Poorly constructed. After four months of average (gamer average) use the hinge on the left side has completely snapped, leaving one can dangling by a bit of plastic. I didn't handle them with kid gloves, but I certainly wasn't hard on them in any way.

Other Thoughts: I bought two of these at PAX 10. What drew me to them over the many other offering on the show floor was how well they canceled noise. Even in the noise, loud expo hall I could still hear every little detail of the demo and the crowd was reduced to a faint buzz. The price point was attractive too. But four months later one pair is broke, and the other is cracking in the exact same area.

Pros: Comfortable
Great sound/microphone quality

Cons: Cheap cord

Other Thoughts: I'm on my third cord right now, after a few weeks the signal in one ear will go out if it isn't positioned a certain way. They always seem to break at the spot between quick-disconnect socket and the volume control. Turtle Beach sells a replacement cord on their website that is 8 dollars + 10 dollars shipping/processing (last time I checked).

Would definitely not buy again.
