Turtle Beach Ear Force Z6A Quick Disconnect Connector Circumaural PC Gaming Multi-Speaker 5.1 Channels Headset

Pros: *sounds fantastic... 5.1 surround
*Multiple speakers in each ear sounds great.
*looks great
*soft ear pads
*articulating mic
*long cord

Cons: *cheaply made.
*cord gets more and more stiff as though it is hardening.
*sound control is too close to body. 3 feet.
*too many controls on sound control without protect. always gets moved.
*firmness of headset is always at head squishing vice setting. I wear a size 8 helmet.
*mic feeds your own voice back into your ear, cannot turn this off.

Other Thoughts: don't buy this... it will break.

Pros: Sound quality is good.. Sounds rich.

Cons: CHEAPLY MADE! I have gone thru several of these over this past year.. They have even sent me the "NEW IMPROVED" model... the design on these is such junk that the designer should be FIRED! I love my Ear Force HPA2 headset but they discontinued them, probably because they were TOO good. I'm a firm believer in "If it ain't broke, Don't fix it"!

Other Thoughts: next pair... Sennheiser

Pros: very nice sound with pretty decent quality

Cons: not yet

Other Thoughts: could have used better subs

Pros: Awesome 5.1 for gaming, music and movies. quality and looks are great. I own three sets of TB head phones and this one is by far the best model.

Cons: Only complaint is the tension on the strap tends to hold the ear pieces to tight and the weight slightly heavy then my Xbox set. This is a minor caveat compared to the sound I get from these head phones.

Pros: cheap. 5.1. the sound quality is decent. the voice feedback is actually cool. sound better in and out vs the corsair headset that i returned the next day after buying.

Cons: bought two sets for my girlfriends birthday at the end of january, 1 for me, 1 for her. we both play a lot of games. both headsets have defective wiring making them almost unplayable. the wiring prevents the mic from working. mine broke in the left ear, hers broke in the tuner. one of the arms on mine, which btw is embarrassingly poorly designed, just broke so now im on here. besides the faulty wiring and the bad structure design, the product has blatant design issues. the cups turn inward so when you put them down to hang them on your neck the cups are against your chest so you cant hear them. the volume dials on the tuner dongle are completely useless. why would you ever change the output volume on surround, front, mid, and sub? i always had them at max and to be honest would prefer them not even on there if i could get better wiring.

for my girlfriend, who is small, the headset was too heavy AND too tight. she said they would give her headaches after about 40 minutes.

ive been a die hard TB fan since i got my first x10's for l4d on 360. counting those and the ones i got for my gf, ive purchased 5 pairs of tb. they all broke.

my friends all make fun of me for liking TB and now i know why. They suck. im embarassed i went through so many before realizing it.

Other Thoughts: if you still think you would want these, pray pray pray that you dont get a set that breaks. to be honest again, i think the whole lot is defective.

turtle beach, you let me down.

Pros: Sound is good. Bought these at a big box store with christmas money over a year ago.

Cons: These are the biggest pile's of junk i have ever owned, I have gone through three pair's. Quality is horrific, the plastic bands have broke on the left and right sides. They started cracking within weeks of using them. I call support and now they want to send me a set of X12's to replace them. LOL, I paid a hundred bucks for these and they want to replace them with a $50 set. Avoid these at all costs.

Other Thoughts: I would also recommend to avoid Turtle Beach products all together. Their quality has gone downhill from years past and it shows by the reviews here and elsewhere.

Pros: Great sound quality, sound clear through the mic, comfortable.

Cons: Very cheaply constructed. The plastic that telescopes to adjust the size snapped on the left ear of my first set while taking them off my head. I returned them to the retailer where I purchased them and they allowed me to exchange them (was about a week in).

My second pair I treated like they were made of glass to avoid the same issue and about 2 weeks later the same thing happened. I decided to just make my own fix and use some supports and duct tape to put them back together (lul) then about a month later the same think happened on the other side so now I have a duct taped monstrosity of a headphone (which in all fairness still works)

Other Thoughts: Purchased from local retailer so I wont show as verified.

I contacted customer support to see if maybe they are made for children or maybe just up to a certain size head (i wear a 7 1/4 fitted hat. i think thats pretty normal?) They assured me it should fit everyone and that they do not break often.

Pros: Great sound, love the adapter that is sent with the headset.

Cons: This is my third headset in a year, the first one I took off wrong and the headband broke. The second one a screw stripped and the plastic bent and broke. I now have my third one, which I have only had for about a month and the microphone has just died on me. My warranty ended a week ago, so I am sure I will not be able to get any replacements.

Also if you would like work done to your turtlebeach headset, you have to pay shipping to get it to the plant. They will not provide a shipping label.

Pros: Alright, so i bought this headset off of the official Turtle Beach website (That's why I'm not a "Verified Owner"). However, I saw the very very bad reviews here after ordering and got a little scared. Anyway on to the pro's:
-True 5.1 Surround Sound. (Could tell where the enemies were when playing various FPS's)
-Comfortable: While they are much better than average headsets, they aren't as comfortable as my two Xbox ones. (See other thoughts)
-Looks incredible: The chrome finish and shiny plastics make this headset a really nice looking one.
-"Sound Amplifier": Much more controllable than Xbox ones, I love being able to change specific speaker volumes at any time easily.

Cons: -A bit heavier than other headsets (However, these do have 8 speakers total so that is kind of understandable)
-Very big (but that's probably also do to the 8 speakers, not a problem just they look a bit big)

Other Thoughts: Alright, so overall I give this a 5/5 and have had 0 problems with them so far (had for nearly a month now). I am not the most super careful person in the world, but I've taken care of these. There is absolutely no problems with my headset, so either the "flaws" have been fixed or the people with problems aren't taking good care of their headset (for a $100 headset I would hope everyone would take care of it, but obviously not). CONTINUE OF COMFORTABILITY: As I said they aren't as comfortable as other Turtle Beach headsets, but to get proper 5.1 sound and sound waves bouncing correctly its expectable that they need to be snug around your ears. I use them almost every day and they don't bother me.

Alot of people are angry it seems. Enough so to start trying to pick away at Turtle Beach any more they can. (They have gone as far as to call Turtle Beach the "Name Brand" headsets.... Last I checked that would be Beats and other headsets. I have never known Turtle Beach to be the top name brand). I have bought from Turtle Beach for years and never had problems. If these unreasonably break or whatever I will make another reveiw, but as of me using them this very second I haven'd had a single problem, there is no cracks, no signs of breakage, or anything. The USPS people even dropped the package very harshly and loudly enough I could hear this across my house. Not a single blemish to the headset.

All in all, I haven't had any problems, I am getting the quality I wanted, and still have a working headset. I would recommend this brand and model to any friend in need of a headset. Great product so far: 5/5.

Pros: comfy, great sound, 5.1

Cons: break even when gently handled, my front speaker in one of the ears stopped working just outside the warranty
