4 out of 5 eggs Decent Headset for the price 12/17/2013

This review is from: Turtle Beach X12 XBOX 360 Headset

Pros:

- Very comfortable. I've used these for several hours at a time on occasion (with breaks in between) and they felt good the entire time.
- Sound quality is good. I'm not an audiophile, but I feel I do have a good ear (I've played music for ~10 years), but I was very satisfied with the sound quality. The bass boost slider is nice too, good range of bass to tailor the sound to your preference.
- PC and Xbox. I've used these on both my Xbox and PC and didn't notice any significant change in audio quality between the two.
- Cable is very long, so you can sit further away if you desire (so long as you don't mind the long cable hanging in between you and your Xbox/PC).

Cons:

- Mic is not good. There is a background hiss when the mic is turned on.

Overall Review:

The sound quality from these is very good (as mentioned above). However this was only with the mic turned off. I don't do a lot of online chatting while playing games so I usually just keep the mic turned off. In this format the sound quality is very good. There is a hiss when the mic is on, but like I say, for me this isn't much of an issue because I don't use it much. If you're someone who spends a lot of time chatting during online play, these might not be the best for you. If you don't do much chatting, you can just turn the mic off and enjoy the good sound quality.
