There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Mic: sounds very clear but slightly bassy. Only complaint is the mic is in a fixed position, I would like to be able to move it closer.
Audio: Clear, lots of adjustments can be made on the app.
Comfort: The padding material is soft and easy to clean. Very lightweight. Fits very snug.
Overall a fantastic headset!
I did initially have connectivity issues but after contacting turtle Beach they were able to walk me through a reset process that was simple and resolved the issue. Great customer service and I will continue to purchase their products.
I'll start with the software, why is there a PC app that's one and only job is to update the headsets firmware. Why do I have to use my phone and connect it to the headset to adjust settings the one or two settings you gave us? Why does the app when asking me if I'm having trouble crash when I click the yes I'm having trouble button? Why is there zero option to stop the audio muting whenever a setting is changed, volume is maxed out, or device is connected? Why not give us the ability to control the sleep on the headset? If they cared about the user there'd be a pc/mobile app with basic features you'd want like those. As a pc only user I'd like to see a pc app as an option, especially when the mobile app doesn't keep the saved settings applied half the time. Also how much does an accurate battery indicator cost? They give away phones with better battery reading than this headset. The best they can give you is estimates at 25% intervals.
Onto actual hardware, I hope you like unplugging and repluggung usb devices in because the dongle loves to turn off until I unplug it and plug it back in. Turn your pc off? You'll probably have to replug it in. Headset turn off and the dongle lost signal? 50% of the time you'll have to replug it in. The range is also pretty weak, 10ft would have some audio stutter, one wall is also the limit as it'll start stuttering and cutting out. The headset has two volume wheels, one that's dedicated to the dongle and another that's reprogramable, great in concept but using it for Bluetooth audio control is worthless as it's super fragile and has zero tactile to it so easy to bump and blow your ears out. Would much rather see it used as a mixer for the dongle/Bluetooth volume with tactile bumps. It's primarily plastic so I'm unsure of how durable it is, the inner band is atleast metal and the buttons feel really cheap but make a loud clear tactile click when being pressed. Takes a few hrs to fully charge and lasts 35ish hrs. One other big gripe I have is the volume button has zero effect on windows and windows volume has zero effect on the headset unless windows is set to 0 than it mutes the headset. I don't see why the volumes can't be controlled together. Makes volume wheels on keyboards useless.
I'd only recommend the headset if you can get it on sale, and don't care about user experience past being wireless and having decent audio/battery. I haven't used many wireless headsets, the audeze penrose, corsair void, and corsair virtuoso but out of all of these the penrose and these are a strong tie. The pentose sound a touch better but the battery is horrible and these sound nearly as good but last way longer. The virtuosos as much as I dislike corsairs software has way more user comforts and better support compared to these while still sounding alright after a little EQ.
After even more time with it I'm ready to smash it with a hammer and use absolutely anything else. Nearly every time I turn the headset on I have to unplug the stupid USB dongle and plug it in again for it to connect to my pc. They don't update their broken garbage app you need to use or else your forced with a mic that's always on even in the up position. They will take your money and leave you with a half baked product. Shocking how little turtle beach cares about its customers.
Updated 05/29/24 changed from 2 star to 4 star because of TB customer service
Always register your devices. I had registered mine at the TB site when I got these, I went back to the site and submitted a support/warranty request. They asked for some information and photos then they shipped a new pair to me, three days later they were delivered. I'm pleased with the quality of the service even if the product quality wasn't super great. I will see how long this new pair lasts.

I am 100% happy I got these brilliant sounds for their price.
Yes setup for bluetooth is a bit technical but once I read reviews on the turtle audio hub page it was simple.
YOU need to update the drivers for Bluetooth via computer and connect the headset to your computer and once all is done boom!!.
No stress and enjoy
