I sit by my computer all day and would have preferred a shorter cord. I would like to stress that this is a terribly minor con which shouldn't play much of a part in your decision.
Overall Review: On a personal note, I have very sensitive ears. Both the inside and out, for some reason. Because of this, there has only ever been one pair of headphones I could tolerate for long, the Sony Mdr-Ex75 sadly they were discontinued. I've been using the Bose because they were a gift, but they always hurt my ears because they touch the speaker on the inside of the ear cuff.
But not Turtle Beach's. The ear cuff is nicely high off the ear and is made of fanastic quality stuff. Even the coating over the cuff feels great.
Pros: Above average sound quality Above average mic quality Bass boost Cheap price. Overall Review: I've owned two pairs of these over the course of almost two years.
The first one lasted about a year and a half, and was fantastic while it was in one piece. Unfortunately, after a few months, a crack started to form on the plastic bit that connects the right ear piece to the part that goes over the head. Within months, this piece was bent outwards, and the headset no longer properly covered the ear. I dealt with this for a while before the piece bent far enough that it became unbearable, and I went and redeemed the extended warranty I had fortunately bought.
The second pair was as good as the first for about four months. I noticed a little of the cracking that had killed the previous one, but figuring I'd get another year out of it, didn't think much of it. Then yesterday, the piece snapped through no unusual action of my own, leaving the entire ear piece dangling by a thin piece of plastic.
I took it back to where I'd bought it and exchanged it for a model from a different manufacturer. Alas, this model has been on the market for several years now, and they just don't seem to care, so I'm giving them a bad review. Save yourself the hassle and get yourself something else. Mid tones and treble are simply outstanding.
Bass is good. Microphone is very good. Very comfortable ear pads, comfortable tightness [my first set was too tight until they were broken in]. Cons: As others have pointed out, the plastic holding the ear cups is poor. I used care with mine, with the exception of often taking them off of my head too often with the ear cups. They lasted 19 months, I was very disappointed in losing a great headset. The volume and other controls on the cord were too easily adjusted with the slightest bump.
The second set is much more firm. If this is a regular variation - from poor to good, then quality control should be better. Overall Review: I do not know why a reviewer below said the microphone is poor, I am using a computer and mic fidelity is outstanding.
These headsets do not need care when putting them on or removing them, they need great care. Pros: They sound great. They also seem to fit my head better i have a big head then the x31's. Overall Review: if you were considering buying a cheaper headset, i would recommend splurging the extra dollars for a set of these.
Pros: Well the bass is exceptional the volume controls are seperated for chat and bass and overall game volume. Love the freakin sound quality! The mic is great friends online noticed a significant difference.
Cons: Well the cord seems like it could easily detach but if you take care of you're things shouldn't be a problem mic makes me feel like to much bending may break it. Pros: Great sound quality; Long cord reaches all over my living room for movies, games, etc.
Cons: Long cord is not very ascetically pleasing; Game and chat volumes and bass boost on control box are very sensitive and can change in levels without you touching them; Even though headset is light, it can feel a little flimsy and fragile; Chat quality takes a slight hit compared to the default headset that comes with the xbox.
Overall Review: I absolutely love this headset! I bought this with the Dolby DSS digital sound add-on. The sounds of singing in taverns, the murmur of crowds and steel clashing in street-side swordfights all came through clearly. The microphone also sounded crisp when I tested a Skype chat with a co-worker. I had to adjust it so that the microphone wasn't too close to my mouth it's more sensitive than it looks , but thanks to its flexible arm, doing so was easy.
The first thing I noticed about listening to music on the Ear Force X12 was that there's a slight-to-noticeable background hiss, depending on how much you turn up the volume. While this has the potential to drive listeners to varying degrees of battiness, once the music starts, it's hardly a concern.
Gaming headsets do not have a stellar reputation when it comes to playing music, but Ear Force X12's designers did something very right. Music sounds rich and vibrant, and the Bass Boost feature ensures that you'll get an appropriate amount of vibrato for the genre.
There's a beautiful balance between vocals and instruments. I listened to music from G. I was genuinely pleased with how everything sounded, from the complex choral arrangements of Messiah to the driving Celtic beat of "Salty Dog.
It's relatively inexpensive, and delivers good sound without many complications. On the whole, it's comparable to the SteelSeries Siberia v3 : a low-cost, well-designed headset that's a steadfast companion for games and music alike.
Both headsets perform well for a low price, but the Ear Force X12 has a much longer cord and generally plays nicer with consoles. For players who want to jump into the game with as little fuss as possible, the Ear Force X12 is a respectable choice that won't set your bank account back too much.
