Turtle Beach Ear Force PX3 Wireless Headset (PC, Xbox 360 & PS3) reviews

Just got these this morning. So far, I would give them a 6/10. They feel quite light weight – good for wearing, not so much for duarbility. Set up is a bit of a pig, especially when trying to connect to PC. Managed to get the mic going, but sound still came from my speakers in both wired and wireless configurations. Maybe it's just user error… most likely :)

Other than that, these are comfortable for long stretches of gaming and provide pretty decent sound (I still prefer Sony's 7.1 Official Headset), once you get around the set up issues.

Downside is the price – I only bought this because it was a Daily Deal. The rrp of it isn't quite justified for what you get. If you have a PS3, get the Sony 7.1 Headset. If you have Xbox360, shop around.

Very light and comfortable headset. Doesnt feel like its clamping on your head tightly (and I have a big head, lol) so I can wear them for a long period of time and no headaches or discomfort.

Sound quality is pretty good. Lacking in nice low bass notes as compared to the Soundblaster WoW headset I had, and returned due to mic problems, but overall pretty good sound quality.

Mic is very clear and and stays right where you put it. The various sound fields are quite a nice feature for FPS games. I use this headset on both my PC and PS3 and it has improved my game on Modern Warefare 3 for sure! You know when someone is close to you or trying to chase you down.

The ability to adjust game and voice chat volume independantly on the headset itself is priceless. I use this feature on PC (with teamspeak and vent) and on PS3 and I wouldnt be without it now!

I can come home from work and game until the early hours without needing to put it on charge, battery life seems great!

My only real gripe is that in less than a week it broke. The small bits of plastic that are screwed together around the ends of the leather padding, around the top of the headband, well one of those halves broke off bit where the screws go into it. Its only a cosmetic thing so I didnt bother to send it back (might have to glue it back on one day). But this still shows its a bit light build quality. I can honestly say I have never dropped or been rough with the headset so as far as I can tell its a design flaw for big heads that open the headband out quite wide.

Overall I can recommend this headset to everyone if you can get it on special like I did ($159). But I wouldnt pay the RRP thats for sure.

Very comfortable to wear, great range of sound and a very realistic sound experience.

Real good sound, feels like you have your sound system on and no headset on, playing games late at night is easier with them and you dont bug other people

Had these headphones for about 6–7 months and they are amazing sound quality, and the wireless range is impressive. Good sound quality overall, and while the PC version lacks the cool profiles it is a nice set of headphones.

But…and this is a large but. The build quality is quite bad. For 280 dollars it is really not worth it. I bought mine on special for 160, and that is still not really worth it. They are built primarily out of plastic and the two small parts that separate the side supports and the top foam part are liable to fall off. This happened to both my pair and my friends pair in less than a month. Right now one of the inner pieces of plastic literally broke clear off the screws and I have had to glue it back together.

On top of this I had to send my pair back after 2 months due to a battery malfunction. I love them but at the same time if I could go back in time I would not buy them.

This is a great headset. Although, if you were to paythe full $300 for it I would recommend saving up just a LITTLE more and getting the upgrade with surround sound.

Also, if you are using this for XBOX and you use an HDMI cable you will need an extra XBOX audio cable (sold separately, but you can find it on trademe for like $7). I bought this from Mighty Ape and am VERY pleased with the item. Long lasting battery. Deep Bass. Fits comfortably and isn't loose. the Mic boom is very sturdy and wont move about either which is a massive bonus.

These have to be one of the best head phones out..the sound is as crisp as a fresh apple…its like you are in the game rather than just playing
