Are Turtle beaches worth buying?

[Kevso]

So I'm thinking about buying turtle beaches(x12) for better gaming experiences.I've heard very good things about them.I am wondering what the forum thinks,If I should buy them, or get a diffrent headset.

all I've heard is bad things about them

[SpreadsPlague]

my Z6A lasted about 2 weeks before I literally leaned backwards and one side of the headset completely stopped working.

leaned backwards. $100 headset turned into $100 piece of plastic that I didn't care enough to get replaced.

save your money. buy something else.




also I have the x11 (predecessor to the x12)
sound quality is ok. build quality is cheap. wouldn't really recommend them but they're decent I guess.

maybe x12 is better but I wouldn't risk it.

that depends

if you want your life to suck, get turtle beaches

if you don't, get something else

I have some Razer Carcharias and they work perfectly. And I've tried Turtle Beaches and I have to say they are pretty stuff in comparison to Razer Carcharias.

[TheProdWad]

$98 but that's Australian Dollars.

I took a look at them, and they look really nice.
I'll keep those in mind too.
69.99 in american us dollars.

I own X11's and they are still working fine over maybe 4 years.

Decent bass, high quality, comfortable (except for maybe at the 2 hour mark they become a little uncomfortable)

And I keep losing the little fuzzy thing on the microphone.

or get a diffrent headset.

what ever you do don't get beats

I don't know why people hate them so much. I have had my x12s for a year now and it's amazing. The bass booster makes every game great to play and it's got such good clarity.

I have Plantronics 780's with 7.1 dolby surround sound. They're like a dream, but its for PC only. They're 80$ at Best Buy

People dont like them because they do pricing before they do the quality check. They're 5.1's can cost 100+ USD and they'll be the worst, most uncomfortable, sensitive headset ever.

Depends, waterfront always costs more. Tax would probably be much higher too. If you really like turtles though, I'd say it's worth it.

aka something that makes fake bass

I have a SteelSeries 5HV2, much better than Turtle Beaches. Turtle Beaches are only popular because they're expensive and therefore people think  they're "cool."
