Customer Reviews

Very close, but not perfect.
John Morrison

I have been using these for about a week. I originally just needed a mic since my son broke mine. I purchased the Gears of War throat mic, and that thing is a pile, not even sure how it made it to market with the below sub-par sound quality. So I retuned it and after mulling over the options I decided on these. They are a bit pricey, but I paid $200 for the Tuetlr Beach x41 and those were worth the purchase a couple years ago. My main complaints with the x41s is that they don't go loud enough for movies, and they do burn through batteries, and you get the occasional interference noises from the wireless. That is the main reason I went with these. They are corded so you don't need batteries, and they go louder than I need them too.The only faults I see with them are these, and they are more of a personal issue than anything else. First is it is corded, cordless is really nice for obvoise reasons. The main cord on these is quite beefy, so it is a bit heavy to be hanging down in you lap. Also the mic/mute control is also beefy. And you also have a small cord plugged into the controller which can be removed if you are not gaming. The controller on the cord is nice as it has a mute, and separate game and chat volume so you can dial them both in. But once I am playing and I am zoned in I don't notice the cords at all, and it is a welcome trad off to not have to use batteries.The sound on these is really good also, they are a bit bass heavy which is nice when gaming, especially in Gears. I had the the x41s were a little light in the bass. Would be better if it had a dial to adjust to your liking. Hearing "Boom" from the Boomer really sets the tone and grabs you in. I can't say if the 7.1 is better than 5.1, but the surround is better on these than on my x41s. Youcan really track the movement of characters in the game. Watching some movies the bass is a bit much, but I would prefer tomuch than to little. It is not over whelming, but it is noticeable.I have put many hours on these this week and only had two times when there was sound issues. One match I had terrible echoes and heard everything I said repeated, which does happen with every other mike I have used. And in one game the bass got extremely overpowered and was distorting like crazy. Was fine in the game till that level, and was fine the next time I turned them on, so I assume it was a fluke.Comfort on these is pretty good, but after a couple of hours they do start to get uncomfortable. The cups could have been a little wider in my opinion. Not so noticeable when gaming, but movies watching when you are not so focused I did notice it more.I would totally give them a try, they are the best all around set in my opinion. If they were wireless I would give them a 5 no problem Read more ›

Gears of War 3 Headset
Drake

I got these to replace the Turtlebeach x4's that I had. They finally gave out so i figured that these would be a great replacement. I got these a few days before Gears of War 3 was released. They have worked great. I hear everything just like I did with the x4's. The only thing that i don't really like is that they are wired. I'm not a big fan of that. I get tangled in the wire and so does my child which is very annoying. I worry that one of these times its going to pull my xbox and everything else down. They sound good, and i can hear all my buddies well. About a week ago the chat cable gave out on me. I could not hear anyone, and they could not hear me. I can still hear the game sounds, just not chat. When I went to order a new cable from Mad Catz they are sold out in the U.S. I ended up going to the local electronics store and getting a cable that works but it cost me $20. Not what I wanted to do after spending almost $200 for the headset in the first place.

Great gaming headset, with one problem
A. Lydiard

I purchased this headset a few months ago and have never looked back. It was my first gaming headset and I love it. The sound quality is superb and the fit is just right. Voice quality out and in is great.My only complaint was the cord that runs from the controller to the headset cord (this allows for voice communication in games) went bad after less than a month. I wrote to Mad Catz but it took them over a month to respond, so I ended up getting a replacement through Amazon (which was painless and easy). Mad Catz finally responded saying they would ship me another cord, but that the specific cord I need is on back order. Other than that, this is a sturdy great headset. If you have the cash to splash, I recommend it highly.EDIT: Originally I said these were not adjustable to bigger heads, but I was wrong as I found out this weekend. It actually will adjust, they are just really tight initially.

Amazing headphones, worth every dollar. Only thing is they aren't wireless, but the cable is pretty long. LED's look kick ass in the dark.

Pricey, But worth every penny!
Reace's Pieces

Plain and simple. 180 bucks is a very steep price point for a headset. But it's worth it. The sound quality is fantastic, it's built to last, and it just looks pure badass. It even lights up also which is cool if you have friends over! My only complaint is that I recommend you buy a seperate optical cable because the one that comes with it can be flimsy. Which is weird because the rest of the wires and plugs are well protected. Other than that this headset is PERFECT!

All is good...Besides
Bambi

Overall it's a fantastic headset, just with minor problems like that the mic port that connects to the headset had plastic pieces broken off of it. Also, the optical cable was bent at the top. But must have been the one that was dropped or something maybe due to shipping. But besides that it is a headset I highly recommend, especially after hearing the sound of ACIV ship battles... btw (READ the directions if not familiar).

Great for GoW Fans + Headphone Fans Alike
Joshua

This headset is awesome. I have been playing Gears of War since it first came out in 2006 & love the campaigns + multiplayer. Along with these headphones I got the GoW 3 controller which is a great buy as well. The one problem with this is that the HDMI i had plugged into my 360 was a little big, so when I tried to plug the A/V cable that came with this headphone in I accidentally broke my Xbox. I have another one for backup and haven't had a problem since, so be careful not to jam the A/V cable in like me :)
