Turtle Beach Ear Force XP510 BS-2290-01 5.1 Wireless Surround Sound Gaming Headset

I use these with my Xbox One. They don't explicitly mention compatibility with it, but it will work. You need the Xbox One headset adapter (not included -- plugs into the bottom of the controller and has a 3.5mm, 4 conductor jack) and you also need to make sure you have done the controller software update. The headset has a 2.5mm, 4 conductor jack on it. There was a 2.5mm to 3.5mm 4 conductor cable in the package with the headset. With the headset connected to a Xbox One controller, you don't need to have the base station hooked up to hear game audio as that is sent through the controller.I have the base station connected to the optical audio output on my TV (cable included). The base station also has RCA (red and white stereo) inputs.The Good:- The sound is good.- You can pair a phone to it using bluetooth and listen to music or talk on the phone while playing games.- They are comfortable and fit over my (larger than average) ears well.- They are also well padded so they don't bother me with extended gameplay.- The built-in battery lasts a long time. I have used it at least 5 hours straight and never run out of charge.The bad:- The base station power cable and headset charging cable are both mini USB (not the micro connector you will find on most current cell phones). They do not include an adapter to plug them into a wall outlet. They expect you to plug them into your console. If you want to use it with a something that has not USB ports you will need a separate USB wall charger.- Interference. I typically have 2 phones, 2 laptops, and 3 streaming devices connected to my WiFi (5GHz frequency). These devices and the Wii U wireless gamepad seem to contribute a lot to the interference. The headset pretty much requires line of sight with the base station. If I disable my WiFi network and the Wii U is off, then the reception is much better (i.e. it will work without static in adjacent rooms).The Ugly:- Auto Shutoff. This is really frustrating because there isn't much you can do about it. The feature can not be disabled. The headset will shut off if it does not detect audio for a few minutes. It will shut off if you spend too much time navigating game menus or flipping through listings trying to find something to watch. It will also shut off occasionally while watching TV shows that don't have any loud sounds. It seems to ignore normal dialog or little sounds that the xbox makes when flipping through menus. I have never had it shut off during normal gameplay.Workarounds are:-- Leave the mic connected and talk into it or tap it occasionally while watching TV (the Turtle Beach web site actually suggests this)-- Turn up the volume of the input source extremely high and turn down the volume on the headset. On one of my TVs the volume output is affected by the TV volume setting. I need to put it at about a 70/100 to prevent the headset from powering off while watching normal TV. That is probably loud enough to cause hearing damage if you plugged in a wired headset at that volume.-- Plug the charging cable into the headset.

I bought these to replace my Pioneer SE-DIR800C's, which I used for over 8 years and loved. Super comfortable and great sound, but, IR, and they started failing...These are the first TB headphones I have tried, and thought I would post my thoughts after using these for almost a week and also the Astro A50', along with the TB X42.What I wanted:- Surround Sound (Simulated or "true" with multiple drivers in each headphone, pros and cons to each)- Optical Input- 5Ghz Wireless (no 2.4 or IR)Comfort is #1, then Sound quality, then features.SO....XP510 = Great sound, for me better than A50, and better overall than X42. Too small and tight, headband does not have enough padding and becomes painful after 30 - 60 minutes (for me). I am probably a little more sensitive than most when it comes to comfort, because a lot of people think these are very comfortable...or I am just very picky..Bluetooth mic sound was not good, my friend said there was a delay and overall not great sound compared to wired options we had used.Astro A50 = Muddled heavy bass sound, and the 3 options in sound templates, none sound really good. I know most folks love these things and say they sound great, I just don't hear it. I tried games, movies, all via optical input from Xbox, PS3, Tivo. They are more comfortable than XP510 but not by much, still not super comfortable.X42 = Sound not as good as other 2, but actually decent for the price (less than 100). I really like the dual AAA batteries and wired option for Mic, sounds much better. Not super comfortable but they are lighter so helps a bit, also the ear cups don't feel as snug, ie, round vs. oblong so not as contour. Overall though a great solution for under 100. May keep them for another room in the house.I sent the A50 and XP510 back, got an Astro MixAmp 5.8 and the Sennheiser PC360 and also the Audio Technica ATH-M50, going to test that setup this weekend and keep the best headphone.I read a ton of reviews and watched Youtube etc. Those combos seemed to be popular for the "under $300" package.*UPDATE*Received the Astro MixAmp 5.8 and the Sennheiser PC360 and AT ATH-M50.Sennheiser PC360 = Very little bass, sound overall is OK but I realized while testing these, I do NOT like open headphones. You hear everything around you and although not bad it means that even the hum of the air conditioning etc. requires you to crank the volume up to compensate. These are comfortable but I think the ATH-50 inch them out just a bit. Again, if you like Bass, do not get these.Audio Technica ATH-M50 = Amazing sound, the reviews are right, I can only describe the sound as "smooth", lows to highs, everything is crisp. Amazing Bass, ie, the lowest sounds can be heard in movies and games, these are the best sounding out of the whole bunch I tried. The headband is OK, could have more padding, but better than the Turtle Beach by far. I love the coiled cord, not super long, and they fold up. I am stretching them over the couch arm overnight to loosen the fit a little. Will keep these for movies and gaming for sure.Astro MixAmp 5.8 = Sound is amazing, I don't even need the Surround feature enabled, if your source is surround then you will get clean surround in any decent "normal" headset. I am buying another for upstairs. One bummer is that the analog in only works with console audio or something like that, strange. Not a problem since most of what I have is Optical. There is a hiss that can be heard with Mixamp but only at the HIGHEST volume level on both master and game/voice volume. It is not noticeable at all during normal use and normal volume levels. Well worth the money!I am going to get the Klipsch IMAGE S4 in ear headphones and use those when my head gets sore or I don't need the extra sound quality.I am going to return the TB X42's, I wanted to use them in another room where I have Tivo and another xbox, but the X42 will not auto switch between optical and analog aux in. I tested 5+ times, it will switch to Optical as primary if it senses a signal, but would not switch back to Aux in (Tivo) when I turned off Xbox. I had to pull power completely to the X42 before it played analog Aux In again, not sure why.Anyway, getting another Mixamp 5.8 + Audio Authority 1177A-1 optical toslink switch (have one already and love it), I think I am done with all-in-one Wireless headphone solutions, the Mixamp is the way to go...

使用して二日目でボタン操作（ヘッドフォン右側のマイクon、ＯＦＦボタンとブルートゥース系）ができなくなりました。音切れもあります。不具合なければいい商品だと思います。自分はVCをよく使用しますので、これは頂けません。返品決定！
