Turtle Beach PX22 Universal Amplified Gaming Headset - PS3 and Xbox 360

I bought this headset to replace my PX21 which I've been using for a few years now with my PS3, laptop and TV. The PX22 also works with Vita and mobile devices, which is fine but not exactly practical. Regardless, it's always nice to have more options than fewer.My worry when buying the PX22 was that it was basically a PX21 repackaged. In all honesty, I can't detect any increase in audio quality but, in my opinion, the build is much improved. the headset is lighter, smaller, more comfortable and does a much better job of reducing the penetration of external noise. I also prefer the mic's design, though I haven't yet used it to sample quality. The ability to control the bass has been carried over from the PX21 and now there is also a dial to control the treble. The ability to adjust the volume of other players' mics independently of the game volume returns, along with a new dial to control your audio output volume. There are also more options for muting than simply on or off.My only point of reference for the PX22 is the PX21, a device I made great use of. The PX22 is as good or better in every way, as best I can tell. I would imagine there are better headsets available for people only interested in using them on one specific device (there certainly are much more expensive ones) but for anyone looking for a somewhat universal headset, I highly recommend the PX22.

I own two of these headsets, I gave the first one to someone else after the the clip on the volume box broke, I needed to be able to clip it to my jeans to move around easily. The second pair (my current pair) like the first is a great headset, the audio quality is good for both input and output not amazing but quite good, to get better you'd have to pay much more.The clip has not broken on this one yet but both pieces of plastic above the ear pieces have began to crack and one has now almost completely broken. Because of the way the headset tries to stay tight on the head it it instead pushing the broken piece of plastic into my skull. My attempts to tape over the cracks have stopped it from completely braking apart but doesn't stop the headsets attempt to make in incision into my skull.This has forced me to purchase a third pair, I have considered other headsets but always end up wanting this one. So be aware if you have a large head, be weary that it is likely that this may happen to you. I previously gave this item four stars, it was a very good headset but could be a bit stronger, I am now certain it needs to be stronger for the headset isn't even six months old and broke on me.

This headset has quality where it counts. It creates a very nice sound and is very comfortable during long play sessions. The build quality is fine although a little too much cheap plastic, that said, It is a great headset for the price. It is a wired set for sure, there is a fairly complexx set up to get the best gaming experience but can be used as a standard set with 3.5mm Jack on smartphones, mp3 players etc. fully recommend this headset to those on a budget and those with a large head.Pros:Great soundVery light and comfortableExcellent comparabilityCons:Feels a bit cheap, bit then it is!Loads of wires to set up for full gaming experience.

Had to change my old headset as the microphone wasn't working. I was introduced to this by a friend and must say I was excited to get them. Few points I want to make. First there is always background noise when nothing is playing. Secondly the microphone is very thin and bends easily in a way that feels it will break very easily. Also I wish there was bigger extension on the wire itself for no use of any other. A year later and the jack doesn't work anymore...

This sound and mic for this price range is incredible. I have not a single complaint in that department.However the issue is they break so incredibly easy. I am on my 3rd set (which has just broke) and to be honest, they will unfortunately be my last. It always snaps in the exact same way each time. On this pair, I actually watched the crack develop and grow over the last month until they finally failed. Trust me: Spend a little more money and get a headset that doesn't break after 6 months to a year.

The sound and quality of these headphones are really good. Microphonee quality is crisp and clear, good enough to make videos if thats your thing, but really clear for online gaming.Lots of great sliders for bass, treble and importantly one for microphone volume and essentially one that allows you to increase or decrease what you can hear from the room you are in. If the wife is watching EastEnders I can turn Dot Cotton down, if I have just had a row with the wife, I can turn the function up, and can hear her calling me a toss pot under her breath. Honestly no bounds to its usefulness.They are also really, really comfortable. I wear glasses so sometimes headphones like this squash the frames against my delicate little face. These are firm but fair in that regard. The ear pads are also nice a big, so jug eared people like myself can fit the entirety of my lugs inside without the pad resting on half of them. Not found a pair of headphones that manage this apart from these and it means long gaming sessions don't result in you needing to constantly move the position of the pads around.My first set broke after my son managed to trap them in a door. I bought another pair right away, so that's a testimonial in itself.

Amazing job from Turtle Beach! Got my first pair for Christmas with my PS4 the year it came out, and the finally died earlier this year because I couldn't look where I was going, and stepped on the cord while I was wearing it. Popped the cord. Got my second set now because of how reliable they are. Amazing sound quality, according to my friends, the mic is really good on their end as well, love that I can listen to music, answer phone calls, control mic sensitivity, and to top it off, I can wear them all day. Comfortable is an understatement for sure! Only headset I'm buying from now on, and around $80 every 4-5 years is a great deal to me. Perfect! (And the ability to turn up game and chat volume individually useful too).

El producto venia bien, el sonido es bueno, me agrada su pequeño mixamp y incluye conexiones para el audio del xbox 360 encantado con el producto

BACKGROUND:I never really considered sound as an important area to spend money on with console gaming. I own a Logitech G35 7.1 surround sound headset for my PC, and I absolutely love it. Being a PC enthusiast gamer the ~ $125 price tag was justified at the time, and it was worth it considering how much it added to the experience. I built my current PC a few years ago when I felt the PS3 and Xbox 360 were overdue for next gen, and before that I had never thought about getting a quality headset for console gaming.Enter the next gen systems with PS4 and Xbox One. What really spurred me to want to look into console gaming headsets was the fact that the PS4 makes it so easy. I just had one requirement- something with a 3.5mm jack to plug into the DS4. I did some research and found lots of people commenting on their current Turtle Beach headsets and how many were working fine on the PS4. My Logitech G35 actually works fine on PS4 plugged into USB, but the sound quality of the G35 in stereo is not great. I also wanted something that would work with the Xbox One as well. The X1 controller has a proprietary headset jack on the controller now, but they announced that they would be releasing an adapter. So I aimed for a Turtle Beach pair for PS4 compatibility, future Xbox One compatibility, and based off of all the positive reviews I had read about them.The PX22 fit the bill. Its a universal headset with an inline amp that is advertised to work on PS4 and Xbox One (audio only), so the flexibility was a plus. I also snagged it for a great price, on sale for $55 (retails for $80). For the price, I really don't think you could find a better performing gaming headset. For the PS4, I'm just plugging the detachable 3.5mm cable from the headset directly into the DS4 controller. It works great, you can adjust audio levels in the PS4 OS. For the Xbox One, I'm using a Digital to Analog converter from the optical connection in the back of the console, and I'm using the inline amp and plugging the 3.5mm headphone cable into the DAC. I'm getting game audio, and the headset comes with an Xbox 360 chat cable that plugs into the inline amp (and then into the 360 controller) that I'm assuming will work with the yet released Xbox One adapter. So I will be covered for chat in the future, no worries there.SOUND QUALITY:The sound quality of this headset really blew me away. I wasn't expecting much honestly, I had read mixed reviews on the sound quality before purchasing. Honestly, after hearing this headset first hand I do not understand the negative reviews at all. The sound quality on Xbox One using the inline amp is outstanding. The directional sound is incredible in Forza 5, I can hear cars coming up from behind for the pass, and I can hear which of my wheels is losing traction. I've found that increasing the bass slightly on the inline amp gives the best mix. The bass is excellent on these headphones, its much more hard hitting than the bass on my Logitech G35s even at the default setting. The clarity of sound is also very good, much more clean than any headphones I've used previously.On the PS4 plugging into the DS4, I've found that the sound quality does not suffer at all without using the inline amp. Its still just as awesome, you just lose the ability to alter treble and bass and mic volume. What's great is that the DS4 basically makes these into a wireless headset, since all you need to do is plug into the controller. I've used these on AC4, NBA 2K14 and Killzone Shadow Fall and have been really impressed. I'm hearing lots more detail in AC4 including footsteps, rustling of leaves and bushes, and the ambient music soundtrack that I didn't even realize was there before listening through these headphones. They really shine for a shooter like Killzone Shadow fall, the amazing directional sound adds to the immersion and also helps you play better.I also tried these on my PC to compare to my G35 7.1 pair, and I was really impressed with the results. Despite the fact that these are only stereo, I actually felt like the directional sound was better on the PX22s than the G35. Its probably because the overall sound quality is just better. The bass is especially noticeable, makes the explosions and rumbling tank sounds in BF4 even more immserive.Overall, I'm really impressed with the sound quality.ABOUT WIRES:The PX22s are a wired headset, and depending on how you are using them, there can be a lot of wires going on. With the PS4 its essentially wiress with just the headphones connecting to the DS4. However on Xbox One, once the adapter releases my setup will be the headset plugged into the inline amp, which is plugged into the DAC from the optical cable out the back of the console with a USB split at the end plugged into the console's USB port, and then also an additional chat cable from the inline amp leading to the X1 controller adapter. Its really only an extra cable with the chat cable, but those who hate lots of wires should probably steer clear. On PC you would need to plug the inline amp into a USB port, and use a headphone and mic splitter to plug into your sound card. Its more annoying than a simple USB headset like I have with the G35, but its not that much of a mess. I think the complaints about all the wires are overblown...setup is really simple, and all of the options allow this headset to be truly universal.BUILD QUALITY:I've seen a lot of complaints about build quality. I'm really not sure why. I think my G35s are better built quality for sure, but I also paid over double what I paid for the PX22s. I don't find the build quality of the PX22s to be bad at all, the material used on the ear pieces feel fine against my ears, the headband has leather coverings, and the mic feels pretty solid. The wiring is relatively thick and doesnt tangle easily. I also don't have any problems with the headset being tight as other reviewers have said, it feels just fine on my head and is perfectly comfortable.TL;DRExcellent sound quality, works on PC, PS4, and Xbox One for audio with chat in the future. Directional sound is the best I've heard from a stereo headset. Comfortable fit, wires might be a turn off for some. For the price, I'm really happy with this headset.

Le cuffie in oggetto rappresentano forse uno dei dispositivi più interessanti nella fascia di prezzo in esame (l'intorno dei 70 euro).Questo perché a fronte di una spesa di poco superiore alle cuffie di fascia bassa (che viaggiano intorno ai 50 euro) presentano un audio superiore con diverse regolazioni interessanti. Sono marchiate MLG ovvero Major League Gaming (la lega Pro) ed hanno un design accattivante oltre che poter contare su un ventaglio di compatibilità piuttosto ampio potendo coprire di fatto ogni piattaforma disponibile (in alcuni casi può essere richiesto un adattatore opzionale).COMODITA':Parto da uno dei fattori che reputo importanti per un paio di cuffie da gioco ovvero la comodità.Va detto che questo aspetto è abbastanza soggettivo ma posso dire che qui si può parlare di un headset complessivamente comodo. La pressione sulla testa non è molto forte anche se dopo sessioni lunghe il fastidio può sopraggiungere.La pressione che si può avvertire riguarda soprattutto la parte tra l'orecchio e la mandibola che potrebbe essere alleviata se i padiglioni fossero in spugna memory form. Qui invece ci troviamo di fronte ad una spugna rigida che restituisce una buona sensazione inizialmente ma che è forse un po' troppo "aggressiva" nelle sessioni prolungate di gioco. Va detto che regolando verso l’alto il padiglione e ruotandolo leggermene il tutto può cambiare.Considerando comunque che materiali differenti (spugna memory form appunto) non si trovano in cuffie al di sotto dei 160€ o più è qualcosa di perdonabile.I padiglioni isolano bene dai suoni esterni ed avvolgono completamente l'orecchio creando un ambiente ideale per la ricezione dei suoni e perfettamente gestibile per la chat tramite il ritorno della propria voce che la cuffia permette.SUONO:L'audio di queste cuffie restituisce buone sensazioni con bassi presenti e suoni nitidi.Confrontando il suono con cuffie da gaming quali le Tritton Trigger e le PXHS 20 di BigBen posso dire che qui siamo una spanna sopra abbondante a fronte di una spesa non di molto superiore o paragonabile.Giocando ad esempio ad FPS gli spari e le esplosioni risulteranno più nitidi e corposi con suoni meno "pasticciati" ed in definitiva più appaganti. In virtù poi di regolazioni dedicate sugli alti e bassi si potrà ottenere facilmente il risultato desiderato.DOTAZIONE:L'Headset viene fornito con tutto il necessario ad esclusione dell'adattatore necessario al collegamento audio alla console nel caso si disponga del primissimo modello di XBox360.Chi, come il sottoscritto, vuole avere un unico punto di connessione per più dispositivi può collegare la cuffia ad un amplificatore (Denon ed Onkyo nel caso specifico) ad esempio al Jack stereo da 6.3mm. In questo caso basta un semplice adattatore (O jack 6.3/3.5 o da RCA a 6.3) da pochi euro per poter prelevare dal dispositivo l'audio da qualsiasi sorgente connessa (TV inclusa tramite l'Audio Return Channel; ARC).E' possibile anche collegare l'headset direttamente alla TV. In questo caso, come per l'amplificatore è possibile sfruttare le due connessioni che l'headset mette a disposizione ovvero i due connettori RCA oppure il jack 3.5mm.La dotazione continua con l'amplificatore che è lo stesso che si trova sulle cuffie brandizzate COD Ghost ovvero le Shadow (che sono di fatto le PX22 brandizzate) ma anche sulle Spectre (modello da 199€ come listino).L'amplificatore permette di gestire in modo indipendente:- Volume di gioco (e ci mancherebbe)- Volume di chat (e ci mancherebbe)- Livello dei bassi- Livello dei alti- Livello del ritorno della propria voce (utile per evitare di urlare durante una chat a causa dell’insonorizzazione della cuffie che tiene lontana anche la propria voce)- Disabilitazione microfono e livelloL'amplificatore permette anche di ricevere in ingresso musica da un lettore MP3 per sovrapporre la musica preferita a quella di gioco o ricevere la connessione telefonica per permettere di rispondere al cellulare mentre si continua a giocare.Queste due opzioni le ho trovate personalmente poco utili ma oltre ad essere una considerazione per lo più soggettiva rende comunque l'idea sulla qualità della cuffia.FLESSIBILITA’:Sganciando la cuffia dall’amplificatore dell’headset si rimane poi con un jack 3.5mm che rende di fatto la cuffia utilizzabile con qualsiasi dispositivo che fornisca tale uscita come ad esempio cellulari, lettori mp3, tablet o anche il Pad di PS4 o di Xbox One (tramite adattatore). Questi due ultimi utilizzi permettono di utilizzare la cuffia in modalità sostanzialmente wireless perdendo però nel caso di PS4 la chat vocale.COMMENTO FINALETurtle beach in diverse fasce di prezzo sembra voler far pagare il marchio in modo eccessivo, ma non sembra essere il caso della fascia media a cui queste cuffie appartengono. In definitiva per chi cerca una cuffia multi formato e flessibile come poche (le uso per PC, PS4, Xbox One, WiiU, PS3, Xbox360 tablet e smartphone) senza svenarsi, direi che difficilmente si possa trovare di meglio a questo prezzo (o almeno alla cifra proposta da Amazon di circa 70 euro ad oggi).
