Nice review! Very informative. Well done!

One question though, what's the cable length like on that thing (between connectors and volume control then between volume control and headset)? Thanks.

Nice review..............but one dang ugly reviewer.





I've always kinda kept Turtle Beach in the back of my mind. Creative sortof blew them away on the soundcard market, but they've always hung in there. They were one of the first to market a 7.1 surround PC card, as well.

Indeed!

Clearly the reviewer is blown away by the sound!

I appreciate the cutaway view that you provided. It helps to show the difference and rationalize headphones w/ surround sound. I am on a bit of a wireless kick now w/ my Acoustic Research 900MHz wireless headphones, so I'd love to see something that would compare to this Turtle Beach set w/o a cord.


Nicely done

LOL. Please disregard the picture, it was my birthday weekend.. which I do not remember most of, thus explaining my appearance when that image was taken. :)

Anyway,

As per your request Nathan will be ammending the review with my comments on the length of the cabling provided for this headset.

As a side note, you'll notice that Nathan has changed the image of me with these headphones (or will be shortly) I decided that I did look hella fugly in that picture lol.

Plz feel free to mock the new picture as well

This had me snorting coffee out through my nose.

I have not laughed that hard for a long while.

I currently have Zalman headphones, but the right side goes dead once in a while. I think I'll give these a try

I would contact Zalman, you might be able to get a replacement set.
