My only complaint is some may find them mildly itchy, an issue I have with lots of fabric earpads, but I eventually got used to it. They also stay fairly cool after long usage sessions.

Turtle Beach sells quite a few replacement earpads I am going to personally recommend that people upgrade their earpads to these whenever I see another Turtle Beach headset user (unless they already have a Stealth 700, whose pads are much better, and more expensive, than these). If you own either of those headsets, I highly recommend buying these pads directly from Turtle Beach and replacing the ones that they come with. These are a perfect fit for both the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2, and the ROCCAT Elo Air 7.1. Why? Because they are incredibly comfortable, sound really good, and solve many of the problems with other Turtle Beach/ROCCAT headsets I reviewed recently. While the headband is nothing special, I believe that these earpads represent the future for several of Turtle Beach's upcoming models (or it should). It's little things like these that show that the headset designers really put a lot of thought into its design, and put the money where it's most important - comfort and sound quality. The microphone has a small groove to make sure that it goes in only one way. The cable is braided, with strain relief on both sides.

The driver is open to the ear, but protected by a high-quality mesh to keep dust out. The earcup (vertical) pivot is connected in two points, and the swivel (horizontal) is reinforced by four screws. The headband padding is a little thin, but I never found it painful. But if you examine it with functionality and cost-effectiveness in mind, it's clear that thought and care went into its design.įor example, while the headband is mostly plastic, it is buttressed with a metal adjustable slider, giving it much-needed rigidity. After looking at it closely, it's fairly well designed, with not too many places that are easy to break, but it may not give off the greatest first impression. The mostly plastic construction seems lower quality at first glance than it actually is. Now that's not to say that they didn't cut any corners. And yet here I am, looking at this affordable, great-sounding headset, thinking 'yep, I now get why Turtle Beach is the top seller in gaming audio' - these sure sound quite impressive, especially for the price! I am an admitted audiophile, and always seek out the best I can (within a budget of course), and I've always gravitated towards brands that cater to audiophile tastes. I find my personal audio journey in a bit of a strange place. Thank you Turtle Beach for sending us this headset to review!
