What customers say about "Key Specs"

PDP Afterglow LVL 3

Very nice gaming headset! Comfortable, lightweight and stylish.
With great sound, a well designed integrated microphone, and a great setup, this wired headset beats out most wireless ones.
The best part is how much outside noise it’s cancels when you’re using them. Would absolutely recommend this product.
The only complaint i have is due to the tightness and the tightness of the padding around the ears it does run a little hot with extended wear.

Turtle Beach Recon 50X White Stereo Gaming Headset

The sound is perfect you can hear all steps and explosions!
The headset is rather light and comfortable to wear for an extended period of time.
These headphones crapped out after 1 month. Was satisfied at first but the connection became full of static and had to trash them.

What customers say about "Headset"

PDP Afterglow LVL 3

They're comfortable even after a few hours, the sound quality is good enough & the microphone bends however you need it to!
The sound is very good, and while they don't do a lot of network chatting while gaming, the PS4 can understand voice directions very well through the attached microphone.

What customers say about "Features"

PDP Afterglow LVL 3

They are comfortable to wear and have a nice long cord so that you can sit where you want within the room where your system is.
The box indicates these work on PC which they do but what is not really clear on the box is the 4 ft cord is designed to be plugged into a wireless controller.

Turtle Beach Recon 50X White Stereo Gaming Headset

Awesome. Very comfy fit and connected easily into the controller with no need for adapter. Overall, awesome product.
Flip up to mute microphone that is pretty sensitive works great for gaming.
Nice features, moveable mic, comfortable ear covers, easy adjustment, volume levels.
