When I was originally pitched the idea to review CozyPhones, I assumed it had something to do with phones, and more likely yet, cell phones. Well, I suppose there was some truth to that thought, but ultimately, what arrived at my door was more of a headphone device than a phone device. Lost yet? So was I, until I unleashed these products on my kids. Then things got interesting.
While we can all admit that the chat capabilities on the Nintendo Switch are less than ideal, it's still great to see companies coming together to release headsets that will work with your Nintendo Switch and mobile device, whether you are using it for audio calls while you play, or via the Nintendo Mobile application. Astro and Nintendo have teamed up to create the ideal, premium headset for Nintendo Switch ...
We review a ton of headsets on GamesReviews.com, and generally they are all doing things well, providing the features you would expect in a specific price range, and ultimately realizing that purchasing power comes down to brand loyalty, and at times, even things as trivial as colour schemes. Enter Turtle Beach's latest high quality, high priced headset: the Elite Pro 2 + SuperAmp. While I originally wasn't sure ...
Thanks to our good friends at SteelSeries, I recently was given an Arctis 5 headset to review, and I must say that my first impressions were very mixed. It didn’t look flashy, it had a middle-of-the-road feel for both weight and sturdiness and it wasn’t wireless. From someone whose baseline headset is the Logitech G933, it was the exact opposite of what I had become used to. After using the headset for 30+ ...
A couple weeks ago I wrote a news article about the exciting release of Turtle Beach’s latest line of PC Gaming headsets which promised to bring PC gaming audio accessories to a new level. I recently got my hands on the Atlas One and Elite Atlas headsets to put them to the test. I broke down the headsets’ performance into numerous categories when analyzing them for review: Sound Quality, Microphone Quality, ...
Top gaming headset and audio accessory producer Turtle Beach has just announced the release of ‘Atlas’, their newest line of PC gaming headsets. This new line is comprised of three different models; the Elite Atlas for pro-level performance, the Atlas Three for powerful amplified sound, and the Atlas One which delivers true versatility and great value.
Thanks to our good friends at Turtle Beach, we had the opportunity to use the Turtle Beach Stealth 300 for a few months, and have thoroughly enjoyed our experience with it. Although we weren't crazy about everything the headset had to offer, it was a quality product for a great price, and anyone looking for that entry level headset would be well serviced by this device. Let's dive in!
A few months ago, the good people at Beyerdynamic sent us a box full of headsets, both those for casual listening and those for gaming. One of those sets within the box was the Aventho Wireless, an expensive but highly featured headset that provides quality Bluetooth audio from your device to your ears. While I wasn't a fan of the tiny ear cups, the sound was superb. Let's dive in.
This will likely be one of the shortest headset reviews I've ever done on GamesReviews, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. A few weeks ago, HyperX sent over the Cloud Stinger Core for the PS4 for us to try out, and my experience with the headset has been phenomenal, although for the price. At only 39.99 USD, the Cloud Stinger Core is quickly undercutting most of its competitors with this device, and ...
Turtle Beach is no stranger to headset releases, especially those tied to video game launches. Although not directly licenced, it was no coincidence that the Turtle Beach Recon Camo headset launched alongside Call of Duty: WWII! We've had this headset for a few weeks now, and have really been enjoying most aspects of it. Let's dive in, and you can see if it's the right fit for your needs and budget!
There are often serious debates about the necessity of a headphone set for your Xbox One or PS4, and when people decide it is important - paramount, in my opinion if you wish to game online with friends - the discussion over what needs to be included, and what price you should pay, often leaves consumers going crazy. With so many headsets available on the market, it is sometimes hard to decide which one is best ...
Performance Design Products has released a number of headsets over the last few years, and to date, none of their recent products have compared to the outstanding AG 9+ they released a few years ago. That's not to say their other products are bad; far from it, as PDP always releases quality products that customers are bound to love. With my AG 9+ reaching the end of their life cycle - over hundreds of hours of ...
The Astro Gaming name is synonymous with gaming, and for years everyone has assumed that Astro headsets are outside the reach of the average gamer. In the past, this was definitely true, but Astro is running lines of Headsets at a much lower cost, and the Astro A40 TR Headset - aimed at PC and MAC users, but compatible with newer Xbox One controllers and PS4 - is a great headset that comes in at a modest $150 ...
Purchasing a pair of ear buds to supplement - or in many cases replace - the pair that came with your phone is not an easy task as many companies have products on the market that they want you to buy. When I generally go online to look for a quality pair of buds, I tend to begin in the 100-150 dollar price range, as generally, these provide a great sounds for a modest price. That isn't to say I don't do the ...
When you first hear the word Astro Gaming in the video game marketplace, you probably are thinking about a headset that is more than likely way outside your price range. For the longest time, this statement would have been, for the most part, very true. However, Astro has taken a stab at the entry level gaming headset with the launch of the Astro A10 headset; thanks to Astro Gaming, we were able to review the ...
Today, Turtle Beach announced the worldwide retail availability of the Stealth 700 and Stealth 600 headsets. When we originally posted the announcement of these two new headsets, we commented on the wireless connectivity for the Stealth 600 and 700 on the Xbox One. That means no cords and no connectors, but rather a headset that functions much like your Xbox One controller. Here are more details from Turtle Beach PR.
As the market continues to get saturated with different types and brands of headsets, companies are looking to slash costs as much as humanly possible. I remember during the hey-days of the PS3 and Xbox 360, where a good gaming headset would easily set a gamer back at least $200! Today, that isn't the case, as more and more companies are opting for sub $100 units. Enter Turtle Beach (again) who have launched the ...
Last year, Turtle Beach launched the Elite Pro Gaming headset which worked across the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and it was actually a unit one of our reviewers purchased at the time, but never wrote a review on. His thoughts overall that it was a better than average headset at about the right price point, although there was always a bit of discomfort from wearing the unit for long periods of time. When Turtle Beach ...
San Diego, CA – July 17, 2017 – Leading gaming headset and audio accessory makerTurtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ: HEAR) today announced the new XO THREE officially licensed gaming headset for Xbox One and RECON 150 for PlayStation®4 are now available at retail. Both headsets feature large 50mm speakers (with 56% more surface area compared to the 40mm drivers found in other gaming headsets in this price range) ...
There is nothing flash about the ARCTIS 3 headset from Steel Series, but that is perfectly OK with me. I've been using this product for a few weeks now - on both my Xbox One and PS4 - and I can safely say that for 79.99, you are getting a product that is definitely worth the price. Read on for more of our thoughts on the ARCTIS 3.
Over the past number of years, we have reviewed a ton of headsets from Performance Design Products, and for the most part, they never disappoint. Although their products generally come in on the cheaper end of the spectrum, they always seem to provide way more than competitive brands in the same price range. So how does PDP's 2016 line up of headsets compare? Read on for more!
A few weeks ago, the good people over at Turtle Beach sent over the Xbox One, 100% wireless Stealth 420X+ headset for us to review. One of the big downsides to the Xbox One is that most headsets are not truly wireless, and the wireless options available on the marketplace have been few and far between. Does the 420X+ provide enough incentives for giving players the ability to go completely wireless? Lets find ...
If you haven’t read our review of the Siberia 800 headset, head over to that and see why we loved it so much. Although the 800 series deviates from the traditional suspension design that makes SteelSeries products the most comfortable on the market, so many other great features made it an outstanding, elite gaming headset. The company is taking that design to the next level with the Siberia 840 Wireless ...
Headsets are getting better and headsets are getting cheaper. Creative is one company making this step, and doing it quickly - the Sound BlasterX H7 Headset brings a $200+ headset to the $120-150 price range, and does not sacrifice any features. When it comes to audio, mic clarity, and comfort, the Sound BlasterX H7 is one of the best headsets I have ever used.
The Steel Series Siberia 350 Headset falls into that mid range category when it comes to pricing, and these headsets are always the hardest to make a decision on. With so many headsets coming in just a bit cheaper - 99.99 compared to 119.99 - it is sometimes hard to justify some of the enhancements for the 20 or 30 dollars more that you will pay. Does Steel Series help justify the extra money in the value they ...
I've used high end headsets before, but none of them have been as user friendly as the Steel Series Siberia X800 headset. Through ease of use and outstanding audio quality, for over 300.00, you won't find a much better headset. There are no major aesthetic bells and whistles to this headset - like there are in many headsets from other companies - but with this release, Steel Series is pursuing functionality and ...
We are back with yet another PDP gaming headset review. Why wouldn't we be? Overall, every headset from PDP has received a passing grade from us here at Games Reviews, and many of you have hit us up on social media to let us know which headset you bought and why. What Performance Design Products has going for them is not necessarily having the best headset available, but for providing a better than average ...
I've been told my others outside of Steel Series - they told me too - that the now discontinued Siberia V2 headset was a must have more many PC gamers, and when the product was discontinued and replaced with the V3, fans complained...a lot. So, Steel Series is bringing back the V2 in seven different color variations, making a few changes, and rebranding them as the Steel Series Siberia 200 headset. Does it still ...
The Afterglow line-up of headsets from PDP are easily recognizable. In fact, I'd argue they might be one of hte most recognizable brand of headsets on the market. While the Afterglow brand lives on, PDP is launching a new line of headsets aimed at dedicated and hardcore gamers. PDP is packing a lot of product into three new budget headsets: the LVL 1, the LVL 3, and the LVL 5+.
Steel Series makes a wide range of products, but at Games Reviews we are most interested in their line-up of headsets. We review their new Siberia X100 and X300 headsets for the Xbox One , and noted their superior comfort compared to other, similarly prices headsets. Steel Series reached out to us when we provided them with our review coverage with an offer to test out one of their older headsets, the Elite ...
