Turtle Beach Battle Buds In-Ear Gaming Headset - Mobile & PC with 3.5mm, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PlayStation – Lightweight, In-Line Controls, White/Teal

Over the ear does not do it for me. It is too hot. The band across the top of my head is real. I literally have a valley now. Earbuds are the logical solution, but noting really did it for me thus far. Microphone quality suffered. Not anymore.The mic quality here is excellent. It isn't studio quality, but I get good compliments in DayZ or Rust. I use the mic in conjunction with Nvidia Broadcast for noise cancelation. These have decent isolation, but I ham in a noisy environment and no raw mic can drowned out everything around me. The mic is amazing.The sound quality is good. You get decent directional audio, but not what you would get in a good over the ear set up. It is more than I need and I can tell where enemies are coming from along with gun shots. The bass is good, the highs are good, the mids are decent.It all comes down to fit here. If you don't get a good fit, you won't get good sound. I use the largest tips with the smallest wings. I do not need to push the buds in far. They seal outside of my canal. Sound was fairly terrible with no passive cancellation when using the smaller tips and pushing them in the canal. I get absolutely no fatigue and the buds stay in place until I want to remove them. I can do 10 hour sessions no problem. I can't say that everyone will have the same fit as we all have different ears.I highly recommend. Nothing comes close to these at 20-30$. These have spent a lot of time at 19.99 and 29.99.

Very comfortable and lightweight. I love the sound system and it's easy to use. Great if you want an alternative to headsets.

I got tired of bringing out my full-sized over-the-ear headset and this seems to be a good alternative. After a week of using it, it has some flaws, but for $20, it's actually quite good.First, the cord is quite short. It may be fine for mobile use, but inadequate for PC use. It also has the TRRS plug that is popular on mobile but requires an adapter for the PC (which is NOT included!) Fortunately I have one of those adapters onhand (for my older headset) but it was STILL short. An additional 18-24 inch extension plus a PC Y-adapter should really be included, but were not.Second, the volume control is a TINY slider. And it was noticeably heavier as it's on one side. It should be down at the Y-juncture so the weight is distributed evenly, but then I guess it would not be a good place to act as a secondary microphone.Third, the detachable boom microphone is both a blessing and a curse. While it's nice that such an option is offered, it's on the SAME SIDE as the controls, and that weighs down that side EVEN MORE! The whole thing's just unbalanced, and the boom mic only made it worse.The only retention mechanisms are the inner ear "wings" and the silicon earbud that you push into the ear canal. Given the weight on the left side with the boom mic and the control bud, my left side bud keeps falling out of my ear. NOT kidding. They really need some sort of a hook, a clip, or a magnet attachment or something to let us clip it to my shirt so it doesn't "drag down" and threaten to make my earbud fall out of my ear every 15-30 minutes. A tougher "wing" for inside the ear may help, but it wasn't offered. And yes, I used the largest wing available. Doesn't help much.With that said, noise isolation isn't bad, and using it without the boom mic helps a little with the retention. And the sound is decent. I'm not an audiophile so I can't tell you about the mids, lows and highs. I'll just say they work fine while they stayed in my ears.I would probably use a foam tip on the left side (the side with boom and controls) to help with the retention. It's pretty good for its size and simplicity.EDIT: I end up using foam tips on these (you can buy like 10 pairs on Amazon for like $7.00) and that helps with retention too. I no longer use the larger headset for the PC.

nice if you don’t like the pressure of a headset on your ears. super clear audio.

The sound and mic are decent. Not particularly high quality but loud and clear. This product fulfills a niche decently. There aren't a lot of things this small that have a mic near the mouth and don't need a battery or USB -- this combination of size, sound, and cabling is what I needed for traveling and taking zoom+discord calls. I might try some mild gaming with them, too. I also regularly use some AirPods Pro which is difficult comparison.. the airpods are *a lot* more technology and cost. But for those who have this as a reference point I'd say these turtle beach buds do better with their mic in competing noise, and this is almost entirely just because you can get it closer to your mouth. Otherwise, they're less comfortable (significantly) but usable. The airpods actually fail me when it comes to pairing them to a PC and trying to have a call around other people or even a mild breeze, their mic is just so poor in that scenario unless I'm quite loud which I don't want to be.So what do I really rate this thing?Listening sound quality: 3.5 / 5 (weighed upwards due to the price point)Speaking sound quality: 3.9 / 5 (surprisingly good for size/price? definitely imperfect)Comfort: 2.5 / 5 (worried about wearing these more than an hour...)Aesthetic: 3.0 /5 (look and feel cheap, extra plastic for a logo, but better than headphones, i guess?)Design: 2.5 (these rely on an attempt to be supported by your ear that is pretty weird, but is probably the only way to support the wire and their size... big compared to airpods, but tiny compared to full headphones)The total for my pair however is a 1/5 because they're absolutely used already. They've covered in dust, the box came with the stickers open and clearly having been reapplied a dozen times, and there's even a dent in the metal mesh that covers one of the speakers. I bought "new." That said I'm getting on a flight shortly with no time to return so I wiped them down and am keeping them.
