What's great about it: worked for 3 months
What's not so great: broke after 3 months
I Purchased a XL1 headset from BestBuy approx. 4 months ago and about a month ago the right side sound stopped working I was able to trace out the problem to a broken wire in the cable that runs from the headset to the vol. control box I am very disappointed with the quality of the product, This product was not abused in any way in fact I made sure of gentle use due to the price. I cannot recommend this product to anyone. save your money buy from another manufacturer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We love it! My son can hear everything on his game while he is playing. He can't hear the rest of the family being loud and the other players can't hear us either. It is so comfortable he falls asleep wearing them!

What's great about it: Sound quality & Price
What's not so great: Nothing so far.
I thought that this headset was going to be mediocre at best. But when I plugged this bad boy in to play Deus Ex Human Evolution... I was blown away by the sound quality and all of the other sounds that my TV never picked up. Buy this!!! I have no idea why some one would blow over $100 on the more expensive ones. I'm not a hard-core gamer, but this is the best purchase on headphones that I ever made...

What's great about it: Sound quality for price
What's not so great: connections
Having been completely dissatisfied with another brand of gaming headphones I gave this set a try.
The sound quality is very good. The ability to adjust the chat volume relative to the in game sound works very well and online friends say the voice quality of the mic is excellent, even when I whisper to keep from waking the kids.
The only thing I'd change is the connection method. They pretty much can't be used for anything else and depending on how your AV/Gaming gear is arranged, it might be a big pain to connect them.

What's great about it: In Game Quality... Sound and Microphone
What's not so great: Comfortability
The Turtle Beach XL1 headset is a low priced mid quality headset. There is no doubt that you get what you pay for this headset in my own opinion, especially considering the fact that they were only $50 with a 2 year warranted plan that allows you to replace broken headset wires and whatnot. The only bad side to this product is that the wires may get tangled, and they aren't very long. Other than that this is a great choice for your children or beginner Call of Duty, Halo, Gears of War, or any other action games. From the sound quality to the microphone quality they are both 5/5.
P.S One other bad thing is if your child, or even you, wear glasses they might become uncomfortable after long sessions of play time.

What's great about it: Sound quality, comfort,
What's not so great: none
I recommend this headset if you like playing the cod series and hate getting killed from behind or not knowing where someone is. Because with these you can here foot steps and the lowest sounds possible which helps a lot in war games. My opinion first using it was great my kills in a match doubled or tripled just because I could here where people are.
And if you are looking for a new headset get these the design is great, the price is reasonable and it will give you a great gaming experience and let you do better in games with surround sound to pin point exactly where things are coming from. If you don't like wires in the way/laying around get a wireless one because you have to connect three wires to different places. HOPE THIS HELPED

What's great about it: PRICE, SOUND
I've been using these for about a month now. I am thoroughly satisfied with this headset. The sounds that come out of them are seriously good. I used to play with just the sound that comes out of the TV, but, using this headset, the games have become more alive. You can hear things that you couldn't hear on the TV! I completely recommend these to anyone who just use the TV speakers. Trust me, you will hear all the sounds the games make. They are also good because you can crank the volume loud on the headset when the family is sleeping, you wont wake them up!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Sound, Microphone
What's not so great: Cheaply, Not backed by those who sell it
Don't waste your money. Less than two weeks after I purchased this headset, the cheap plastic they used to make this thing snapped. And this wasn't even the biggest issue I had. When I went to best buy to exchange it for another one I was turned down. Was told that I would have to take it up with Turtle Beach. So after hours of being on the phone, Turtle Beach denied me as well. Absolutely terrible. Best Buy doesn't back the products that they sell, and neither does Turtle Beach. If you want a headache, by all means, purchase this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easy to use, good price
This headset is everything a 360 player could need. It has adjustable controls to set the voice and game volume just right, the headset is comfortable, and the wire is long enough to make sure no one will be tripped by the taught wire. The quality of both game and voice quality is fantastic, and I haven't heard any complaints about how I sound on the other end. And all for the great price, there isn't anything more needed.
