Dire_Wolf Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 A friend told me about Turtle Beach Px21 headset and said it is good, and i am thinking of buying it. But to double check that i might be buying a good product i wanna ask you all if you have a Turtle Beach Px21 what you think of it. Also please rate the headset from a scale of 1-10! P.S Being able to speak with friends and hearing friends is the most important to me. Game sounds is not important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game sounds is not important to me.Why buy these then?Listen dude, interacting with a game's enviromental sounds is no important to me at all. Do you know why? Because i can get that experience by just using a TV. Therefor i can EASILY settle for only good interacting with friends. Why buy a headset with mic? The biggest factor for why for many people do that is to interact with other people. Yes...Interact with people, and don't get why you ask such a stupid question.

Solartide Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Uh anywyay, I use a pair of Logitech notebook headphones, it comes in a case and it's behind the ears, so it's pretty comfortable. Don't know the ones you're talking about, but mine are pretty sweet and I'd recommend them: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=logitech+notebook+headset&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=11498910889759091783&ei=yWodTNWIEIGmM6Xj7Z8N&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCwQ8wIwAA# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I use my Skullcandy GIs sometimes when I'm playing free for all. You don't need to talk to me like I don't have friends either, that was just rude. I know very well what a head set with a mic is for.

tripsis Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Whoa whoa whoa! halo2proman asked why you were considering this headset because he has heard that the people who typically buy it are interested in it because of the game environmentals. So I think he's suggesting that if that doesn't matter to you, you could probably find another headset that isn't known for good game environmentals and thus may be cheaper. That's just my interpretation of his posts, I know nothing about this headset or any other one for that matter :P - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dire_Wolf Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 I just got annoyed that he wasted his first post on a question. But i heard that Turtle Beach Px21 is good, and of course i want good game enviroments, but i can give away the enviromental sounds for just interacting part.

Thanks though for your comment TripWhat Trip said, but if you are getting these for a console, why not get a regular headset that they sell? I'm not sure of Sony's PS3 headsets. But Microsoft's 360 headsets work just fine for the $20. However if its for the PC I can understand you, but to spend so much money on a head set, for a console, thats meant for the game environment, and to use it for chatting, just didn't make sense to me.Sorry for the confusion.It was not my intention to cause this ruckus.

My sister bought a Sony Ps3 Headset (Wireless Bluetooth). I wouldn't call it a headset, but it has earpluggs and mic, and i find it totally crap. From a scale of 1-10 of good sound quality I'd say it's 5/10. Like i said a friend recommend Turtle beach, and it's a universal Headset and it seems many people are satisfied with it. So i thought why not? I'd like to get a cheap Headset, but if it's not good for talking and hearing others then it will just be a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracion1 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Before I got my G35s I used to use a Logitech Clearchat Pro headset, which cost about £20, and the sound quality on that was pretty good :) Just take note when you're buying of what type of connector you get, headsets have either an audio jack (goes in headphone socket) or USB connector.

VARN Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I have used it; after five months the microphone stopped working. Best Buy stopped selling the model I purchased; I then bought the wireless one. For some reason they made the frequency the same as the XBox wireless network adapter, that means I need to disconnect it before I can connect to the internet.

Pinkbullet3 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I think you're better off just buying a cheap headset/mic from like, Target or something. You might need some kind of extension cable if you're gonna sit quite a ways from the TV. Up to you, though, if you wanna spend $65+ on a headset moreso for chatting than environmental. ^ Blog.

Animaslayer Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 if all your bothered about is talking to your friends then why buy turtle beaches. they are made for hearing sounds your tv cant make loud enough. whats wrong with a bog standard mic if thats all you want? Dragon Drops: Platelegs x9, Med Helms x7, Plateskirts x4, Shield Left Half x3, At least 75+ Boots!, Hatchets x5, Ruined Shard x1, Solo Claws x2, Dragon 2Hander x1, Spear x2Whip x27, Dark Bows x9, Draconic Visage x1 <- do that when you see me :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IXxPURITYxXI Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 The entire point of Turtle Beach headsets is to allow the user to locate the origin of sounds. They work by having multiple speakers per ear, giving a surround-sound feel, which allows me to hear when an enemy is sneaking up behind me in COD, for example, so I can turn around and knife him quickly. Turtle Beaches are not cheap, but I do suggest buying an X4, if this is what you're looking for. It's double the price, but is well worth it in terms of durability and Dolby 5.1 support. I use X4's, and I am a competitive gamer (participate in SEAL Cup, Frag Cup, etc) and it's more than enough. There's also a Voice Booster, which boosts the voice chat volume when the game volume gets loud, so chat won't be drowned out. I don't know if the ones you are looking at has that feature, so you should check it out. Make sure that the voice chat and the game volume can be adjusted separately, or you'll find yourself struggling to hear your friends over the game. However, if you only want to chat, all $70+ headsets are overkill, including Turtle Beach and Triton. Just get a simple Xbox mic and be done with it. || ex-LGZ High Council || ex-T0 Member || ex-LND Member|| ^ click ^ Proud Divine Knights Clan MW2 Member.
