Surprisingly good for the price.
Compared to the much more expensive Plantronics 5200, using the USB dongle for Teams meetings:- Range is significantly better.- Battery life is significantly better.- Microphone quality seems to be comparable (although this is based solely on anecdotal “sounds fine” comments from coworkers.)- Sound quality is not quite as good, but still quite functional.- Comfort is not quite as good. (But this could be due to 1. me not having tried the other ear tips yet, and 2. wearing it for longer periods of time, simply because I CAN wear it for longer periods of time thanks to the improved battery life.) It is a slightly larger/bulkier unit, which is noticeable when it’s hanging on your ear.Other minor differences between this unit and the Plantronics 5200:- There is no voice telling you the remaining talk time when you turn it on.- The USB dongle does not turn red when you mute it. Instead, it turns from a solid blue to a slowly fading in and out blue, which means you have to stare at it for a couple seconds to really be able to tell if it’s muted or not.- No charging case.Conclusion: There’s a few minor caveats, but considering the Plantronics 5200 is probably 3x the price of this unit, this is a great purchase overall.

Great for work – Teams, Zoom, Phone – buying a second!
I’ve owned this headset for a year and a half and have only ever had minor issues with connectivity on a Windows 10 and a Windows 11 PC. I’ve used it on three different computers with no issues connecting via the USB dongle (our company disables Bluetooth, so the dongle is a must for me).I spend a lot of my time on the phone with health insurance companies and a lot of my calls are 30+ minutes. This headset is great for longer conversations and doesn’t get uncomfortable. I like it so much I’m buying a second one to avoid having to travel back and forth from the office with it. The headsets we have on site are miserable compared to this lightweight, tiny one.It also has a great feature where it starts to give you intermittent beeping when the battery is low. The charging is super quick and I only charge it once a week despite daily work use.

Great product, but…
The technology Turtle Beach has is superb. Only complain are the materials used for their products… Too cheap compared to the awesome tech. After a few days the earpiece tends to bend down (put nail polish to fix its position). Other than that, great noise cancellation and sound quality.

Weird ear angle
It works fine but it doesnât fit well. The ear piece is tilted and it canât be adjusted to move back so the mic is just all in your face

Noise cancelling, but cancels the wrong noise.
Bought this for my husband to use with his PS4. He has the original version and I have a PS4 Slim. When he first got it, we hooked it up to my PS4 Slim and it seemed to work well.But a few days later he unplugged it and moved it to his original PS4 and that’s where the trouble started. The mic just would not work. No matter how we adjusted the microphone settings all you could hear on the other end was a random robot sound and no actual voice.Thinking something just happened with that one, I returned it and requested a replacement with the same model. Well the new one just arrived Sunday and yesterday was the first time we got to test it out.While this one did seem to connect a bit better it was like it was purposefully blocking out HIS voice. I was on the other end in a game with him and could hear his TV, the dogs moving around in the room, every time he set his drink down on the table.. but his voice was being blocked almost completely with the exception of a few robot sounds every so often.I guess if you sound like a soda bottle this might work great but it’s certainly not gonna work for his masculine voice.

Had it about a month and like it
I’m in Florida, about halfway from top to bottom of state. It’s warm here “most of the time” and hot here “quite a bit of the time” so wearing something over my ears all but about 10 days a year is a hard no. I have a PS4 so I just can’t buy any old bluetooth headset so I bought this. I love it. It can be super loud. Inside the PS4 settings the microphone has the option to go up 20 bars or so…..I run this on the 3rd one. Too loud if I go higher. This is a good thing as that means there’s plenty more sound for anyone that can’t hear very well. I’ve got a short 6″ USB C cable I plugged into PS4 and when I’m done playing games I can just plug it in to charge. Great little headset. If anything happens to it I’ll come back and edit the review.

Works wonderfully
Pairs well with my PS5 and works as intended – no complaints so far as it holds it charge very well.

Total let down from Turtle beach.
So, two months in, the mic boom no longer holds up by itself. If I try to adjust it, it just slips down again and will not remain where I adjust it to. The earpiece is constantly sliding out of my ear and none of the other sized ear pieces seem to help with that. I think it is the weight of the mic boom and the ear hook not really doing it’s job, I had high hopes with a Turtle Beach branded product but it looks far better than it works. Oh, and not a fan of the 2 hour power off timer that cannot be disabled. Why make a headset that claims to have over ten hours of play then worry about turning the power off after 2 hours? The genius at Turtle beach that came up with that should be fired. It at least should have been user configurable.

This is a great product for me. I wanted something that didn’t suffer from terrible bluetooth call quality which this has 2.4Ghz USB receiver so no bluetooth for Windows. It has a discrete dedicated mute button. And a quality microphone that is also adjustable.For me this product would be better if there was an on-ear option instead of in-ear, that would be more comfortable and make hearing the outside better (I am deaf in the other ear).But I just don’t put it all the way into my ear and it works well. Very happy to have found a single ear, USB, quality microphone product. I tried many before this…Recommend.

When I was testing the headset it seemed to work well. But as soon as I move more than 1.5 meters away from my playstation the sound quality is terrible. My friend tells me I sound like a robot if she can hear me at all. I’ve had to go back to my wired headset
