Ear Force Z1_ but be gentle

 

As usual, Newegg is spot-on with their on-line presentation, tech info, order handling and delivery. No one else remotely approaches. When UPS or FEDEX is the delivery agent, they equal the excellence of Newegg. These three are #1!

Convoluted 'Rube Goldberg' design that, if sturdy, could please. In daily use and works rather well after repair of design/material fault. Recommended buy, only, at fifteen bucks or less with free shipping. Above average sound performance at the price....

Articulated earpieces, where attached to headband swivel, are guaranteed to break at their mounting. I noted others caveats regarding this matter prior to purchase and, yes, it is a simple matter to epoxy a substantial collar sufficient to resist the...

Not reccomended

 

It was definitely very good the first few months I owned it, very good sound quality and great virtual surround environment

They broke after a few months of VERY careful use, I read the reviews and thought "these people just didn't care about their headset, I will take lots of care of mine" didn't work. I had a little hanger i put them on to ensure they wouldn't touch...

Falling Apart

 

Sound quality was okay. Headphones are large enough and clamp down hard enough that it blocks most sound out for good immersion

Things are literally falling apart. Either cheap material or poor manufacturing (injection molding) process. Had to tape one earphone on after a few months of use, and the other just fell off, separated at the plastic with no force or stress on it. I...

Disappointed

 

Do Not Buy this low quality garbage

Decent sound and worked good for online FPS multiplayer

Very poor construction. Both ear swivels broke within 2 months of careful use. Currently using a 6 dollar headset (with no mic) and they are more solid than the turtle beach combo

DO NOT BUY!!!!

 

Bought at Walmart as well. Broke 2weeks later. The joint where the plastic post connects to the earpiece's semi-circular swivel snapped due to excessive tension. The plastic post is only connected by a thin outer edge to the earpiece swivel. I do not...

Sound Really good

Plastic is Junk

They were the best I'd own...for just over 3 months

 

I'd heard about Turtle beach from the most expensive headsets which got positive reviews. I figured I would try a set to see how they really were. They were fantastic for a while other than the fact they made my ears hurt. By the end of the first month...

great sound

Hurt my ears, both ear cups broke with in a month without rough handling, cord suddenly shorted out killing all sound

Headphones

 

Overall I am highly satisfied and would recommend these to friends.

Sound quality is amazing for the price, Noise canceling works very well bought 2 pairs, one set came broken at the base, plastic is weak around the earphones base handle with care and they will last along time

Weak plastic will not withstand rough handling

They were amazing

 

I bought mine at Wal-mart, personally (It was an emergency buy.)

Good sound quality, very good bass

The treb seemed weak, and they hurt to wear. I've had them for only about 3 weeks and the headphone clean broke off (excluding the wire.)

Turtle Beach Ear Force Z1 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Noise-Reduction PC Gaming Headset with Stereo Sound

 

Cheap construction, would not recommend to anyone.

Comfortable and sounded good. Decent bass

The problem is that the swivel bracket on the right side broke off while I was wearing it. The only was to fix it was to superglue it and even that doesn't work well. This happened within the first few weeks of ownership
