One thing to keep in mind, is that a lot of these headsets are NOT made to work with a PC. You should make sure that you go to TB’s website and check the specs out before you buy. I am saying this from experience. I bought one for my son assuming it would work, but I ended up having to buy a bluetooth adapter, and a new sound card with an optical out port so that we could use these. This really should have been included in the description, but whatever.

I would recommend these:
The first seems to have more features and has a rechargeable battery which will save you a lot of grief with AA batteries.

Ignore any other suggestions and get the Sony brand Gold Wireless Headset for $99 Brand new. It’s rechargeable just like the controllers for the ps4 so you won’t have to buy batteries like you would with most Turtle Beach headsets. You can get this anywhere, and GameStop for sure because I work there. It’s the best bang for your buck if you only need it for the ps4.
I’m not impressed with Turtle Beach headsets. I had a Turtle beach Earforce Z6A for my pc, and the sound quality was great, but less than 2 months after receiving it, the plastic where the earphone meets the headband cracked and broke. They did replace it under warranty, but I was without a headset for over a month while I sent them the bad one and they eventually sent me a replacement. Once I received the replacement, about a month later the replacement broke in the same exact place. I could have submitted another warranty claim at that point, but I decided to just get a different headset instead of perpetuate the cycle of being without a headset for a month at a time.
Yah that’s the thimg with a woot recert. It’s $40 more to get a full year warranty
I have the sony gold for the ps4 qnd theyndo a gfeat job for the price, however they are a 2 trick pony headphone jack or ps4
Thes px51 hqbe opticql pass through, which should mean a central source or all tv, game system. Etc.
I’m tempted by the 521 but feel like maybe they’re writhing buying new
Ps, ipad jb keybpard mod went nuts. Sorry
Purchased the Turtle Beach Ear Force Charlie (wired 7.1 headset) which isn’t in the sale today, but I thought I’d give my thoughts. Sound quality is okay, but only until about a third of the max volume. Anything more than that and the highs become shrill and the bass distorts. Bass is soft, muddy, and easily distorted. Highs are decent, but seemingly too sharp. The in-line control can be manipulated to reduce these flaws, but not by much. Positional audio seems to work for the most part although it’s not very pronounced as it would be in a normal surround setup. Sound isolation is poor, making them fairly useless in public or on the road. Poor isolation combined with distortion above half-volume makes these rather poor in noisy environments.
I know this is a gaming headset and isn’t designed with music in mind, but other than the positional audio, they’re not even terribly great for immersive gaming. These will give you hints as to what direction sounds are coming from (albeit not as well as actual speakers), but that’s about it.
It requires one USB port to power the amplifier. It’s important to note that it’s only power, not a USB DAC (read: these are analogue only!)
One big plus though, it came with a 3.5mm adapter that allows the audio and mic to pass through to my Android phone which turns it in to a rather nice phone headset.
As far as durability, I wouldn’t call them sturdy, but I haven’t broken them yet despite many reports of snapped plastic bands.
This being my first headset from them, I had higher hopes for Turtle Beach. Despite Woot’s decent price and considering they’re inexpensive for true 7.1 surround, they might not be worth the hassle and I’d suggest a higher quality two-speaker set.
