Turtle Beach Battle Buds In-Ear Gaming Headset - Mobile & PC with 3.5mm, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PlayStation – Lightweight, In-Line Controls, Black

Over the ear does not do it for me. It is too hot. The band across the top of my head is real. I literally have a valley now. Earbuds are the logical solution, but noting really did it for me thus far. Microphone quality suffered. Not anymore.The mic quality here is excellent. It isn't studio quality, but I get good compliments in DayZ or Rust. I use the mic in conjunction with Nvidia Broadcast for noise cancelation. These have decent isolation, but I ham in a noisy environment and no raw mic can drowned out everything around me. The mic is amazing.The sound quality is good. You get decent directional audio, but not what you would get in a good over the ear set up. It is more than I need and I can tell where enemies are coming from along with gun shots. The bass is good, the highs are good, the mids are decent.It all comes down to fit here. If you don't get a good fit, you won't get good sound. I use the largest tips with the smallest wings. I do not need to push the buds in far. They seal outside of my canal. Sound was fairly terrible with no passive cancellation when using the smaller tips and pushing them in the canal. I get absolutely no fatigue and the buds stay in place until I want to remove them. I can do 10 hour sessions no problem. I can't say that everyone will have the same fit as we all have different ears.I highly recommend. Nothing comes close to these at 20-30$. These have spent a lot of time at 19.99 and 29.99.

Very comfortable and lightweight. I love the sound system and it's easy to use. Great if you want an alternative to headsets.

The build quality is meh, wasn't expecting too much though and feels decent enough for $30. It would be nice if the audio cable was detachable to be replaced but it's expected that something marketed at this range wouldn't do that.For the buds themselves, the audio quality is decent. Honestly, better than expected. The bass is a bit too prominent & slightly muddy in my opinion, the high end gets drowned out a bit but it doesn't have the annoying quality that some cheap earbuds do where mids are way too pronounced. Overall acceptable sound and I'm sure it sounds fine for gaming with footsteps being easier to hear.The microphone surprised me. It isn't amazing by any means but is detachable which is nice to see. It picks up my voice pretty well for only reaching partway down my cheek. Bendy, too, so you can position in whatever way sounds best. It definitely sounds like a gaming headset mic but not the worst out there. On Discord it sounded surprisingly clear even after Discord's noise suppression removed the sound of some fairly loud desk fans i had running.Overall these are worth it imo if you just need a pair of earbuds with a decent mic attached to play some games or chat online. If raw sound quality or listening to music is more of a priority then there are other earbuds out there for less money than these with better sounding drivers.I'm not super hopeful in regards to the longevity of this set as I've had poor experience with Turtle Beach build quality in the past, so I'll update this review if they end up falling apart.

I've had many turtle beaches ranging from $50 to $100 plus and these were just under $30 best purchase I've made. Highly recommend.

These IEM's (In-Ear Microphones) are pretty good in the sense that their sound quality dang near goes unrivaled (seldom higher-priced brands) and they work with my controller. I play games every day, so I'm practically always wearing these. With that in mind, I've noticed that these ear buds in particular leave the inner flap of my ear raw from extended wear. As somebody who plays anywhere from four to ten plus hours in one sitting, it can get pretty bad. One time, my inner ear flaps went completely raw (on both sides) and I had to stop wearing these completely so my wounds could scab and properly heal. The most painful couple of months (gaming-wise) I've ever experienced. In addition, since I play so often and I spend a large portion of my days with these ear buds in, naturally, my ears produce wax and that makes all the rubber pieces on the buds move around and out of place, resulting in me having to adjust and clean them quite a bit. Other than the inner ear chafing and constantly having to readjust the fitting, the sound is great and the microphone is pretty good too.I wish Turtle Beach would make a different version of these that are more comfortable to wear for long periods of time with the same if not better audio and mic quality. If they ever did, I'd get them no questions as I love IEM's.
