Circuit Programmable Surround Console Headset 63043006306200 Review

IMPORTANT UPDATE 5232013 Like many others, my left ear cup went out. I didnt drop them, never mishandled them in anyway, always took the best care of them, and yet the ear cup still went out. Turtle Beach promptly responded to my issue with an RMA request. They didnt try to troubleshoot it at all (because they know its an issue I assume). So I sent my XP Seven back to them.

It is very well packaged. It appears to be a quality headset from the moment you open the box.

(this includes a specific cable that comes with the standard mp3 player controls on the cord, nice!). COMFORTBUILD QUALITY This is the most solid TB headset I have ever held. It doesnt feel quite as solid as Astro A40s, but it comes pretty close. The memory foam feels better than that which is on the TB Tangos. The headset is pretty tight on my head, but I have a pretty big head. However, it isnt so tight that it bothers me, even after extended gaming sessions. I have k
