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, White/Teal

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.

Got mine a week or so ago & these are amazing! Took a bit to get the frequencies adjusted & tuned in Modern Warfare but man o man the sounds is unrivaled! Footsteps clear as day, just what a gamer wants & great value!!!

UPDATED!The smallest mushroom tip set was used, had someone else’s ear crust on them which was a lil suspect, but they work great! Different sizes of in-ear stabilizers along with the different sized mushroom tips make these super customizable for comfort, which is pretty great thus far. Sound is clear and crisp, setting on the xbox allow for mixing of in-game sound and voice chat sound, in-line mute and volume control works as expected. Was missing the carrying pouch.UPDATE: carrying pouch was found! Comfort is an issue *for me* because of the bulb behind the speakers. Behavior, compatibility, sound wuality both directions is great.

For a long time, I had been using a head-band style headset for video and conference calls. I prefer a single ear cup so I can hear my own voice with the other ear. Also, I prefer analog (3.5mm plug) rather than USB or wireless as it minimizes audio delay. I was getting tired of how the headband felt on long calls, and the way the headset looked bulky on video. I searched on Amazon and the Turtle Beach Battle Buds looked like a good solution, in fact the only good solution I could find. They come with many different sized ear tips and ear fins, but the default ones were immediately comfortable to me. By the way, you don't need to use the ear fins at all if you don't like them. The first thing I tested were the microphones. The pinhole mic built into the volume control was acceptable but not crisp. Then, I plugged in the boom mic, which is the main feature of these ear buds. It is fantastic! I couldn't ask for anything better for the voice quality: crisp, detailed, natural. The ear bud audio quality for listening to voice is unremarkable in a good way... not boomy, not harsh... just right. I tested on music (which is not how I'll be using these) and it is pleasing with good bass. Conference call audio from Teams, Zoom and others is monoaural by default, so I simply put in the left ear bud and leave the right one out: I get the one-ear config that I like so I can hear my own voice. I've been sitting here with the left ear bud and boom mic for about an hour now and I'm feeling no fatigue. Don't let the gaming branding scare you off for using these for business purposes. The design is classy and subdued, the mic is great, the ear tips are comfortable, and I won't look like Lobot from the Empire Strikes Back on my calls anymore. Thanks Turtle Beach!

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.
