Turtle Beach P11 Review

These are the Turtle Beach P11 Gaming Headphones. These are the lowest end headphones that Turtle Beach makes, and that is very apparent to a user. These headphones as you can see below are a bit taller than a PS3 controller when fully compressed. When the headband is adjusted though, they become much larger and are able to fit almost any head. The mic is long and very adjustable. The comfort on these isn't very good, the ear-cups feel too small and they headphones don't put any pressure on your head, causing the ear cups to feel like they are resting on you ears. The material on the ear pads feels like cheap carpet.

 These headphones aren't all bad though, this little box you see below is great. It controls microphone on, off, and mute. There are also dials to control chat volume, and game volume. I love these dials, they make the headphones so mush more versatile. You can plug the 3.5mm jack into a source of your choice, and the USB cord into your PlayStation, and you will be able to control the 3.5mm source with the game volume dial, and the PS3 chat with the chat dial. Essentially you can listen to music and talk to your friends on PSN at the same time, which is awesome.

 Below you see the two primary cords for hookup, the USB goes into your PlayStation, while the 3.5mm jack goes into whatever you want to listen too.

 If you want to use volume from the game your playing, like most people, you will use this cord. Plug the two   RCA's into their respective RCA's from your PlayStation. From there you will plug your 3.5mm jacks into each other and your good to go.

The sound is nothing great, but is good for playing games and chatting with friends. You will find it lacks bass and the middle notes will be very recessed, but that makes this good for hearing footsteps and gunfire, which it does well.

Overall, this product has a lot of features and uses, so it is good set of headphones if you don't have the money for anything better. They can be found on Amazon for about $50 and include free shipping.
