What customers say about "Key Specs"
PDP Afterglow LVL 3
  • Very nice gaming headset! Comfortable, lightweight and stylish.
  • With great sound, a well designed integrated microphone, and a great setup, this wired headset beats out most wireless ones.
  • The best part is how much outside noise it’s cancels when you’re using them. Would absolutely recommend this product.
  • The only complaint i have is due to the tightness and the tightness of the padding around the ears it does run a little hot with extended wear.
Turtle Beach Recon 50X White Stereo Gaming Headset
  • The sound is perfect you can hear all steps and explosions!
  • The headset is rather light and comfortable to wear for an extended period of time.
  • These headphones crapped out after 1 month. Was satisfied at first but the connection became full of static and had to trash them.

What customers say about "Headset"
PDP Afterglow LVL 3
  • They're comfortable even after a few hours, the sound quality is good enough & the microphone bends however you need it to!
  • The sound is very good, and while they don't do a lot of network chatting while gaming, the PS4 can understand voice directions very well through the attached microphone.
