 you're watching impulse on the freedom network and now here's anthony thank you i appreciate you and i appreciate our audience today i want to talk to you about this this is the turtle beach xl1 wired headset i spent about nine ten hours on this headset using it and um i don't like it i'll be honest this headset has very rigid foam around the ears and it also presents a few other issues when you start connecting it to different kinds of consoles and other things it's not really what i would think is a high quality headset the microphone is not nearly as positional as you would assume that it is it's got an annoying click to it when you move the microphone and all in all i just really don't like it it's made out of cheap plastic and it just it it reeks of cheap the xl1 does include the color green which is probably messing with our chroma keying however i'm trying to keep it as minimized as possible um it's very bright it the there are no lights on it however it does kind of hurt the eyes just look at it the green on black it just doesn't work for this particular headset it's a mess microphone quality on the headsets probably about a four and that's even already trying to compensate for the fact that it's a headset and not something like a condenser microphone the padding on the top of the headset is kind of like a gel foam type material which sounds good to start with except for it kind of makes your head sweat and that coupled with the strange padding on the ears just makes it work it it just makes it kind of uncomfortable to use and it made the whole testing experience i didn't enjoy it turtle beach get on your game and make some better headsets all jokes aside this headset isn't necessarily so bad once you take the price point into consideration you can pick these up for like 30 40 bucks or so they're not insanely pricey but they're just not where they need to be for my personal seal approval this headset does say that it's only compatible with the xbox 360 however i did get it to work with an xbox one to a limited capacity and of course my pc as well which is one of the reasons why i'm a pc gamer everything works the court does include the ability to change volume for chat separately from the end game which is awesome but we've come to expect that from turtle beach so it's i mean it's a great feature however it's one that we kind of walked into knowing that we have or at least assuming if you have any experience with this unit or any like it let us know in the comment section down below if you have any thoughts or concerns or questions about the product let me know if you have any requests about future things that i should unbox and or review let us know in the comment section down there and yeah till next time on anthony like subscribe comments please oh also you can always find me at youtube.com slash anthony smith freedom you thought it'd be anything this time well guess what it's cousin here to do review i'm here to do the review on the zora 2 headset made by noontech all right guys all your secrets if you really look at yourself you would be speechless what happened to being doctors and teachers what happened to being your brother's keeper nowadays kids
