What a sound

Wonderful sound, good 5.1 effects although not as good as any surround speakers it does actually work. The earphone material seems a little sweaty against the skin.

Takes a little time

I own the Tritton Ax51 Pro Gaming Headset alongside this pair of Turtle Beach Ear Force HPA2. I've used both for a period of time now as well, each about four months or so. Very important note about the HPA2 in the conclusion. Build Quality: -The Ear...

I bought these headsets cause I've always been interested in a 5.1 Stereo Headset. I've had one other 5.1 pair that lasted a few month from IOmagic. I've usually stuck with regular stereo headphones from Sennheiser. This headset is bad. I mean, the...

Best bang for your buck

These headsets are the best bang for your buck 5.1 headset on the market. I tried tritton pro's before this and the sound quality was sub par compared to these. As far as sound quality i would say that the lows are excellent, mids and highs good. the...

Product Specifications

Designed for the serious PC gamer to better discriminate from where audio cues originate, the HPA2 feature true 5.1 surround sound with front, center, surround and subwoofer speaker drivers in each ear cup, powered by a multi-channel in-line amplifier. While most high-quality stereo headphones only contain a single 40mm driver, the HPA2 feature a 40mm front, a 40mm surround, a 30mm center, and a discrete subwoofer driver in each ear cup. These high-quality and large diameter drivers dramatically improve the positional cues that are crucially important during serious gaming.
