"They were comfortable—the foam wrappers seem especially thick—but oversized and awkward. And I haven't even gotten to how they sound. Sound quality waived between 'acceptable' and 'pleasant,' depending on the music or audio source used—even while using the Turtle's on the same hardware. I had hoped that the powered noise-canceling hardware would also serve as a low-rent amplifier, too, but the volume and sound quality difference when the hardware was on didn't seem to be noticeable."Gizmodo reviews the Turtle Beach noise cancelling headphones and gives them a fairly average rating from what I can tell. I guess Sony is still the way to go?! :?
