Choose it if…

You want game sound and voice chat in one headset.
You are happy to check your voice with your chat app’s mic test instead of hearing yourself continuously in headphones.
You want a wearable microphone rather than a separate desk stand or arm.

Before choosing this model

This is the Multiplatform model, with a 1.2 m cable. The PC version has a 2 m cable and a splitter for a PC with separate mic and headphone jacks.
Turtle Beach lists no app, mic monitoring or game and chat balance for it.
Turtle Beach's current page doesn't list Switch, though the 2019 Switch edition was sold for it.
It plugs in by cable, so there's no edition to match: use a jack that takes a headset mic, such as a controller's 3.5 mm jack.
No stand or arm needed: the mic is on the headset.
Use the cable in the box; you only need an adapter if your computer lacks that port.
