Turtle Beach Ear Force PLa Gaming Headset - Playstation 3

The Ear Force PLa is the ideal headset for PlayStation 3 gamers seeking a more immersive experience without breaking the bank. Unlike basic communicator headsets that only let you hear chat in one ear, the PLa combines high-fidelity, amplified stereo game audio and crystal-clear communication in a sleek and compact design.

The PLa also features independent game and chat volume controls and sound-isolating ear cushions, allowing you to personalize the audio and block out distractions. If you're serious about gaming, then get serious about the sound. Step up to the PLa and experience game audio like never before.

Turtle Beach Audio Advantage

The amplified stereo sound produced by the PLa will ensure that you hear your games loud and clear. Turtle Beach put variable bass boost at your disposal to give your audio a kick when you need it to. You’ll be able to hear sound cues that are missed with conventional TV speakers, such as the sound of enemy footsteps or the click of a loading weapon in the distance. In short, you'll react faster and take them out before they take you out, giving you the edge that can make the real difference between winning and losing.

Pretty Awesome Mic, Just a Notch Down From Some $200 Mics.


By Kenneth Gilkenson

I think this mic is 100% worth it. For $40 you can't beat it. I'm gonna break this down, into 4 paragraphs. Sound Audio, Comfort, Price, and then other details.
Sound...It's amazing. I've used the p11, and other great turtle beaches, and the sound, you can't tell any difference. The sound is awesome. Like all stereo mics, the sound, is much better quality, than a TV speaker.

Comfort: Well it may not be as good as some of the over the ear mics, but it's still comfortable. The "cups" (it's just on the ear) have some sort of fuzzy material, but it doesn't have much padding but it's still pretty comfortable. On the top, it has some sort of leathery material, that is much more comfortable than just having a line of plastic, like some cheap mics have.

Price: I'm sure many people would say well, $40? It must suck, right? I would answer them with a no. As I said before, it is maybe, just a tiny notch down compared, to some $200 mics, so it's a win win deal here.

Other: The only problem I've really had with this mic, is the long, thick cord getting tangled up which can really be annoying (the main reason I didn't give it 5 stars) The mic has a built in bass boost, that really helps, out the sound. The volume, and chat switches, are on the left ear cup. You can twist the cups, but that's really just a useless thing to do. It works for PC and PS3, (and there's a XLA which is practically the same thing it just works for 360) so if you're looking for a good mic for PC or PS3, without spending a crazy amount of money, GET THIS!

Mid-level gaming headset.


By Allan J

The mic and speakers both sound good, come through loud and clear on both ends. The padding doesn't do much on the ears or head. Seems to weigh a little heavy, probably from the cord which is plenty long. The volume wheels and mic switch work well and are decently placed. Performance gets a 5, comfort started at a 3 but dropped an hour later. So overall I'm going 3 stars.

Best for your money.


By chupete

Simple and almost fail proof. The Turtle Beach PLa is the best headset for those who just begin to get into the serious online gaming. For me was a dramatical improve in the quality of my gaming experience, and in addition is a very solid and comfortable piece of gear for the almost ridiculous price. The sound is crisp and with a very powerful bass, the sorround effect works perfectly... is indeed the best in the price-quality relation. My best gaming accesory so far.
