The Turtle Beach Ear Force Spectre Call of Duty: Ghosts Edition is a high-quality headset that delivers excellent gaming performance and a comfortable fit. Bass levels were solid and the range of tone reproductions was also strong.

Throughout testing, we were impressed by the Ear Force Spectre's audio performance. Bass levels were strong when required and very easy to tweak using controls on the in-line amp. Equally impressive was the range of tones that Turtle Beach's unit was able to simultaneously output.

Our biggest praise for Turtle Beach's Ear Force Spectre is its comfort. Using a plastic frame which is sturdy, but also has a good amount of flexibility to it, Turtle Beach was able to create a weight distribution system that doesn't transmit high levels of force through a gamer's ears.

There are some areas where the Ear Force Spectre could use improvement. Noise insulation was poor and even seemed to be non-existent on times. The sheer number of cables required to connect certain devices is likely to irritate users, too.

Priced at £129.99 from Game, Turtle Beach's Call of Duty: Ghosts Spectre Limited Edition headset isn't cheap. It's clear that money has been added to the unit due to its Call of Duty branding. That said, the Ear Force Spectre does offer the performance, connection options, and comfort which allow it to justify the asking price.

Pros:

• Great gaming performance.
• Plenty of connectivity options.
• Comfortable design, even for extended periods of time.
• Great functionality and adjustment from in-line amp.
• Interchangeable plates.
• Excellent microphone reception.

Cons:

• Lots of cables to attach to certain devices.
• Poor noise insulation performance.
• Cable bag would have been welcomed.

KitGuru says: A very good headset with excellent gaming performance and high comfort levels.
