I purchased a set of turtle Beach headphones model Z6a and did'nt take too long before my wife noticed I had a blue band surrounding my ear, and it was dye from the head phones. I contacted turtle Beach, told him of the problem, they said they would test a set of pads and send me a new pair. Second pair did the same thing. I contacted turtle Beach again, this time the blue dye had rubbed off of my head onto our expensive Egyptian sheets approximately $140 per set. They assured me again that all the ear pads were tested, and they sent me another pair of pads. Yes, you guessed it more blue dye. I contacted them again. This time I demanded a refund and since it wasn't purchased through THEIR online retail store they would not honor a refund. And the Amazon.com seller only ensures a return for a month. CAN YOU SAY GET THE VASELINE!
If you are considering buying turtle Beach products don't expect much support when it comes to their ear pads they would just send you a brand-new ones with brand-new dye. And I would ask my fellow pilots to give them hell on their website at Facebook...

Wow. Lame. :(
I have a pair of their older, discontinued "HPA2" headphones, which do not have this flaw.

Which is why I steer clear of anything with colors added to it on the ear covers. +1 for Sennheiser PC360's I own!

Sorry about the wrecked expensive bedsheets. Its one thing for a product to be defective but maddening when it ruins other things you own. I have also had problems with companies not accepting returns for refund of items bought through Amazon.

Old news. :D

that was the only reason I never got that set even though it was highly recommended. i got this one instead.

really hate to tell you but did you read the reviews in amazon before buying it? that was the #1 complain, actually it was the only complain.

blue ears :rofl

I just bought a pair last month (saw good reviews, somehow missed the "blue ears" prob) and they must have addressed the issue; cushions are black cloth, fairly comfy...

Turtle Beaches are very cheaply made. At one point the tiny screws that held the ear phone to the headset worked out.
I just bought some sennheisers so far much better sound quality. They also seem to be put together much better.

Turtle Beach maintains their top-notch product testing team never noticed any problems with blue dye rubbing off the headphone earpads onto users.
