Picked these up on sale for $59.99 and these are well worth the price. Games and music sound nice, with decent bass. I haven't used the mic for online gaming (since I mainly play solo), but did plug it into my laptop for a few business meetings with mixed results. Some said I sounded ok, while others had trouble hearing me. Otherwise, I find the ear cups to be very comfortable and I can wear these hours at a time.

Old headset broke after 5 years so i replaced with these. The headset I received did not work correctly when plugged into the 3.5mm jack on the xbox controller. I tried 3 different controllers and all the same result. At maximum volume the sound was slightly louder then a whisper. This apparently is a known flaw with this headset. You can find other reviews online saying the same exact thing. The only reason i did not bring them back was because I was able to get them working when i used the adapter from my previous headset (Turtle Beach stealth 400s.) When plugged in with the TB adapter this headset works great. Good sound (rivals my stealth 400s), pretty comfortable, free Dolby Atmos subscription for 2 years (not sure the description mentions that the Atmos subscription is only 2 years, i believe they leave that little detail out. probably in fine print somewhere.) One more possible problem is that these might cause feedback if you are in a chat with friends. I cannot verify this totally as i am usually playing by myself but I have had one friend tell me that they were getting an echo from me (echo is when they talk and hear themselves in my audio.) That never happened with my old headset. I adjusted the microphone angle to tilt a little more downwards (further away from the earpiece) and that seem to fix it. Again i'm ok with this purchase because I got them on sale and was lucky that I had an old TB adapter but the fact that I had to even use a part from the headset i was replacing Is insane for a headset that retails for $100 dollars. Maybe thats why they have been 1/2 price for the last month? Guess that leaves room for you to buy a TB adapter as well if you want to look at it that way.

These headphones are about the best one's i have had in ages. The quality of the audio/mic is amazing. They are comfortable to wear. BUT The only issue that i have encountered is that sometimes the audio on certain platforms and games goes out. Its not a big issue to me as it doesnt happen too often to be annoying. The headset also comes with a 2 year plan of dolby atmos.
