Though the odd styling of this headset makes you look like an air traffic controller, it is very lightweight, quite comfortable (even for those with glasses), and though it lacks bass - the headset does an excellent job of simulating surround sound. ...You truly can hear the location of different sound effects within a game (especially helpful in shooters such as Halo, COD, PUBG, Fortnite, etc) For a headset that is more universally affordable than the many high end headsets from companies like Turtle Beach, this set holds its own and is definitely worth buying for budget conscious Gamers. Note: If you are a young kid, this headset will actually fit you well. Not only does the headband automatically adjust, but the earcups can snap into 3 separate locations to help ensure the best fit for those of any age. PROS: + Does a great job of simulating surround sound and is truly helpful for shooters (you can actually hear the specific location of certain sounds). + Comes with access to a Dolby Atmos app that does not appear to be available to other Xbox Live members. + Very Lightweight + Headband is easily adjustable - will fit heads of any size. (Will fit kids or adults.) + Comfortable to wear with glasses + Breathable Earcups + Volume Knob is easy to reach during game play & works well + Boom Microphone mutes when flipped upwards + Comes with an attachment to help mold the volume knob to either an Xbox controller, or a Playstation Controller + The headset does a great job of allowing Mic Monitoring (allowing you to hear your own voice while chatting) when adjustments are made to the Xbox audio settings. + The microphone & audio cables are removable Cons: - Lacks bass (especially noticeable when listening to music) - It is unclear what the included Dolby Atmos app actually does as it vanishes as soon as it downloads. You just have to have faith that it truly provides support for Dolby Atmos. - Poor style (they stick out quite far from the head) - Built entirely from plastic. This keeps the weight down, but also means they are more likely to break. - Customization options are not widely available and feel like more of a gimmick - Volume needs to be turned up all the way (unless you increase game volume in the xbox settings - which leaves a white noise when there is no game audio playing). - Ear cups are rather small. If you have large ears, gauged ears, or wear earrings, you may find them uncomfortable near the bottom of your ears. - Microphone has to be bent close to your mouth so players can year you well - which is fine, except that when you fold the mic up to mute - the mic then hits you in the face. You can bend it out of the way, but then you have to re-adjust every time you bring the mic back down for use. Important: If you do not hear any game audio when you plug in the 3.5 mm cable, you may need to remove the rubber adapter that molds to the controller's shape. If this rubber piece isn't in the perfect position - it won’t allow the plug to snap all the way in. Either push the jack further into the hole, or take off the rubber piece.

These headphones were a great buy. They are so lightweight and have great sound. The price was very affordable. So good, we bought 2 of them.

Pros: Comfy headphones. Very light and barely noticeable once you have them positioned right. The ear cups make a nice seal around your ears and do block out a fair amount of ambient noise. The microphone is super flexible and can be positioned easily, or removed if you just want to have headphones. The Dolby Atmos feature is pretty cool, but until it's adopted by every game and movie, it's hard to call it a selling point because there aren't a lot of Atmos sources at this point. The volume dial is convenient, but.... Cons: The master volume is relatively low. I've turned it to the maximum setting on the dial and it only gets to what i would call a normal volume. Maybe I just need more time to work with them, but until this point I can't figure out how to make it louder. I don't want to deafen myself, but I can tell these 'phones could pack some punch and I'd like to hear it in some instances. Without getting to hear them a little louder, it's hard to rave about the sound quality as it has sounded a bit muddy in my initial tests. Maybe more oomph would bring out the highs? Lastly, the packaging isn't anything that makes you feel like you're unboxing something special, but that's the tiniest of gripes and doesn't factor into my star rating at all, just something I thought when opening it (shown in images). Verdict: they do sound good, are incredibly comfortable to wear, and have some cool features so I would recommend. If they were louder and were slightly less muddy sounding, I would give them the 5th star.

The headphones are a bit bulky looking, but light weight and super comfortable. Sound quality is amazing, but when playing through my Xbox controller did not seem to get as loud as I could get them with my PC or phone. The unique 3.5mm volume knob is perfect for playing with a controller that has a 3.5mm connection as the little adapter keeps the plug in place so that you can easily control the volume with your thumb However, you need to remove this little adapter if you intend to use it on any other device and trying to control the volume with the knob is a bit more frustrating as it will rotate the plug if you don’t manually hold it. To mute the microphone, all you do is flip it up out of your way. These headphones are designed to be worn for extended gameplay sessions. The ear cups sit comfortably around the ear, have decent noise isolation and the part that touches the skin is cloth to prevent that sweaty feeling some others leave. The headband automatically adjusts to your head and the ear cups detach so that you can adjust to three different levels to find the perfect comfort level for you. In comparison to the slightly more costly PC version they are essentially the same headphones. The only differences being that the HX are made of plastic instead of metal, the headband cloth is fabric instead of a leather like material and the type of detachable wire. The HX, due to being made with more plastic, is slightly lighter, but not very noticeable as the headband is what actually supports the weight. Being plastic may make you worry about breaking, but these are extremely flexible. I put some real stress on them and was amazed at how much they flex. One thing they advertise is the ability to change and remove parts, but nothing comes included to interchange. The only technical difference between the different versions is the wire which is standard 3.5mm on each end and easily interchangeable. As for Dolby Atmos, you can hear the difference once you enable it. The included code gives access to use Dolby Atmos with headphones on any Xbox and Windows 10 PC that you use your Microsoft account. On a PC it is referred to as Spatial Audio. The app gives a 30 day free trial, but with your access code you save about $15. Though it appears as if it just gives you an app that has some demo videos, you have to go into your audio settings to enable Dolby Atmos for Headphones to get the true experience. Once enabled, the Dolby Access App isn’t much more than a way to demo the clarity of sound.

Great sound, comfortable and easy to use. My son is on his second set because the covering on the foam keeps coming off. I also use a set of these as well, but mine are about 6 months old. He does not want another pair because he said it's too irritating when the ear pieces come apart. He wants to go back to Turtle Beach.
