Customers are delighted by the AG7 True Wireless Stereo Gaming Headset for Xbox One's excellent sound quality, long battery life, and comfortable design, frequently praising its immersive bass and reliable wireless performance. Many appreciate the headset's value for its price. While some find the headset somewhat heavy, the positive feedback on other features outweighs this concern.
I replaced my Microsoft stereo head phones with the AG7's and I am really glad I did. I spent 1 1/2 hrs. in the store trying to decide if I wanted to spend another $60.00 for Turtle beach head phones. The sales staff was very helpful and said they had heard good things about the AG7's. Turns out they are way better than I expected. They are very comfortable and can be adjusted to accommodate just about any head size. The sound and volume is very good, with outstanding bass with no distortion. Battlefield 4 never sounded better. The richness and depth of the explosions and gun fire was surprising if not a little startling, and much better than my Microsoft, turtle beach and Tritton headphones. Volume is very good, and chat / game balancing is very easy to control and effective. The retractable boom mic seems to be working well and it is great that the mic gives you feedback into your speakers so you can monitor the level of your voice. They are stereo headphones so don't expect to get the directional cues from surrounding sounds like you would a 5.1 or 7.1 headphone, but I find them to be effective for use in games such as Battlefield 4 and Forza 6. Set up couldn't be easier. Connect the dongle to your Xbox and you are set. The side USB port works best for connectivity and range. I like the green LED lights, however they can easily be turned off by holding the mode button for 5 seconds. The mic provides LED colors to let you know the sound mode (pure or bass) and if you are muted in chat (occasional blinking of LED lights). The battery life is also very good and as advertised, but if you need to you can use them while you charge them using the USB cable supplied with the headphones. I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon the AG7's and highly recommend them if you don't want to break the bank.

The A7 version of the Afterglow headset is a excellent headset for the price and these are true wireless, I was upset with other headsets claiming wireless but then needing me to plug into the controller. After reading multiple reviews went with these and love the quality. Better than any turtle beaches I have had. Excellent sound quality when playing games the effects are great and with the bass boost it really makes you feel like you are a part of the game. I play shooters and in games like Rainbow Six Siege shooting actually makes my body pulse.. Bass is excellent. Main issue I read about is trouble with others hearing you in chat. This is a slight issue but can be easily fixed by covering the noise cancelling mic on the front of the microphone. With this minor alteration the mic picks up my voice excellent and also still is able to noise cancel. Pros: -Actual wireless headset with good range 50ft. -Great sound quality -Excellent Bass Boost capabilities -Great Battery life, last about 12 hours between charges -Projects your own voice when talking so you know how loud you actually are Cons: -Need to cover noise cancelling to improve voice quality. (heard this is improved in A9 version) -When muted only flashes light 1x every 30 secs. Can be hard to tell if you are muted -Uses USB port. (not a huge issue unless you have a lot of accessories) Overall great headphones. Best pair I have owned and really love the wireless flexibility. Would buy again and have recommended to my friends

I was a little nervous at first when I saw these headphones were truly hands free (no wires to the controller) as the headphones come with an USB stick that you plug directly into the XBOX that is Bluetooth. They work really well and hold a charge for around 15 hours of game play. There are two modes one for bass and one for clearer audio. I will say that the microphone level is a tad bit on the low side. People say they do have a little bit of a hard time hearing me but this is easily fixed by talking a little louder. The headphones produce great sound and is very clear! Overall, for the price, I would highly recommend. Plus they are comfortable and light weight. So if you are going back and forth on which ones to buy, I would go with the AG7. The price is spot on! Thanks, Josh
