    Opened box only to find the band that goes on your head was missing in a sealed box. Guess its poor QA at the factory. Have to return it now.

    I bought this headset as a gift. It appeared to be easy to set up and what every gamer can use with little to no problem.

    Poor mic quality

    I bought this headset against my gut feeling. The mic quality is very poor. Unless I angle my mouth towards the mic and speak very loudly I was not able to be heard... Therefore this will be getting returned and I will be purchasing a Microsoft headset which is what I should have done in the first place... Don't be fooled by the cheaper price or the shiny lights! This headset isn't worth the time or trouble...

    Cord too short!

    This might be a decent headset, but I didn't get past the 3-foot cord before deciding it was deal-breaker. Three foot cord! Who could possibly think that would be adequate for a gaming headset? Of course there is no indication on the box as to how long the headset cord is (wonder why....)

    It's just not what it apears to be ...

    SImply put ... it doesn't glow as it shows that it does it doesn't sound good at all to other players it just didn't work as it should have. My 14 yr old daughter plugged it in, I couldn't even see that it was on (no glowing). The push to talk button is on the ear piece, how are you to press that button while using the controller with both hands? Basically she used it for 5 minutes, switched to the broken one that she complains about constantly and it sat on the floor at her feet until she had finished playing. She then proptly boxed it back up and asked that I return it as soon as I was able. So if a 14 yr old girl would rather use an old broken mic/headset than this brand new (glowing) blue headset, I ask you ... do you think that you should buy one?

    Complete junk - avoid at all costs

    This looks kind of sharp but after two-three uses the thing died completely. I was also completely underwhelmed when it was working. This headset is all flash and no function. The microphone was poor. Vastly disappointing.

    please dont buy this it is a piece of s***. when you try to talk nobody can here, you basically have to scream for them to hear you. the glow is cool and all though. it is way to far away from your mouth. i really recommend you do not buy this. buy the name brand xbox mic.

    Item was alright. I like the headset idea and led color. The only thing is I couldn't speak to soft. I had to practically yell or use my outdoor voice.

    I bought two of these and neither of them worked. They did light up blue but there was no sound at all.
