I bought this item because I played certain games that worked better with a controller on the PC. I had two issues with this, first the headset is so cheaply made that I didn't even bother using it. I didn't want that anyways. The second issue which is a much more serious issue is that if left plugged in to your pc, it will not boot until you remove is and when you do you'll have to do a soft reset. It did corrupt some of my pc's data, and then I spent an entire evening making sure that there was no serious damage done. Since then though I make sure to unplug the controller after every use.

If your on a budget and don't want to spend the extra cash for Microsoft brand this gets the job done for 1/2 the cost and you get a basic headset. Not Microsoft quality but not bad and Works well with all the games i have tried on windows 10.

We went to best buy to buy a wireless controller but this has amost a 10 ft cord which is plenty long and a headset. Its a cheap headset but it works fine as does the controller. For the price you cant really go wrong

Got this controller/headset combo for only $20 at Best buy on sale. Normally it's $30. But even at that price it's worth it. Feels sturdy in the hand and has options for motor sensitivity and analog sensitivity. There are $90 controllers for the Xbox one that doesn't do that. The headset is pretty meh. But still better than the official Microsoft chat mic. Great buy.

my kid blows through headsets like they're expendable, well... this one almost is... inexpensive headset and controller combo, wired, but the cord was a decent length so not a big deal, i'd buy it again in a pinch or if i was on a budget, because the quality is pretty good for the price

Great priced bundle for Xbox controller and headset.
Only bad part is that its wired, but you should know that if youre buying this thing. Wireless controllers are still kinda pricey.

My son loves the controller. Sadly though we cannot use the headset as he is deaf in his left ear and the headphones only cover the left ear.

Purchased for my daughter. She wanted a cordless, but this control's cord is long enough. Besides the fact that she ends up close to the screen anyways. 2 in 1, can't beat that! Love that both head gear and controller come together at an amazing price.

Bought this controller because the price was cheap and it came with a headset. I had bought a wired controller previously and it worked well. I noticed from the first few days of playing with the controller what seem to look like black dust by the joystick area. So I cleaned the controller and started playing with it again. At playing with it I noticed the black dust again. So I inspected the controller and noticed the left joystick cushing pad was wearing out and has a small tear it in. Played with the controller again and that small tear got bigger and came off completely. Once that happen the joystick started hurting my thumb. Controller still works but joystick pads sucks. Good controller for the price and it comes with a headset that's why I gave it 3 stars.

This isn't the best combo but great price. Got it for my son for Christmas instead of buying separately. The head set quickly stopped working with the controller. It would work with other controllers but not the one it came with. Took it back and had to order a new replacement and it shortly started doing the same thing.

If you're like me, not wanting to spend an insane amount of money on official Xbox One controllers, do not turn a blind eye toward this controller. It is well designed, sturdy and responsive. No delayed input lag.

This was a gift for my son and so far there are no complaints and he's still able to use them even after all the abuse (don't ask). I will probably purchase another set for his brother. The only negative is that I was unable to use my Best Buy birthday coupon to help with the purchase; which left me wondering why the even provide them.
