    From the beautiful packaging, to the nice clean design, this headset is very comfortable, easy to mute and great to talk to in party chats with your friends. It has great audio to hear like in Call of Duty Modern Warfare or in Cold War to kill enemies. The mic is easy to move around to adjust how close it is or when you’re eating and don’t want someone to hear you. The mute button is just one click which is super easy when your dog is barking or simply don’t want to speak. Overall this is a great product and purchase that I highly recommend.

    Great Headphones, Minor Drawbacks

    Awesome headphones, they've got great sound quality and they look super cool. They also happen to be really comfortable, definitely wearable for long periods of time. My one big issue is the mic, it is not very long, and not adjustable whatsoever, I believe it picks up well enough but the length definitely impedes the experience of the people you're with. I guarantee you will like these headphones, but if you're worried about not being loud enough, I'd say find another model with a longer mic.

    Held Up to Pandemic Learning

    With the pandemic, my two teens were e-learning in our dining room. We set them up with supplies that would help them succeed. I purchased two of these headsets in the beginning of the school year. Without a doubt, they were game changers. The sound is great, mic very easy to use, comfortable to wear, and the noise cancelling works moderately well (there's only so much teenage noise that can be cancelled out). I'm actually here to get my son a replacement. Today, his mic detached and is hanging, totally due to 5 days weekly of use and abuse. I asked if he wanted a different headset. He immediately said no, these are great.

    I Recently bought this mostly just to be able to speak to my friends on discord. The headset is super comfortable not too heavy, and even with glasses on it does not feel uncomfortable. The sounds quality is actually pretty good for the price. The Mic is were these headsets lack. I'm finding myself having to be much louder and have the mic closer to my mouth when speaking due to the low volume. I have tried playing around with the settings so its not that. Overall I would recommend.

    Very nice headset. I was looking for something not too expensive to pair with my PS5 and it works for my intended purposes. Mic quality is not going to make anyone think I'm using a yeti, but is still pretty decent. Fit is comfortable, I only wish that the volume is a bit louder, but I am plugging it into a PS5 controller for power. Perhaps for PC use, volume would get louder. For under 50 bucks though, would be hard pressed to find anthing else to nitpick at.

    For the price, this headset has excellent sound and is built pretty sturdy. It has a very comfortable feel as well. Would like a retractable mic, but again, for the price I can't complain.

    Got these for my son 12 yrs old. He really enjoys them. They are very comfortable and not cheaply made. Don't fall off his head. Only down fall is it doesn't drown out my voice. Lol

    Very comfortable and I love the comparability between pc and PlayStation 4. Great budget mic and couldn’t tell it’s only $50. It seems as it should be worth more!!

    I bought these headphones to do online art school classes with Zoom, as I didn’t have corded headphones with a microphone and regular 3.5 mm jack. (the iPhone ones with the lightning connector were all I had) The microphone is awesome! It has great background noise filtering, and I’ve had zero issues with the volume being too loud or soft. The flexibility of the mic is also nice. My favorite feature has to be the mute button, though, as I can keep myself unmuted and not have to worry about having the call window open. The sound quality is incredible for the price. I didn’t need anything fancy, and this is perfect. Much better sound than I expected. My video class sounds great! Overall, I would definitely suggest these. Worked well for what I needed, and I can imagine they’d work well for more things, too.

    We actually bought this for our son. He said it is the most comfortable one he has had (This is his 3rd). He likes the mute button so he can talk to me and not bother his friends in game play. He also said the sound is excellent.

    As a regular player of warzone, I thought the audio in the game was horrible, no it was just my crappy headset that I originally had. I felt like I was in the heat of battle back in Iraq, my kids asking if everything was ok, the quality of sound made me nervous as I could hear my guy bust a fa-rt climbing a ladder quality good. You can not knock the price of 50 bucks for this as there are several others that are way way beyond this amount go criticize those when they break for how "cheap" the plastic. If you are complaining about 50 bucks you shouldn't be playing games as a hobby. A+

    This is a good headset for its price, nice color and pretty comfortable and compatible with all devices that have a 3.5 mm. The only reason it’s not getting a 4 or 5 star is because in my opinion these are not meant to be worn with glasses, the first day they weren’t comfortable at all, as the days went on it started adjusting but it still feels uncomfortable
