Love it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable and light. Wireless is convenient. Haven't experienced true atmos yet but sound is good but not great. Definitely notice distortion in lows as I turn it louder. Listening at a resonable volume sounds great. Fantastic headset for the price.

Light, comfortable, long battery life & nice sound
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned a lot of headsets over the years. For the price, these are probably the best for gaming so far. Not absolutely the best sounding (I have some $500 Sennheisers), but still very good. The reason I say these are the best for gaming is because of everything you get for the price. These are very lightweight, very comfortable, have very long battery life and they sound really good as well. These are specifically for the Xbox One, and I like them so much that I purchased the version for my PS4 too, so I have two sets of basically the same headset. Highly recommended!

Dolby Atmos is legit
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones combined with Dolby Atmos( comes with code for DA) are a very solid gaming headset. I’ve owned the TB 800x and Astro A50 and these are right there at half the price. If you want a solid surround sound headset with out the ridiculous price for your X1 this is it. Also being completely wireless is always the way to go. I actually give it a 4.5 because the mic monitoring is almost non existent and as far as I can tell these don’t have the ability to update its firmware but it’s pretty minor.

Good enough headset with dolby atmos
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headset is not bad, and it sounds great just like every other headset out there. The pluses of it are that it has dolby, of course, but more importantly is the battery life of these things, it's impressive considering how light they are... (cellphones y'all should pick some tips here on making your bats last longer). The only bad thing is had to say would be that the volume between voice chat and game sound is very sensitive. What I mean by that is that you can't have the chat with the game sound really low and vise versa. It's not bad, but I would like to listen to the game very quietly when I'm chatting so I can pay attention to it. And you know what, maybe I got a faulty sensor on it, or maybe I'm just too picky, either way, if you got the spare cash, I would recommend this if you want to avoid the hassle of charging it every day... other wise any other headphones will do the same work. Happier shoapping!

Great improvement
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very light and super comfortable with glasses also!! I game alot and was going to purchase these about a year and a half ago but they were made with a metal headband and were heavy but now its plastic and they're super light, the sound is great and u get free Dolby atmos included with makes the sound 10x better, the mic quality is great also its a great investment as long as u know how to take care of ur stuff and compared to my turtle beach stealth 700's these are way better and I love my 700's

Outstanding Performance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought one of these for my son for his birthday. He loves them and raves about the sound while playing games. I was never a headphone person, but I put them on when he was out of the room and wow! I use them when he is not around. They are comfortable to wear, the Dolby Atmos raises the sound to a new level, the game and chat volumes can be adjusted separately. When fully charged, the battery life is long. There may or may not be others that perform this well but in my eyes, these are one the best!

Don't rush to judgment
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't rush to judgment on this headset. I came very close to returning the headset due to distortion of loud effects requiring base response. The sound was not good when I first tried them but then I read a Best Buy customer review by "SippOnThat" and found that turning the game / chat mixer down eliminated the issue all together. I found that rotating the game / voice mixer dial by approximately 1 1/2 notches downward (more chat oriented) eliminated the issue completely and only slightly reduced the overall game volume. I have played BF1 with the mix turned up, and it is still acceptable with the EQ setting on 1 tone. I replaced a set of TB Stealth 500X's because the band broke and I am happy with my choice in comparison. Volume is good, they are very comfortable and lightweight, and the Atmos App in junction with the headset provide outstanding surround effects. and spacial awareness. I also like the way they look and the band adjustment. Bang for the buck is great and they go on sale occasionally.

Best headset
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clarity, battery longevity, ease of use, comfort, all exceed what I expected. It tells me the battery level as soon as it is turned on. Let’s me know it is connected. It is lightweight. Everything one could want.

Pretty Solid Head Set!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headset is pretty solid. The Dolby Atmos sound is great and you can pinpoint where a sound is coming from. It is supposed to come paired out of the box, but I had to repair it before I could use it. Pros: comfortable sound quality Battery Life Noise Cancellation Cons: I have had a couple of instances where I have had to reconnect the headset to the receiver, or the receiver to the console/PC.

Best Gaming Headset
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had many types of gaming headsets from Razer to Alienware and this one is by far the best I’ve ever used. The voice chat is easy to use, the surround sound is impeccable and the battery life lasts quite a while on a full charge. What surprised me the most was how comfortable the headset is and how it fits on my head. If you’re deciding which headset to get, this one is definitely worth the extra $40.

Wow, what an amazing headset! Superb quality!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these over the weekend and have probably 15 hours or so using them. WOW, the sound quality is amazing! I've gotten back into Red Dead Redemption 2, and it's a whole different experience vs. just listening with the TV volume. They're really comfortable too. I can wear them for hours on end without an issue. I'm really excited to see how good they are when COD comes out. I tested them with Battlefield and holy crap, max volume will hurt your ears. The mic quality is good as well. My buddy bought them and he said they blow his old Turtle Beach 420's out of the water. I bought the Turtle Beach Stealth 600's, and RIG 700's (their newest headset) to compare and keep the best one. The Turtle Beach's didn't come close to comfort or quality, and the RIG 700's sounded amazing, but the 800's are just a tad louder with more bass, and double the battery life.

These are great for Xbox One
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this headset for my Xbox One. They are excellent. Light, comfortable, and wireless. I like the mic flip for mute so I can urinate without taking them off or trying to find a button to press. Atmos is great. Only cons I have are they are not noise cancelling, which is not always bad, it cant handle heavy bass and distorts at really low frequencies. Prefer these to the Turtle Beach 500s.

Best Headphones I've Owned
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is awesome, and with a free activation code for dolby atmos included, it makes it even better. Incredibly comfortable, very long battery life, and well made. Coming from turtle beaches, this headset puts the lower end turtle beaches to shame. Was in between these and astros, and decided on these based on the price tag and other reviews saying the rigs were just as good, if not better.

Top-end headset, mid-range price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I mostly use them for Warzone on Xb1, directional sound with Atmos is fantastic. There are 4 EQ presets that can be switched between with use of a button right on the headset. I’ve used it much less for music and movies, but I was truly impressed with both. Strong points: - EASE of use. Capitalized for maximum effect - exceptional sound quality - The designers were thoughtful - the build quality seems to be great ( I’ve owned for a month ) - Battery life is a strong point - comfortable all the way through gaming sessions that can take hours - tells you charge level in a pleasant AI voice when you turn it on. Not-so-strong points: - They weren’t free - the game volume / chat volume fader is a bit inconveniently placed, it is also quite the small fidgety. A small gripe, but a legitimate one. - made in China, and I haven’t done the research on whether or not they’re made at factories with good human rights track records... - ...? I bought them a month ago and I LOVE them so far, switched from Turtle Beach Stealth 700 wireless.. which had decent sound quality, but, for me, was marred by total crap build quality / comfort/ constant wireless interference.

pretty good headset with some problems
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the headset it self is very comfortable, one of the reason i bought it is because it came with dolby atmos code to activate it, which i would be testing once the Xbox one X comes out, one of the problem i encountered was the scroller for game/chat, when i put it all the way to chat i can only hear the voices with the game audio, which is correct. the problem is if i scroll all the way to game i can still hear chat very clearly which i thought it was kinda weird... maybe this headset needed some kind of update? so i’m a little disappointed on that part... also a weird echo of chat audio that almost make people sounds like robots when they talk was also weird... i have mine set to the dolby atmos section on the xbox, and i have to reset that just to stop the weird voice sounds from happening.

Best you can buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did my homework and purchased plenty of headsets before finally getting these. You get a dolby atmos activation code in the box and games such as GoW 4 and AC Origins use the sound format. You can hear things you never did before with this headset. The headset is light and comfortable and can be worn for hours without complaint. If you want the best headset for the XB1 this is it!
