However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding connection issues and the relatively high price point.

    Quite large, average battery life, uncomfortable with extended wear. Additionally, mic quality very poor, with almost any time used 2-way other parties hear distortion in voice, no matter the platform.

    My biggest issue is that you can not change the chat and gameplay volume. They are convenient and comfortable but at that price point its not worth it

    I haven’t been able to find a comfortable pair of over the head headphones. So I decided to try these and it’s been a great experience so far great sound I just wish they had active noise cancellation.

    Overall I am pleased with the product. It could have a little better sound when it comes to online gaming w other players. Certain times it’s hard to hear online gamers over the game sound

    These are expensive for what they are. They do not scream “quality”. They definitely feel a little cheap. I’d look for other options to be honest.

    I returned these THREE times hoping that I was just getting defective ones but nope! I have two tv's in my living room. One is for gaming on PS5 and the other is used for watching TV from a Firestick while we play games. I wanted to be able to get sound from PS5 and my Firestick at the same time But the signal/range for the Bluetooth is the worst I've ever seen from any headset or earbuds. I even tried buying a Roku thinking maybe it was a Firestick issue but nope, that didn't fix it either. Also, as for the second and third pairs (those were the midnight black edition) that I bought and returned, the audio would constantly buzz and it drove me INSANE. I found myself constant resetting/re-pairing them...which didn't fix anything at all. I also made sure that they were updated to the latest firmware. I literally wouldn't pay $1 for these, let alone $200. It's such a shame because these had so much potential.

    The headphones work well with the PS5 but after some time they tend to disconnect. I have had my headphones since December 2023 (6 months) and they are starting to sound like static when people speak.

    Good to use with the PlayStation streaming controller. Make sure you update the software first. Not the most comfortable earbuds but good for about $150 or less.
