    Ive been using these headphones for about a month now and for what they are they're great! My only complaint would be that they don't get loud enough

    The headphones work well with Xbox X. I only rated two stars because you constantly have to unplug and replug in the small dongle so your Xbox will play sound through the game buds. As soon as you plug it back in, a message pops up. You have to click on the message and select your Xbox profile and then it will work.

    Idk how it's 2025 and a (tech) company is still requiring you to connect a WIRELESS product into a PC to update. And not only that, but the process is the the biggest pain in the rear. I've been trying to update these things for almost an hour now. The "app" refuses to recognize my earbuds and is literally just a massive ad trying to get you to buy more crap. It's slow, and looks like it was built in the 90s. Which was the last time I remember having to plug a device into a PC to update so I guess it's fitting. Also they don't even sound good and constantly disconnect. I have to pull out the connector from my Xbox EVERY time I want to use them. 0 stars if I could.

    I had high hopes for these but after using them for a few days the sound is just ok… you would think for being ear buds the sound would be right in your ear…. But that is not the case with these. Playing COD on these was nothing special for the price and the mic was not that good when getting feedback from others . I had high hopes wanting something compact and I love ear buds, but these are a hard no for me. The controls are not consistent as well when you try to press the buttons on the buds. In summary while they do work for the sound quality they are overpriced.
