    Great Headset, But Not Ideal for Big Ears

    I've been using this headset for a week now, and it has a lot of great things going for it. First off, the mic quality is fantastic. It's significantly better than their other headsets, thanks to the new chipset they installed in this model. Another feature I really appreciate is the quick switch function between wireless mode and Bluetooth—super convenient. The adjustable ear cups are a huge plus. Finally, a design that fits different head sizes! It's a big improvement over the years. The sound quality is decent, nothing groundbreaking, but it gets the job done. What really stands out is the side tone monitoring—it's excellent. You can hear yourself clearly, which is great for avoiding that annoying tendency to shout during calls. However, I do have a couple of gripes. I wish the ear cups were larger. They’re supposed to be "around the ear," but they have more of an oval shape that pushes them into "on-ear" territory. For someone with bigger ears like me, this was almost a perfect headset. Unfortunately, the comfort level is a deal breaker. I had to return them because they just weren't comfortable for long-term use. So, while this headset has a lot of strong points, especially in terms of mic quality and adjustability, the ear cup size and overall comfort could be better. If you have smaller ears, you'll probably love it, but if not, you might run into the same issues I did. TL;DR Pros: 1. Excellent mic quality due to the new chipset. 2. Convenient quick switch function between wireless mode and Bluetooth. 3. Adjustable ear cup height for a better fit. 4. Decent sound quality. 5. Excellent side tone monitoring. Cons: 1. Ear cups are not large enough for a true "around the ear" design. 2. Comfort issues for users with larger ears due to the oval shape of the ear cups.

    Great sound quality. I’m told my voice comes through very clearly with the mic. Very well designed. Mic has a light that turns on when muted so you’re aware that it’s muted.

    I love that these have heft (metal construction). I like that I can attach head-tracking LED set on the ear cups without issue. I like that I can tuck in the mic. It seems to work well enough for PC gaming. I do not like the ear cushions. Although they're soft, they let in a lot of ambient sound.
