    Great bluetooth headset. I have worn it for multiple long gaming sessions and have never had pain from having it sit on my head. Sound quality is good and lasts a long time on a full charge.

    Works really well, the mic being able to hide in the headset is a really good feature. Sound quality is rather good as well. Good range. I can make it from one side of the house to the other with little issue. Seems like a good buy. I work at home and use this for work at home reasons.

    These are honestly pretty good quality, the sound on them is significantly better on PC then if you were using a console, but still not bad. The range is decent too. I like that the mic tucks away.

    Headphones are very easy to connect to pc with the dongle. Ear muffs are nice but a little small for my preference, but I just switched them out for my old ear muffs. Mic sounds good as well in voice chat.

    They are the best headphones I’ve bought in a long time, they are really good in battery, sound amazing!! Recommended 100% the white color really gives it more live to my game room and they feel really comfortable and don’t bother with the time having them on for a while

    Solid for a headset. My main gripe is it's a far cry from my normal audio set up, but for on the go I can't beat it. Decent mic, solid audio, good price.

    Very comfortable, sound is good for the price. I like they are not noise canceling so I can hear my surroundings. I think it would be 4 stars if I had paid full price but I got it on sale and feel that was a better price point for this headset.

    Bought these for my son. Very comfortable to wear, great ear cushioning. Sound quality is wonderful. Crisp and clear. While i have not used them as much as him,... but he has zero complaints about them. It was a terrific birthday gift for him

    I went into the store to purchase a gaming headset for my 46 year old son who plays WoW. I listened to the other brands, which were much more expensive and that I was more than happy to buy for my son. However, after listening and comparing them, these were better than the most expensive one's! Bought them same day for his Christmas present 2025. He loves them and that makes a momma happy! Thank you for making them not only the best, but more affordable!

    NICE DESIGN- BUT NOT STABLE CONNECTION

    I had a chance to play around with these and use them for my laptop for various uses from multimedia to WI-FI calling, video chats and dictation software. QUALITY-COMFORT The quality of the headphones seems to be very durable and has a nice weight to it. The Headband part seems flexible and sturdy, the cloth strap underneath makes for a secure and comfortable fit. I have not come across another strap design and it seems like it would be uncomfortable but it was snug and secure. The fabric on the earcups is very soft and plush, it sits comfortable and the design of the band make it so that they do not pinch. I did not suffer ear fatigue or hot/sweaty sensation after a few hours. The retractable MIC is very nice and it actually works without having to pull out the MIC. It is activated as soon as you turn on the headphones and connect. The quality of the MIC isn't muffled and the reproduced sound is overall good. When gaming I use the extension on the MIC and it does a better job of picking up the sound but you get a little distorted effect if too close to your mouth. The supplied volume wheel is a nice throwback touch, it reduces the fumbling of touch panel controls on the side of the headphones. The wheel makes it easy tyo quickly lower and raise the volume without incident. CONNECTION This is where the deduction of stars occurs for me. The connection via 2.4 suffers for me, there are times i switch media and the sound is distorted and it takes about 5-10seconds for it to stabilize again. This happens everytime i switch media and it also happens when i initially connect the headphones too. I switch over to bluetooth and the connection is better but it always takes a few taps of the switch to get it to connect. I wish it had an auto connect feature when a paired device is turned on within proximity of the headphones but it does not. OVERALL The whole point is the sound and connection and if that is a hassle and does not provide a clear connection everytime then this is a big minus.

    The headset fits perfectly and has the adjustable suspension band which is comfortable. The fabric for the ear piece is also comfortable and doesnt stick to your skin like leather does. The sound quality is also really good. I use IEMs mostly but these are good for the price. I believe most esports pros use these headsets too. It also has software that has a lot of options if you want more in depth customization.
