    The sound is amazing. I like the fact that you can have a customized experience by tuning the settings and being able to change the bass, tone, and noise gate all within the app. The retractable mic is a plus, as I broke the mic on my previous headset prior to buying this one. This is a big upgrade.

    Connect and go. The best choice for your Xbox gaming experience. Lite weight so you can spend hours with it. Great sound quality and clear mic voice. The only thing I miss is a volume control separate for mic and audio.

    I love those headset so far! My more expensive headset died and I researched this as a replacement. It has been better than expected! Amazing sounds, easy set up, and I love the clean feel. Best feature for me is the BT mode. Once I connected to my phone, it will automatically pick up my phone calls in the headset and switch back to the game when I'm done the call. I highly recommend this set.

    My son loves these. They are very comfortable fit his head very well very durable. He has broke other headsets because they weren’t sturdy. This one is a lot stronger than some of the other brands. The sound is a lot better. It’s more clearer and

    I bought this for my husband and it's the second time he got from the same brand. He is a big guy so he's picky with headsets as they make his ears or head hurt. He loves it and would buy it again after he's worn it out or if they come up with a newer version.

    Very high quality headset for the price point. It has a magnificent battery life and a great signal range. My only complaint is that around 20% of times I use it, I have to unplug and replug the dongle through my Xbox Series X to re-establish connection because it somehow loses its connection if I leave it turned on whilst falling asleep.

    I upgraded from an older model of this same headset. I picked it up on sale due to my old headset having issues connecting to my console. Setup is easy and sound is good. Mic quality is pretty standard but I haven’t heard any complaints from my friends. I think this is a good low to mid range headset. Better life is excellent.

    SS, in my opinion, is the best in the business. There have been issues in the past with durability due to there single hinged yolk design. Ive never experienced this, but i baby any products over $100. The Nova 5 has a dual hinged yolk design, comforting those that have experienced durability issues in the past. This headset is extremly light weight with a slightly stronger clamping force than the 7x which i also like. I dont have to worry about the headset shifting if i turn my head fast. The cherry on top is being able to save parametric EQ’s to the headset for console players. A first at this price point. In fact, you would have to spend a minimum of $300 (looking at you astro a50x) and deal with cords to get the same convenience. Once word gets out about this headset, nothing up to $300 can touch it.
