Really good use it for cod. Only down fall is I feel like the mic of too close to my mouth and you can’t really adjust it to move away from my mouth. Another thing is the mute button it’s a push button on the left side of the headset. Sometimes I don’t know if I’ve muted my mic or not.

Bought to replace old Turtle Beach headphones that broke and my son says they are awesome. They don't hurt his ears and the sound is much better than his old ones.

I'm in love with this headset. I went with a wired one to avoid charging and connection issues. Its really not a problem as I can connect it directly to the Xbox SX controller. The sound is fantastic. I decided to get this one after purchasing the Dolby Atmos app, and let me tell you, it makes a world of difference when playing COD or Battlefield. Surround sound adds a new level of immersion that I've been missing all these years.

Average. But be warned while it will plug into your ps5/ps4 controllers through a solo audio jack. The one that is both a mic and stereo sound compatible is a plus, the big negative is it no longer comes with the y adapter needed for most pc's in order to use it there AND turtle beach stopped carrying them AND it is a special order item taking upwards of two weeks through competitors sites.

Received this product today. It was in EXCELLENT QUALITY when I received it. Easily un-boxed and able to set up. All items were present. I have to say this was the quickest set-up I've ever had for any type of device (T.V, PC, Laptop, Phone, etc.).

So far it’s the best headset I’ve purchased. Sits well on my head and is extremely clear. Kind of wish the mic was on a swivel but nothing major about the concern.
