They also appreciate the microphone, compatibility with devices like Xbox, and the comfortable fit and weight. However, some customers note that the volume could be louder and the cord length is too short.

    These didn’t hold up as long as I thought they should for the price. I just purchased in March and they lasted only a few months .

    Overpriced for what you get. Not the best sound quality and there's definitely better. I'm not a fan of the plastic bits, they feel like they would snap in my hands.

    I can't really compare it to anything else because it's the first one I've bought. It works fine I suppose, can get a little uncomfortable if wearing for a long time.
