    Solid chat headset

    As far as quality goes, this thing is great. Chat audio is clear and the open cup lets you hear everything around you as well. The microphone also picks up sound very well and doesn’t pick up too much background noise. The only complaints I have are. 1: since the cup padding is split, there is a decent amount of pressure on the bottom part of the cup that pushes against your head under your ear. 2: The microphone position is a little odd. It holds in place when you wear it but always wants to move away from your mouth when you move it at all, so to put it on you have to kind of push it out of the way then move it back to your mouth. It’s just a little awkward.

    It’s nice for the price. The part that grips your head DOES kinda start to ache after awhile but it’s nothing a little break won’t fix.

    For the price these are great. The ear part is not the most comfortable, but you get what you pay for. Great sound and adjustment on the mic.

    It’s a good headset for the price. I have one of the PlayStation ones but needed a better microphone. I’d recommend this for any gamer who just wants one ear covered.

    Don't expect the highest quality, heck it only has one earpiece. I love that it works well for people who wear glasses, slots that glasses fit in. I wanted something cheap that would allow me to communicate with friends and just use the tv for the in-game music and sounds, perfect for me.

    I would recommend just spending the extra money, for the nicer headset with the padding, these were just so uncomfortable to wear, it was to stiff and the plastic just isn’t great, though for the headset it’s self and the mic, it works great, so if you don’t mind the uncomfotableness and like the cost, than do it. If not, I suggest the more expensive turtle beach, I have the camo padded ones now, absolutely love !

    First of all, this headset is only $20 ,so its cheap, which is a plus for some. However, there are items that are cheap and great, this isn't one of them! I'm a girl so i have a smaller head, unfortunately it didn't fit me well, even at the tightest it could go. The worst thing was that it was PAINFUL to wear! My head would hurt once I was done using this headset, but hey like I said you get what you pay for. The noise input isn't that great either.

    Great headset for the price. Was able to hear other players clearly and they could hear me. Could be a little more comfortable but for $20, was worth it.

    I bought this alongside Overwatch so that I can talk to my friends and was a little disappointed by the fit of this headset. The ear piece is a hard plastic, which doesn't feel that great. And the volume is pretty low on the headset as well. If you need a cheap, quick solution and don't plan on playing for hours on end, these are alright.

    So this has been a mixed experience. Overall, it's comfortable, the microphone is good, there are no compatibility issues. The one thing that I'm not super happy about is the way the ear cup sits against my head. There are notches on the edge, presumably so that eye glasses are accommodated, but it makes the speaker a distance from my ear and so it requires a louder volume and it's also not really isolating if that's important. Not perfect, but good. I Will recommend it only if you don't mind the louder volume and lack of isolation.

    My son likes this headset. It was cheap to buy which might mean that it will not last very long. Time will tell.
