    Great sound quality for talking with friends during Xbox parties. Mic works well as they can hear me clearly. Head set is comfortable as well. Price was great and have been using for a year without any issues.

    While it is still kinda on the flimsy side it works well with Xbox controllers and anything the audio jack will fit. Recommend for someone wanting better quality then Microsoft headset at an affordable price.

    Bought this for my son, who’s an Xbox junkie. He loves the headset. Says it’s so much better than the previous gaming headset he was using. Good sound quality and good microphone. He prefers this style headset which only covers one ear.

    These certainly arent the best headphones for xbox gaming but they are great for travel. I purchased them because of size and weight for travel.

    They seemed good but when my nephew opened they were smaller than I thought. He likes them though as this brand is usually pretty expensive.

    Good price for this item, minimal setup and great sound. I'm pretty clumsy, so having this be very sturdy helps, hasn't fallen apart. They aren't big and bulky, but not so small i lose them or they fall apart. A good set to have.

    I was wondering what if I was making the right call by buying this for my kid who wanted a more expensive headset, I asked the Best Buy rep and he aid the this was a decent alternative that would suit him, he was right.

    I bought two of these simply because my son kept breaking the others. I was looking for durability. From that angle, they have held up so far. The Mic can be quiet though. I have a tough time hearing my son, but he can hear me fine. That's the reason for the 1 Star reduction.

    Decided to buy instead of $5 & $10 headphones from big lots and so far no complaint. He did have trouble accessing sound qhen he hooked it up to his xbox but through youtube we figured it out.

    Great for newbies that don’t want to spend to much on headsets, I like that it only has the one sided ear that way the kids still hear you when their in the middle of a game. I’ve purchased these for my son and 2 nephews.

    Not great sound. People can hear me fine but at full volume I can't hear them very well. Comfort is ok. I prefer the standard Xbox headset.

    You get what you pay for with this headset. I can hear other people, and they can hear me. The band that goes around your head is pretty uncomfortable after wearing it for more than ten minutes. The side without the headphone digs into your head since the plastic is so rigid. If there was more flexibility or even an adjustable band that could mold to the shape of your head, this would get a five star rating.
