I recently got hearing aids, so the ear bud headset I had been using was no longer going to cut it. That and with the stereo phone headset Dobly Atmos would not function properly on the Xbox. I like this headset because it has an open cup design. They are designed so they don't block out the environment like most over the ear headsets do. I wear glasses as well and the cup design fits over both my glasses and hearing aid with no issues. I'm using these for everything now. From conference calls for work to playing on Xbox. Definitely a good purchase. Sure you could spend a lot more on a stereo headset, but if you just need a good chat headset that can plug into the 3.5mm port on new Xbox controllers as well as laptops etc, then these are hard to pass up for the price. Cheaper than the Microsoft headset that connects to the controller port. I've broken enough of those that I quit buying them. I haven't been disappointed with this purchase. Money well spent.

You’ll be adjusting it every 15 minutes as the hard plastic digs in your skull. It does function well for chat purposes, but it’s very uncomfortable after a short period.

They are great for what they're worth. They are flimsy but comfortable, my friends say they hear me much better with this headset.

I purchased this because I usually wear glasses while gaming and thought this would be a more comfortable option. It's not. The head piece is so stiff that it pushed into my head, hard. Also, I have one of the old XBox One controllers that has the rectangular port that you connect headsets to, and because I wasn't aware that most headsets require a 3.5mm jack, I wasn't able to use it at all. I ended up returning it and buying a new controller and nicer Turtle Beach dual ear headset. I just won't wear glasses while gaming.

I was looking for a reasonably prices headphone with a boom mic to use both with meetings and when teaching my students. This is the one. It works well with my PC and Surface Pro and did not cost a lot

Purchased this for my 5year old daughter. It worked well but lost its use within a few uses. Great product though. Can’t beat the price.

It’s ok if you only want to drop $20 bucks on a head set but it really cheap for a turtle beach head set save a extra $20 and get the $40 dollar one much better

Bought this when it was on sale for my Son. He loves it! He can be rough on things like this but it has held its own against him. It's not as sturdy as I thought it would be but overall good buy.

Solid entry level headset for the xbox one. Fits well around glasses, but the cap for glasses doesn't have a seal so I would have to turn the headset volume to hear my team. Not bad for the price.

Great headphones. Purchased one for each of my boys (gamers) and they work great during quarantine. They also use them for school remotely.
