    I wouldn’t purchase these again. They weren’t in the cheaper side and my son said you couldn’t hear and they broke fast!

    Just OK. Nothing special. Quality of build just OK. I guess for the price still do but I’d rather pay a little extra to get more quality.

    I bought these to use while I worked from home during the Covid crisis. The selection was limited at the time, so I thought I would try these. The headset was comfortable and as advertised, worked well with glasses. The only problem was I kept getting comments from team members they could not hear me well. I tried adjusting the microphone and eventually through them away. If you are more than a teenager playing introductory games don’t bother.

    Overall, you get what you pay for. Pros: one ear design so you can easily hear what's going on through the entertainment system while voice chat goes to one ear very cost effective. Cons: Extremely uncomfortable design, especially for smaller heads voice output through the one ear is basically non existent microphone input unreliable, many of my friends can't hear me without me speaking at loud ranges.

    This headset could be so much better, the Microsoft headset that used to come with the Xbox is better in my opinion. But it still let's you chat!

    It’s hard to hear through the headset at times and the mic won’t stay in place either. You get what you pay for.
