    This was a very good headset, my son loved it but the only problem we had was that the padding wasn’t not for my son and it hurt his face. But other than that he had fun with it.

    I was skeptical about purchasing a $20 headset after my $160 TBs broke yesterday. But , I needed something to hold me over until their Stealth 700 releases in September. Although uncomfortable, sound quality is decent and nobody complains about my mic on their end. Well worth the measly $20 for this headset to hold you over

    Does exactly what it's made for, and does it better than the competition. This is a chat headset, made for communicating online. It is not intended for in game audio. This is perfect for us gamers with real surround sound set-ups in our gaming rooms, who do not want our speaker system blocked out by "virtual surround" headphones.

    When you first set them up the sound is way too low, so you gotta go into the settings of your Xbox and turn the settings up. Once you do that they have super good audio quality but do fell somewhat cheap, not bad tho

    This product is a great enhancement for my Xbox One. The chat works great and the ear cup is comfortable.

    Worked great at first, then the sound would go out, and it would make a hissing sound in the ear piece. I would avoid these if you want something that lasts more than a few months.

    I can’t hear you.

    These are pretty bad. While somewhat comfortable, any positives are vastly outweighed by the headsets extreme lack of ability to do what the product is intended to do: converse with fellow gamers. I couldn’t hear anything anyone said, even with my tv muted. Returning these.

    Voice Chat sounds like a whisper.

    Used it today, hoping it would help with my Dolby Atmos speaker set up, but I could barely hear my friend. Tried out various Xbox sound setting and game settings, but it didn't work. Read reviews just now that a lot of people have the same problem.

    Save your cash

    From the weak mic material that doesn't stay in place to it not picking up your voice you're better off saving a few more bucks for a way better mic.
