Great Gaming Heatset
||Posted .My daughter is 9 years old and this gaming headset is great for kids. It not expensive $70 and work great has noise control. The mouth piece is attached to the headset when not I’m use you just push it back in. I Love these headset it just plug in and go. The headset don’t feel cheap they are maked of good materials. I have payed $100 for corsair headset and they didn’t even last 6 months and felt cheap.
I would recommend this to a friend Features

Pretty good
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I got this headset to replace my xiberia K5s which I had for 2 years. The mic sounds a tad bit different than my old one but I got over that pretty quickly. It has a fair bit of bass, maybe not enough for the hardcore bass lovers but for me it's good enough. The headset has a little more firm cushion than I was used to but I also got over that as well over time. My only small issue with is the place where the cups swivel, it kinda feels a little cheap but I'm fairly easy on my headsets so it shouldn't be an issue for me. Overall I'm pretty satisfied

Good Headphones With PS5
||Posted .Owned for 11 months when reviewed.These headphones have been really good so far, only once did the padding on one of the sides pop off but it was fairly easy to put back on and this only happened after a while of owning these. I stay away from headphones with "leather" pads because they just build up sweat around my ears and eventually start to look ugly. The padding on these are like material and feel really comfortable and soft. The adjustable band for the top of your head is not to intrusive and doesn't feel too weird. Bought these for use with the PS5 and they work great.

Very durable and LOUD
||Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.For a "budget" headset these things are awesome!! Replaced some Lucid's i had that broke after about a year. These are powered by the xbox controller (no separate power source) so thats really nice. I was worried they might not get very loud but boy do they ever! Also they are not advertised as noise cancelling but when I play video games I have to take them off my head to hear anything the wife says. My gamer friends say the MIC quality is good and they can clearly hear me. Audio positioning through the xbox one X seems to be really good for APEX and WarZone. If your not looking to break the bank these seem to be the best choice...i have now owned for 1 1/2 years with no problems or need to upgrade.

Q: QuestionDoes it connect with a USB on a PC?
Asked by Fisherman.
- A:Answer No, rather it fits in where the head phone plugs in. The mic will work through that connection as well. I found out that it works well with external computer speakers that have the head phone jack, with the mic very well, therefore muting the speakers while doing a video chat session. I hope that this helps Charlie

Q: QuestionAre these actual noise cancelling headset
Asked by Cruz.
- A:Answer They may not be noise cancelling headphones but they do block A LOT of sound out. About not being able to hear yourself, you just adjust the sidetone up in the software and it helps tremendously. If you don't know what sidetone is, it plays back your voice through the headset so you dont end up talking louder than needed. Before you ask, no it doesn't sound funny or echo it actually just feels right. NOTE if you turn up sidetone too much it will make a terrible feedback squealing sound that will make you want to rip the headset off and throw it across the room to get away from the awful sound. Just take care when adjusting sidetone, normally only need to set it to 1 or 2. Love these headphones though.
