  • Best gaming headset I've EVER used!
Style: Xbox Color: White Set: Gen 1
I purchased the 7X "Xbox" version, but I can also just switch the dongle to my PS5 and use it on that if I wanted to! It's extremely comfortable, and I have had no issues with Bluetooth disconnecting at all. I don't think I can ever go back to a wired headset; this is just too good. It makes total sense why people vouch for this as the best Xbox headset! Sound quality is great! One weakness may be the mic isn't the best sounding. But maybe it could just be my settings? If you want a "fancier" wireless headset, you will be very satisfied with this! I will have to buy it again or another variant if this one ever dies! If you are on the fence, just buy it! Especially if you are on xbox! if you are a pc user, there may be better options out there. ... show more

  • Awesome headset overall
Style: PC | PlayStation Color: Black Set: Gen 1
Pros: Super comfortable, not too heavy, long battery life. Relatively plug and play on PC. Very good sound out of the box. Cons: Overall a bit pricey given the build quality/microphone quality. Needs Sonar software to sound their absolute best, or to get the most out of the headphone/microphone. Yes, its free, but still - Out of the box, sound quality overall is very good. On PC using Sonar EQ features, the headphones can be made to sound excellent overall, if still a bit etched/bright/harsh at time IMO. The microphone is overall pretty good with AI and other "enhancements", but I find adjusting the boom a bit annoying as I have to fight it a bit every time I pull it out to get it to rest properly near my mouth. I can always see in in my periphery as well, which can be a little distracting. Its possible that there is better value to be found just investing in a separate dedicated microphone. But having the "all in one" solution is convenient. I am very picky about audio quality, and I find these satisfying, especially after a careful tune. The 40mm drivers can really deliver on the bass, and deliver lots of detail and volume with low distortion. Comfort is excellent, though the clamp is almost too light for my taste. That said, I can wear these for hours with no major comfort problems with or without glasses. But they are too loose, even after I adjust them, for any sort of active wear. These are for sitting/walking around a little. Volume knobs are easy to find, though I'd like a little more resistance in them, and the ergonomics overall beat some of my other headphones for sure. The wifi range (not bluetooth), is quite good - I can play something on my computer and wander pretty far from it and maintain a signal. In terms of cons, I find these headphones a bit awkward to attach/detach from different devices with bluetooth. Its various beeps and boops and breathing LEDs do nothing for me in terms of figuring out how to disconnect from one device while staying connected to another. I'd like it to just tell me what it is trying to attach/detach to like my 7 year old Bose bluetooth speaker. The 2.4 ghz connection does not seem to have a benefit over bluetooth in terms of sound quality, which is a shame, and I don't know what happens when I break/lose that dongle. The on-board amp gets very loud, though there is some hiss, and one apparently has to enter the Sonar software to shut off the volume limit to get the full volume anyway, a bit of a quirk. Which gets me to another point: the "free" Sonar software is powerful, but it is also really needed to get the most out of these headphones. It is full of quirks - you need the "engine" menu to adjust or shut off the side mic feature, shut off the volume limiter, or to reduce game volume during calls. In the "Sonar" section, you can customize EQs for different inputs, but I found it impossible to copy an EQ I created for the "game" mode and set it to "media" or "aux" as well. Hence I have to repeat the process of doing my 10 point parabolic EQ over and over - tedious. Sliding with a mouse is fine for the uninitiated, but I needed to enter my exact values, and the software makes you click in the tiny boxes, and could not do Q values below 0.5. When listening to Music on my computer, it is also showing up under the "game" mode in the mixer, meaning I have to remember to turn on/off features like "spatial audio" since, while it is fun for games, it is terrible for music. You can drag and drop the "app" to its appropriate section, but this is more setup work. Also, Windows update has broken the Sonar software multiple times (no audio no matter WHAT I did - even audio driver reinstalls!). So far the solution has been to just re-install the Sonar software, easy enough. Still, this is super frustrating, especially the first time it happened because I had ZERO indication of what went wrong. IMO there should be a way to set a "global" EQ (parabolic, not just the sliders which IS available in the "engine" menu, confusingly), if you want. There should also be hotkeys I can set up to turn on/off things like spatial audio, the EQ, or adjust the side mic or other mic features. Heck, why not let me set an EQ and save it to the headphone itself, so I can have it when using these with my other non-PC devices? That would make these even more awesome and let me have consistent sound across devices. As an inferior solution, we could have an engine/sonar app for our phones/tablets, I guess. I still recommend these overall, for those wanting a good headset with a good mic that is fun for games but capable of being great for casual music/movie stuff too. When gaming I am still getting the hang of balancing chat/game sounds since everyone seems to have different microphone quality. I was hoping that one of the many features of this software would be to tame some of the hotter microphones out there. A pair of cheap, non-gaming bluetooth headphones I own seemed to do this a lot better. For the full asking price, I think some of the compromises in terms of material choices, microphone quality, and features are a bit of a stretch. But for the sale price I paid, I think it is about right, especially since the Sonar software really does up the ante if you are going to do a lot of gaming. Lets hope it stays free, otherwise I might have held out for better overall "out of the box" performance. ... show more

  • Super comfortable, fantastic headset!
Style: PlayStation Color: Black Set: Gen 1
When I decided to get a new headset for my PS5 I did some looking around for quality wireless ones and landed on this pair. No matter how many I've tried through the years I keep having the same comfort problem - until I got these. Gone is the discomfort of hard plastic rubbing the top of my skull. These are absolutely perfect in terms of wear. They are light, the ear cup material is not too hot and this does not rest heavily on your head. I sometimes use blue light blocking glasses as well and these allow you to comfortably wear frames without any friction. The battery life is really good as well and I appreciate that the power light indicator will continue to change color as the battery drains. So if you have a full charge the light is green, over time it will fade to yellow and then to red and beep for you to know the power is almost out. They charge lightning quick though so I have never had an issue with the battery life. One of the most exciting features is the ability to use dual audio. So you can hook these up via bluetooth to your console, but ALSO your mobile phone. So if you want to listen to game audio, but also a video on YouTube, you can have both going in your ears at once. It's really awesome! And also makes these an ideal pair for people that might just want them for their mobile devices. Pairing with devices is positively painless and the microphone can be retracted at any time so as not to obscure your face. My partner has borrowed these before for work calls and has never had any issues with audio quality. To me, the sound is fairly balanced, but does not have any in depth equalizer or app that I am aware of. Volume can be relatively quieter than some headsets even at full blast, but it is still more than sufficient to me - especially if you have the dual audio going. Say you have Spotify open on your phone or tablet app, you can control that apps volume while the headset volume itself is separate. This is a really neat option in my opinion and I do it often when I'm listening to music while gaming. These also have spatial audio support, so if your console allows it you can tune these in your console settings if you like the 3D audio in games. Honestly, you really can't go wrong with these and I highly recommend for their versatility and comfort alone. ... show more
