Hard to hear
The one I got wasn’t good, I’m going to try to return it and see how the next one is. I could barley heard anything through the headset even with the volume all the way up. It also wasn’t clear

Functional
Works just fine. It’s cheap and does what it is supposed to. Could probably be more comfortable. In fact your phone headset for the car will probably do just as well. However, it does have the advantage of only covering one ear. A lot of nicer headsets are designed to be more comfortable and block out all sound from your wife and kids and IRL friends and who wants that? Seriously, if your wife is going to sneak up on you and lick your ear because she wants some “attention” because you’ve been playing too long your gonna wanna hear her and be ready to swap joysticks.

Perfect Chat Mic!
I don’t know why the reviews for this chat mic are so bad. Its light weight, breathable, glasses friendly and under $20. No it’s not a stereo headset, it’s for back & forth communicating only. When I first plugged directly into my xbox controller I noticed sound was muffled. Which did concern me because of alot of other reviews stating volume output is weak. This is true, but if you’d simply google this headset & volume problem. You would see you must adjust audio volume in your settings. I did this, night & day difference. Much better then the Microsoft chat mic they provided with my console. Give this mic a try if your looking for name brand, good bang for your buck cheap chat mic. I also have a stereo headset but like to wear this when I need to hear my actual surroundings haha. Hope this helped.

Best value in wired gaming chat headset
I originally purchased the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 wireless headset. It is a great headset with stereo sound and the wireless works great with my Xbox One X. However I found that my ears got all hot and sweaty from the ear cushions after a few hours. Additionally I found I didn’t like the sound isolations as I couldn’t hear anyone talking even though they were right next to me.So I ordered theres and I think they are awesome. These are meant just for chatting with your online team mates-they don’t offer any game sounds. That is fine with me as I have an audio-video receiver with 7.1 surround.I wear glasses and the head band part does not interfere with my glasses. I didn’t notice any discomfort at all after a three hour Destiny 2 session.This headset plugs into the 3.5MM jack on my Xbox One X controller. I can adjust the volume on the headset with the slider, or through setting on my Xbox unit.I can’t beat the price for value and I am completely happy with my purchase.

I WILL BUY AGAIN, NO DOUBT.
Hi Viewers,Firstly I want yo address the con of this headset, notice I still have it a 5 starts,CON: It does not work with themed x box one controllers, fortnite. Halo etc…. even after messing with setting and going through YouTube videos on how to fix, simply not comparable in my experience….PROS: Works perfectly fine with black original x box one controller, This is the second one of these i have purchased and it’s truly a great headset for the PRICE, Has Volume & Mute option on the wire for complete control, most other headsets do not have this for the price, I used it specifically for work on my laptop more than anything when working from my car and I’ll tell you it works like magic, its comfortable, convenient to a single ear only so you can stay aware of surroundings, as mentioned earlier I’ve owned 2 of these so far and these guys are durable, my first one stopped working cause my son broke it, I don’t know how this product has bad reviews? Aside from the mentioned themed control issue no other complaints, try it. I honestly believe you wont be disappointed, again price in mind, hope this helps:)

Great price! I wear glasses and it is uncomfortable …
Great price! I wear glasses and it is uncomfortable with most head sets but not this one. It also covers the ear without resting on the ear. My ears get hot very easily and these allow air to flow freely to them.

Great
Fantastic headset . Works well, easy install. Husband is extremely happy with it. He even recommended it to his friends who play video games

Sanity saver
This is amazing, ever since plugging this into his controller, backtalking from my teen has reduced 99%. Had they advertised this feature of the headset, I would have gladly paid double

Does not work properly.
So I was excited to have a headset that didnt rest right on my ear, it was very comfortable compared to the basic microsoft headset.Plugged it in to my official Gears of war xbox controller in perfect condition and I had no chat coming in to the earpiece but I could chat and everyone said I sounded like a robot, moving the connector around made horrid sounds both in my earpiece and in the chat but I could never get it to work properly.Why design something, stamp your company logo across it and shove it out the door if it doesn’t even do what it was made to do? Because you want to destroy your company obviously.First time buyer of this brand.Buyer beware if you see the Palm tree.
