Edit, Follow up.
I liked the fit and finish. They feel like quality. I didn’t like the gadgety nature. I like the Bluetooth additional input to enable phone calls and bkg music whilst I game it up, The eq presets are awkward in use and easy to change inadvertently. Same with the master volume and channel split wheels. (Game audio/chat audio) In order to utilize all the features and eq that was advertised you need a computer to download firmware into the headset and an app for the computer. (ad says just internet connection) And you can’t use your Xbox, it must be a PC. The sound is on par with $100 headphones. They’re not the best for listening to music, but are more than adequate for gaming. I found the mic a bit sensitive. But by adjusting mic volume and game chat volume I found a sweet spot that I’m not getting background noise and my breathing while also hearing game chat and being heard but it took an hour of adjusting the game audio and the headset audio to do it. I feel sure if I changed games I would have to do it again. Also the ear cups swivel so you can lay the headset on your neck. This is one of the reasons I chose this headset and to my surprise, I found it more annoying than useful. When gaming, it doesn’t matter and when not gaming I take them off. That’s when they turn into this awkward object that flops around when you pick it up and has to be “arranged” to put over your ears.
Bottom line, I bought them to use for gaming on my Xbox and for that they are quite adequate. The swiveling ear cups are a non-bonus and ended up annoying. The sound is okay for the price range and the mic is okay after you fiddle with it.
1/10/23- Follow up. I’ve had this headset about a week and though I’ve “learned” where and what the buttons and wheels are, they’re still a little awkward. I gotta say though, I’m liking some of the gadgetry. It connects seamlessly (Bluetooth) to my other devices. TV, Phone, Siri. While remaining connected to the Xbox with their proprietary voodoo. So, while gaming I can hear and speak with team members while listening to my phone’s playlist and adjusting the volume and mix of all three on the fly. Oh, and take a phone call or have a text read to me and reply. I guess gadgety has it’s rewards. The battery and charging bit are annoying but only in that the battery lasts so long I forget about it and it starts asking for a charge which doesn’t really interrupt using it once I hook up the charging cable, which doesn’t seem to effect charging times if I’m using it while charging. 1 week in I’m happier than I was. Still wish the buttons and wheels weee more ergonomic tho.
