5 stars for the price

Eventually, serious gamers will ditch the standard headset, but if you're new to the Xbox or gaming in general, or you just need to buy some time while you research more expensive headsets, this is a great starter! Mine has been through the ringer (thrown, sat on, spilled drinks, etc.) and still works! So it's highly durable as well. No batteries required, as it attaches by wire to your Xbox controller. Easy to mute and adjust the volume using the integrated buttons that are already at your fingertips. Now for the cons! - Your squad/teammates will hear background noise through your mic if it's loud enough. True for a lot of headsets, but with this type especially, you're not using it for game audio (only chat audio). So that means you're going to be relying on your TV's audio during gaming. If you turn that up too loud, teammates will hear it! - While wired has some advantages, the big disadvantage is that it dangles and can get easily snagged. Minor gripe, but worth mentioning. - Foam earpiece is comfortable for short-term gaming, but the fact it's up against your entire ear becomes more noticeable over time. - Not the loudest or clearest audio experience! Overall though, it's hard to beat the price. Great to have as a backup or in the meantime while you're trying to decide on a more expensive headset.

Used. Junk. You will regret buying!!!
By DMM on Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2024
“Brand new” haha right. Plugged them in, no chat, not working either direction. They were just dead. Unplugged them, plugged them back in, tried to update controller, tried 3 other updated controllers…NOTHING. Tried one last time and they worked…..An hour later, they didn’t work again. Dead like they started. Did the whole process thing again, couldn’t get them to work. Once again I have to hop in the car and drive more Amazon junk back to the UPS store. For the record, when I opened the box, the clear round sticker to the box looked like it had been picked off and put back on a few times. The whole headset was covered in white cloth fuzzies and in the right light, you could see water marks on the black of the product. The “manual” was bent and corners were bent clearly been roughed around. They were used and clearly were wiped down to look new. Never have I ever seen this in an actual new headset from the store or electronics stores. Plain and simple, I ordered new and got used. And used JUNK. Save your time, listen to these bad reviews because they aren’t bought or paid for…they are legit. These things are being sold to us as new and they are clearly returns from other places, being sold as new. And most people return crap when it doesn’t work so AMAZON needs to stop this from happening!!! We order new we expect new! Much like when we buy from the store!!!!! So I’m returning these and getting my money back and then I’m going to go to an actual store and buy them. Which is what I should have done from the start. I’m tired of having to go to TWO places….when buying stuff online. Once to the UPS store and then again to a store to buy a replacement of the junk I got delivered to my door. Such an eye roll. DONT BUY THESE HEADSETS. LISTEN TO THE OTHER BAD REVIEWS OR YOU WILL SURELY BE DISAPPOINTED. LIKE ME.
