"I can connect my headset to my phone and my Xbox at the same time and have the FaceTime call come through my headset ... mute button on headset works you don’t have to mute on ft to be muted ... the party/game sound dial feature works with FaceTime as the party sound dial for making your game louder than your party ... works super great for when I want to watch TikToks in pregame lobbies (through the headset) and don’t want it to be blasted for my whole party to hear when I don’t want to mute myself"
"also 2x devices connection ideal"
"It does NOT turn on your Xbox when you turn on the headset. ... It will however connect to your phone or other paired Bluetooth device."

"Each side of it is a knob. You just twist each ear knob. The right ear is for volume, and the left ear is for the party mix. Easy and functional. No other headset makes it this simple and perfect."
"I really love that you can control overall volume and game/chat-balnce by twisting the earpiece- no searching for teeny tiny scrollwheels, but the whole earpiece is the scrollweel."
"Volume and chat volume on the ear cuffs is really nice."

"It was good for about 2-3 years but I use it daily with pc for work on top of gaming and it literally started falling apart. ... The plastic from the mic fell off and then the sponge bit from one ear cup, and then other ear cup. ... It’s like the whole thing one day decides to self destruct and falls apart in one month."
"The mic materials are sooooo weak, mine broke after 2 months"
"Broke after 1 year of use. Like, literally fell apart."

"the sensitivity is way too high—you can literally hear everything in my room. ... My friends hear the fan of my Xbox, my neighbors and everything else. ... In addition, the noise reduction does not work."
"It sux, no matter how much you restrict outside noise, your party still hears it"
"I just think the microphone quality isn’t great."

"it absolutely rapes your ears ... without stuff like bells and cymbals in games like ori to absolutely give u hearing damage"
"they absolutely blow for call of duty. ... Sounds like you are in a closet playing. ... Game audio is horrible."
"I tried the Xbox Wireless Headset and although the features were great, no amount of EQ could get them to sound good. ... They sound TERRIBLE out of the box and mediocre at best with a HEAVY EQ."

"Suuuuper tight. That was why I returned mine"
"the headset sits super tight (and I don't even have a big head)"
"I just found them to be too big overall ... with these the earcups always ended up pushing forward so I'd have to lean forward when playing."
