### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Headset!!
*by R***R on December 23, 2025*

Great quality headset, it's very comfortable and amazing sound quality and mic quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My preferred headset
*by T***E on September 28, 2025*

I prefer a one sided headset because my toddler is hyperactive, and I need to keep an ear out at all times. So this is the perfect solution. 🥰 works amazing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sound, good mic, headband a little too tight.
*by M***. on December 18, 2017*

The sound from the speaker is very crisp and clear. I like the open cup design of the speaker side so I can keep the game sounds on my sound system in my livingroom. I like the glasses-friendly cup design of the speaker. That's a great feature.No one has complained they can't hear me, so the mic must be better than the last headset I had, because I have a pretty quiet voice. There is a little black foam padding on the non-speaker side, but it's kinda' firm for my liking. The band across the top of your head is sometimes so tight that it gives me a headache and I have to take it off to get a break once in a while. As far as the headband, I'm not sure what I can do... it seems like it got bent in a small circle being in the small box that it came in. Maybe I can find a box about the same width as my head and store the headset on that box while I'm not using it. Maybe that would stretch out the plastic headband and make it more comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I regularly play for 2 to 3 hours when playing online with friends. The headband tightness starts to bother me after probably 1.5 hours, then I have to take breaks here n there after that.
