"Gaming Headset FULL of problems"
1 stars"

This headset isn't good at all. I bought mine and expected to have a mic and audio jack and it didn't. I bought a audio splitter for it and it didn't fix the problem. My sound was being recorded through my mic. The mic quality isn't good, its muffled as well as the sound. I bought a basic logitech headset for $15 and that lasted 3 years and worked better than this. Would not recommenced this product to anyone.

"Need to buy an adapter for PC for it to work with the mic!"
3 stars"

I got gifted these for Christmas from a friend and was super stoked about it, because I've had to deal with crappy headsets for 3 years. Unfortunately, I didn't know I needed to buy an adapter as well and have done so. It only has one jack, PCs need 2 to be able to use the headset and the mic. That's the only let down for me, personally, I overlooked it, but if you are using it for other media like xbox, ps4, iPhone, that's fine since it's universal and you only need the one jack. The sound is amazing. Never heard anything like it. Overall, it's super comfy, even with my glasses on, it doesn't hurt my ears like other ones! Just being a bit let down by needing an extra thing for it to work, and the cable is a bit short to reach my PC on the floor. (1.1m. 2m would be better.)

"Good mic, audio is fine"
4 stars"

Its a 4 pole 3.5 audio jack, I needed a 3 pole splitter for my pc idk if more modern mobos are 4 pole id assume not. Can pick a splitter up at jaycar for like 8$. Think spending the extra 10 on a better headset is the better option.

"Best Budget Headset!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

For those wanting a good quality headset but don't have the budget for one. The sound quality is AMAZING, and it feels cozy to wear! Shame the mic arm isn't adjustable though, but that can be fixed by turning up the sensitivity.

Great delivery, The headphones sometimes easily pick up background audio, glad I have a spare pop filter.

"Does the job"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Not the prettiest headset or comfiest but for the simple Job of teamchat with your mates it does the job. A beginners headset if you will, tide you over until you get some dollars for a better one.

"Simply Awful"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I bought these for my son. His report is; on a PC, the volume is so low that they're basically unusable. The microphone doesn't work at all without a splitter cable.

"Really bad after awhile"
1 stars"

These headphones start off as your standard set of headphones but after about a month the right ear starts to cut out and then after about another 4 months of cutting out the right ear will produce zero sound what so ever, on Xbox there is no sound at all but the mic still works, the mic is ok but not the greatest thing ever

"Terrible for PC"
1 stars"

It doesn't work with a PC if you want to use both the Mic and Sound without an adapter.

"Its not very good"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The cord is too short and the mic quality is actual garbage, don't buy not worth it
