Xbox One Stereo Headset

I bought these as somewhat of an inpulse buy because I wanted some good headphones for my XBox and would have had to buy the "puck" to plug the headphones into and the price for this was pretty good so I hit two birds with one stone with this.OVERVIEW:Boy was I surprised, the headphones sound GREAT, and the headset mic hiding away with a magnet is pretty ingenious. These things will work with cellphones as well so that's a bonus if you want to use them for everyday listening, and for over the hear headphones these things are comfortable and don't get your ears too hot, if you are like me and prone to overheating. My only complaint is that because the headband attaches near the bottom of the earphones the band looks a bit odd as it goes out wide on the side of your head (only a concern if you use them in public.The puck is great too, in addition to a general volume it has a balance between chat and game audio so you can adjust those to your preference. I'm also very happy that they went with a puck in general, because having a mute somewhere reachable without taking your hand off the controller is much better than having to grope for the inline connector when you feel a sneeze coming on.SOUND QUALITY:Like I said these things sound great, Bass is a little overdone, but is about inline with Beats, the mids could be brighter and highs are crisp, overall pretty on par with the high end Beats in every way. There isn't any active noise cancelling because these are unpowered, but it passively blocks out a good 85% of all sound, so don't expect to hear anyone talking to you especially if you're "bumping the jams".My only real complaint in sound and it is super minor, is that there is a bit of a hiss when navigating the homescreen on the XBox One, and the range is only about 20 feet max.In addition to that the mic sounds great, I used them on my PC (after buying a splitter to separate the headphones and mic plugs) and everyone said I was crystal clear. Also because the mic is about 2.5 inches long it doesn't extend in front of your face so you don't get any mouth or nose breathing on the mic.Overall this is fantastic, especially considering the price, if you need a good sounding pair of headphones with or without a mic for gaming, PC or for XBox, this is THE BEST value period.

I was looking for a replacement to the cheap headset that came with my Xbox One. This Xbox One Stereo Headset was very appealing because it included the headset and the headphone adapter for the controller. Because of the inclusion of the adapter, the cost of the actual headset can be considered that much cheaper. Comparing the price of this headset with the original low quality headset, they were quite similar in price (not including the cost of the included adapter). I decided it was worth it to get this headset, considering how poor quality the other headset was. I have owned this headset for approximately four months and I am very impressed with its quality. The wrap around the ear part is cloth, and it breathes quite well. I have been able to wear these comfortably for over seven hours at a time. The headphones fairly effectively dampen outside sound, which can be both good and bad. On the good side, you only generally hear what is in your Xbox. On the bad, it is really hard for someone to get your attention with these on (some might still consider this a positive).Something I learned the hard way on the audio controls with the adapter: the buttons on the left control the BALANCE of the sound in the headset. If you press the symbol that looks like a person, it means more of the sound comes from chat, rather than the actual game. As an example, it may start with 50% chat and 50% game sound. If you press the person button, it might make it 60% chat and 40% game (I don't know if these are the exact percentages they change to, but you get the idea). If you press the person button until you hear a beep, it means 100% of the sound is chat. If you press the controller button until you hear a beep, 100% of the sound is game. The buttons on the right control the actual volume of all sound coming into your headset. The middle button controls mute.I like this headset so much that I will occasionally use it for sound when I am watching a video on my iPad as well, since it plugs into a standard headphone jack.
