Customer Reviews

Well I don't know where to begin I purchased this headset to use with my xbox 360 via astro Mix amp. I know what your thinking "why the hell are you using a $30 headset with a $130 amp?" but it is because I have been through many different headsets and configurations. Either the headsets I buy are uncomfortable or the mic is too poor. This headset gets a A in comfort and has proven to be the best mic I have tried on the 360 to date.
Now my gripes are that this headset has a wide birth thanks to the fold up design that just looks stupid on a more close cropped head. I guess I can live with that fact for the plus of having them fold up nicely. The sound is a bit low without a amp. Nothing amazing with the ear pads but they have a nice cushion so the headset is very comfortable and light. The lows are not as tight as I would want, the mids and highs are average.
If it wasn't for the price factor I might have sent them back but thanks to the mic and portability I am sure I will keep them around.
