I was looking at headsets to use with my PC, as I currently own a wired set of headphones, but they have no microphone and I really wanted to go wireless, but did not want to spend a fortune either. Looking at what was available, I found most were more costly than I really wanted to spend until I came across this set on a warehouse deal at $77.00 for a like new pair. So I figured what the heck? The price is right and if I don't like them, or they don't measure up, I can always return them. When they arrived, I opened the box and the description was right on the mark, they were indeed 'like new'. Not a scratch, packaged as if they had never been opened or touched. So I tried them on, they were very easy to adjust and very comfortable to wear. They are able to cut out almost all external sound, much better than my old wired set. I downloaded the small app from Microsoft to set them up, which was simple to do. The only thing is that you need to be connected by USB or via the optional Xbox wireless connector, to do so. I had already plugged them in to give them a good charge and the app recognized them immediately. From there, it was simple to set them up the way I wanted them after playing around with the various settings available.
I then put them through their paces, using them with games, to listen to music and while watching movies and found them to be just fine for anything I need them for. They work fine with my smartphone as well, either when directly connected by Bluetooth to the phone or when connected to my PC and making a call through Microsoft Phone Link. They have a reasonable volume level but will not blow your ears out, so if you want a really loud headset, I would look elsewhere. Other than that, this is a fine headset and I expect to get many good years of use out of it.
I don't have a gaming console, so I can't comment on how well they would work with one. But they work great with my PC and with my Fire TV, which is all I wanted or needed. If you find them at a bargain price the way I did, you really can't go wrong with them.
