I found that the headset is very similar to my arctis nova pros with some cheaper components but otherwise function the same. Probably won't last very long but they are cheap enough that it's too much of a problem.

Just bought the headset last month and it works great! It did take some figuring out how to use with the Sonar though. However once I got it set up it sounded great.

I got these for my girlfriend and she uses them every night. They work for what she needs, they let her talk with us in discord and hear the game shes focusing on clearly. Now they aren't really surround sound but for a cozy gamer they'll take care of you just fine.

The sound is great no doubt about it. However. Using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm Audio Cable - 5 pole to 4 pole like those I used 25 years ago is the dummest idea EVER. The first headset got a problem with the mic and the replacement got the dual 3.5mm Extension Cable not working at all (no sound, no mic)

Actually very comfortable, sound is much better than I expected. The mic could use some work and the cable seems to have a sound that when touched reverberates through the headset like flicking a tensioned cable but I can overlook those. Well worth the price

Bought these for my Xbox Series X because most of the videos I saw online were positive if you’re a casual gamer. If not for how comfortable they are, I’d be giving these one star instead of two. I was doing multiplayer on a game with a friend and it took me toggling through menus and hitting the mute button on the side SEVERAL times before the mic would actually work. Even then, I had to have the mic practically in my mouth before my friend could even hear me talking - she still struggled to though, and said that it sounded like I was trying to talk to her from another room. At one point, the headset just stopped working altogether. I couldn’t hear my friend, the sound of the game we were playing (which was far too quiet even with the volume set to max), or talk to her through the mic. I unplugged the headset from my controller multiple times before I could finally hear sound again from the left side of the headset. The right side was completely quiet. I fiddled with the cord connected to the headset and my controller some more before I finally found the apparent sweet spot and could hear out of both sides of the headset. BUT THEN MY FRIEND COULDN’T HEAR ME. After several minutes of messing with the cord, I finally got the headset working again somehow. Maybe I got a bad pair. I don’t know. But I’m going to exchange these for the Turtle Beach Recon 600 Gen 2.
