Do a little research.
I have noticed that most of the 1 star reviews are from kids trying to use the wireless on xbox, which a little bit of reading would have told them from the start that it wouldn't work. That aside, This is a solid headset for the price. It is very comfortable, even while wearing glasses. It can be a bit heavy after a couple hours, but really we shouldn't be sitting at the PC gaming for 4 hours straight anyway, so I can't really gripe there. The battery is good, I literally can't imagine playing for so long in one sitting that the battery dies, and if it does, either YOU forgot to charge it over night, or YOU have some serious life problems and time management skills to work out. Sound quality is standard, nothing amazing but works well, and the virtual 8-speaker THX works exactly as intended from all the games I have tried so far. The ear cups cancel sound well enough, but they aren't true "noise cancelling" as far as I am concerned. Probably not a bad thing if you don't still live with Mommy. Gotta answer the doors and pretend to be an adult.
Overall, its a great headset and the price is right, on par with Corsair Void or Logitech G-series. It really is a shame that kids who don't do their research first are allowed to make bad reviews to mask their own negligence to market research.
ADVICE: if you plug in the wireless adapter and get very little sound, poor mic quality, or faint recording, PLEASE try a different USB port. There is a difference between USB 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 and you want to be certain you are at least using 2.0. DO NOT USE the USB ports on the front of your PC, They are not shielded like the rear I/O and they are much more common to give issues with sound from these kind of devices due to interference.
