Fits well. Works well. Good buy. Bad battery life though
I'm posting this review after only a week of use. If something changes, I'll revise it accordingly.
I had a Logitech G35 wired headset that I loved, aside from the fact it was wired. Lo and behold one clumsy action ripped the headset out and broke the USB connection. Which is a shame because I loved that headset.
The wireless version didn't have great reviews so I looked at other options and decided to give this one a try.
Pros:
- Fits well, fully adjustable.
- Love the lights, and they're customizable!
- Mic lifts up which auto-mutes it
- Has Volume control on the bottom of the left earpiece
- I can now get up and walk to grab a drink without having to take my headset off.
- Zero drop in call quality. NOTE: I have not tried going more than ~15 feet from the USB receiver as I currently live in a condo. I'll be testing this longer range after I move.
- Very snug fit over the ears, which blocks out a lot of sound even when your game / music volume is low. I'm considering it a pro even though it means my girlfriend has to throw something at me to get my attention now.
Cons:
- I loved being able to pause/play music on the G35, I wish this headset had that.
- I now occasionally get stuff thrown at me. See last pro listed above.
UPDATE 9 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE:
Approx 40ft on the range, less around corners. The condo was small and more open, the house we're in now is not. Calls drop when I walk to the kitchen BUT it auto-reconnects. So if you're on Skype or Discord whoever you're speaking with just wont be able to hear you for a couple moments and then when you're back in range you can talk again.
Battery life sucks after 9 months. It now only lasts around 4 hours before I have to charge.
BUT - the call quality, sound quality, mic, construction, etc are all fantastic.
