Absolutely garbage. Avoid purchasing at all cost!
I've had nothing but frustrations with this headset since I bought it. Buying these was the biggest regret I had of 2018.
The sound quality is whatever... not great, not terrible. But the quality of the material is awful. First off, the usb cable it came with was super fickle and didn't really work well from the start. I could literally wiggle the cable and lose connection to the headset. So I threw that out pretty early on and used my own. Fine. Even then, the micro USB connection is still super sensitive, and didn't even keep the cable snug inside... so over time it would just get loose and the slightest shake or bump would loosen it enough for it to loose connection.
So right away this is not great, losing connection randomly is super annoying when I'm gaming. I even had my game crashing several times when this happened because apparently my computer didn't like the audio device being removed suddenly? Moving on from the connection issues, I want to talk about the foam ear pieces that you can detach to replace... Well, they suck. Absolute trash. I had them come off way too easily and they take incredible patience to put back on... something that I lack when I'm in the middle of an online match and I need a functioning pair of headphones. So either I just say screw it and play the remainder of the match with one foam ear piece missing, or I sit there fiddling with it until I get it back on.
It's extremely frustrating trying to get them back on, because as I stated earlier, they come off super easily... just a slight tug in any direction and it pops off. But to get it on you have to slowly and carefully apply the right amount of pressure around it while going around the entire piece to secure it all in place... and when you get it about 80% of the way on, you have to be extra careful as you have to stretch it to the limit to get it over the last 20%, and the slightest slip and the whole thing comes off and you have to start over.
I know it seems like a silly minor complaint, but when I'm in the middle of a match and I take off my headset momentarily to do something, and the cable comes unplugged or the foam earpiece pops off, I might as well just shut my computer down because I'm not getting back into that match any time soon with a working headset... or I'm going to sit there fiddling with it until I'm fuming and then have a terrible match because of it.
Overall this headset is just crap. I just want a quality sound without hassle or dealing with all it's little problems. Just a reliable headset I can take on and off and not worry about stuff falling off of it. These are going in the garbage... probably after I smash them into a thousand pieces.
