Headphones do not work while charging...
I honestly cannot believe in all of the reviews I read on these, that the reviewers did not mention the number one glaring issue with these headphones.
THEY DON'T WORK WHILE CHARGING. And that is normal for these headphones! I can look past the buggy software issues and the strange on off button (that only sometimes works) but for a newly released set of $150 headphones to not work while charging, is insane to me. How annoying to find out you can't play a video game with your friends because you have to let your headset charge?
Even worse, what happens when I'm on a work call and they die or the battery gets low? I just don't speak until they are charged? I would love to know what the prod. team who developed these has to say about this "feature".
I'll try to briefly summarize the other issues that I could have gotten over.
1) The headsets max volume is not very loud. I had my PC audio all the way up, and the headset audio all the way up, and it still seemed about normal.
2) The initial software install is buggy.
3) I could not figure out the audio jack to save my life. When plugged in, I could hear static, but the power on the headset would turn off. I tried everything/troubleshooted for like an hour and could not get it to work.
4)The headphones are on a strange vertical slant. Normal headphones are pretty much straight up and down, but these are tilted forward for some reason.
5) They are uncomfortable (Mostly due to reason number 4)
I could have gotten past the list of issues above by lying to myself that the price was worth it because it gets the job done, however this is too much. I am shocked that other people gave these a positive review.
TLDR ; Headphone's don't work while charging, and that is not a software error or bug.
