So in the past I've had a number of headsets. Starting from 2003 in about 3rd grade playing Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne on PC with an old school stand mic to now playing PS4 and Xbox One with this great headset. I've had several different brands such as Turtle Beach, Tritton, Astros, Microsoft's Xbox 360 standard mic, and Playstation's ps3 bluetooth headset. With my Tritton Kunai going out on me after only about a year in a half (great headset, but now has a constant 'echo' when playing with friends (do note that the echo started first) and then the hinge on the mic cracked a bit when I accidentally stepped on it, now the headset won't stay on my head too well even with hardcore taping), being disappointed with the loss of quality in the new gen Turtle Beach headsets (overall did not like the sound quality on the Earforce XO and friends saying I did not sound too great on the mic) , and accidentally lightly stepping on the hinge of my A30 Astros resulting in no sound in one ear and the mic never connecting (when I saw 'lightly stepping' on the headset, I really mean it. It's not some BS excuse. I actually did stop myself before I could REALLY put pressure on it. Overall it felt like cheap plastic, didn't even last a year); I think it was time for a new brand....
Normally I would never buy a headset over the $50 mark on Black Friday (hence why I've owned moderately expensive headsets like the Astros and Turtle Beach Ear Force XO); but with my gf's mother giving me a pretty decent Amazon gift card and seeing this $150 headset on sale for ~$91; I just caved.
Everyone has their own needs when it comes to buying something. For me, I needed a headset that could take a beating. I often bring the headset to my girlfriend's house and occasionally to a friend's house. Next I needed a headset with decent speakers. I'm tired of crappy audio and mic quality (such as the TB Ear Force XO). Lastly, I wanted a headset that can function well while going from PS4, Xbox One, and even to my phone.
I'll get to the point...
Pros:
1. Build quality is great! Really can take a beating. 3.5mm jack and usb cords are thread so it won't fringe easily. Headset sits well on my head.
2. Audio SOUNDS GREAT! The surround sound works very well and the sound quality is great.
3. Mic quality (as stated by friends) is great. I sound clear and will pick up the smallest sounds. Great when you have a roommate sleeping or a complaining parent.
Cons:
1. Size of headset. Its large, but not uncomfortable or anything. Just large for storage.
