Noise canceling works TOO well lol. But seriously, I got into the game and the outside world doesn't exist. I play Destiny 2 a lot and when not I use them for other games and also just for streaming shows. The headset can be used universally for console (Ps4) and PC. The cord is long and has a velcro strap that holds the cord together when twisted. I would give it 4 stars because the USB gets in the way sometimes at the end and also because of the length of the cable. But I've given it a 5 because it's definitely designed for PC, second for Dualshock 4 compatibility. The light effect is cosmetic but a nice touch to let people know you're in a game and should wait . The mute button and volume control are good, I used them on the ear but the cable is fine.
