Excellent budget headset with its pros and cons compared to the old version

After so many problems with Microsoft OEM headsets early in the Xbox One life cycle, I decided to try the PDP brand. And having a pair of LVL 1 I really prefer his brand. This headset offers some improvements over LVL 1, but also some disadvantages. Good: 1. Microphone adjustment is better. It's much more flexible than the LVL 1, which had a flimsy plastic mic with limited positions2. Sound quality: The sound quality seems to be significantly better. My friends can hear me well. Cons, but not necessarily critical: 1. Maybe it's just me. But I like having a dedicated mute switch on the cable itself. Already at level 1. To do this, you need to turn the microphone to the up position. I have to say he looks a little thin. A dedicated mute switch is more effective and keeps the mic in place2. Comfort leaves a lot to be desired. Not just how much you can expand it to fit your head. But with a cloth on the bowl. It feels a bit like sandpaper. The LVL1 has faux leather which definitely feels soft and cozy around my ear. All in all, I would choose it over the Microsoft OEM headset anytime! Not only is Microsoft asking a lot, but in my personal experience, Microsoft peripherals really went downhill on the first Xbox generation. This is just my personal opinion. In that case, this is a great budget headset. The costs are very reasonable. And they tend to stay fairly white.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
