So for $20 I wasn't expecting much. I had a couple of cheap Turtle Beach that worked great, but when my daughter got her own system I realized we needed a new set or two. She decided to keep the old set and I bought these. They were way better than expected. I have a lot more control over the volume, the mic is completely removed when needed. I've encountered chats that are clear and with pretty good sound quality. Have had them for about 4 months and they still work great with really no signs of wear.
