The sound is only in one headphone

It was very disappointing that the headphones only work individually. It fades from the left to the right tone. Would put them by the window again but my son thought that's how they should work :-(

Pros
  • A large selection
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Clear sound, the king of multitasking.

My only complaint is that the rubber hurts in my ears after a while, I still only wear one when speaking/playing. I will say that I already have sensitive ears, so don't let that confuse you. Very convenient for listening to in-game audio/phone calls. Works perfectly. While you can easily get confused, this helped a lot. Looks just like the photo, love that there is a mute switch on the controls!

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Can't remember

Surprisingly good for accessories

I'm very impressed with them so far. They have a comfortable design, the quality of the microphone (according to my friends) is excellent and the sound quality is much better than I expected. Not what my audiophile ears would call absolutely great, but pretty good for the under $20 price I bought it at. I was also impressed with how well they block out outside noise. The only downside I can think of isn't their own fault. They're useless while the Switch is docked, unless of course you're…

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • Hard to say

garbage buds! The microphone does not work, the product has been used.

Didn't know that "Nintendo Licensed" means the product has been used and refurbished. I was surprised to receive a worn box with a Revain sticker on it that said something like 'used' or 'replace headphones'. I don't remember exactly what the sticker said, but I remember being upset thinking it was new because it was to be given to my mother-in-law. When they tried it on their Switch, the mic didn't work. When I tried this in my Switch Lite, the mic still didn't work. garbage item! I ended up…

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Disappearing

I've been using them for 3 months now and they're still good

These are my headphones for gaming (ps4, xbox, pc, switch), calls and music. I use them quite heavily throughout the day and night and I have to say I don't know why there are so many bad reviews. They sit well in my ears, they take a little getting used to, but it's worth it. As I mentioned, I've had this pair for 3 months now and it's still going strong. My last pair I used lasted 8 months under heavy use. And even then the volume was slightly lower on 1 ear. They were still workable and…

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

Another disappointing gimmick from Nintendo

If I had to describe these headphones in one word, bulky would be the first word that springs to mind. They are unsuitable for wearing to bed, exercising or just moving around the house. I really don't know what environment would you wear them in? I think during games, but they're hard on the ears. They come with large rubber hooks to hold them in your ear, but they're very uncomfortable. However, without ear hooks, they easily fall out of the ears, and the use of a microphone makes them…

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Requires a power outlet

Works for voice chat and listening to game sounds

I rarely review but wanted to help out all new Animal Crossing Switch folks. So yes, it works for voice chat in Animal Crossing. It mixes audio so you can hear game sounds and voice chat in the same ear. People had no hearing problems even when I dropped the mic next to me and didn't notice. The main downside is that the headphones are not comfortable at all. I've never really liked earphones, but they just have the thinnest silicone thing ever that offers almost no comfort. I'm having a hard…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Makes me angry
