I was surprised by the quality for this price.

My second headset of this type is this one. I received the first one in 2022 and used it extensively for work. It is still functional; only the ear pads have lost their elasticity with time. But she is still alive.

Now that I've purchased a second one, I was really extremely happy that it was on sale due to the ear cushions.

This is an extremely adaptable headset that works for: - work, where Zoom, Discord, and other video conferences are unmatched; - gaming, where it works for any kills, including audio contact with an ally;

I purchased it specifically so that I could play Starcraft II in 2x2 mode (with a partner) and vocal communication, and I'm quite happy with the outcome. The game and negotiations may both be well heard.

I can compare them to: - wired Sinheisers (worse because the wire comes out of each ear); - wireless Bang and Olufsen (more intriguing sound, but unfriendly bakery and poorer microphone).
Its practicality rips even more expensive acoustics, which is all nonsense in the context of this thing.

Pros

- Excellent layout, hands down. The microphone can be turned in all directions, only one ear is wired (otherwise, both can be used), it sits comfortably, and it weighs little. It aids rather than interferes. - There is a remote control that has three functions: volume control, mute, and a fourth one like pick up/hang up (I don't use it). This remote, which is a disk with four buttons on a cable, ought to be placed next to your hand on the table. Mute on/off, direct fire as convenient, and very useful for calls and conference calls. Additionally, the remote control has an LED that indicates whether the microphone is on or off. - Since USB enables the use of a remote control, it has proven to be more practical than the 3.5 connector. - WIN10, WIN7, and macOS (I have a macbook pro, there are only USB-c holes, therefore through an adapter) were all automatically discovered WHEREVER they were connected. You DO NOT need to download anything; the volume control is functional as soon as the native starts. universal compatibility. I have not yet tried it on Linux. - There is ample cable. The combat bakery is connected to the ears. You may sit back on your chair while still having the bakery nearby and the remote control within reach.

Cons

- Foam earplugs, which I haven't used in five years. The period is not short in theory. The headset's weakest link is this. - Due to its small weight, the remote control moves around the table a little freely rather than lying still. - These are not audio aesthetes' ears. This battle headset is adaptable. There is nothing else to say, but the sound is clear. There are only ear pads; there are no large ear pads. There is no isolation; you can hear everything that is going on inside the room. (For instance, I don't need this and I don't want to sit in a dark room, but you never know who might sneak up.) Actually, I wrote this for completeness and it's all the minor stuff.
