after a whole week of checking. the bass is so weak. It's like they rely on vibration to simulate bass. The vibration helps a little to get a sense of what's happening on the page, but at lower volumes the sounds are mostly useless as it takes so much noise to set off the vibration. then the vibration was even worse. . several times, for no reason, it vibrated very strongly and completely distorted the sounds, literally turning into a buzz instead of vibration. also on both sides. So it doesn't look like any page is overloaded or anything like that. Voices are clear as bells. just with everything else it's not great. They also do a poor job of noise reduction. I can use them as speakers as the sound from the headset goes far. Not to mention the background noise it can't block. Looks like the cups are made for a specific head shape (not mine lol). I have a few Turtle Beach Scouts from the 70's that work a little better. They just don't have all the features they have. Looks like I'm back with them.
