PowerA Chat Headset for Xbox One

Got it for my husbands grandma because her grandkids constantly break hers and she loves playing texas chainsaw massacre this was super cheap in case they break it and good quality for the price it gets the job done so she can talk with others

I bought this because it hit the price point I wanted -- low (about $11). I had low expectations, and it's exceeded them. The sound quality for the remote person is better than the (also budget-oriented) $40 wireless gaming headphones that I bought. A note for those of you on the PC -- this will NOT work if you have your xbox controller connected via Bluetooth! You *must* either connect it via USB or via the Xbox One Controller Wireless Adapter for Windows 10. This is not the fault of the headset manufacturer, but instead a limit of the xBox controller.The controls are simple and give you what you need -- volume for the speaker, microphone mute, and nothing else. If you want to change mic gain, you need to do it through your console and/or PC. The microphone swings through a complete ~220 degree arc, so you can flip this between your left and right ear.Is this a premium headset? Certainly not. Does it have the best sound quality of all the headsets? Not even that. Does it provide a good experience at a low price? Absolutely. I do recommend it (unless cost isn't a big deal for you -- then go upmarket).

The mix works, there are controls, which includes a mute button and a volume knob. The audio quality isn’t perfect, however I just turn off game audio and only keep voice chat audio for the headphones. The mic sound is great according to my friends. My only gripe is that it’s not very comfortable, however it’s not expensive at all. Definitely worth purchasing if you don’t have much money. 👍

This is a wired headset and reminds me of a call center or receptionist style set up. It’s comfortable with a little adjustments. My kid complains about hurting on the right hand side where it has contact over the open ear. You may want to put a sponge or something soft for more comfort. As an adult I didn’t notice that but also not wearing it for long periods of time. The mic is good and hearing is clear and no static. The I like that this has one ear free so my kid can actually hear me. Still get the what or huh of they are playing a game, but much easier.Pros- price & mic/hearing quality, wired not as easy to loseCons- wired less movement like wireless, comfort for some on open ear sideWould recommend if your kid doesn’t take care of things.

This is a pretty good mic for the money. Okay first off I have a pretty big head and this fits like a glove, the microphone sticks out last your face so it doesn't rub, it is relatively comfortable I have used mine for an hour or two without discomfort. Next the sound is good just good, has a volume control which is very nice, the ps4 has a volume control as well so if you play with them both you can get some good sound when chatting. Okay now my few dislikes are the earphone rests on your ear hole which for me personally messes with my ear so I personally have to take the earphone and rest it just behind for a few, next is the mic output is okay but not great I haven't had anyone say it sucks so there's a plus (here my voice after recording ps4 message in replay) it isn't terrible and is why I didn't send it back like I did two others, lastly and my final complaint is it seems kinda flimsy, I am an adult and take care of my stuff but a kid or teen using this and how they treat things if your kid and teen were like me would probably break this easy, big probably though so take care. My final verdict is that if you are strapped for cash but need decent mic buy this one, it is also officially licenced by PlayStation itself so you know it is at least half way reliable, I am enjoying mine. I have a flat screen t.v. so I just hang mine off the corner of the t.v.. Just making note of that that you can do that. ✌

I bought this headset because I like the very simple, one ear headsets when I game. The technology on this particular headset seems to conflict with the audio settings on the Series X. When connecting the headset to the controller, it automatically sends ALL game audio both to your TV speakers, AND to your headset. There is no fix for this problem. The Console is supposed to auto detect that this is a one speaker mic, and not send game audio to it. If the console has an issue or malfunction detecting what headset it is, then it will just auto divert to sending all audio to it, and there is no fix for that problem.To attempt a fix, I actually plugged in an old PS4 mic to it, which worked way better than this one. When I unplugged the PS4 headset and plugged this one back in, it worked fine for only 1 session, then reverted back to its same behavior. I restarted my console only to find that this time is literally MUTED all audio until I plugged the mic in, then would play from both my speakers and headset simultaneously.Long story short, these are WAY too many audio issues that have no fix for this to be a viable headset with current gen consoles. Xbox One I am sure it works way better, but it is not a headset that functions correctly.

I like sound of the game through the TV, and chat separately in my ear. Been using these for years. They can break if ur rough on the cord but so can expensive ones. Great for what I need it for. Mostly plating Cod multi-player. Ppl hear me fine, no echo on xbox
