Xbox One Gaming Headset

So to start off, some reviews, bashing this headset left and right, are a bit ridiculous. I love the Xbox One Gaming Headset. They are super comfortable, the sound is great, and they are very sturdy feeling. They came beautifully packaged and the setup was very easy. Let's start with the cons so we can end on a good note.

Cons

- Run on controller battery. Now for me, I have the energizer rechargeable dock for my controllers, so not burning through batteries is not a problem I have, but it could be for you.

- You must download the update for both the console and the controllers. Once again, not an issue I have, but if you play offline only, you may have issues, but honestly, if you have an Xbox One, an HD TV, and a premium headset, you should probably have it connected to the internet.

- This one is small but can get a bit annoying, the Xbox One Gaming Headset is not completely wireless. They have no wires to the xbox but there is one chord that goes to the controller. I personally don't really care that there is a wire since it'll work better than any bluetooth but it's a bit long.

- Lastly, you can't hear yourself talk. The former headset I had was the X11's and I liked being able to hear myself because then you could tell if it's working properly and how loud you are talking. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future update.

Now for the Pros

- They are very comfortable, there should be no problem playing for hours no on end.

- The sound is pretty good, I still have to mess with the settings to get the best setup.

- The game and chat volume can easily be changed to your preferences on the chatpad.

- The Xbox One Gaming Headset adapter is included, which means if you have another headset that you enjoy, you can now use them in the console without buying another adapter.

- The packaging was amazing. It was like opening a gift on Christmas. Just wow. Also, good instructions for how to set up if new to the headset field.

- The wire to the controller is a breakaway so if anyone/you knocks the controller down, your headphones will stay safely on your head.
