I can talk but others cannot hear me (this was a gift he has tried and tried and read all the instructions it is ridiculous these were supposed to be an upgrade from his others)

Connectivity is garbage. The headset, while great when it actually works, has trouble connecting to the USB every single time I try to use it. Sometimes takes 15 minutes t connect. It is beyond infuriating

Ease of use: I'm a pretty savvy tech person, but these were hard to get paired. Seemed it didn't let me pair at all (wouldn't show on android or windows Bluetooth pairing menus) until after I connected in the SWARM II app. And the app wouldn't let me connect until I connected to the wifi dongle. I don't know what I would have done if I had wanted to just use these Bluetooth. 30 mins of trying got me nowhere. Once I connected to the wifi to make the app happy, and updated the firmware it pairs fine now. Music Sound: Meh... Little disappointed for the price. The preset defaults are crap. Using the custom EQ in the app I got it just "OK". I have a pair of cheap wireless gaming headphones I tried first (mic sucked on those so I'm trying these) and out of the box with no custom settings available they sound better than these on music. I'm a little bit of an audiophile so I'm picky. These are "thin". All the sounds are there, but the sound has no body to it. My cheap ear buds and cheap gaming headset overall sound more balanced and full. It's not BAD once you tweak the EQ, but I wouldn't choose them for music if I had other choice costing $70 less. Function and fit: As most online reviews will tell you; these are tight. They are also a little small for my ears. I love how sturdy and well-built they feel, however. These seem like they will last a long time. I love the fold up microphone and how you can mute/unmute by folding it up or folding it down. I also love this type of mic design. I can't stand boom mics being in front of my mouth. I much prefer the cheek side design, so these fit the bill. I've read some find the control layout cluttered and confusing. But I honestly liked it fine. I also prefer the memory foam earpieces. Noise isolation: Like most reviews state, these have little to no noise canceling involving your surroundings. It muffles sound from in front of you fairly well, but sound coming from the side or behind doesn't seem really muffled at all. This can be good or bad depending why you want a headset. I like them this way so I can hear people coming up behind me, and can be aware of what's going on in the house. Normal ambient sounds don't overpower hearing what you're listening to, but if you want to be an deserted island with these on... you won't be. Other thoughts: I don't use these for gaming or listening to music. I use them so people can hear me clearly as I DM an online D%26D game. I prefer open mics and open speakers, but all my players complain they have terrible echo on discord and other audio platforms we've tried. So, I have to have a headset on. If I have to have a headset anyway, I want it to have a good mic. And in the price range this is the best rated mic setup around. With both manual controls and advance in-app controls for my sound and volume. Overall: I gave 4 stars. For my use they are 5 stars, but for $99 most people I think would want better sound in music.

not loud enough but not quite. its alright but i would say there are better one out there. i like the app features but nothing to do other than the EQ settings. The fit is nice just done like how its heavy from the top when i bend down or look down when i drop things. Mic quality is meh.

I like the new design where the head phones are attached attach to the headset. It's more durable than previous models. I like the fact that it has Wireless and Bluetooth modes. Which allow connections to the game systems and the mobile device. Ear cushions are tight and comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have fully charged them and am going on 16 days straight, 2-4 hours of use a day, and still have like 35%. Battery is CRAZY good!! Bought to replace my 700's and they sound just as good, just a litttllleeeee bit light on the bass tho but not a hude difference, still booms. very comfortable and pretty light weight, ive been able to wear them for 6 hours with very little discomfort

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This headset is exactly as described. It came packaged nicely. i bought thos for my 6 yr old. It is a little pricey for a 6 yr old, but i had been advised that it would last better than others so it could grow with him. It connected very easy to his Xbox S series and qorks great. The volume buttons for sound om yhe game and voice while chatting are really great. It fit him perfectly and can be adjusted for an adult also. Soft ear coverings and the microphone comes to his cheek perfectly to talk. We love this headset and would definitely recommend!

Bought these in late October (it's early December) I haven't charged the headset and the battery hasn't died yet. I play an average of 4hours per day. I don't chat just use them for the noise reduction around me and a personal option so people around me can't hear my game, out of respect of everyone else.

Very good and has very good sound quality. Totally work the money. You can also connect it to your phone and jam out.

I love everything about it the only thing I had an issue with was it randomly disconnecting I found if you have the transmitter plugged into the back it overheats so I moved it to the front on my controller charging dock and had no issues since
