" ... I actually love this headset I’ve been using it for over a year and can tell ya it’s really dope the quality and comfort on my ears are top tier ... "
" ... Comfort: The earmuffs are comfortable but they are made of this fabric that can take a little getting used to. ... I prefer faux leather type material used in other headsets, but the cushion is nice. ... Also the headset it lighter than it looks. ...

" ... Purchased for my 10yo son for Christmas. ... He loves how loud they can get (not my favorite part haha) & that he has better sound & a better mic than his friends/gaming buddies. ... "
" ... - Easy access to mute by the button on the back or my simply putting the mic in the "up" position. ... This was, at least to me, non-obvious after reading the directions. ... "
" ... I play a lot of World of Warcraft and was tired of having to swap from my speakers to headset every time I was going to get on discord. ... They were super easy to plug in and go, and despite working from home and using these all day + then using them to game at night, I have never had them run out of battery (I charge them while I sleep). ... The volume controls on the ear are super simple and intuitive, and I love that it mutes when you move the mic up. ... "
" ... Otherwise, this is a decent gaming headset with some minor inconveniences ... "
" ... Replaced my razor manowar, and love them. ... "
" ... Easy to use, easy to switch to another computer or program. ... Easy to set up. ... "
" ... I've been using the same old worn out Turtle Beach PX22 for the last four years or so and felt it was time for an upgrade. ... It's easy to install on PC and console and it sounds wonderful. ... "
" ... The battery lasts for my near full day gaming sessions. ... "

" ... Got these to replace a wired pair of logitech that would cut out if micro USB cord was bumped at connection. ... Cons: seems to disconnect and reconnect more than it should. ... "
" ... There is no support for surround sound on Mac or Linux? ... The ONLY thing that impresses me about these headphones are the range of the bluetooth connection. ... That being said, it will sometimes take one or two unplugs of the USB dongle to get the system to register a connection, especially on low battery. ... "
" ... Absolutely infuriating, paired with the G HUB software that logitech hasn't fixed since forcing its implementation makes this the last logitech product i'm going to buy. ... "
" ... Why isn't it Bluetooth? ... "
" ... So I unplugged the USB receiver and plugged it back in and it works properly now. ... "
" ... The Logitech ecosystem is a little bit janky. ... "
" ... The USB for it is only a foot away and not blocked, but it still does the same thing. ... "

" ... I used the product for 4 months and it broke. ... "
" ... I was fine with it despite how plastic and loose it felt until the mic started breaking. ... "
" ... Clamping force is loose. ... "
" ... Overall the headset feels really cheap but perhaps that's the light weight construction. ... "
" ... THE MICROPHONES BREAK OUT OF NOWHERE! ... I was very careful with it again but it broke out of the blue in the exact same way the other one did on September 10th 2020, less than 6 months after buying it. ... I am extremelly disappointed that these microphones break so quickly. ... "
" ... When I have these on my head the adjustable band over the top, connecting the two ear pieces slides in and out freely. ... since the headband offers no resistance to sliding in and out, as one walks around they pull the headband open even further. ... I am really apprehensive about the day they just fall off from poor fitment and their own weight causing their own demise. ... "

I've tried a half-dozen different bluetooth based headsets on Linux (and android phones too) and they all work fine for the hearing portion but the microphone quality is absolutely terrible and it makes having serious business meetings and doing work extremely difficult. ... While the high quality bluetooth ones do work decently well, it is nothing at all compared to these headsets which work out of the box like magic (Linux Mint 20) where as the bluetooth ones do take a little bit of magic to get it working correctly and zoom/teams sometimes have to be manually toggled to use the bluetooth devices where as with this one it always switches over perfectly. ...

" ... Not only are they Bluetooth so you don’t have to be wired but there’s no loss in audio, I can go all the way to the kitchen downstairs and not lose connection, the build quality is awesome, the cups are soft and don’t irritate you during longer sessions and the flip to mute and adjustable boom mic is a god send or it’s really really nice and I love it lol all in all I have no complaints. ...
