PowerA Chat Headset for Xbox One

I haven’t played games as much as I did as a kid. But it seems like every year the cord for the mic somehow ends up breaking. Iv had this headset for a while now and it hasn’t broke yet, although like I said I don’t play as often as I did years ago.

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).

compatible with PS5

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. 👍

Issues with loss of mix randomly.

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

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.

Despite a lot of gamers hating the design it actually fits pretty comfy but the packaging forces it to have the mic backwards. Flip it to the other side and it will fit well. Been using these for about 4 years and by far one of the better ones. I tend to game for hours on end and don’t use my mic for sound just game chat and parties and as long as I situate it in the right spot it doesn’t cause that ear pain or headaches like most other mics. I wear glasses so if you do too this is a good mic. Don’t buy into the fake ads of the super expensive headsets trust me they suck
