What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—comfort & weight during extended wear—directly echoes critic block 5's note that cushioning is minimal and the headset is significantly heavier than competitors.
In their words
“Very happy with these new Xbox headphones. Immersion is stand out feature. First game I played with them probably got my best result on COD ever. I could hear foot steps and movement around like never before. Yes, they've heavier than regular headsets but that wasn't a problem. Battery life is very strong with a claimed 80 hours.”

“Chất lượng sản phẩm:tốt Tính năng nổi bật:âm thanh tốt và pin trâu Nghe nhạc chơi game đều rất tốt k có gì để chê, thời lượng pin trâu ghê dù mìn tháo ra để nguyên k tắt. Cả tuần luôn ấy. Điểm trừ là da và dày nặng nên đeo lâu hơi bí và nặng đầu. Tái hiện lại âm thanh cực tốt luôn. Nhưng giá hơi chát”
