The editors didn't like
The mic is very sensitive
So you'll need to be careful not to overpower your listeners.
Very high price point for average gamers
Mics are highly sensitive
Could be a longevity issue to the boom mic jack
Complicated setup
Messy wires
Its pretty expensive.
PC gamers wont mind
But wireless LaZBoy warriors probably dont want to be tethered to their audio system. Add every component up and youve got an expensive setup on your hands.
Pricey
Not exactly fully wireless
Some items sold separately
No direct solution for multiple console connections
