The editors didn't like
Construction is kind of on the cheap and flimsy side. The volume sliders for switching between smartphone and gaming mode could be consistent. Audible distortion at higher volumes with the master volume ring
A couple of design issues
Bulky mixer
The Plantronics RIG gaming headset is available on Amazon for less than $90. If you don't mind the design issue mentioned above
This is totally worth the price
Build Quality Could Be Better
Not Really Ment For Hardcore Gamers
Cable
Headband comfort
Microphone placement
Almost too many features
Annoying hiss
Secondary input channel is nothing but a (neat) gimmick
No surround sound
Surround sound effect isn't convincing. Smartphone (and effectively game console) cable is too short. No stereo RCA option for consoles
