Playmax MX1 Universal Console Gaming Headset - Black/Blue

I have had this headset for about a year now. Overall the headset is pretty good for just talking to people eg. Zoom, Skype or Discord. The microphone is passable but a little quiet but does the job well for the price, it has a good range of movement even though it feels like you will snap its arm. The sound quality is obviously not a good as most other headsets but the sound is clear and again, passable. It is however, hard to tell direction with these speakers but from my personal gaming experience I don't need them. I have found this headset uncomfortable after a few hours but I have never really worn them for long periods of time.

Pros:
- Cheap Headset (very nice)
- Light weight (but can make it feel cheap) so it shouldn't hurt your neck
- Very easy setup, plug and play. You may want to go into the sound control panel to boost the mic but I personally haven't needed to

Cons:
- Mic is limited in it's clarity but ok for casual conversation
- The dials on the cord are a pain to use. The on/off switch for the mic is fine but the analogue volume dial can split the speakers and have one side louder than the other
- The top headband does not have a lot of padding
- The cable is quiet short, works well for phones or tablets, however, on my laptop or desktop it is too short and having to use an extension could decrease the sound quality of the speakers and/or microphone

Final comment:
if the Headset is <$50 then it is well worth the money as long as you aren't planning to stream or record anything with these. Very good for casual conversation or light gaming. Not the most comfortable, light and cheap feeling. For what I have found, very durable (I have never thrown or bent them but they have lasted much longer than I expected)

Very nice. Soft on ears and good sound quality with nice bass Very nice. Soft on ears and good sound quality with nice bass

My Kids chew through headsets. So I brought a couple of these being that they are cheap and effective. Sound is pretty good too. My Kids chew through headsets. So I brought a couple of these being that they are cheap and effective. Sound is pretty good too.

I use these with my Xbox One, and they're perfect for what I need. Nothing fancy, good quality, all that's needed for a casual gamer. I use these with my Xbox One, and they're perfect for what I need. Nothing fancy, good quality, all that's needed for a casual gamer.

Bought this for my son as entry level headset on his Xbox one game. He enjoyed talking with friends, the mic is great. His friends keep asking where he got this, amazing mic from their feedback.

Quality is ok, you get what you pay for. Not recommended to glasses wearer. Bought this for my son as entry level headset on his Xbox one game. He enjoyed talking with friends, the mic is great. His friends keep asking where he got this, amazing mic from their feedback.

Very poor sound quality, not comfortable to wear, the cord is way too short, and the microphone didn't work for me. The price seemed too good to be true after all.

Really short cord can't reach the back of my computer. Plug and play ability isn't there as I can't make my pc see that it has a microphone. I hope to fix this with driver updates.

It's a good product and fits all the requirements I have for it. It's a good product and fits all the requirements I have for it.

Very low build and audio quality. You don't expect a lot in this price range, but I've had much better experiences than this. Will be returning them as the right-hand ear is playing much more quietly than the left and I've confirmed it's not a problem with the left/right balance from the source.

Overall, you can do much better for $10-20 more. Very low build and audio quality. You don't expect a lot in this price range, but I've had much better experiences than this.
