HC-X1 Xbox One Headset - Black & Green
EAN's:
May need an adapter
3 Stars Only because:- I bought this headset as a replacement. It was to use with the original Xbox One controller, unfortunately the connection is different and so an adapter is required, which obviously adds to the price. Not a problem but a “need to know”, ideally before you take it home and have to then purchase the adapter before you can use it. Or alternatively purchase the new controller (as I did) because couldn’t get an adapter anywhere. But the sound is good, I can’t fault it.

It works but it’s very uncomfortable
I’ve had a lot of head sets before, these being serious cheap as they are I wasn’t meant expecting much, the sound quality and mic is extremely good for what it is, my issues lay with the Comfit aspect, the position of the cups make the product unfit for hours of use making my ears go red, there’s also nothing in between far to tight or far to loose so you’re left with them ether dragging on your ears or being so tight across your head it gives you a head ache, would not recommend

Only works with an adapter !!!!
Wouldn’t it be nice if the consumer was clear about this product!!! I purchased this for my son who has an Xbox one which is connected to his pc. This mic on the headset will not work without the split adapter which u need to purchase separately. We only worked it out by watching a YouTube video. The mic itself is not flexible but the headset seems quite comfortable. Will probably have to return it. Had I known before hand I would not have purchased it.

Great price & quality
Purchased for my Son to used with Xbox one wireless controller can not fault these for the price better than his more expensive ones that broke. He said they are really comfortable didn’t work 1st time but realised they have a sound and mute on the wire so just need to make sure they are in the right setting per instructions 2 friends have purchased them since through my recommendation

Is not compatible with Xbox one
I brought this for my Xbox one while on sale, when plugged it I can hear though the headphones but the Xbox does not register the mic, leaving me unable to talk to people. If you are looking to buy this to talk talk on Xbox love I recommend you don’t as you won’t be able too. The design sometimes aches my ears. It it holds on well to head and the ear parts are padded well

Good quality
My 12 year old goes through so many headsets, he has Autism and manages to break them, he is happy with this one, he was moaning about a buzzing sound, but when I looked there is 2 dials for the volume and I adjusted it for him as he had one turned right up and the other he jadnt seen was in minus, hes well chuffed with it, great value for money.

Perfect for a young gamer
Quick list of pros and cons Pros, Decent sound quality. Good comfort. Wide range of sizes for different heads. Look ok. Cons, Feel quite flimsy. Microphone will stop working at some stage that's a definite. Microphone plug doesn't fit tight For the price can't complain they ain't no astro's but they will work well for his needs.

Works fine, good for it’s pricerange
Headset works well but for me the ear pieces are a bit too small.. I don’t think I have ginormous ears but after warring these more than half an hour my ears feel squashed and uncomfortable. As it is one of the cheaper options with headsets I wasn’t expecting perfection so if you want a good headset for reasonable price this is fine.

Meh
For the same price as the official xbox chat headset you get this... Low build quality.. Highly noticable on the audio adjust on the cable. Low volume.. General disappointed in this compared to the chat headset which in my opinion is world's ahead in quality. Wish I got a xbox chat heatset instead.

Nice headset
I got this as a bolt on deal in the Christmas sale. I bought this for my son for Christmas as he broken his last one. He has been using this now for well over a week now and he keeps telling me how good the headset is but tells me it gets abit loud. I just had to adjust the volume setting on his xbox.

Poor quality. Returned instantly.
I returned this product very quickly after buying. The microphone produced feedback noise and made my speech basically inaudible to my party, hence it was unusable. Additionally the wire to connect the headphones to the controller felt poor quality. Would not buy this brand again.

The head phones were amazing
They looked alright but for the price worthy were amazing, the sound quality was really good and the microphone worked really well, putting it together is the only thing that is wrong with it as it was stiff to get the microphone in but other Thant that i couldn’t fault them.

Good for the price
My kids go through head sets quickly, they are usually flimsy and break. This set is more sturdy and comfy. The only bit we don’t like is the cheap on/off button, bit fiddly and lets them down. Overall though the Best Buy we’ve found in this price range.

Bought as a gift
I bought this for my son to replace a more expensive headset with a broken mic. My son asked for this model as he had used one before and he is very happy with it. It seems sturdy enough and he doesn't seem to shout as loudly when he is using this one.

Christmas present
Brilliant little set. Lovely fit around the ears. Nice padding too. Lead is a good length. My 8 year old loves these. The mic is cool, you can take it out when not needed. Can adjust speaker volume too. Nice design.. perfect for gamers. Highly recommended

Good for the price you pay
The headset is brilliant for a basic gamer who wants to talk to friends online. Although when you have the game volume up as well as party chat volume it is very hard to hear your friends talking but other than that it is a brilliant headset.

Good value for money
Good headset with good quality sound.can become uncomfortable after a couple of hourd.only downside is there's no way to separately control chat and game volume.not s major issue and definitely a better headset than most at 3 times the price

Not a comfortable wear
Bought these obviously for my Xbox one got gaming. They are quit right on my head. The angle of the mic is odd and I have to wear the headset at an angle to be heard. For the money you’d be better off with an Xbox basic headset.

I had this headset 2 weeks and it no longer works
Bought this 2 weeks ago and the top has already snapped and the audio was lagging with it. I took it back in today with the receipt and they said they couldn't do anything. It was okay for the 2 weeks it actually worked for though.

Looks fab
Fantastic for the price, although the Mic detaches and the sound does cut in and out, would of been better fixed.. But I believe it is removed for using as a standard headset for phones etc.. For the money the quality is amazing!

Does the job nicely
Bought for my son to play multiplayer with his friends on xbox. Does the job nicely and very comfy after hours of continuous play. Sometimes can hear himself speak but I think that maybe to do with our system and not the headset

Decent headphones but not for playing fortnite on
Bought for playing fortnite on switch but most of the time the Mic doesn't work. I don't know if this is a headphone problem or a cross platform issue; though others when searching online dont appear to have this problem?

Great Starter Gaming Headphones
For the beginning gamer. I purchased these for my son and he thinks they are pretty good. He also does quite a bit of he vlogging which does the trick. Later on we'll purchase some more expensive ones.

Great value headset
This was a replacement for a more expensive headset and to be honest my son much prefers this one. The sound quality and comfort is good and he hasn't had any issues with the microphone. Very good.
