Pros
Pro Intuitive and convenient charging system
The X800 comes with a spare battery pack in addition to the one already provided. The spare battery can be charged independently in the base station, so you can use the headset while the other battery pack charges. Swapping from one battery to another is also quick and easy to do.
Pro Very good battery life
It takes 20 hours of playback before a fully charged battery is drained. This is significantly longer than most wireless headsets.
Pro Rich and lively sound
These headphones have a fun sound signature. The highs are slightly boosted, which helps make the audio sound very airy. The enhanced bass makes explosions quite powerful and immersive. The mids, while not forward, are present and give body to the audio.
Pro Wireless connection is fast and stable
The range and stability of the wireless connection is very good. The signal remains stable with clear audio even if the headset is more than 30 feet away from the transmitter. There is also no noticeable delay between what is happening on screen and when you hear the audio.
Pro Boom mic is easy to position
The microphone is flexible and can easily be bent or angled as preferred. If not in use, the mic can be pushed into the ear cup so it won’t get in the way.
Pro Good passive noise isolation
The ear cups feature a closed design which blocks outside noise. People near you won't hear the in-game audio while you're wearing these.
Pro Compatible with other gaming platforms
This is versatile gaming headset works with PCs, PS4s and a host of other devices.
Cons
Con Subpar mic volume
While the voice quality from the mic is great, the volume is rather weak. This can make it a little more difficult for teammates to hear your voice input.
Con Requires controller adapter to use voice functionality on the Xbox One
For voice chat, you'll need to connect the Xbox One controller adapter to the controller, then connect the headset to a 3.5mm port in the controller. This means you won't get a true wireless experience unless you forego voice chat.
