I bought this cable to use with my Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter as the included cable connector produced a terrible echo when using my Astro A50 headset. This one plugs directly into the headset and headset adapter and everybody says my voice comes across much clearer and with zero echo. Only thing I do notice however is that the part that plugs into the A50 fits a little snugly and requires you to push a little to ensure its plugged in all the way. Still does not detract from how much better the headset works now.
I would recommend this to a friend!

When you're immersed in gameplay, sound is important, and this Ear Force Atlas Official Gaming Headset brings the soundscape of Titanfall to life in stunning, dynamic detail.Designed for Xbox One and compatible with Xbox 360 and Windows, this headset works with every version of Titanfall, so you can envelop yourself in the electrifying audio of your favorite game thanks to the full-range 50mm speakers. Add depth and punch to your game's audio with built-in Bass Boost. Adjust the game and chat volumes until you achieve a mix that suits your preferences, and easily mute the microphone when you don't want to be heard. Stay in clear vocal contact with your fellow pilots with the high-quality removable microphone and use the microphone monitor feature, which lets you hear your own voice in the headset to help you avoid shouting. Game in total comfort thanks to the twist-cup design that consists of rotatable earcups with breathable mesh cushions, so you can wear the headset around your neck. Take the headset with you for mobile gaming on a compatible cell phone, tablet or other portable device. With this Titanfall Ear Force Atlas Official Gaming Headset, you'll be ready for any action headed your way.

What's not so great: comfort
I already own a pair of Astro A50's but I have tried out the various turtle Beach X1 exclusive headsets so I wanted to give my thoughts on the Atlas. First off is that the Atlas is the most versatile offering as it can also be used on the 360 where the XO Four & XO Seven cannot. The Atlas looks very nice however it essentially is the XO Four at a higher price point. They are the same headset however the XO Four has a little more padding on the top of the headset so to me it is a better value if you do not need the headset to work on the 360 as well. Sound wise the Atlas does quite well as everything sounds crisp and voice chat is crystal clear. Similar to the XO Four, I found the Atlas very uncomfortable as it clamps onto your head very tightly. Granted they may loosen up over time but I personally would spend the extra cash and get the XO Sevens as they are more comfortable and sound better than either the XO Four or Atlas.

What's not so great: stereo only
I bought the XO Seven headset the first day it released so I have had about 2 months with it now. It is a very nice headset for the price but I also own Astro A50's and there is a noticeable difference between the two. First off, the Turtle Beach's are excellent and I would be more than satisfied with them if I had never bought the Astro's and experienced surround sound. The XO Sevens work great and really enhance your overall gaming experience. I like the build and the leather/pleather memory foam ear cushions. They are the one thing besides price point that I wish my Astro's had. I have played some 6-8hr gaming sessions and really do not notice them draining my controller battery too much. The braided breakaway cord is a nice touch. My only issue with them would be the lack of surround sound but if you have never used a headset with surround then you'll most likely be completely satisfied with the XO 7.

I will begin my review by saying this headset is an incredible value at its price point. There are definitely better headsets available but you will pay much more for them. The Golds are super easy to setup which is very nice. Plug the usb dongle into your PS4 and turn the headset on and your good to go. Also remember to go into audio settings and run all audio thru the headset. Download the free companion app from the PSN Store and you get custom settings and genre specific settings that work with the headset. I use the shooter download with my FPS games mostly but downloaded the Infamous one for when I play that game. The headset is very comfortable as I wore it for about 4hrs initially with no issues. Some people may not like the leatherette ear cushions as they tend to warm your ears. I really have never had a problem with that type of ear cushion myself. There are a few negatives however which were not enough to make me rate them any lower. First off is that the included charging cable is only 1ft long which is pretty bad. If you want to charge them while playing you will need to purchase a longer cable or simply use the one that charges your controller. Second issue is that the mic works as it should but you will sound a little muddy. The reason is because of the mic itself being on the earpiece and not a boom mic like other manufacturers use. For simple chatting with friends during games they will suffice though.

I have tried various wired and wireless headsets and own a few pair from the usual players Turtle Beach and Astro. Had extra reward zone points soI decided to pick up this Skullcandy model. Played about four hours with them already and pleasantly surprised by them. They are very easy to setup and sound amazing. They actually take the best of both Turtle Beach (the mids and highs) and the best of Astro (lows ) and combine for a great sounding headset. There are 3 eq settings on the headset and I currently have been using bass mode setting #1 but I also like the specialized setting #2. I had no problems with the comfort when wearing the headset for the time I played which is always an important aspect when I buy a headset. The voice chat is crystal clear as I was talking to my friends and they even commented that my voice sounded clearer before I told them I had bought a new headset. Overall I highly recommend this headset if you want a wireless surround sound unit for less than $200.

In the past year I have went through roughly 6 different headsets trying to find the right one for me and have it now with the A40. I started with the Turtle Beach X12 as I never thought of using a headset other than the standard MS one for chat and then using my surround system. After realizing how gaming headsets bring out sounds I never heard with my surround sound I decided to look for actual surround sound models. Went with Astro A50s which were incredible except they had a defect in that they would not charge properly. Tried Turtle Beach Tangos which were also wireless and they were decent except for their fit. Even at the smallest setting they slipped all over my head. Back they went in favor of the Turtle Beach XP Seven models which were great with one exception. They were very uncomfortable. Too tight out of the box and no matter what I tried they just wouldnt give in and get better. Onto the Turtle Beach XP 400 series which is actually a really nice set other than they also moved around on my head too much. Not sure what it is with Turtle Beach but they need to make their headsets adjust to smaller sized people as I have seen others have the same issue with their headsets. If Ixam shelling out over $200 for a headsetcI want something comfortable. Which brings me to the Astro A40 which despite others having problems with them are perfect to me. The comfort of the A40s and even A50s is something Turtle Beach needs to copy. Right out of the box they are super comfy and can be worn for hours. Sound quality is superb in my opinion. While I liked the various Turtle Beach models I had, the A40s just have a better overall sound to me. More natural sounding if that makes sense. Astro definitely handles bass better than Turtle Beach as when you throw a grenade in Black Ops II for example you get a satisfying explosion that is just deeper and more realistic than the TBs. I can pick up sound direction with no problem. I know if you go to Astros official website you will find threads about people having problems with the A40s. My best recommendation is two things. First buy them from Best Buy along with the two year protection plan. That way if anything does happen you can return with zero hassle. Second, buy an better micro usb-usb cable right away if you dont have one at home. The one supplied by Astro is super thin and does not adequately supply enough power to the mixamp. You could order a thicker version straight from Astro but that is upto you. I simply bought a Energizer PS3 charge cable which is the same thing yet it is about three times thicker than the cable supplied in the box by Astro and eliminates the dreaded power drop issue others seem to be having.

These are about the fourth different gaming headset I have owned but probably my overall favorite based on performance and value. I started with the Turtle Beach X12 model which still works but moved on as I wanted surround set. Tried both the Astro A40s and A50s but had to return due to both sets being defective for different reasons. Was looking at the new Turtle Beach XP510s but after reading a few lackluster threads on TBs official site I decided on the XP400s which I have heard nothing bad about. Now I understand why as the headset is just a solid overall performer. Very easy to setup and very comfortable. I have easily gotten more than the 15hrs advertised use of them per charge. While there are other headsets available that offer more sound customization I feel the eq settings on the XP400 more than do the trick. I use setting #4 which boosts both bass and treble and hear everything perfectly. I can pick up footstep direction precisely yet still hear the boom of a grenade explosion in CoD BF3. Only reason I did not mark then as excellent for sound quality is that the Astros do seem to handle low bass better. Still I would take my XP400s over them anyday though.

This is my second Astro headset as I originally purchased the A50 wireless set but it was not holding its charge properly so I returned them. Instead of getting another A50, I decided to take the charging out of the equation and get the A40. First off the pic on the website is for the 2011 model but in store they actually have the 2013 model with the new Mixamp Pro. The headset for me is even more comfortable than the A50 and I think its simply because they are lighter. The sound quality however is even better than the A50 which I already thought was outstanding. It may be due to the fact the pack in optical cable with the A40 is much thicker than the pack in for the A50. The Mixamp Pro works great and has one additional eq setting than the A50 though I only use either the pro setting or the core one. Overall I am very pleased with the A40 and highly recommend it to anybody wanting a great wired set.

First let me say that I never thought I would purchase a gaming headset because I have a very nice surround sound system that works well. Had some reward zone certificates lying around and purchased Turtle Beach X12s figuring if I hated them it wasnt alot out of my pocket. Ended up liking them enough that I started looking for a pair with true surround sound and preferrably wireless. Came down to the Turtle Beach Black Ops II Tango headset and the Astro A50. I went with the Astros because I have heard nothing but great things about them. Watch some of the youtube reveiws and you will see what I mean. Upon first opening the box I could already tell they were built nicely and didnt feel cheap. Super easy to hook up to the 360. Thru in Black Ops 2 and was totally blown away. Right away, I could tell the difference in the clarity of sound from my Turtle Beaches. Then started picking up the little details and directional sounds which if anything has made my gaming experience only better. The price on these maybe steep but if you want arguably the best headset on the market look no farther than the Astros.

What's not so great: amount of wires could be a issue for some
I've been gaming since the days of the Atari 2600 and just now decided to purchase a gaming headset. Now I know some will argue that the X-12 is not a true gaming headset due to the lack of surround sound but for my review it serves its purpose. Since I have a rather nice surround system (Onkyo receiver, Klipsch pro speakers and Sub) I never put much thought into buying a headset before but was always curious about them. At $59.99 I figured the X-12s would be fine as an experiment whether or not I actually ended up liking them. After a very simple set-up process I decided to play some Modern Warfare 3 and was immediately impressed. I was actually hearing sounds I wasn't hearing previously or if I was they were much more detailed than ever. Little details like the running generator on Gulch,rustling leaves on Sanctuary,rain drops on certain maps are just a few. Played about 3hrs last night and the headset is very comfortable. I'm incredibly pleased with the purchase and am honestly considering upgrading to a pair with actual surround sound.

I only turned mic monitioring on (its off by default) and made sure the chat volume itself was turned up to a decent volume. I tested using Upload Studio, party chat and Fireteam chat on Destiny and got no complaints.

can this be used with an older television
is it both plug in and wireless
The X12 headset is definitely a wired product. Would need a better description of the type of audio inputs your tv has to actually tell if the headset will work.
