The screen picture was great and it was fast and responsive, most of the time, along with great additions with gestures for ease of use... The pictures taken with the phone, for the most part, came out great but there were a few that were too dark or blurry. It has a great solid base and I'm sure new updates will help it reach the polished phone it was meant to be from the start.

They are working on updates, as there are a few mission bug which stop you from finishing some of the story. With that said, the map is huge, with what seems like endless missions, along with a great story line and cut scenes...! Overall, I'd say the story is solid and sucks you into this far off world with some intense game play later on in the game. I do admit some missions are far too easy if you like strategy, and co op makes things even easier.... but if you like to just run in rambo style later missions will be a challenge. Things do become more difficult, but more men might make for a better game.

Good concept/poor execution

I've been a die hard COD fan for years, but this seems to drift toward titanfall (pilot movement only) and halo. There is a classic mode where there is less jumping all over the small maps. Maps being small make spawn killing easy/often. Single campaign is a great play with exciting action/acting in cut scenes. The lag issue with unstable servers has been terrible, but constant updates trying to fix. Overall it's a good concept but the execution was very POOR. I gave it 3 stars just because of single player, as Multi player is the bane of my existence.

Can NOT use for anything but XB1

If you are buying this strictly for the XB1, then the sound is above average and mic comes out far enough, like TB or Astros, to be close to your mouth so you don't have to shout to be heard. The MAJOR draw back for me was you can't use for anything other than XB1 as the cord given is soldered to the adapter. I've contacted the manufacturer but have yet to get a response.
Pro: Great sound, good mic sound/length, comfortable, Above average quality compared to most/Feel sturdy (minus ear cups ie cons)
Cons: XB1 use only, Noise gate still picks up back ground noise/no foam piece for breathing/fans, cheap fabric, weak pivoting ear cups

Keep the action going with the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit. Recharge while you play or afterwards, even when your Xbox is in standby. The long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in under 4 hours. Say goodbye to disposable batteries and having to swap them out in the middle of a game.

Protect your electronics from power surges with these APC SurgeArrest P3U3P66 surge protectors, which feature surge-protected outlets and 3 surge-protected USB ports to protect PCs, TVs, mobile devices and more.
 

What is the power output of the USB ports?

What is the maximum amperage available on the 3 USB ports, and what is the output of each port individually?
I believe it was 2.4 amps. It was at least 2.1 amps, as I checked to see if it was enough for fast charger usb charging for cell phones.

will this work with my pc?

i want to know if this will work with the 2 connection port on my computer
If you are asking if it has both a game output cord and a mic cord (usually pink/green), then the answer is no... You can use the headset for sound via your computer but the mic output is built into the same pole/tip for sound. It a 4 pole tip for both left/right and mic.

How sensitive is the microphone for the XO One?

I had a pair of turtle beach x12s for the 360 and the mic was extremely sensitive. It sounded like I was yelling when i was just talking normal. How sensitive is the mic or how loud do others hear you when you talk?
It's about the same, if not more sensitive, but XB1 has volume settings (in the settings app) that you can adjust if you are too loud for friends.

Will this work with Xbox 360

Will this work with xbox 360? Would you suggest it if it does?
This is made particularly for the XB1. The sound comes through the controller, which on the 360 it is only for chat. That aside, even if you could find adapters to use with the 360, it's really not worth the cost imo.

Stereo or Mono?

Is this headset a stereo (sound from both speakers) or just mono? It doesn't state in the description, so I want to make sure before I get them.
These are stereo. They are also listed as surround sound, but it's simulated surround....which almost all headsets are simulated in some way.

i am going to be upgrading to an xbox 360 this coming january so would like a headset like this that will work with both. thank you!
This may work with the Xbox 360 as the hub works with an optic audio in, but the 360 also had built-in amplifiers to increase sound. So even though it may plug in, it may not be loud enough to play.
