I bought these day one and returned day two, due to crackling noises while talking. They have since fixed the issue and they work quite well now.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'd consider myself having a large head, with a little over average ears, but these cups are small. I thought it was a joke when I opened the box as they look like they are made for small children! The sound is great and the options are nice, but they are very cheap parts as well. They spent their whole budget on speakers, then tossed together some plastic so it holds together. Turtlebeach has dropped in nice quality products for Xbox One. Not the best pic best of my dx12's next to xo one...

Game sound isn't great, even after firmware update, and sound doesn't go very loud. Movies/Music on the other hand sound great and have great amount of volume! I'm so excited to see where they go, but currently they need some work.

APC - SurgeArrest 3-Outlet and 6-Outlet Surge Protectors - White
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.

iPhone 6 isn't just bigger — it's better in every way. Larger yet thinner. More powerful, yet power efficient. It's a new generation of iPhone.
 

Deal of $150 gift card with new 2 year contract - does that include existing verizon customers who are no longer under contract?

No. I asked today both at Best Buy and Verizon 611. This offer is strictly for New "never been with verizon" customers.

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.

How is this powered?

Battery, direct to system/outlet or rechargeable
The controller batteries are what feed the headset, which does deplete battery life a little quicker..

Can you hear yourself through the headset?

When you speak into the chat mic, can you hear yourself through the speakers?
There is the use of the mute button, which if held down, gives you the ability to hear yourself more or not at all. It's a progressive variable mic monitor, so you can change it to your preference.

will this work with xbox 360 as well?

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.

Does this have a charging cradle?

Or does it have a removable battery?
There is no charging cradle, and the battery is built-in so there is no removal. The charger is just a usb plug-in...
