Review: My overall review of this set is positive and I've given a detailed description of how the special chat mix feature works however I did have an issue using them with a USB hub which I have described but I won't score them on this as it is quite an uncommon thing to have. The tl;dr is that chat mix doesn't work with a USB hub. Overall good headset, well thought through, comfortable and visually appealing. The mic is nicely loud even when its stored in the retracted position, extended its actually slightly loud which is unusual for a headset. The signal tones indicate audibly that the device has turned on or off and even indicates things like the device being on but not yet connected to the machine so its easy enough to understand why they aren't playing if that does happen. The chat mix, when working properly is very well done. When I read about these headphones before buying them I found very little info about the chat mix feature so I will explain it in detail here as it really is the reason to buy this headset over similarly priced sets. The headphones function as 3 separate audio devices at the same time (rather than just output and input which would be 2). In the windows sound menus you get 2 output devices, a device for chat and a device for game. The advantage of this is that the headset has a volume dial on the back left ear piece which rolls from (chat) --> (both together) --> (game) and the centre point with both together has a nice click to it to make it easy to get the headset back to that default both position. The normal volume dial is on the right ear piece which works exactly like it does on other headsets with a high to low volume range which affects both outputs the same way. Unfortunately I've had a problem with the chat mix and because it is such an unusual feature it was very difficult to determine this was the problem, hopefully if you have it this will prepare you. The issue I had was that when plugged into a USB hub (which I use to conveniently move all my peripherals between my work laptop and desktop together) the dual audio completely breaks, you can use one or the other but as soon as the system tries to use both at the same time neither of them will work at all and it seems like something has broken until you convince the computer to stop using one and magically it is fixed.

Review: Had these working for a while and just had to put up with the awkwardness of turning it off and on and now they don’t work all together, it just flashes red when off charge, and when it’s charging the light just flashes white for a bit then green and they just don’t connect to my computer, they play an intermittent static sound aswell, support was useless aswell, not going to buy again and I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone else
