In order to properly utilize the headset, I had to adjust the wire so that sound would work on both sides and keep it there with tape

Some sort of faulty wiring is causing the volume level to drop, white noise in the background and the mic no longer picks up anything

However the plastic cord containing the wiring is very cheaply made, and within a year it has deteriorated to the point where the wires are sticking out and there are random popping and static noises

However, one main concern is the tangly wire that just rolls around itself

you can literally jiggle the wire and they will work and then not work

and I was looking for a headset with durable wiring, which this headset seems to have

About a month after purchasing it, the wire messed up

Volume and mic control module on wire works great.

Just recently my wire MUST be placed a certain way or it will not work

I love this gaming headset, only downside about this product is the wires tend to retract and coil itself

The red wire's too thick and screams cheap

Something in the design makes it curl itself up terribly and as a result the wires will fray and break quickly

Bad wires

However, after about 20-30 min of sustained game play on the Xbox One, it begins to produce a crackle like a loose wire that progressively gets louder

I think its terrible compared to others that i have owned such as major popular brand names, wired, wireless, etc... overall, you can't go wrong with $20 7.1 gaming

The USB wire is solid and connects well though
