Many many reviews noting this same issue.

Seems to be a lot of negative reviews, but for $20 I decided to try my luck

First negative review from me on Amazon

a pos wrote a bad review and then figured it out

I saw some negative reviews but figured at 4 stars the odds were in my favor

Really unhappy with the quality of this given what seemed like a fair amount of positive reviews on here.

I hate writing bad reviews

Not sure how the mic works, will update review when I've had a chance to test it more

This is a high end receivergood audio quality and its durable if you drop iti honestly love this thingDISCLAIMERI did receive this item for free or in a reduced price HOWEVER it did not have an affect on my reviewa bad product will get a deserving bad review

However, other reviews are correct
