I recently received a set of X95 Headphones from Plantronics. This will be a quick review of what my thoughts of them are.
After un-boxing and setting up the headset (which was fairly simple), I played some games of COD and Halo to test the sound/voice quality. The mic was much better quality then the normal Xbox one, and the sound was on par with what i would call the "average gaming headset". Overall the sound and mic quality was much better then what i expecting for a headset in this price range. You can buy this headset from
EB Games for $99, But If you shop around you can buy this headset for around $80 which is a very reasonable price for a headset like this.
Features:
A closed-ear design with 40 mm speakers
Tuck away and adjustable microphone
Specially designed earpods and headband
Adjust the volume using convenient on-ear controls
Connect easily to your Xbox 360® and TV
Pros: Good bang for your buck with great sound quality at a low price, And even though it is wireless the sound is very clear and crisp. I also noticed it was very comfortable even for long hours of gaming.
Cons: Its not complete wireless when used on the Xbox360, you still have the cable going from your headset to the bottom of the controller.
Overall Rating: 7.5/10
