  • I’m not trying to complain, but I have these as well and also agree for the price i paid I feel like it wasn’t worth it from the audio quality side. Don’t get me wrong, they sound good enough, but for the price I was let down. I love the battery swap, and I love being able to use Bluetooth with my phone while also in game chat and game sound all at once.

    I have had them for about 3 years now and wish I could a few more years out of them, but my kids got to them a few times and basically destroyed the clip on the left headphone so it just moves around on its own and people keep telling me my mic is in and out and choppy all the time. Not the products fault, but if I do go higher end price again I will probably pass on these and try someone else.

    With that said, I also purchased their keyboard and a mouse from them. Keyboard also feels overpriced but I’ve had it about 4 years and is solid and going strong with zero issues. The mouse is by far my favorite purchase from them. It’s the only one I felt was worth the price and is super light but feels great in your hand. I love the mesh shell and never a huge fan of lights, but it is a nice touch here. Bluetooth and 2.4g options make it perfect for any scenario, but I keep it wired if I am home due to the lower than expected battery life, which would be my only complaint. It lasts just under a week with full work hours usage.




  • I am lucky enough to have never had a cell phone bill to this day. I got my first real job in 2006, and before that, I lived with my parents and just used their flip phone when going out. I will say I was a little late, but for the most part nobody in my generation used cell phones except to actually get in touch with someone and that’s it. Once at my job, I was handed a phone and number to use through the company. Since I was in IT, we basically controlled the phones and didn’t care if it was used personally. I am still with the same company today, but there have been changes and got scary so now I just purchased an android phone, signed up for Google voice to give myself a free number and use wifi for everything else. When I leave the house I have the company phone turn on Hotspot and my personal connects to it, so it’s basically like having everything a provider offers without a bill.

    The single issue I have is that some services do not consider Google voice number a legit line so I can’t use the number for sign-ups or mfa on like 15% of the accounts I use. Apple, and battle.net are 2 off the top of my head.
