I was looking for a wireless headset with microphone and bought regular one. It hurt my ears even without my glasses. I decided to go with gaming headsets. I've tried a few of them both wired and wireless [brands like X!beri@] and had some defect including the mic. After further review, I took my chance on the 600 G2.I decided to go with the 600 G2 because I mainly will be using it for meetings and online conferences. What drew me to these were the comfort, features and lightness in weight, good sound and ease of use in windows 10 to automatically adopt the headset through plug and play.1. The headset is comfortable even with glasses on. However, I've decided to buy the memory foam ones from wicked cushions. The ones on the 700 G2 is what I would prefer but I don't want the bluetooth plus the way the memory foam may easily come out because of how it's installed. I've see a few videos of the weakness and I am a bit rough on headphones. The OEM pads a good but the ones from WC feels plush and pillow soff on your ears.2. The weight, feel and look is very gorgeous. It does feel very premium.3. The headphones are very clear and crisp. Listening to meetings and audio podcasts are a joy. The placement of the volume and mic dials and the subtle recess/protrusion of the power/sound modes buttons are right where they are supposed to be and the operation seems natural using your left hand. For audiophiles, this is definitely not what you want to use to listen to music. I have the Sony 1000XM3 headphones for reference and these headphones are good (audiophiles = OK.......decent enough) for listening to casual music without going through the hassle of switching to another headphone. Subjectively, I'd say that the headset is about 50% comparable to my Sony headphones but they good with just enough bass and clarity to not let you pass an hour before your next online meeting. And yes, I love bass (minimal) and it's does have some oomph using the sound modes that you can pretty much use without switching to a high end one for what it is worth. Don't expect an audiophile sound with these for listening to pure music.4. Without reading the user manual, connecting this to a windows 10 pc was plug and play. With the headset on, plug in the wireless transceiver, the computer recognizes and install all the drivers needed and that's it. It defaults the the wireless headset and I had to change it since that was not the preference I wanted.5. Another thing that really drew me to buy this headset is the mic and how it's integrated into the headset. Up/folded in = off, midway=mute and down=fully on. You also hear the different tones for the different mic positions. The sound modes, volume and mic controls are also integrated nicely as well and it also looks completely sturdy and cool and I really like it.6. While it is made in China (like everything else), it has excellent support in ENGLISH. I downloaded the Turtle Beach software and mine said it was up to date on the software.7. These operate more like in transparency mode when you talk (mic on). When the mic is off, it appears to block out some of the external noise. This headset, particularly the mic does not appear to have external noise reduction so keep that in mind. I use Teams for meetings which have a noise suppression built in so this headset works for me.
