Works very well I use it almost everyday on weekdays for about 3 to 5 hours and on the weekend sometimes up to 12 hours and I only have to recharge them once a week could do with a bass adjustment as I use them for games and music
This review is based on usage with an Xbox Series X via Xbox Wireless Protocol and a PC/Phone via Bluetooth
Pros:
Excellent sound quality
Direct Xbox connection with Wireless Protocol (same as Xbox Controller)
Dual Input via BT&XBWP simultaneously works well
Premium materials
Excellent battery life
Cons:
Can sometimes randomly stutter and turn off, either immediately after turning on or after a period of usage
Cup brackets can snap internally and become flimsy/click, potentially affecting usage while being worn
Ear cups are not too deep, so bigger ears will touch the speaker covers
