  • You want to hear your own voice through headphones while you play.
  • You want a wearable microphone rather than a separate desk stand or arm.

Before choosing this model

  • The Xbox and PlayStation editions aren't interchangeable: buy the one for your console to use it wirelessly there.
  • Buy the edition made for your console: another edition's dongle may not connect to it.
  • No stand or arm needed: the mic is on the headset.
  • Also needed: the Xbox or PlayStation edition that matches your console.
