On the glasses, the headset exerts a slight pressure. My ears are less fatigued by it now that I've served in the military. However, my wife, who wears glasses, notices this.
Yes, it's tucked away beneath the earpiece.

It all depends on the game you're playing. If you're playing a game like Fortnite, you'll notice an echo.

My son's headset was broken and needed to be replaced. He appears to be pleased with himself. It is, he claims, superior to his previous one. The only problem is that they do a good job of canceling noise, so my child can't hear me tell him to take out the trash!.
There is no mute switch on this headset that I purchased. EDIT: br>br> This mic can be muted, but there isn't a physical switch to do so, which I find annoying. You can, however, mute it, and everything else works fine.
We had this headset for three months when the microphone separated from the base for no apparent reason. We used super glue to hold it together. We made contact with Turtle Beach. They asked for a photograph to be sent to them. I sent them three photos and informed them that the microphone had been reattached to the base using super glue. They decided that the device needed to be replaced under warranty based on the photo. However, they required us to cut the headset's cable and send them a photo to prove that we did so in order to receive a replacement headset. They were the ones who decided the headset needed to be replaced, but they insisted on us going the extra mile to show that we followed their instructions. You do not treat your customers in this manner. They should have sent us a return label if they wanted the device back and could do whatever they wanted with it.
I was hoping to fall in love with this headset. The audio was crystal clear at first, and everything seemed to be in order. However, after two weeks of use, I'm not impressed. The majority of games are compatible with it. However, when playing a game like Warframe or COD with a lot of audio and gunfire, the audio begins to skip a lot. This is the only time when the skip occurs. I have no problems watching Netflix or playing video games. However, if I'm on a mission that requires a lot of noise, it's difficult. And I've already turned off half of the in-game noise, so that's a huge letdown. I'm not sure if I got a bad headset or if it was just a defective unit.
These headphones have left a lasting impression on me. They may not have every single gadget and gizmo you desire, but they do have everything you require: There's no need for an adapter, and there's no need to worry about a battery. You'll hear the same Turtle Beach-style music if you turn up the volume on your mic. There are no complaints about the quality of the performance for the low (and reasonable) price. 👍🏼.
However, it appears that both headphones have a heating element after 15 minutes on your head. The speakers must have an amplifier inside each muff that produces enough heat that wearing them continuously for more than 30 minutes becomes unbearable. It will take 45 minutes. I'd say go for it if you're only going to use them for a few minutes of gaming, but I'd like my money back!.
The microphone works on the Nintendo Switch, but you must change the default settings to make it work.
This was a last-minute purchase to replace my PS4 Gold Series headset. Consider the following: Pros: I prefer the Recon 70's volume control wheel over the PS Gold buttons, and it doesn't require separate charging (it's wired to the controller). The mute microphone performs admirably, and the overall sound quality is excellent. Cons: The sound isn't as good as the PS Gold's dynamic surround sound, and there's no chat volume control, so if your friend's mic volume is low, you won't be able to hear them very well unless you ask them to raise it.
