Transparency/augmented mode is useful in several reviews, but one wireless review strongly criticizes hiss in the mic transparency implementation.

The low-latency dongle is praised for reliable pairing and gaming-focused wireless use.

USB-C/USB use is generally the best-supported mode, unlocking features and better platform behavior, though that dependence limits analog use.

Stability is praised where discussed, with reviewers saying the headset stays positioned securely during movement.

Replaceable ear pads and other parts are praised as value-preserving, repair-friendly features.
