![]() My chat experience on the AG 7 was much better since PDP decided to reintroduce the boom microphone, absent in a few of their previous headsets. For the price, I question whether there really is a better headset. The sound is very crisp – this headset has the 50mm Neodymium drivers found in most of PDPs headsets now – and I have NEVER heard any distortions or any chat drops. A USB dongle plugs into one of the USB ports on your Xbox One to wirelessly transmit both your game and chat audio. The Afterglow AG 7 uses the same technology found in PDP`s other wireless headsets. ![]() With up to 100 feet of range, I can walk around my house wearing my AG 7 headset, never having to worry about connections to my controller. In a house with kids who need attending to, and a beer fridge that is in another room, I’ve always had to either carry my controller and connected headset with me, or take off the headset. Before now, I actually have been using the Afterglow Nur PS4 headset – our review of that product here – but connection issues trying to get it to work on my Xbox One and microphone issues have made me go back to my wired Karga headset. This is PDP`s second headset on Xbox One – our review of the the Afterglow Karga is here – but first completely wireless one. In an age of wireless everything, why Microsoft ever thought it was a good idea to sell an adapter for the controller that people could plug their headsets into boggles my mind. The way Microsoft designed headsets to work on their Xbox One was terrible. In my personal opinion, the glow on the After GLOW products is a nice idea, but an unnecessary battery drainer. The green glow – to represent Xbox I assume – is present, but like past headsets, there is an option to turn this off. Everything you come to expect from an Afterglow product is here: controls to adjust game audio and chat audio, auxiliary jack so you can connect to a mobile device, a large button on the cup to turn the headset on and off, and a mode button near the microphone to swap between two audio settings, bass boost and pure audio. By using a repetitive design with minor tweaks, PDP have definitely created some brand awareness. It`s probably a marketing tool: if you have ever owned an Afterglow headset, you can point one out from a mile away. Each headset looks strikingly similar to the last. The classic Afterglow look is probably here to stay if I`m going to gripe about Afterglow products, it would probably be the look of the product. With an MSRP of 99.99, I can definitely say that you will not be disappointed if you choose this headset. One product that has yet to launch in Canada or the United States is the Afterglow AG 7 Wireless Xbox One Headset. There products line the shelves of retailers around the country, and cover everything from Wii U to Xbox One and 360 to PS3 and PS4.
