Does it work with a PC that has separate mic and headphone jacks?

It uses one 3.5 mm combined plug, so a PC with separate jacks needs a splitter adapter. Many buyers report the mic does not work without one.

Is the microphone detachable?

Yes. The directional boom mic plugs into the headset and can be removed, and a windshield foam is included.

Does it have noise cancellation?

No active cancellation. It relies on passive isolation from the over-ear cushions, and the fabric pads let in more outside noise than leatherette.

Is it wireless or Bluetooth?

No. It is wired only, over a 3.5 mm jack, with no battery to charge.

Does it work with Xbox and PlayStation?

Yes. The 3.5 mm plug fits Xbox and PlayStation controllers, and it supports Windows Sonic spatial sound on Windows 10 and Xbox One.

Is the cable detachable?

The cable is detachable at the headset end, but it is short at 1.2 m, which limits how far you can sit from the source.
