• Poor microphone performance.

KitGuru says: The Delta S Wireless does offer a lot of features on paper. While it is a loud and very comfortable headset, the experience of using it is hindered by very poor software and average microphone performance. If you're looking for the convenience of not having a microphone protruding in front of your face then it may be worth checking out.
