Best bang for your buck
I hesitated a little when purchasing this headset mostly because by looking at the box, I wasn’t sure if they would be worth the $$. There isn’t any in store for hands on feel,l. Anyway.. I can assure you that as far as build quality. These headsets are worth the asking money. The headband is very strong and sturdy but comfortable. The parts that connect the earcups to the headband are metal. The microphone is pretty large and the braided cable feels premium. I’ve worn the earcups for about 2/3 hours per gaming session and my ears never really fatigued. The volume knob on the right ear up is in a convenient location. I like the microphone mute button, but I wish it was a little larger. It has a nice click when pressed though. The microphone has a small red LED light that will let you know if the microphone is muted. Sound quality is good. Not the greatest, some effects are a little “tiny” and unnatural sounding with these ear cups. Don’t know if it’s the headphones fault or the games I play. Bass could be better but Explosions and gunfire sound loud and full. I haven’t had an issue with the microphone, my friends haven’t complained of me sounding too low. My favorite part about these headphones is that they can be used with every console and device I own. They “pair” with a 3.5mm headphone Jack, so I can use them with my Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo switch and PC. No finicky software to download, just plug the em in and go! All in all, I think these are a solid and very good sounding pair of headphones and I would recommend them over other headsets in this price range. If you’re looking at $60/ $70 headphones, spend a little extra and grab these. They are worth it.

Very good quality headset, worth its price
I've had this headset for roughly a month at the time of this writing, and it's been a fantastic headset so far. I got it when it was on sale and I was in dire need of a new headset, but I'd say it's worth the base price regardless. The quality of the microphone is clear and crisp by default. I had to adjust the volume to be a little higher than the default 100%, as my Discord friends said I was a bit quiet, but it's not an issue. The sound quality of the headset itself is very nice. I didn't have to adjust the tones or anything, but that's my personal preference. There is a volume slider for the headset volume as well as a mute button for the microphone. The only complaint I have is that when I mute in a call, a small crackle can be heard when muting (for other people and myself), but it's not an issue Very comfortable on my head. The length can be adjusted to your liking, which is helpful. It does look a little small compared to other headsets, but again, it is able to extend to whatever you need. The cord is covered by a cloth material, so it's less susceptible to curling itself up like other wires. Overall, I recommend this headset if you're not looking to spend a whole lot of money on a new one. It's worth its base price, but is also a steal when it goes on sale.

Good but not great headset.
I purchased these headphones in order to have a decent mid range headset. Overall good headset. Excellent mic. Sound stage is acceptable for closed back design. Plugging in via AUX cable leaves it a little wanting in volume and detail but still usable. Using the USB DAC and installing HyperX's Ngenuity software made a huge difference in quality and options. I found that in certain songs and games sound would get distorted. (edm genre or games with explosions). Unsure if this is the headset itself or the software or hardware. I ended up buying the Sound Blaster G6 and it can about handle anything that wonderful device can dish out. Fairly comfortable even with glasses but I feel like my ears got warm after an hour or 2. If you're looking for slightly better soundstage and not worried about crystal clear mic quality go for the Hyper X cloud alpha for $10 more.
