I love this headphones. I’ve used them daily for almost a year in my remote work. Its been great for meetings and calls, it does not completely block external sound but just enough to not get distracted. Also the over-the-ear is perfect for me so its comfortable for when meeting go over the hour and the mic is also works great, it has flexibility so you can fix distance from mouth. For music purposes quality is great too. It should be perfect for gaming as well.

The sound quality on these headphones is just crazy for the price. Microphone quality is excellent too! We use them for gaming and have absolutely no issues. We've been using them daily for months, almost a year I think and there's been non degradation in sound quality or build quality! I'd recommend these if you like over-ear headphones and don't mind not being able to hear stuff around you. These guys do an excellent job of noise deafening.

Excellent Headphones, worth the 60$ retail price, I was pleasantly surprised they were for sale for 40$. The Mic quality and audio quality are excellent. Unlike other gaming headphones, these completely envelope your ear so that the headphones are not resting on your ears but your head which makes them very comfortable, the 50mm drivers are amazing, I have never heard explosions like I have with these headphones, and by far the most comfortable. 3D and Surround audio are automatically applied to these headphones via Playstation and Xbox native 3D technology. I would have paid 100$ for these headphones
