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.

Comfortable, Clear, and Adjustible
I had just gotten this headset today via online order and I'm really happy with them. ONLY beef I have is that it's not bluetooth, which is what I wanted, but it's able to hook up to my ipad which I like. The adaptor for mobil phone is also the newer version, and I have an Iphone 12 so I'll need to get an adapter of my own, but other than I haven't had any issues. The microphone is crisp and clear, which my friends appreciate when we talk. The headset is also very adjustable and sits well on your head, and so far extremely comfortable. Barely even notice it after a while. I will be ordering a similar version for my father for the PC
