    These are solid! Great sound! Great feel on your head and you don’t have to scream into the mic like it seems with some headsets I’d recommend these to anybody if you use them on Xbox make sure to change your settings to the windows sonic setting they sound excellent!

    There is other brand that has better sound quality but I bought this because the ear pads are very comfortable when wearing on the head. Maybe in the long term use the earpads will not broke like some use imitation leather. Although it may have some fingerprint on it but still a good gaming headset.

    The headphones are very comfortable and adjustable. The elastic headband at the top stops any pressure/sweat issues. the boom microphone is Good quality for the price and only has minimal pop or distortion noticeable. It has standard 3.5mm audiojacks but, does not have USB connector so that is something you need to be aware of, in addition the cord is single input plug but the extension cable is microphone and audio split. The 4 foot primary cable should be enough since you have to plug directly into the controllers for console machines. For laptop users you are restricted to 4 feet based on plug, extension wont work as you would lose microphone capability. Luckily my PC has front Audio connectors or the added length of the extension wouldnt have helped much as some PCs only have back audio 3.5mm connection points.

    Disappointing

    The sound quality is not the best. The ear cups are very lose and let a lot of outside sound through. Basically zero noise cancellation. They were not very comfortable to wear either. They constantly slid no matter what I did to the tightening band. The mic broke after approx. 6 months. The warranty is only accessible if you register the product within a certain window after purchase, so the best they could offer was a small discount on a new pair. While the mic was working, the sound was very crisp and clear. It did a good job of not picking up excess noise. Overall, I do not recommend these even for budget headphones. Not to drop any names, but there are cheaper ones that are better. Only good part was the long cable.

    Quite comfortable and convenient. The microphone is a compact device that goes into the earpiece. Easy USB port that stays secure - all and all the product was rather a good buy.

    I've been using these headphones for a good 3 years now and they're great!! They fit perfectly on my head with the adjustable strap, I don't feel like my head is being squeezed with these like I have with other headphones. Sound quality is excellent and the microphone is top notch. A small design thing I love is that the mic feeds back into the headphones so when not in use it's not out there and obtrusive. It's also very easy to clean.

    Bought these for a friend 2 years ago and they still work good as new, and for the price the sound and build quality is rather good and the mic is extremely good when using the SteelSeries dongle they include.
