    These are a little heavier then expected but very comfortable. I where the set for at least eight hours every weekday. I grew tired of replacing my Plantronics (Poly) due to extremely poor quality plastic that would snap every Eight months. The noise canceling feature is much better then expected. I am hopeful the plastic will last well over a year.

    I don't use these for gaming, rather for meetings. These are comfortable, great-sounding headphones for the money. I like the retracting mic and detachable cord, but the cord is annoyingly short, so you might have to get an extension ore replacement cord. The product description states that it uses "active noise cancelling" but that's misleading because in the fine print on the box, it only describes that the microphone is "noise-cancelling", whatever that is supposed to actually mean. In real-world usage it's fine and I am pretty happy with the purchase.

    The headset itself? Great. The cord is decently long, the sound quality is great, and the mic is really clear. The proprietary software you need inorder to use the headset? Terrible. It does not save all of your settings when you power off your pc so i have to double check my settings every single time i join a party or do anything on my computer when i want to use the headset

    Fit around the ears is good and the band inside is actually adjustable or if you like you can take it off, game sounds are great and I have to lift them off just to hear my hubby talking to me lol

    Great Audio for the Price; clear mids and decent bass response make it ideal for gaming and casual listening. Retractable Microphone are handy for switching between gaming and everyday use. Limited Features: No active noise cancellation or surround sound.

    Great Value, Just a Bit Tight

    These headphones are great for short use. I originally got them for gaming, but since my head is a bit larger than average, they feel a little tight. The sound quality is actually pretty good, particularly for the price. Overall they are fairly comfortable, I just wish they were a bit wider. Honestly, for the price, these are some of the best headphones you can get.

    Just bought these headphones for the second time because on my own fault of breaking them but reordered again because they are really good, really loud and comfy. Good pair of headphones for the price!

    The sound quality of the head phone are great. The sound quality is equivalent to Sony and SkullCandy headphones. In my own opinion, which is NOT a fact, I prefer skullcandy. HOWEVER, when you turn the headphones in, when you fold them in...they WILL break and I was gentle. I don't like the mechanism bc after so much use the headphones will break. the Headphones are also great for audio recording. Awesome for vocalists and voice over work.

    These are really great but honestly I feel as though the bass takes a backseat with these. I can hear literally everything I need to hear but I just feel like it’s not a full spectrum of sound.

    To be completely honest it's a good wired headset for the price with clear audio and a pretty decent mic. Now if your looking for a sturdy feeling headset then this one isn't it because it's mostly made of plastic but other than that its been working fine for me for the past 4 months now !

    This was a spectacular headset for the price up until a few days ago a screw fell out and upon screwing it back in, the microphone no longer works. Great while it lasted.

    I’ve been really impressed with these headphones. They’re extremely comfortable, even during long listening sessions, and the sound quality is excellent – clear, rich, and well-balanced. Whether I’m working, relaxing, or on the go, they deliver a great audio experience. Definitely a solid purchase!
