    Value, Yet Quality

    The microphone is pretty good and the cushioning is comfortable on my head and easy to adjust. I like that the design isn't too "gamery" so you could realistically wear this headset anywhere without getting weird looks. Definitely would recommend this if you're looking for a good value headset.

    Amazing Gaming Headset!

    The Sound Quality of this headset is very loud to my liking and very crispy with a solid amount of bass to it. This Budget Headset is perfect for gaming and watching Shows/Movies! Its very comfortable on the head and doesn't press down on your head. The Mic itself also does the job with good clear crisp communication.

    Steelseries arctic nova

    These headphones exceeded my expectations. Although they do not have noise cancelling, I dont find it necessary. The volume is more than enough. The sound is full and great for 360 spatial sounds. I use these for meetings as well. The retractable mic works great and makes these headphones awesome for gaming, music, and work. For the price. These are one of the best. The controls on the headset make these great for easy muting and volume control.
