Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is product is excellent. I was looking for a headset that would do everything *good*. Its hard to find a headset that will do good with music, and also with gaming, since they both emphasize on entirely different aspects. A headset that makes footsteps much more prominent doesn't translate well to music.
The mic is also really good quality, and it extends and retracts like a champion. Its sturdy and very flexible, and I got no complaints from my buddies on how I sounded.
Everything sounds amazing so far, so why the 2 star? Well, depressingly enough, with all the above wondrous benefits, its downfall is its individuality. Unfortunately the neckband design will work for a select few. I must have a unique shaped head because the way it was illustrated to fit on my head, it fell short about 25 degrees. Many reviewers found after extended use it would slide. For me it was about 1 or 2 minutes after putting them on, and trust me I tried many ways to make them work out, because these things where perfect aside from this. They would slide till they where hanging by only the top of my ears, which after a hour or two became quite uncomfortable.
Along with this, after the hour of ear strain, despite the comfort of the material (which is very nice), it heats up things quickly. Along with the sore ears, they where on fire.
I was very depressed about how this did so many things right, that what seems like the simple things, it failed at. But I must stress that the above cases are not true to everyone! I found many cases where people found them to be wonderful (even after the hour or two of use). If you have a chance to try before you buy (locally, or a buddy), take that. But I wouldn't recommend buying these unless you don't mind making the return of they don't work out.
