Cons: If using at high or very high volume, people around you can clearly hear what's going on. --- NOT RECOMMANDED THOUGH! ;)
Pros: Excellent sound from high to low frequencyMicrophone quality / input soundInline volumeInline microphone on/off switchVery long cableSeperate connector for headphone and microphone Comment:
I been using this headset for almost 6 years now and this one is absolutely amazing for its price! Can play almost every sound, the bass is awesome (dance and electronic dance addict here, so lots of loud bass). The only down side so far is a connection problem somewhere in the wire which will sometimes shut one of the two headphone but playing a bit with the inline volume control will fix it - the kind of problem that appears over time and usage. Not a big deal.I don't listen to symphonic music or opera, sometimes instrumental, but mostly dance and electronic dance (trance) music with LOTS of bass and it's trully stunning! I can really "feel" the music. I have been pushing them quite far with the bass volume and still can play it very well after countless hours of heavy and loud bass.I'm also using this headset for gaming and TeamSpeak. Gaming is perfect, nothing to say. It's not a 5.1 headset, but I can still easily say if enemies are coming from either side of me while playing First Person Shooter. Meaning, knowing what is around you and where is not a problem! While playing, I can leave the microphone turned on (Voice Activation for TeamSpeak users) and there is not reverb at all, no echo (unless you leave mic on while sound is played loud enough from your speakers). |

Cons: Small ear holes. If you wear glasses, this may start to hurt your ears after a half hour or so.
Pros: Excellent frequency response and quality for a low cost headset. Sounds great in all audio ranges. Long cable. Mic mute switch. Comment:
This headset is an excellent value for those that aren't ready to shell out for the more expensive variety, but are fed up with "Big Box" brands such as Sony or JVC, or even the highly respected Logitech.Having owned multiple Headsets from various brands, these are easily the best sub $100 headset that I have ever owned.They have excellent sound quality for the price, with a very respectable frequency response. Bass is very defined and has a decent "ompf" factor to it, but is not as heavy as a headset with a larger driver may have. The Mid and high range sounds are excellent, with very clear and precise output.The cable is extremely long, which has many uses. Though from time to time, if you don't position or secure the cable properly, it may get in the way, such as accidentally rolling over it with your desk chair. The Mic/Volume control unit does have a clip on the back, which generally goes a long way to make sure the cable doesn't get in the way.The volume control also includes a mic switch, to easily mute your mic at the flick of your thumb.The mic is on a long boom with a rotating hinge that easily rotates upward and out of the way when not in use. The voice quality of the mic is fairly good, but with no noise cancelling features for the mic, it can be susceptible to background noises. The speakers themselves don't have noise cancelling features either, but with the closed ear design, it covers enough of the ear so that only loud noises will produce a problem.The main disadvantage to this headset is in comfort level. The unit may sound fantastic, but as someone who wear glasses, it starts to hurt my ears after a half hour or so when my glasses are on. This is likely due to the fact that the ear pads are not very large, and do not fully encapsulate the ear. Instead, they rest on the outside edge of the ears. If you don't wear glasses, these will remain comfortable for at least 2 hours or more. |

Cons: not as isolating as some environments need
Pros: comfortable, good sound quality Comment:
Excellent headphones for Skype or Lync. I used these pretty much every day to collaborate with my coworkers, since I'm remote. I can have them on for hours at a time without issue. Good microphone quality and speaker quality. And very reasonably priced. |

Cons: Hurts my ears after 2 hours.
Pros: Nice Quality Sound, Nice Mic when Chatting over Telephone lines. Comment:
I needed one for Chatting and light gaming. This one does the job. The stereo headset will take a while to get use to, but the sound quality is great, and so does the mic. The only downside is that my ear does get soar after a few hour. I guess that's what you get when you purchase a sub $100 headphones. |

Cons: Bass seems deep but is lacking some punch/clarity
Pros: Sounds awesome with games, good mic quality, comfortable even with my glasses, seems sturdy/solid construction Comment:
I had a few logitech headsets which broke (happens when you're a gamer :P), read that these were more durable and they seem that way looking at the plastici listen to music and play games, they were great with halflife2, very immersive soundingpersonally i like the bass, i havent had any issues with bass distortion like other people have had and im just using some realtek onboard sound, sounds better than the 2 logitech sets i had that cost around the same price |

Cons: - Hurts after a few hours- Earcups are a little small- Price a little high if not on sale
Pros: - Good Quality- Good In-Game sounds Comment:
I got this headphones and I'm happy with it. It's not the best, but it was on sale for $49.99 so I thought it was a good deal. It's also Sennheiser and they're known for good audio equipment. Would buy again if it was on sale, other than that there are other better options for $69.99 |

Cons: Small ear pads that press, causing fatigue; not for serious music listening.
Pros: Solid construction, decent frequency response and mic, convenient volume control, firm padding, good value. Comment:
These are great low-budget headphones for general use, from gaming and telephony to shorter periods of music listening. They may be best for gaming, as the lesser quality bass is compensated for by boosting its volume, so it's a bit boomy sounding. For telephony, the noise cancelling mic works well, and the sturdy stem stays out of the way and positions easily, with a useful windscreen on it. The sound for music is acceptable, as you're usually not too focused on the music when working at the computer anyway. The quality and construction are up to sennheiser standards, though the cord seems a bit flimsy. I also wonder how long the volume control on the cord will last before becoming noisy. The headband is good and solid and very adjustable, and the padding is decent. The earpads do not cover the ear but press against it, which is tiring after a couple of hours.Overall, a great deal for the price, though you still more or less get what you pay for in audio quality. |

Cons: Gets a little uncomfortable after a whileA little quiet..
Pros: Great Sound!Good Bass.Cheap. (35$) Comment:
When i first put these on, i could already tell they were gonna make me sore after a couple of hours. However, after playing some CS and listening to music with these headphones, they were spectacular. Good bass with sharp trebles is what i found. Highly recommended to those who don't play games/ listen to music excessively for over 2 hours or so without a break. Other bad thing is that even on full volume, these things are not VERY loud, but for me, i don't like things that will burst my ears.Will buy again.Cheers. |
I bought this mic looking for an affordable solution for skype / games. The voice and sound quality are both good for the price. Unfortunately after about a year of use, the ear piece detached. Overall, good choice if you're looking for decent quality at a good price.
