The sound quality of these headphones are Excellent, the sound high quality of the mic is great, the cost is great, the volume controller is nice.Value is right. The usb connector is a short coming.Sucks not being capable to run this from my ownage sound card =( Noobs out there: LOAD THE DRIVERS!Don't just anticipate to have the very best sounding heaphones by just plugging in your USB.There's a explanation they give you the drivers, and thats cuz you can't run it from your sound card.

+ Great high quality audio headphones+ Reasonably priced+ Challenge-free of charge USB connectivity - Starts to hurt my ears immediately after a even though- Entirely covers the ears, muffling ambient noise.- The mic performance seems a little inconsistent. My wife and I each get complaints that we cut out often.- Volume controls ALL volumes, not just headset volume. The bit about muffling ambient noise is a Con for me since I use them for gaming and I'd like to be able to hear game sounds/music or what ever other distraction I have going on. I'm not confident what the deal is with the mic. We've tried adjusting software program and still have difficulty with it at times.They're good enough that we felt comfy providing a set as a gift to a pal. In retrospect, nevertheless, I would like a lighter, additional open pair that don't hurt my ears so much right after an extended gaming session.

This was no cost with my video card buy.Sounds greater than my iPod headphones. Comes with a mic. You can really feel pressure about the ears from the headphone cups immediately after quick time.Don't wear it when you are booting up your Pc since you'll hear crackles and pops.Cord distance from the left headphone to remote is a bit brief.

wonderful speed, good pricing..like generally with new egg Can't overclock to considerably, with out heat-sink

Uncomplicated to set up. Price. Way as well tight, feels like they had been created for a child.I can't wear them quite lengthy with out them hurting my ears.Also I discover a lack of speech clarity and have a tricky time creating out words. Lack of cushion for leading of your head.

- Low price tag!- This headset has outstanding sound good quality. The bass is powerful and really full sounding just like a bass ought to be. In my music, there was only distortion exactly where it was meant to be... which I can't say for some other headsets.- The microphone is relatively clear, but I haven't utilized many microphones so I don't have considerably to evaluate it to.I use it for music, movies, games (l4d, css, tf2, and so forth). I by no means when heard anyone complain of my microphone being of poor good quality. I did try to record some of my friend and I playing guitar but we couldn't get it to cancel out adequate of the background static, so don't use it for studio recording ;)- If you didn't shell out large for a good sound card then the fact that it's USB should be a big pro (it was for me). You can get nice sound good quality without obtaining a good sound card.- The earphones cover your ears, not just rest on them so it permits for some nice noise canceling. Plus, they have ample cushion for your ears and are lightweight. - Sometimes sound crackling would happen.- I would sometimes hit the large Reside contact button in the middle of the volume panel on the cord and it would minimize whatever I had open (including games) to tell me how to make msn calls. Then when I installed msn it would ask me who to call. Just kinda annoying and not truly valuable at all.- I've owned two of these in the previous 2 years and, with every one, the microphone shorted out inside about 6-9 months, but the headphone would be fully fine. About 1-2 months later the headphones would really slowly quick out. I found I prolong this for a tiny even though by muting the microphone on the device, but it at some point just died.- It's USB only so you won't be in a position to take advantage of a good sound card.- Immediately after wearing them for about 6 hours straight, they became a small uncomfortable, but I'm confident wearing even the most comfy headset in the planet would be a pain right after 6 hours of use. Fairly sweet headset, but be ready to get a new one in about a year.Who mentioned you had to spend 贄+ for a great headset?

A fairly decent Headset for the price. Bass is decent as nicely. Music good quality is on par with price tag range. Nonetheless worth four eggs Not incredibly loud. A small tight on head and some what unconformable. Clunky volume controls If you are looking for a decent cheap headset this a single nice for that.

You get what you pay for, this is a decent headphone mic set that came totally free as component of a package deal. I tried it out to see if it worked, which it did now I have not applied it once more because I have the wireless Sound Blaster live Warcraft set. none

Super sound top quality, USB interface, Mic sounds seriously nice so I'm told. The set fits great, the earmuffs dont hurt my ears, they cover them...low price. Tough Pleather ear muffs will make you sweat immediately after about an hour of use. (I wear these for hours a day) Also the small control pad is just buttons, the mute button does not lock. If you bump it against an armrest or your knee you either get muted and you dont know it or the stupid microsoft voice chat system begins. dumb Great buy for the price tag

Fantastic bang for your buck, I've had many of these.For FPS gaming it's fantastic, you can hear just about anything. As in terms of sound top quality, I personally think that the bass is a little too higher,Lengthy period use will hurt your ears, THEY ARE Genuinely TIGHT.The mute button in the middle of the cable is annoying as it is uncomplicated to bum.For some cause some USB ports operate superior with it than other individuals?

Low-cost, USB, the volume manage and mute is great. The high quality control on these is terrible. I purchased two of these and on a single the mic did not operate. Not wanting to spend the shipping back I took them apart and let me inform you... these are utter cr-p in excellent. The mic boom has no protection from over twisting and if you turn these about you will snap the wire. The sound high quality is not even close to the high quality of the Logitech's. These are also hot but this is just the nature of this type of headphone. I thought Microsoft at least permitted that the excellent would be at least typical.... not this time :( I like USB headphones mainly because I can direct game sound by means of the speakers and get voice on the headsets. I keep attempting to find a replacement for the really unconfortable Logitechs but I can not discover any with the sound and mic high quality.

I purchased this and it was perfect, they are extremely comfy. I could go hours on end with these items on. Sound is fairly decent for the price (ห). The mic was working for around a month, but then it randomly stopped operating. I was pretty sad that it broke, my hopes for it were fairly higher and it was impressing me till then. Even even though the mic is broken, i've still been employing this as is. The sound is wonderful and its comfortable, great purchase for the value.

Comment:
comfortable, simple to use. Went by two pair in less than twelve months. Initial pair lost sound in one channel. Newegg sent me a replacement, which had the microphone go out. Appear elsewhere for a thing sturdy.

Comment:
Very good sound for their cost, but that's about it. Somewhat uncomfortable, terrible build high quality. Right after a handful of months the cord started to short out exactly where it entered the speaker. Soon after that speaker broke off. I patched the brief in the cable and taped up the frame; it was ugly but it held. The subsequent dilemma was the fake leather on the speakers that started peeling off and creating a mess, then the final straw was when the other speaker broke off. I'm going to have to say keep away from these, they're junk.

Great headset for the value. Gives great sound good quality and can get pretty loud. In-line volume controls are really great, and contain a button to answer talk requests on MSN's IM service. Plug and play is incredibly great, didn't have to set up a thing for them to work. I didn't even bother putting in my on-board sound drivers since this doesn't require them because its USB. They are somewhat compact compared to quite a few other circumaural headsets that I have observed. Mic good quality is wonderful, people say I sound crystal clear through AIM, MSN, and Skype. I wish the cord was a bit longer, but it is fairly lengthy. I just have the back of my desktop kinda far back and I don't feel like making use of one particular of the front ports. It must be extended sufficient for most people though

Comment:
Sound excellent is outstanding. I like listening to music with them on. It even cancels out a lot of ambient sound. Excellent for ignoring people in the room. ;)Microphone operates extremely properly for Skype. Hurts my ears. Ears are as well big or ear pieces are too little. Didn't bother making use of the disc. Worked effectively with out it.

Very good sound high quality, great mic excellent, comfy, low-cost. The inline mute is extremely delicate and has a tendency to turn on with out your realizing it. This has led to numerous bouts of me yelling at teammates for becoming dumb, when it turned out that my mic had been off for half the match. Wonderful value. I haven't had matters with the weight of the inline mic control, but have had concerns with it muting the mic with out my understanding it. I wish it beeped or some thing when it muted. Otherwise, good sound high quality and great value.

Comment:
Fits about the ear nicely. Simulates surround sound nicely. USB connection allows for a separate sound output. The calling buttons half way down the cable constantly get in the way. I've had one particular of these for at least a year, and it has maintained its functionality, so durabilty gets an 'A'. Definately the most expense productive solution out there.

Comment:
Superior sound fairly comfy mic functions great cord is unbelievably twisted and when you un twist it it gos proper back to getting twisted great for the value

Comment:
Affordable price, usb, clear sound, clear mic, somewhat comfy ear muffs Pretty plain, not quite pricey looking. Wire is not extended enough for me. Excellent, inexpensive headset, name brand, fairly challenging. I like it

Comment:
I run teamspeak server and on the internet radio and spend about 8 hours a day with this headset on and its fantastic. The music audio quality is excellent and the mic is great at picking up even the quietest noises. Cord is a decent length but could be a bit longer.

Tremendous durability, I have had these for years (ɯ) and they have been via alot. I often drop them and they get rattled about alot. These things have never faltered and havent shown the slightest sign of dying. Compared to other headphones I have owned, this thing just won't die. No true cons I can assume of, I'm not incredibly picky when it comes to headphones, as extended as the sound performs and the mic is audible over vent, I am satisfied. I am not a correct audiophile and I'm not the person to comment on the audio good quality of the headphones, I will say the headphones sound alot superior than my laptop speakers. That being mentioned, if you feel you may possibly be a little rough with your headphones, then these are the ones to get, they will take it.

Comment:
operates nicely, accurate plug and play Sit on your ears, so wearing for much more than an hour will cause some discomfort. worked great for over a year, no issues yet. work fine as a affordable gaming headset, but I would invest in a pair that fit more than the ear, not on them.

Comment:
The sound is very good. The mic is clear. The headphones block out most exterior noise. *While they operate... They overwrite any other present installed sound drivers. You have to unplug the headset and reboot to resolve this problem.The cord! This is the sticking point. The volume handle device has no clip to attach it to anything. The weight is supported by the headphones; it has considerable weight. This causes it to disjoint the cord from the headphones resulting in loss of function of the appropriate headphone and the mic. The cord is short also. I tried to use these quite gently but after two months, they started failing due to the cord troubles.Even so, I intend to buy another pair. This time I will duct tape the cord to the side of the headphone to prevent the weight of the volume handle from pulling the cord loose. I use these in my basement far away from anyone else so looking stupid isn't an issue.
