I use this head set for both gaming and work. I bought this headset to replace the ones that came with my Plantronic Rig. I still use the rig part of the headset so I can make calls from my cellphone using the razer headset and to use the in-line mice with my PC for skype and gaming. I wear this headset anywhere from 6-10 hours a day and so far have no discomfort. The only two downsides are that if you were to use this head directly with a smartphone there is no button for answering calls, and if you want to use the in-line mic on PC you would need to by an adaptor (I use the rig part from my old headset). Overall I am very satisfied with the head and you can't beat the price

very good sound and build quality for the price

This headset at first was rather uncomfortable, after a few months of usage it became incredibly more comfortable to the point where I was able to wear it for extended periods of time (4 - 8 hours) without any pain on my ears from it clamping down too hard.It sounds decent but I turned down the bass using an equalizer because it was drowning out a lot of the other sounds. Besides that the only issue I have is their marketing of "essential gaming" because it cannot effectively be used for PC Gaming which is what I believe it is marketed towards as well as mobile gaming (which it's better at) because the inline microphone cannot be used with a PC unless you purchase a separate adapter.I'm giving it 4 Stars which is listed as Very Good-Would Purchase Again and I can honestly say I wouldn't purchase these again but am not upset with my purchase and am satisfied with the price I paid for them.

Comfort is decent, but sweaty-ear-syndrome is alive and well here. The cords provided are only 5 ft long... not really a pro or con, since you can use your own if you want shorter/longer (although you may have to whittle the plastic down on the 3rd party headphone cable like I did to make it fit), but the ability to switch headphone cables is a BIG deal for me (getting cables caught was how I broke all my previous headphones). The only significant negative of note is the sound quality. The sound stage is "meh" (although Razor's "Stereo Enhancement" in their free surround software actually helped... unlike all other software solutions I've ever heard). Mid bass over-exerts itself and distorts (I had to drop  the 120Hz and 250Hz bars on my equalizer to get a result I could enjoy). The best description I could give of the sound is "stereotypical sealed over-the-ears headphones", ie, you will never mistake that you are wearing headphones (sound won't seem to come from way out in the distance, or from virtual speakers 10 ft away). I've worn similar sealed designs with a much better soundstage, so it's not an inherent problem. It does sound better than 90% of headphones in this price range... so all considered... 4 stars.
