Pros: Comfortable, Light, Great sound, Good mic sound quality, Mic swivels well out of view

Cons: Mic doesn't bend practically at all

I got these on sale for $50 dollars at BestBuy while they are normally around $80. I would have even been fine if I had paid $80 to be honest. These headphones are extremely comfortable and lightweight. The mic seems to not want to bend even though it has one spot on it that allows it to bend. Even though I have had great feedback on Mic clarity and sound quality. I always make sure to adjust my settings and only use high quality VoIP applications with awesome codecs. The sound is amazing and the cord is more than long enough for whatever setup you have. The cord is your basic 3.5mm plug so you can use it with everything. The mic swivels with ease and can easily disappear and almost forget you had a mic, I like this better than detachable mics. I really don't have anything against this headset and will be upgrading to 7.1 surround sound headset in the near future and passing these on and still recommending them.

I got mine @ the regular price of $80 and am just as happy with them. Light weight, comfortable, play to a decent level, sound pretty good, mic is clear. Another huge feature that I really like on these is, that you can twist the ear muffs about 10 degrees and they come off for cleaning, they have the soft felt type of fabric that is super comfortable and don't sweat after hours of gaming, so, it's nice that they come off so easily for cleaning every so often. The only negative I have would be that they are an open, or semi open headphone design to allow hearing of surrounding sounds, but they aren't very good in this respect. I have to slip one of the ear muffs off my ear to hear my brother when we are playing together in the same room about 6 feet apart.

I have a pair of these, and for a cheap headset they are really nice. I can't argue on the comfort, they are up there with about the most comfortable I have ever had. Mic quality is pretty awesome, the only drawback on these would be the sound, which is great for their price, but not the best.

Anyone looking for a set of headphones that doesn't break the bank and you won't be afraid to touch, these are right up on the list.

I've had a pair of these for around two years now, and they just recently shorted due to poor care, I second the comfort level, compared to other phones i've used they weigh almost nothing
