Comfy, amazing mic, and pretty good build quality, they feel well made. I really hate the sound of them though, and I think you would be better off with over ear headphones and the zalman clip on mic. They don't sound much better than some 30$ headphones IMO. I haven't tried them for FPS gaming yet, but they sound like they have decent positioning in other games.
