Good but fragile September 15, 2006

I love the comfort of these headsets. They completely surround your ears, so no one can hear what you're listening to. They do not squeeze my head too much, and I do not have pain from wearing them for hours at at ime (I play World of Warcraft). My only complaint is that about two weeks after buying them, the small plastic clip that holds the speaker and the cushion to the plastic frame of the headset broke, and I had to superglue it on to continue using it.
They still sound great, and I will continue to wear them. They just aren't made of a very high-quality material.
 Great Sound and very comfortable May 2, 2006

I have gone through a lot of headsets that hurt. This set is so comfortable, it feels like you don't have them on. Also no heat build up at all. Sound quality is excellent, good bass-mids-highs.
Spend the extra 10-15 bucks and make your ears happy.
 Descent for the price, could be better. March 4, 2007

Pros:
-Descent sound quality for the average customer (stereo, not surround). The sound quality for music and games is quite solid, even at high volume.
-Fits my head comfortably. After 30 minutes I forget that I'm wearing them.
-Fair price (about $20).
Cons:
-Noticable white noise when nothing is playing.
-Chincey construction (Whatever you do, make sure these don't fall on the floor).
-Poor microphone sensitivity (I have to raise my voice to a borderline yell with the microphone touching my mouth in order for others to hear me).
In review, nothing spectacular. Just an average headset for someone with a shallow pocketbook.
Excellent sound quality both for music and VoIP November 8, 2006

Bought this item as my primary headset for VoIP calls from home and also to be eventually used as a headphone for music. I can't believe the sound quality it delivers with deep bass and crisp highs especially for Jazz and Rock, to the point that I find myself using this unit for music listening even more often than my dedicated music headphones.
Conversations are crystal clear and the microphone does an outstanding job minimizing the external noise keeping the attention on the important part, the voice.
Very comfortable and light, this headset can be easily adjusted to any size and be worn for long periods of time with virtually no fatigue symptoms. The materials also help isolate the noise coming to your ears, so it takes some time to get used to not hear your own voice during a conversation.
Headset Great until....... November 11, 2006

I plugged the headset into the speaker bar attached to my Dell flat screen and it sounded fantastic. I clipped the volume control to my shirt and everything was fine. Then I stood up to get something and the cord caught on the rail that held my keyboard tray. It severed one of the wires leading to the headset. These are very fine wires. I did what I could to patch it, but it never sounded the same. I am contemplating ordering another pair and just being more careful next time. Bottom line: great sound but too fragile for me.
