 EH. . . November 21, 2008
I got this because it was recommended me through a friend. I won't hold it against the product that one of the speakers sounds like it was blown and cracks a bit depending on the amount of bass. but the sound quality for games could have been better along with music...My friend swears up and down over these but I see issues with it.
On the positive side it is a very durable headset and the way it was built is very practical along with how it disassembles as well is a cool feature...all in all, it could have been better.
Great for only FPS games. under average for music and rest. October 10, 2008

As advertised, this is gaming headset. Customers who purchased this headset for strictly for FPS game should be very satisfied. For customer who is consider purchasing this product thinking they can sacrifice other sounds of music, video play, etc thinking sacrifice is very minimal, think again. This headset is not for everyday use. I read the reviews and knew headset was horrible reproducing sounds outside of gaming but took a risk thinking how bad can it be. It's really bad. You hear almost no bass in music and have to turn EQ on always. But turning bass on will make Speakers in headset distort playing music with heavy bass in any volume. Watching movies on PC with headset is little better but voice and rest of the sounds feel very distant. It feels like movie is playing inside a small hall. This is same problem for playing games other than FPS. Any games with nice background music or cinematic trailers have to suffer its quality. For $$ you paid for this headset, not sure why you have to sacrifice any sound. Headset itself, mic and built quality are good. I been using it for about 2 month and hope it will last forever. Headset is not for everyday use but playing COD4, CS:source, Crysis is at its best. Customers thinking minimal sacrifice, do not buy this headset. This is FPS game headset ONLY.
 Great for Games, Ok for Music March 28, 2008

Let me start off by saying, for gaming i don't think there is a better headset out there. The virtual 7.1 works flawlessly and the mic on this thing is crystal clear. Its relatively comfortable, although I start to sweat around my ears around the 1 hour mark. Also if you are considered one with a small head, i might go try it on first. I have what you call a large head with some hair and i have this thing cranked all the way down. Works for me but not so sure about others.
Music - Very mediocre. i know it is optimized for GAMING but i still feel it fell short in this department. don't expect to be blown away or even satisfied if you want to listen to music a lot on headphones.
All in all its a solid headset, and is well worth the money if you are into gaming.
UPDATE:so it has been 4 days and the right side of the headphones has stopped working. i am very surprised/annoyed because i handled these things like a baby and still went out on me. i thought it was something funky with vista so i turned on the "flip sound" so the left side plays on the right and visa versa and no sound still. plugged it into a friends computer and same thing. not very happy that i spent $100 on these and they fail within such a short amount of time.
