 Not very stylish, but comfortable and sounds great November 17, 2008
Despite what many reviews say regarding these headsets, they are not what I would call stylish. However, when I am listening to music or gaming I am not really looking to impress people so the styling is a minor point to me. The sound quality is good, if not just a little bit lacking in the bass department. With this, however, it is very easy to hear many sounds that were more subtle or not as noticeable with other headsets, which can be especially good for FPS or similar games.
The unit comes with two options for your cord length, 3ft (shorter than you think,) or more cable than most will ever need, looks like about 10ft worth or more. This amount of cable just sits on the ground by my computer and I worry about rolling over it with my chair, but it can be useful having this larger amount. The shorter amount is perfect for ipod or airplane length.
The headset is very comfortable to wear for extended periods and I have not had any issues with ear comfort.
One of my only real complaints about the headset is that it is an open style headset, so you will get a little bit of noise from your environment in your set. It is minimal but noticeable. It was actually mentioned before I purchased them, but it was difficult to get an accurate estimation of how much this would affect me. It would probably still purchase these again even with that drawback, however.
 Solid headset November 3, 2008
Good sound quality, quality microphone, I am happy with these. They completely seal my ear and don't cause any problems after many hours of gaming. They seem to be more concentrated on quality rather than making the sound too bass-y like my old plantronics A90s. Cords seem long enough, thick and durable enough to withstand my constant computer chair rollovers. Also modular design to put my speakers in the same cord comes in handy, even if this likely wasnt an intended use. The separate cord for the mic is a +/- in that it is nice to move around, but when i don't need a mic, it sometimes becomes a burden and wish it was just integrated into the ear phone piece. This was an advertised design and I still am not sure which design i prefer, so 5 stars.
Great Headset! February 27, 2008

I have gone through a bunch of headsets, Plantronics, Logitechs, and Sennheisers, all of them broke between the period of 6 to 12 months. Recently, my Steelseries 5HV2 broke, (well, the audio on the right ear piece went out). This headset is replacing the 5HV2 I had. I love the styling of this headset, definitely an eye pleaser and unique in its own way. Furthermore, I finally get to hear what bass sound like. All the headsets I used in the past were lacking in the bass department, even the 5HV2; however, this headset takes the crown. This headset is great for playing first person shooters and listening to music. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
