How's the microphone quality? How heavy is this model - good for jogging? (want to use it for gaming/exercise)

I have not used the microphone feature. It is light weight, and should be fine for jugging.

This item didn't come with a microphone. Its a great item but if you want to use it for audio/ media or the one with a mic. This item is only for music, it wouldn't pair my phone properly for this use.

Not good for jogging! They do not go around your eats just lay on top. Excellent sound quality, but after awhile they hurt you ears. Hope this helps!

Sorry, I haven't used the microphone. They're very light, surprisingly, but not super snug around your head. They might work fine for jogging. The range is fantastic. I can walk to the other side of the office and still hear my music.

Haven't used for phone calls yet, mostly used for stereo mp3 playback. Probably good for jogging, it is a headphone for that means my ears may sweat when exercising. I think pods are best for active use.

I actually do weight-lifting, like yourself, and I can tell you that you won't have any problem with anything snagging or audio issues with these light-weigh earphones. I've bench press, cycled, do sit-ups, you name it with them and I've had no problems. It's pretty solid. The bass quality is probably one of the best, compared to the jaybird which only has treble quality. Depending on how you twist and angle your earpiece hole, towards your ears, you will either get stronger or mild bass quality. Hope that helps.

Ive used both so hopfully this will help other users too, if you only game on PC then the Kraken is nice but Ive has a similar issue with Razer as ive had with TurtleBeach. Ear cups go bad randomly. The RIG is great if you want style with the ability to go anywhere with it, be it console, pc or mobile. Also you don't need a boom mic as the inline mic cable for cellphones detects and transmits audio insanely well. Id say RIG personally, plus user replaceable parts are plus for any gamer so you can always have spares!

Its alright. I find the cord length a bit annoying when lifting weights. But when running and doing cardio they are great and stay put on your head. I don't recommend these headphones if you're planning on doing sit-ups or pushups, they tend to slip, bit it mainly depends on your head/hair (bald, conditioned hair, etc.)... Oh yeah, after having mines for about 1 year. The plastic construction of these cans, make this hollow sound when running. Its hard to describe

The microphone quality is good. The person who you are talking to will be able to hear you well. You do need to be in a quiet area to hear them clearly though. It is difficult to speak on the headset on the road or in the gym. This headset is good for making calls, but when listening to music, the quality can be imrpoved a little. I still prefer using wired samsung earphones for better quality.

I used it for running, so it's light weight was critical. It's not very loud though, so if you can handle a bit more weight, a metronome on a smart phone might work better. Most of those metronomes can make different sounds as well whereas this makes only 1 sound. That said, this device worked for my purpose!

The mic is totally fine - no complaints there. I use Mumble/Vent regularly and my clanmates have had no complaints. I also don't have to use mic boost or anything like that.

yes the mics are very good! I have had mine for half a year so far, no loss in quality. but keep the small one in a memorable place.p.s it would be a good idea to SEW the ear padding down, otherwise it will come off within 2 weeks. (that is literally the only problem, if you sew it early, you will never have to worry about the padding)better than the expensive turtle beach or other brands that I've tried, that's for sure!

Hi John,The microphone was very good. I liked these headphones except for the fact that the audio failed in one, than the other, earpiece.Regardstim

They are awesome for gaming. The only drawback is that you have to buy the attachable mic if you game online. I don't have the mic so I can't speak to that piece. Good luck.

I wouldn't say it's good for jogging, but it's definitely good for power walking, even in the grass. We do travel with this and it's great. The one handle pull to close is awesome and it's not that heavy.

yup. use it to skype with friends while gaming all the time. however it does pick up noise from farther away too, so if you're looking for something super high quality, i'd recommend something else

For phone conversation its not that good unless you are in a quiet place. Great for running and listening to music while you workout.

Hi,Yes love this as a jogger. I spent a month researching since these things are so expensive and have been very pleased with this model. You lock the front tire for jogging and it handles great. Absorbs bumps well too. I have a 26 lbs French bulldog and you end up with a great arm workout as an added bonus.

I use it for Dragon speaking. It has good quality sound. For gaming you might want a full headset for stereo sound though.

It sounds pretty good. The mic input is only stereo though so if you are looking for 5.1 the built in mic is your only option.

I use it for running a few times a week. I personally don't have a problem with it. the weights are pretty easy to take out so you can adjust how much weight your running with. I haven't had an issue yet
