Has anyone used these for gaming? I used to love Logitech headphones for gaming, but every headset I've had recently has broken fast and had poor mic

No. I use these in a convertible, with a bluetooth phone. They are great for that, and I think have a microphone in the headset, though I might be wrong.Playing music they might be a little louder, but, playing games, in a room, without the extra noise, I think they would be plenty loud enough.Hope this helps.

Prepare to be disappointed. Since these are subject to Bluetooth technology, you can either use the high-quality stereo mode with no microphone, or use the low-quality bluetooth mode with microphone. Every explosion will sound like a phone call with the mic on. The mic kinda is kinda butt, regardless.

I bought mine primarily to use with my drum set - but since then I've been using to listen to Spotify on my PC too and they sound freaking fantastic! Way better than any of the PC Gaming headphones (Logitech) that I have... These are industry standard audio monitors, I don't think you'll find a better performing, more affordable set.

Kyle, I have had these headphones only about 3 months. So far they are doing well...seem to be very durable and tough. I'm not rough with them but I have dropped them a couple times but on a carpeted floor. I use mine several time a week but not every day. I use mine for listening to Spotify on my laptop. I am well pleased with them although I haven't had then very long! Very comfortable and sound good considering what my source of music comes from. I hope this helps you. Sorry I haven't had them longer to give you a better answer as to their durability!

Well, as I have only used the G35's and the Plantronics 780's I can only speak on those. The G35's are by far the most comfortable headset I've ever used. If they didn't have the TERRIBLE FLAW of breaking at the joint on the earcup I would still be using them and only them. The sound is excellent. The microphone is near perfect. The Plantronics are nice so far but nearly as comfortable and they do not fit over my ears so ambient sound is an issue. They are def. better made than the G35 though.

Sound quality is quiet good, especially for a headset. You can get stand alone microphones with better quality but for a headset the microphone is quiet good.I don't get any background noise, NO scratching or hum. I use it quiet often for gaming and Skype calls, works perfectly. The "G-Keys" allow you to assign a push to talk or any sort of macro keys.Let me know if you have any other questions. Please give me feedback, thanks!

is this a serious question? Monster headphones are horrible, if you get these you'll honestly think these are the best headphones in the world, i own a pair of the M30s and they are very good. i'll more than likely pick these up. so if you are considering monster audio and these, dont hesitate buy these right now

That is exactly what happened to mine, three other people wrote that same thing I their reviews in the last four days ! It's too bad, I have a similar headset from GG Air, and I love them, I almost bought a 2nd set of these, but after seeing the other reviews, forget it.

These have a good level of bass with fantastic clarity across the full spectrum, both high and low. For gaming, there isn't another headset out there with better audio quality. I would suggest also getting a DAC/Amp or decent soundcard to compliment it to give you an even better experience...If however, you are looking for an audiophile pair of headphones for listening to music in ultra-high quality there are probably better options out there for you. This is for gaming purists who need a high quality mic and require the best sounds out of the games they play.

It's great for both! I love em. Now I wouldn't wear these on the bus or in a store, but sitting on my computer they sound great. Only issue is...if you turn the speakers up high, there is a slight haze sound when there isn't anything playing. Other then that, best gaming headset I've owned. And I'm a music buff. You'd like it man!

Yes I believe you can. I had my son try them out for me and he is a gamer and he said they worked just fine and they have a nice long cord, which is also good for gaming. Keep in mind that I have not used them much yet, but so far I have had no problems with this headset and microphone.

I'm hoping that they've gotten this issue fixed with later shipments. My pair as well as my brother-in-law's pair had the left cup fail after the first day of use. SteelSeries had us fill out an RMA and we got replacements within a week and a half. Neither of us has had any issues in the four months that we've had them and in the end I am very happy with this headset. A lot of options for tweaking them to get your ideal sound

I have two pair and I am using them for everything. Having multiple issues means lots of quiet like gaming! You will have a much longer playing time for they are super flexible and daft while giving great support.

These headphones are a step above the xbox headphones...but they only give you voice chat, game sounds still come from t.v. You would have to invest in higher end ones like turtle beach.

i only use them in to play video games, and they sound very clear, in stereo of course. They sound very well, but i think that almost all headset for this prize must sound like this or better. I tried turtle beach X12, 40€, and they sound as clear as Monster, but, for me, X12 are much less confortable.

I've used them quite a bit gaming(CS GO), and I added the Boom Pro mic. Works beautifully. I'd imaging far better than any purpose built gaming headphones, and everyone says the mic sounds good too.

I use it for gaming and commentary and it's great if you are recording, or if you have other people making noises around you because it cancels it out and only records you however this mic is very low. That is a common complaint about it, no matter how many settings I try to adjust, there's no way to increase the volume any more. I have a hard time talking in game, and everyone says my mic is too low. I gave it to my boyfriend who now uses it to record his songs, and play acoustic guitar. For this purpose it works flawlessly with great sound. I recommend the Blue yeti for gaming and commentaries, my gamer friend swapped from the snowball to this, and I plan on doing so too.

Not sure I understand but I can tell you this:They are comfortable and to me the sound quality is the best I have ever had out of a set of gaming headphones.
