How's the overhead band size, and the size of the ear cups? Looking for headset that I can wear for hours and for gaming.

The headset is incredibly comfortable, and fits snug over the ears(not on top of them). I'm a pretty avid gamer, and I don't have any complaints about how they feel or how they sound. Longest amount of time I've clocked with these on at once would probably be around 6-7 hours.

Super comfortable on my ears. Only problem is the plastic on the headband is weak. Mine broke in 2 weeks and no help from skullcandy the get the part I needed to fix them

The band is pretty comfortable, as well as the ear cups. I wear this for hours, and I have average is not slightly large ears.

I love my MMX300 everyone says that I'm clear and loud when I'm using them. The mic is really high end for a headset plus sound is amazing specially if you pair them with a ASUS PCI-Express x1 Sound Card XONAR ESSENCE STX/90-YAA0C0-0UAN00Z :D

My online teammates said the quality was fine, and that there wasn't anything bad about the mic quality(I'm not really sure there is a better approval term than that).As far as head comfort, yes, this headset is very comfortable. I wear the headset (out of preference) whenever I am on my computer, and I will keep it on for 6+ hours at a time with no issues. After daily use for several weeks, I don't have any complaints with the headset at all. The sound quality is good, the mic quality is good, the headset is comfortable and lightweight, and overall, I am very satisfied with the headset. Especially considering the price.

I'd love to have a pause or skip on the headset. I often am working on another system via a KVM switch, and listening to the music on another computer with the headset. That is it, I really like them and they hold up well.

I agree. I found the G4ME One to be uncomfortable and therefore returned them. I am using a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro's and find them to be extremely comfortable and superior sound quality. They are also open as that is what you really need for an expansive sound stage. I would try the HD 598 and see how they fit and perform. Other than the mic, looking for a quality headset is imperative, not only for gaming, but especially for music, movies, etc. Good Luck

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!

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.

It is good but I wouldn't call it great.I actually bought them for using while flying commercially and haven't tried them there yet.I have had better noise cancelling but the headset was much more expensive.

Hey Joel, I would give these a 9. The sound is really good and accurate, specially when playing battlefield or The Last of Us. You can hear all the sounds and the direction they are coming from and you also get really good battery life. The setup is really easy also. Check out my review you can see how the setup is. Hope I helped.

Samuel, I have the same headset as you. I have not ordered these pads yet. Have you been successful in finding a correct pad? If so, what are they? Chuck S.

oh yes most def first of all the drivers are 10mm bigger and very noticeable when hearing it's a no brainer, i tried the xb400's when i sampled the 500's as well and the 500's were much more comfy as well... it is well worth the extra few $'s for sure i would not hesitate... the 400's are on ear, i hated em they squish your ear after a few minutes wearing them , the 500's are over the ear, much much better for longer durations of using them... if you can get a pair get em now because they may become obsolete and you will be disappointed...

Yes, I recommend them for you. First off, they're adjustable. And second....your head's the perfect size. Think positive and enjoy thegreat sound from these headsets.

I have small ears and when I saw the size of these I thought they would simply be too big and I would have to remove them. The large pads fit over my ears which is really surprisingly comfortable so it's like my ears sit inside them? I've been using these for over 8.5 hours a day working and never once have they gotten uncomfortable or itchy like a pair I have that sits on my ears nor have the gotten sweaty (FL heat). They look large and are highly adjustable but even at no headband adjustment that are snug and have never slipped off. For me, this is prob the most comfortable headset I've used besides my Sony MDR-V6 headphones (too different functions and price points though of course!)

Definitely on-ear (supra-aural) rather than around ear (circumaural) for me. I had an older Fatal1ty headset that was true circumaural (until it failed) but this one has much smaller (and less comfortable) ear cups.

The bass is acceptable, at least to me. It won't reproduce the 20 Hz organ note of "Also Sprach Zarathustra", but that's true of most headsets (the 20 Hz note is cut off in an mp3 anyway). The frequency response is fairly flat (which is what I prefer), so the bass doesn't "boom" and "stick out" over everything else. "New Age" electronic/instrumental music (my personal favorite) sounds wonderful on this headset.

As a game developer, I use these headsets religiously. They are not the best quality, but compared to 90% of wired headsets near the same price range they are just as good. Only problems I have with the headset is the boom for the microphone. The elbow that attaches boom to the left headphone is made out of plastic and if dropped on that elbow it will break with ease. (I strength my headsets by attaching 38 gauge aluminum with some liquid steel adhesive, to the elbow join) I have used a number of these headsets and currently own three. Two for work and one for home. Being able to get up and get a drink or rush to a project meeting, without stressing about tripping over a cord or ripping the USB out is hard to beat. Hope this review helps, if you have any questions about the headset let me know and I'd be happy to answer them for you.

Mine is a couple years old and has great abilities and Quality for your listener. I know many people, When I'm talking on it, don't even know I'm on the headset. As far as airbuds... They provide you with a little bag so you can put the one that feels the best for you. Hopefully they'll have your size. unfortunately I had t my original one go through the wash because it was in my pants pocket, so I got it replaced... but after it dried out it actually worked pretty good, So much so my son uses it for when he plays video games. Also I found @ another store, a small little protective case for it. Because it is so small and I put in there, it takes care of it I love it. It works great and it holds a good charge for six hours and it talks to you and tells you how much time. When you get Low, it gives you about a 10 minute warning while & if you're on a phone call etc. You won't regret buying ever
