Love these.  I use these for gaming.  It silences outside noise as well due to it covering your ears and  tight sealing.

I bought these when they were 30 bucks, you can randomly find them going for 20 bucks.  They're legit.  Maybe not so much for gaming, more for music, but I use it for games.

I'm not a big headset enthusiast, so I don't know much about the technicality of the headset compared to others, but I do know that I love them. Previous to owning these I owned a Logitech G230, which were total ****. They were much more uncomfortable, I got better sound quality and bass out of earbuds, and the mic was annoying to mess with. Furthermore, I accidentily sat on them in the dark once and they snapped in half, and I'm not a very heavy person. Instead of getting a new pair, I decided to upgrade. With these, they are comfortable, they have great sound quality (for my purposes at least), they look pretty slick, and they are much more sturdy. In fact, shortly after buying these ones I accidentily sat on them (lol) and these ones didn't break! As for what I use them for, I listen to a lot of music and I also play a lot of csgo. For those of you who play csgo, you can confirm that being able to tell where people are coming from via footsteps is a HUGE advantage. With these I can hear people clearly and easily. As for music, I have no complaints. Then again, I don't know what $500 headphones sound like so I can't really compare these to anything but junky $10 headphones. These are better. I have owned these headphones for several months and they are holding up really well.

Cons
I wish the cord without the extension was about a foot or two longer for my setup at least

My son loves these for his gaming. Not the utmost in audio quality but they make my almost 12 year old happy.

There's a lot of junky gaming headsets around but overall these are excellent. Sound stage is great and these are definitely awesome for gaming. Excellent value too!

Great for gaming. Near perfect, only flaw is its not designed for gamers with small hands.

Awesome.  Exactly the same as the Microsoft mouse I used to use for gaming.  I bought this as a backup for when my current gaming mouse finally dies off.  I really enjoy the large side buttons - they are easy to hit when you have stuff bound to them in games.

These work amazingly well! I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking to increase their gameplay. They also are compatible with the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, which is what I use them on.

I'm a gamer and these have saved my life and my money! I recommend you invest in these! My only issue is that I need to wear a beanie but I think that is just because my ears hate every headset I come across no matter how comfy these are. My husband says the headset is comfy for him so it could just be me. Superhuman sound is amazing!

best headphones i've had yet. good sound on lows, mids, and highs. Use it for gaming and works perfect. i hear more details then with my prev headphones. works well with all kinds of music instead of being bass heavy like most headsets.

These are amazing headphones. Best choice I've ever made when it comes to gaming.

These are the best gaming headphones I've ever used. The hinge is strong, the earcups go up and down the 2 wires, allowing for even giant noggins like mine to fit comfortably inside. The surround sound is crisp and accurate for FPS gaming situational awareness, and they're good enough to watch movies on too. I love the noise canceling microphone, it gets rid of the fan noise and feedback from the earcups and lets my voice cut through the chatter. I wear glasses under the headphones and I've noticed my right ear hurting after long weekend sessions but after spending some time away from the desk I'm good to wear them for another few hours. I feel bad about wasting my money on the other headphones I got before these.

I got them for gaming purposes. I own just 2 video game consoles. The original Xbox and a 120gb PS3 slim. It's receiver is hooked up to my 42" LG LH90's optical audio output. Playing games with the headphones is so much better. I hear everything around me when playing fps games. I can pinpoint where the enemy's are. After using them to play games, I watched some dvd and blu ray movies. Listening to 5.1 Dolby Digital sound from these was a nice change, when comparing them to just using the hdtv's speakers. I'd recommend them.

I love this gaming headset I purchased and would recommend this to all who need one. If you play games or use headsets, you know how many there are out there. These stood out to me for several reasons. Since there are a lot of reasons I love these, I will simply list them.

-They fit very comfortably. (I play GTA V and long term use does not leave my head  ears sore.) I am also bald and the extra padding in the head support is awesome! They also fit my daughter who acted as my model as I do not like my picture taken. If it was up to her, these would be hers vs. mine.
-These come with adapters so you can use these on your pc as well as Xbox 360.  Cords are nice and long so you can sit back in your chair and have enough cord to reach your pc and console.
-High quality build and very flexible. I can throw these in a bag for travel and do not have to worry about them breaking if they twist. Super flexible and even if I drop them, I would not worry about them being damaged.
-Looks sharp as far as the design and is well laid out. It has a boom mic at the right location. (Others can hear me without any muffle or cutting in and out which is vital in a head set.)
-Sound is great and the design is good for keeping the outside distraction noises out while you focus on your gaming. (Not noise cancelling, but decent in noise isolation.) The sound is decent. You get a nice fair bass sound mixed in with mids-highs. So when there is action, it is enjoyable. Not tinny or empty like some headsets are.
-They have a one year guarantee and not a 30 day one like most headsets give you. To me, this shows a quality product.
-Inline volume control and on off switch.

Only thing I wish could be different is more colors. I love solid black and wish they had a set in solid black. But that is not a con as it is just a preference.

Again, a very nice headset that I can tell will last me a long time. I will update this review should they have any issues or if any of the above changes with ongoing use.

I don't know about you, but I depend very heavily on reviews that are posted on Amazon. I also read what reviewers on Amazon have to say. I want to help others by providing my reviews that detail the product as well as the experience I have with the products that I get on Amazon.

Please note Im not compensated in any way for your vote. I did receive this for free in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. I take my reviews serious and will only provide my true feedback. Thank you!

First of all, my main gaming headset has been the Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 with 7.1 Surround Sound. My review of those: http://www.amazon.com/review/R109WUAKUGX48J/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg3?ie=UTF8&asin=B003VANOFY&cdForum=Fx2NKJUWPQLJGTM&cdPage=3&cdThread=TxF2JH4FTB8KV1&store=electronics

Those have been my friends over the last few years, using them for games but also language learning, audio for powerpoint/youtube presentations, music in the midst of writing and to block out surrounding noises. I got a second pair for my wife.

These had a high hurdle to overcome, but in some ways they get there. First of all, these are more comfortable. The ear cups are bigger, going fully over my ears so that after a little bit I really forget I'm wearing them. That's a big deal if you're wearing these for much of a day (as I've tended to do when I'm working).

The sound quality is great. These aren't really going to match the higher end headphones, but they do well in comparison to the G930s. The bass is a bit lower, but the overall quality is strong. The surround nature is good, something that only comes out in gaming and there are times I heard something behind me, turned around, and realized it was the game. I've not had any background noise or hissing that some others have noted, maybe it's an audio card thing they're dealing with. Perfectly silent except for the sounds of game/music.

Negatives? None really. The only possibility is that these aren't really feature rich. The G930s have a lot more going on. The only buttons on these is for power and volume, while the G930s have quite a selection of options. I mostly only miss the mute button for the mic, so all in all the simplicity of these is actually just fine with me. Much more straightforward. I did have to use the small CD to install the right drivers, but after doing that it works very smoothly on my Windows 7 computer, switching over to these as default whenever I plug in the USB stick. I haven't had quite the success with battery life as others note. But that maybe I accidentally ignored the strong warning, "Charge before using!" and maybe got the battery a little off its memory. Or something, either way, charging is pretty easy with the included cable. It also comes with an extension for the USB stick so that you can position it in a better spot for signal.

All in all, I'm very pleased. The very slightly lower sound quality compared with my G930s is more than balanced by the better comfort.

EDIT:  Now that I've used the microphone more, I'm really disappointed with this part. There is a constant static that I can't get rid of (and which doesn't show up on other headsets).  I've gotten the sound of it a bit lower but it is still persistent.  Does it still rate 4 stars?  Depends on your use.  For general gaming it's not that much of a bother and the overall quality of the rest is still good. If you're using the mic a lot, however, it might be a consideration, or if, like me, you're using these for double duty with some voice audio recording tasks.  I'm going have to switch to another mic for doing that (and I have a much better mic, but it's not connected to a headset).
