This video shows off the mic quality and the headset's features.
**Update 2/10/2013**
Well, it has been over a year since this review.
The headset itself has held up to lots of use and even drop abuse.
The one thing that I would like to note (which is why I gave it a 4 star in the first place) it is a cheap headset, so the wiring is where they cut corners. The wires themselves are very tiny, and re-soldering is impossible (I found this out when my pet chewed through my first pair.) The second headset I received has had issues after a year of use, the little control box on the wire is put together cheaply and can cause static if the volume level is maxed. The microphone also has a tendency to go out so I have to tug on the wire from the box to get it to work.
However, my brother who still has his original pair has had no issues at all.

This does not come with a USB hook up. I'm personally happy about that. It frees up my other two USB ports. It comes with a two pronged hook-up, for the microphone port and the headphone port. You can plug in just one or both, depending on your needs.
Just make sure you have a mic and headphones port on your computer, the small round ones. (I don't know the technical term.)
If I just want to listen to music, I can use the headset alone. If I just need the mic, I can unplug the headphone jack from the port and have my computer's sound come through the speakers. The mic still functions.
It's very comfortable, unlike some headphones. I can wear it for hours and forget I have it on. The sound is great, and the microphone seems to work well for my gaming needs.
One tiny negative would be that it encloses your ears completely. So hearing the sounds around you can be somewhat difficult. That can be a positive as well, though, since it blocks out other noises.
Over all, this is a great uncomplicated device. I plugged it in, and it worked!

Yapster TM-YW100A - nice sound quality, sensitive mic. I checked mic in Corel Video Studio Pro X2. Recording quality: loud, clear, no white noise. I liked it. Sound is great also! Good enough bass and high frequencies.
Fit exactly for my ears. Feels a little tight, but if you want to unbend it be aware that it is plastic under soft leather so be careful.
Headphones have volume control, mute button. Both work so far flawlessly.
Very nice design. Mid size. Cord 168 cm though not 2.2m as in description, but it's still long enough to not pluck off if you will stand up suddenly. The mic handle is very pliable and long enough for anybody's head. It's about 7.5'' or 19 cm from plastic part of center of connection with headphone to the end of plastic part of microphone. You can bend it on anyway you want. Very handy!Other characteristics:
3.5 mini-jack;
Microphone:
Noise reduction design (however I'd recommend adjust it lower otherwise your breath from nose will be heard);
Omni-directional;
Frequency response: 30 - 16Khz
Sensitivity: -59 db
Headphones:
Frequency response: 20 - 20KHz
Sensitivity: 100db
Max power input 50mW
Right price, right size, right headphones with microphone - right on, right on!
Update: 6 months later I bought some unbranded VOIP/SKYPE Headset w/Microphone which was cheaper and I regretted it. As old says don't buy to cheap - you'll pay twice. It was a step down after Yapster. So, on the second day I ordered from Yapster and received (in couple days) my well known TM-YW100A. It's my second headset (first one was taken from me by my kid) and I still happy with it. Microphone quality is outstanding and so sound quality.... Read more ›

Maybe this is old news to everyone but I just wanted to let you all know this works on the PS3. You need a few more components but the cost of this headset + the necessary components adds up to roughly $35 bucks. You need to get a USB "sound card", like the one made by Syba (Amazon sells it), so you can plug in the microphone. Now the PS3 does not allow sound to be outputted via the USB, so you'll have to use the good old RCA cables (your PS3 should have come with those old school RCA + Video cables). You'll need a RCA to 3.5 mm adapter (female / female) - this will allow the PS3 rca cables to plug into the adapter, and you can then plug your headset into the 3 same adapter. If you're relatively far away from the TV like me, you'll need the extension cables. If you check out the setup for the Turtlebeach PX21, you'll see that the audio out is handled basically the same way.
As far as sound quality, it sounds pretty good. I can generally tell the direction the opponent is coming from, and I immediately went from a horrendous multiplayer gamer to just a pretty lousy one. For $14.99 this headset does the job and more.

this is a circumaural headset, which means, it captures sound from 360 degrees while playing in a first person shooter pc game. i find the bass very deep for a headset. this affordable headset is excellent. did alot of research to enhance my gaming and spent needless amounts of money to find that "perfect" headset for under $30, and i finally found a "near perfect" one.
PROS:
great bass sound
great surround 3D immersive feel
good quality mic
mic length adjustable
mic on/off switch
volume control
CONS:
headset kinda feels flimsy. don't care, it's cheap.
cord is only 6 feet long, good for me, hate tripping over cord.
earpiece feels kinda tight but comfortable, may irritate ear cartilage with prolonged usage.
overall:
i'm still amazed at the quality of sound this thing produces! when i first put this on and got into a game...i said to myself, "WOW!". the old saying..."you get what you pay for" isn't true at all in this case.
