Fair Sound, Great Microphone, March 18, 2006
This is definitely not what I expected. It has "simulated" surround sound, and it requires AA battery if you want to simulate surroundsound. The battery lasts about a week if you use it constantly, 12 hours a day.
In all honesty, it is more of an echo than surroundsound. To me, it sounds like any other headset, just a bit louder. The microphone however is really good. I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8.0, and I noticed a tremendous accuracy increase when using this headset.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO PEOPLE WITH GLASSES:
The cup ear pieces press the glasses into your head. After about two hours, it gets quite uncomfortable. They fit very very snug around the ears, but this causes the ends of the glasses to poke into your head behind your ears. The headset is also quite tight, even after adjusting it.
To sum it up, the sound is fair, and the microphone is great.

Excellent Headset, March 9, 2006
Well worth the money. No complaints and everyone on TS/Vent can hear me 100 times clearer and louder than the "wrap behind the neck" Logitech type. The boom extends far enough out for my big head and picks up my voice very well. 1 AAA battery is required to hear the faux surround sound, which also acts as an amp to increase the volume. However, it should be noted, my onboard sound card is sufficiently loud without the battery. Just one complaint; I wish the cord was a foot longer, but that's probably just my situation.
The headset is comfortable, but like Alex, I need to re-adjust because like all headsets I've tried, it starts to hurt after awhile. Simply stretching the headset outward to loosen the spring resolved this issue for me.

Not Bad, Not Perfect Either, November 14, 2007
Good Sound Quality and people easily understand me over the microphone. The microphone also is on a pivot so it is easy to move out of the way when not in use.
The simulated surround sound is of marginal usefulness. If you are not utilizing any type of voice chat it is great. However, I have noticed a decrease in voice sound quality with the surround turned on.
They are comfortable for long term play, IF you do not wear glasses. They can be rather painful after only a short period of time if you do. This is a fairly common problem with all headsets though.
There is a volume control in the middle of the cord that is a little bulky and can get annoying. It also has the switch on it to turn the surround on/off. On the upside though, the headset appears very durable as it still works fine after being launched across the room multiple times when the volume control got caught on my clothing and I tried to walk away.
Overall its a good headset, but you can probably get the same sound quality much cheaper. I actually have a $15 pair of Sony headphones that gives equal or better sound quality, but alas, no microphone.
