5.0 out of 5 stars bang for the buck, September 30, 2008

By	Robert B. Riley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

great headset. very nice sound quality. light enough to wear for hours of gaming. there is a mute button on the cord within easy access. the only annoying thing is the flashing light on on the volume control. electrical tape worked fine to fix that though. Great bang or the buck purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy, worst ever!, September 8, 2009

This "gaming" headset is terrible. The drivers will not install on any of the three computers I tried them on, nor will the ones available on the manufacturer's website. I did manage to get them to make noise, but you have zero control over the volume. The boom mic will not stay in position, it's very poorly made. The sound quality is awful and when I record anything on them there is a constant whine. They're terrible for Ventrilo, Skype, you name it they fail. The tech support on their website and FAQ are laughable. Save your money and buy something else, these were in the $35 range, I'd go with something from Logitech instead.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it, August 2, 2009

By	Maria Teresa Franco - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this headset expecting it to actually have Dolby 3D, but what I later come to find is that the sound quality is actually very mixed. There is no bass, so for a typical gamer, the sounds aren't very realistic. Music does not sound very crisp. You'd expect very high sound quality from something that costs so much and is USB.

The mic quality is pretty good, but you could attain better mic quality from cheaper headsets.

Very comfortable, I could wear this for hours, wraps around your ears perfectly.

NOT RELIABLE. I've had this headset for two months and I've already lost sound on the right side. I keep very good care of everything I buy, but this is just ridiculous.

All in all, an OKAY product, but you could find something better for $10 cheaper, may I recommend a plantronics?
