TLDR: I wear glasses and headsets dig into my head causing me pain and leaving marks into my skull from pressing my glasses into my head etc. These have not (at least not yet).. and I am so excited. They feel roomy and nice, I was wearing them when I didn't even need to cause I just don't mind them all day long. (SO NICE!)
I had to write this, I only had them like 2 days now. Wore them all day today and I cannot believe I'm not in pain like I have been from my hyper x cloud 2. My other headset broke. The mic just doesn't work. So I needed a new one. I didn't put much thought into this, It was a good price and kind of impulse bought it after making sure it was in fact a USB connection because I can't deal with finding the right port for the circle ones/jacks. (I am very tired).
I wear glasses, my headsets tend to dig and cause pain into my head. These are not... very roomy feeling. My only gripe as my other headset mic could come out. I could move the headset any way and put the cord on either side of me. These I have to wear them one way only. But that's not a big deal tbh. I like the cord to dangle on my RIGHT side. But it is on the left and has to cross over me. But whatever. I can work on solving that some other time.
I totally didn't realize the RGB colors changing on the sides, pretty neat. Mic and sound are nice. People are not complaining about not hearing me etc. Very nice. I've had issues with discord in the past but no issues atm. (Not sure if it was headset related at all).
I may want to get a stand for them or something just because. Very happy with my purchase so far! (Also thanks to the company for shipping it so fast! )
Update: I reviewed this Feb 10-22. Updating now jul 28-22. This review is getting notice so I figured I might as well update. I'm able to wear this with my glasses for long periods, I game daily with friends talking etc. I find them to be quite comfortable. As far as discord goes, I only got the error of my friends not being able to hear me a couple of times. What resolved that was just closing and restarting the app. Restarting computer. Things like that. I think it's discords issue tbh. Anyways. I found also as I wear glasses, that my glasses weren't fitting me that great, and I needed a wider frame so it didn't cut into my head as much, that also helped with head discomfort. It also stood up to my cats chewing at the mic end. I'm so glad they I can retract it during storage.
Edit:9-30-22. I got another notice for this. So here's some more. I got really busy with life etc so I haven't been gaming or using this much. But when I did use it for the weekend all day they were great! But I noticed when taking them off my ears enjoyed the break. Lol like I'm not used to having stuff around my ears anymore. But still really like these. And no issues with them. They work great. Using discord, people can hear me. My cats love to gnaw on the mic still. I'm really glad I can retract the mic and then I flip the headset over -so Mic faces downward(didn't buy stand, just put them on my PC tower). If I leave it up they with try to sell gnaw at it. Or My cat loves to then gnaw the cord for my attention. I usually stop to give attention so they aren't doing it to long per attention seeking session overall. Cord is going strong, no frays yet.
Hope this continues to help. I hate refunding things myself. Good luck, take care.

Over-complicated and Convoluted... 7.1... Pffft
My reviews are detailed. If you want the short and thin, it's a good product, but buckle up for a wild ride to get what you think you paid for. 7.1 surround is not easily obtainable.Now, I should start by explaining that I am very technical. I am a software developer who for ten years ran a custom to order computer company that catered to enthusiasts with hefty hardware and software needs to target specific gaming goals.The device is gorgeous, durable, sounds awesome, super comfy, has a very nice feel to the cord, and my favorite feature: the physical mute button when you squeeze the extendable, flexible microphone is super satisfying... and glows red when you're on mute. The style and look is absolutely inspiring, and all this other stuff is awesome...yet I still can't run this thing in 7.1.They say there's a code to enter in the Synapse app. They say after you register the product you'll get the code (your serial number is under one of your ear pads, BTW... You're welcome). They also say that this is virtual 7.1 based off 5.1 technology, and most games only support 5.1 anyway. They ALSO say that if you want to you can pay for a new code to subscribe to the ability to use 7.1 features. I would sooner sell it than to pay a subscriber fee to use my own headphones.So after three days of messing with this thing I've totally given up on some email they claim to have sent, some code to enter into another software suite they want me to download, and expected software letdowns from the games I play that don't support 7.1 anyway.I don't see a need for all this hubbub... just pack the ability with the product and make the software run it... there's no reason for this "enter a code to get another code to download a new bit of software to enter another code" crap. That may have been exciting for 12 yearolds in the 90's but we just want it to work. For the love of all that is holy... for the prices we pay, just make it work!
