I've used this headset a lot for online gaming and I can say I really like em. The mute button on the sleeved wire is useful and they are very comfortable.

This headset is pretty darn good. The head phones go around your ears and are quite comfortable and the sound is clear and concise with different versions of sounds settable through the included disc program. The microphone is clear and works well over skype after a quick sound level customization and can be bent toward or away from your mouth in case you're snacking during a movie or games with friends. The audio portion of the headset doesn't leak to the microphone like I've had happen with other headsets, where people can hear on the mic what I'm hearing (Music etc) and outside noise is sufficiently cancelled out for uninterrupted use. The wire is braided and feels strong and is quite flexible and is quite long (Most headsets I've thrown away are due to the wire being to weak and wearing out).My only quarrel with this headset is that the volume control and mic muting control on the wire gets warm or even hot to the touch from the bright lights inside of it. It's a little alarming, but.. meh.5/5 Stars, would buy again for the price I got it at. ($49.99 down from $99.99)

It's a decent headset, does what you need it to do. Since it's USB, you need to be careful starting games before plugging in your headset. If the game or application is not DX10 enabled, it won't switch your sound over to your headset. Not a knock against this headset in particular, just USB in general.Otherwise, not a lot of bass and directional sound is weak.The sound quality is good though and the people I've spoken to about it, say my voice is very clear as well.Their software isn't all that great.

Definitely a great set of headphones for the first year of use... shortly near the end of the year - two things happened (which apparently IS common) ... #1 - the microphone would not stay in position - would always fall to lowest unless locked in up position.#2 - the wire that connects to the main headphone started going wonky - making headphones and mic cut out.BUT - Like always - Corsair's RMA is top-notch - they sent me the new version of these which are AMAZING. Better sound, and construction wise - t hey learned from their mistakes :)Definitely a good buy considering when they do break (cause they will!) - Corsair will replace with the new model ;)

This is a very flimsy product and broke after 6 months. Turned the plastic piece of the side a bit to hard and it broke. Eventually sent it in to rma to corsair after the mic stopped working.

I've had it for a week I love the Corsair software that comes with it sound is amazing for a USB headset (Doesn't use a amp or sound card)Feel great on the head and very comfortable. Mic sounds amazing and the noise cancelation really helps when on skype and gaming (if you have a loud computer) Love the Headset would buy another one any-day - Shouldn't need to amazing Build Quality plus 2 year Corsair Warranty

This headset is so comfy, sometimes I forget that it's on my head.

Comment:
very very good deal, sound is good, paddings are very comfortable, i could wear these for hours but they are kinda heavy

Comment:
I have full faith that if there are no unexpected problems with this headset, the quality and comfort it provides is outstanding for the price.However, I have bought this headset for two of my friends, and both of them have had problems. The microphone wouldn't work at all for one (and he never bothered returning it), and one earpiece isn't working for the other (I am RMAing it).

Comment:
got these on sale last year, cant complain on the price and sound quality, and you get nice paddings too non-velour type which i like since they dont collect dust and dirt much. you could always solder the wires back together if they break. mic is excellent too

Comment:
I dont recommend these to anyone cause i bought 3 of them for me and my friends and they all had the same problems. After a short time one side of the headphones stopped working first and then both sides stopped working, for no reasons cause we were taking care of them. so dont bother buying these they don't worth it

Comment:
They will break. My friend had 2 before he got tired of taking them back to Corsair, then mine broke and I fixed them with tireraps, but today they gave up.

Comment:
Overall this is an okay headset. I am still pleased with the very comfortable padding this headset has, and the virtual surround. However, this headset's microphone is VERY quiet. At first I could barely hear myself when I tested the microphone. The way I fixed it was to enhance it using "Low Frequency Protection" and "Loudness Equalization". Even then it is a tad quieter than other microphones, and it can be a bit of a nuisance when I'm streaming Sc2 with music in the background.
