This is an odd mix
By Pmo on Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2012
First off I grabbed this headset because it was cheap and I needed something to record podcasts. Now this is an odd item to review because its a mix or really bad and really good. The first thing I did when I got these was test out the voice recording. I was extremely surprised by how well this tiny mic reproduces my voice so accurately. Ive used a whole line of shure, mxl, blue, and audiotechnica microphones from condensers to dynamics, and this little mic just sounds better. It actually threw me for a loop as how well this thing sounds. The metal goose neck is a plus as well. But the whole head set is really poorly constructed. Its hardly adjustable, the ear cups are to small to fit anything, theyre barely attached as well, and theres a constant whirring sound coming from the headphones. And despite all that, the headphones actually sound really good. It doesnt make sense with how poorly and cheaply this thing is put together that it's audio is so good. And this is coming from an audiophile that listens to nothing but flac and wav files through my audio-technica ath m40's. So if you can get past how bad this thing is made, you'll be really happy with the audio you get out of this thing. This'll be the biggest bang for your buck easily. I bought 2 more for my podcast team. Also, my package was dropped off by some un-uniformed dude in an unmarked tan mini van. Said my package was enchanted. Looked pretty sketch to me, but hey, the box had amazon's logo on it.

A little less than sub par.

I chose these after shopping around and not wanting to step up to the next "tier" of $50+ USB headsets. I wish now that I had just made the jump. Sound quality is adequate, but not great. No complaints about the mic, it gets the job done. These things are quite uncomfortable--I can't wear them for more than an hour without having to adjust them because my ears hurt. I do have a larger-than-normal sized head, but even when adjusted, it feels like this thing is trying to squeeze my ears together. The worst thing about these is that they have a constant high pitched hum in the background 100% OF THE TIME. It will not go away. I'm basically just going to be using them until I can't stand it anymore, we'll see how long that is. It's quite possible that it's a defect with my pair, or perhaps some electronic interference from my PC--but they seem otherwise functional, and I've had several USB headsets without that happening If you're serious about using these to do gaming for long periods of time, I'd pass these by and just step up to the next level.
