I've had this headset around 8 months now and so far it's held up perfectly. It's very lightweight and comfortable to wear, so much so that I usually forget that I'm wearing them until about 5–6 hours in without a break when they start to get uncomfortable. Although I have to wear glasses so it might be a couple more hours of comfort for someone who doesn't have to.
The pads are made of a soft foam covered by a breathable fabric. However, while this makes them soft to wear, it doesn't make them noise cancelling at all. And I wouldn't recommend them to someone looking for any noise cancellation.
The audio quality is very good and immersive and the inbuilt volume control is very useful. The drivers work on a closed-type format.
The only downfall of the whole headset is the microphone. There is no inbuilt mic mute or volume controls for one thing. And on its own it picks up too much white noise, and any voice it picks up is too soft to be heard. So to fix it you need to go to microphone properties, give it a 30 decibel boost, and enable noise cancellation (which some pcs don't have – like my Acer laptop – so I'd check before buying). Only then, will the mic sound good.
The headset is connected by 3.5mm mic and audio jacks, along with a 2.0 usb which powers the LEDs. I keep the usb unplugged more often than not since I don't usually have a free port for it.
The cord itself is around 2 metres long, which long enough to easily move around a bit without restriction, but still short enough so that you're not swimming in cables. I've also never had an issue with it getting knotted or twisted with itself or most other cords.
Overall this is a good headset with some fixable downfalls. Which I would recommend to those willing to pay a bit more for an entry-level headset, or those who are looking to step up from the $10-$50 price range.
