"NIce"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This headset is very sturdily designed, sometimes to the point where it can be draining to wear for long periods of time. If it had just a bit more padding and less weight to it, I could recommend it more readily.

I'd say for a budget pair until you invest in something more extreme, you can't go wrong here. The 5.1 Surround is barely noticeable sadly but handles Bass quite well.

"Worth it!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Amazing at this price range, Very solidly built, great sound, weather im playing L4D2 or BF3 these are great as far as sound quality and voice quality, nice lengthy thick cable and solid build on the headset makes this a mid-range budget gamers dream, you will not regret the decision, good deep base, my only warning is not to play with it on highest volume, could damage the ear drums!

Got this for my bro who is a keen gamer and he just loves them! He loves the surround sound which lets him hear more than ever before!

"Worth it! Not bad at all!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Sounds very good with lots of bass but not much treble. Gets really uncomfy on your head after awhile due no soft paddings and its heavy as well. All else good.

"For the price, they're actually pretty good."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I wear these at work. For stereo corded headphones, they got decent sound, and block out most ambient noice.

"Good budget headset"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A moderately priced headset providing you with quality mic and sound when you don't have much much to spend on a fancy headset.

"This is not a 5.1 device, nor are there virtual drivers for it."
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It's a sturdy entry level stereo headset, I wouldn't have bought it if they said it was stereo. They said it was 5.1, currently looking into this.

"Good but..."
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Had this headset for about 6 months and it was great! Good sound, Mic was good. After a while however I noticed that sitting in certain positions (leaning too far forward/too far back) would cause the headset to cancel out noise in 1 ear. Not long after that, it was all the time. Now, 6 months I feel is far too short for headphones, especially gaming ones.

"Terrible sound quality"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Mic is decent, and the headset is comfortable enough, but man oh man is the sound quality bad. No bass, and had to play with my PC's equalizer quite a lot before I could get it to sound somewhat normal. Do not recommend.

"Not bad at all"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I was a bit apprehensive because of the low price tag, but they're pretty good. Nice sound and comfortable to wear. If you have a very small head they might be too big though.

"they broke and the mic doesn't work"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

after 2 months or so when one of the earmuffs disconnected I could see the wire and one thing i noticed from the start is that the mic doesn't work I tried a adapter and one of them costs 24$ and still didn't work with the headset I recommend getting a 10$ to 30$ more headset than this.

"Good but too Tight"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Decent sound quality but headphones are extremely tight fitting around ears, cheap way of creating noise cancellation I guess…

"Heavy and uncomfortable"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The head phones were very heavy and squeezed my ears far too much. The sound quality isn't all that great and the microphone doesn't come down low enough although the mic is decent quality.

"Really decent heatset"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Overall really good heatset, clear sound, clear mic sound, comfortable, etc. Only con is the mic can only move about 100 degrees and is not detachable.

"Headache first, Got used to it"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

First 2 days the headphones were tight on the head and gave me a headache untill it as been stretched out and now its fine

"Beautiful Headset"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A really well made headset in my opinion, the only problems I find is the mic can only be used on the left side, and that it can start to put strain on my neck and head after a long duration of use. Other than that it's a brilliant headset.

"Great bang for the buck"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

They have great microphone and speaker quality and they are comfortable on my head, when I first got them they were tight on my head but a bit of stretching solved it. The top strap doesn't have much padding so I am going to fix that by sticking foam to it to make the headset perfect. I'm so glad I bought these.

"Grand Sound, Bad Mic"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Great sound quality indeed. When I proceeded to Skype with a few friends or in-game chat, my voice sounded so soft my friends couldn't make out whether it was me or not- My head experienced being squeezed, serious tightness thing going on. Aesthetically nice looking but a pain for me to wear and use.

"Great for the price"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Sound is clear, im told I sound clear through the mic, cord is nice and long, headphone cups are comfortable though why they need the little frankenstein bolt like dials for adjusting sound lvl in each ear I dont know lol. All in all im happy with the purchase I just hope they last I tend to fall asleep with them on and I go through many headsets because of this. I guess not many are made with sleeping in mind

"The feeling of a nail hammered into your skull.. DO NOT BUY"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is extremely uncomfortable, I cant wear it for more than 5 minutes without having pain from the arch of the headphones. I now have to wear a beanie to mask this problem, even then it still hurts after a while! On the left speaker the bass is horrible and doesnt work, I am very disappointed. DO NOT BUY!

"Awesome"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Super awesome sound quality. Really appreciate the on time delivery. Reliable as always!

"Excellent headset for someone buying on a budget!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Excellent headset if you're on a tight budget! Although the over head piece can be a little uncomfortable at the first use it grows on you! 5/5 for me!

"LoVe It :D"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Good for recording videos on my pc :)

"Good sound"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Sound quality is good. Heavy headphones, can ache after long periods of time

"Acceptable for the price"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This headset is not what it is cut out to be, it is a very budget and extremely uncomfortable headset to wear, after merely only a few minute of playing games my ears and neck were in much discomfort from the headset, the balance knobs on the earmuffs were also faulty and the mic was broken upon unboxing which left a bad mark on me hence the reason why I gave it such as harsh rating

I don't recommend this headset unless you desperately need a gaming headset.
