Bought these headphones after I realized I could not torture my roomate with loud noise at night. Here are my thoughts:Build Quality: Excellent. I've bought a few Turtle Beaches around this price point, and many have a chinsy plastic construction. Not these. Headband is secure, plastic is rugged, and the sides are a steel mesh. Microphone is solid and folds in and out easily. Sides light up, and the on-ear fabric is solid.Comfort: Incredibly comfortable for short-medium amounts of time. However, these headphones will tend to envelop those with smaller ears, sometimes pushing the users ear against the inside. Not really an issue, but when wearing for extended periods of time these will begin to get uncomfortable. Not a breaking point, all headphones are the same way.Audio Quality: The bass is impressive for forty bucks. Sound is deep and robust. A friend who played the Battlefield One Beta with them commented that the audio quality made it that much more immersive. The headphones vibrated with each explosion and gunshot, making these excellent not only for gaming but for music and video as well.Microphone Quality: The Microphone is a neat feature on this set. When you don't want to use it, simply fold it up into the left earpiece. Keep in mind that folding in the mic de-activates it. (ie no input). No issues with people hearing me, quality is clear and loud.What about the software? There is software available for download but I can't even recommend it. Takes up loads of space and it doesn't even do much. It works fine just by plugging in the USB.TL;DR: Solid pair of headphones for the price, I don't think you can be disappointed in this purchase.
