I have never bought a headset just for gaming purposes, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I overall really like these headphones. I love the separate volume control. I stream with these and I still am figured out how audio works. But with my current settings and set up, the volume control allows me to hear the game without my alerts scaring me mid game. I haven’t tried the microphone yet, so I’m not sure about the mic quality. I have the wired set, so I’m not sure if the mic issues are the same as the wireless set. These aren’t that great at noise canceling, but I still can hear the game over outside noises. However, the sound quality is amazing compared to other headphones and earbuds I’ve tried. I didn’t expect them to be better than my old beats headphones, but I would use these in a heartbeat. They are decently comfortable as well. I do wear glasses and deal with pressure headaches, so I can’t wear them for longer than 2 or 3 hours. But without glasses, they feel pretty good. I’m overall happy with them and think they are worth the price I paid. Good headset if you are looking for a gaming headset but don’t want to break the bank on a fancy set.
