writing this after 6 months of almost daily usage. upgraded to this from a logitech g430 which were an awesome budget pair of headphones btw. previously purchased and returned a pair of steelseries arctis 5 headphones which are similarly priced to these and did not like them at all, mic quality was a little better but comfortability and sound quality were incredibly subpar.pros-comfort- these are super awesome, first pair of headphones ive owned that i can wear literally all day and have no ear or head fatigue-sound- they're noticeably a little bit better for games and music so no problems there. usually when im having sound issues its a problem with the game not the headset. i keep my volume level at 10 on windows and still turn them at least halfway down in the game settings of whatever it is that im playing so these things definitely have a lot more room to get louder if you choose to do so.-removable mic-if you're upgrading from a wired headset you will never go back-mute and volume buttons very conveniently positioned-stay on my average sized head pretty well-the convenience you get from being able to walk around your whole house and not have to take off your headphones so you can still listen to your friends/music/videos is so awesomecons-battery- maybe the pair i got were slightly dysfunctional but these definitely don't last 30 hours on full charge. yes i have the lights on the side turned completely off but even then the battery will probably last only 15-20 hours fresh off a full charge.-volume wheel- again not sure if mine are defective but the wheel is extremely sensitive and constantly gets adjusted when rubbing against my chair- not a problem if you hunch forward while gaming but becomes annoying if youre just chilling listening to music/videos-software- kinda useless, no EQ settings but if youre a sound noob like me and dont know what to do with them anyways then its no big deal these sound good pretty good to me-mic quality- doesnt sound like im talking through a microwave at least but only a slight upgrade from the g430's i was using before which is good enough i guess. friends tell me i sound loud so they have to turn me down but at least it doesnt pick up things like my keyboard clacking-profile- look like your typical bulky gamer headphones but unless your phone has a standard usb 2/3.0 port i cant imagine youll be walking around with these in public anywayconclusionall of the cons i mentioned were really just minor inconveniences so overall im more than satisfied with these headphones. the value you get for youre money at this pricepoint id say is pretty fair if not at the very least much better than what you get with most other brands
