    High quality, and very comfy!5
    This headset is pretty bulky-looking when you are wearing it, but it makes up for this by being really light and very comfortable. With some headsets excessive use can leave your ears quite sore in places, however I have yet encounter any such problems in this case (and i have used them for quite a few extended gaming sessions so far).

    The sound quality is excellent, the difference I noticed going from my previous pair (which admittedly were bought on a much smaller budget), was so great it spurred me to open up amazon and give this a good review!
    Of this headset's audio am most impressed by the bass; it really adds alot more depth to those explosions :)

    The detachable microphone is a good idea; i haven't had any problems with it, however I usually leave it connected so i don't lose it! The sound quality you get from it is pretty good too.

    The size of the headset (the band which goes over your head) can be adjusted, as with most headsets. I needed to make the band as short as possible to get the perfect fit, and my head isn't particularly small, so if you have a smallish head it may not fit too well.

    Overall i'd say its well worth your money even if you aren't much of gamer; it works very well for music and Skype too.

    ** Very impressive headset for Gamers5
    Installed the headset this morning.

    Running on Vista Home Basic 64x.

    Audio Sound quality from MP3 or CD's is amazing...Very clear..All transients are spot on, and with a noticeable depth around the instruments. I have never been a fan of closed headphones, but these sound so clear and not muffled. To be honest these should not sound this good for £43 headphones!

    Next, tried the EAX settings out with Bioshock, and again very impressive with good 3D positional audio. Plenty of power in the volume and I'm running them at less than 50% volume. I have left all audio settings at default.

    Also, tried WARHAMMER ONLINE, and they sound superb. Now you notice everything happening around you. WAR will sound even better when they enable EAX support.

    Have not tried voice chat over Vent \ TS yet, but the removable mic is again well designed, and sound quality through TS is very very clear.

    Headphones very comfortable with just the right amount of padding everywhere to hold them securely in place, but without feeling restrictive. After a while you forget you have these on your head, and just get immersed in the sound.

    Recap:
    Comfort - A+
    Sound - A+

    Buy a pair now.. They are superb....!!

    Get a pair of these and be blow away by the quality of the sound.

    great sound quality ,but a bit flimsy4
    You cant argue with th sound quality,i can hear people sneaking up behind me on cod4 trying to stab me in the back,no more i can hear the the sods,good bass , good with dvds and music not bad,sound quality is comparable too more expensive headphones,the only down side is the build quality is bit weak ,just handle with care.
