When I say these are great quality, I am comparing to various headsets I have used such as Plantronics GameCom 780 Open Ear Gaming Headset; with it being the same or higher quality than this (in my opinion :P)! The quality of sound is amazing and perfectly suitable for gaming, with the microphone being very clear.One problem I found was that when I first used them on Skype, they were really loud both transmitting from the microphone and from he headphones part. This was easily remedied by lowering the Skype microphone settings to about one bar, and changing the volume on the cord for the headphones. Only had them for one day, so like other reviews I can't tell you about how long they will last,

I got this headset just yesterday and so far it isn't bad. I plug them into my television only to find out that they're actually quite quiet compared to other headphones I have had. Not only that, but after 20 minutes of use my ears started to ache. Quite disapointed. The microphone works as you'd expect on such a cheap product, but people can hear you and you can hear them and that's all you can ask really. The quiet sound can be dealt with, you can still hear things absolutely fine but for anyone wishing to bust their eardrums listening to bad music with this then look elsewhere.Noise cancellation is quite good actually. I can't hear my annoying next door neighbours singing when this are plugged in.Regardin the wires,

I am extremely happy with this headset and would definitely recommend or buy again. For the price you are getting something that does exactly what you would hope. I do especially like the design with the green highlights and white pattern.I tend not to be great at telling sound quality but it seems great as far as I am concerned, not the best ever but easily good enough for listening to a bit of music or playing games. Similarly with the microphone, I am sure it could be better but with headsets you do not expect studio quality recording and it sounds very nice and crisp to me.Inline volume control is actually very useful and at just the right place on the cable to be out of the way but

Very handy. I use it for Skype, webinars and even just for listening to music as it has good bass to it. The only problem I had was not realising that this has two separate pin plugs (don't know the technical term), one to plug into a microphone socket and the other to plug into a headphone socket in order for the mic and sound to both work. I tried a usb adapter thing so I could use both at the same time as I only have a headphone socket on my laptop but it didn't work. I eventually bought an adapter that puts the mic and earphone cable into one and plugs into the earphone socket and now it works perfectly :) I'd advise people buying this to make sure they have the correct connecting sockets but if not,

The microphone on this is brilliant, which is what I bought it for. I play counter strike and decided I would like a mic. I was playing with a friend the other day and he said he could actually hear me speaking to my girlfriend downstairs while he waited for me (headset was on my desk)!The actual headphones are pretty bad, but they do a job. They are quite tinny, and not all that comfortable, but when I'm playing an online shooter I'm not too bothered about that anyway, as long as you can clearly hear when people are sneaking up on you etc (which you can), then that's fine.Recommended if your looking for a cheap option with a good mic, but not if you want great sound quality.

I bought these for watching films on my pc without disturbing the rest of the household when they are watching tv. The ear cups cover the whole ear so reducing the effect of external noise and preventing sound leaking out and disturbing people around you. The cups are well padded for comfort and the adjustable headband means they fit both myself and my kids. No idea how long they will last but for a little over a tenner I'm quite happy to buy another pair when these wear out.

Sound quality very good indeed but I haven't had the product long enough to establish its durability within a classroom learning environment hence the 'like it' 4 star rather than the 'love it' 5 star rating. If durable would allocate 5 star.Delivery problem:Delivery of 2nd parcel was suspect and was not made to our office within a specified time and was signed for by a person unknown to our company, presumably in another office.Dr Colin LaneArrow Self-Voice

it gave me a microphone that was good enough for people to understand me through and decent enough sound quality, however the earmuffs are very shallow and after a couple weeks my ears had been imprinted by the squashing against the earmuffs. After upgrading to a higher end headset there is very noticeable difference in clarity of sound and microphone quality. But this is a very good cheap start.

Purchased this from Amazon over 6 months ago and has been working perfectly with no issues. For the price it's excellent.The unit is very light and fits fine. The build quality is ok, but given the price I'm happy that it has lasted well.I use it a few times each day for Skype calls in a noisy office environment and for this it's great.Am about to purchase 3 more for others in the office.

Bought these headphones for the occasional Skype and to watch movies when its late and the house have gone to bed for the evening.They fit quite comfortably, have a green (headphone) and pink (mic) audio plugs and have a volume control on the wire to which is quite handy.Headphones look quite nice, and they are quite comfortable and light and fit wellFor the price they do the job nicely

This is a great headset for the money, these replaced over the ear Sony headphones I had previously used, but had no microphone. The only small disadvantage about these headphones, comparing them to my Sony ones, they are quite a bit quieter. Overall they are great, they fit my head fine and are adjustable, I have also been told by others on vent/skype that the microphone is clear and loud.

I have brought four of these headsets (my cat likes to chew wires) which I think says a lot! The audio quality is excellent and the microphone picks up sound really well with no background noise. They are extremely comfortable and definitely suitable for watching videos, online chat or recording. Definitely one to recommend over more expensive headsets I have had.

They work and are easy enough to use. Good price for what you get. Really, they need twenty words for this thing? I mean, whatever happened to just rating something and leaving it at that? Do we really need an essay with every purc-what...ah, I appear to be rambling.Erm, in review buy these because they're awesome. I'm off to get some Skittles now.

For its price, the quality of this product is excellent! The sound (and mic) quality is good and it is comfortable enough to wear for hours daily. Also the ear pads are big enough to cover the ears and block outside noises, so I sometimes wear them even when I am not listening to anything (if the weather is not too hot!). I definitely recommend it!

Item arrived before alloted time. For the price the headphones are suprisingly good, the sound quality is excellent and very durable and i use these to play World of Warcraft and other games on my Pc. If your on a budget and looking for a set of headphones you could do much worse, i would recommend these to those who dont want to spend a lot.
