Incredible sound which accompanied very good evening of play however after 3 years of merry and loyal service it left me in the hands, but I advise it
I'm switching from €30 AKG studio wired headphones to these wired headphones (I like wires).
The sound is just as good, if not better (as far as my hearing goes), the surround effect is good, but it really depends on the games/movies you feed the headphones.
The cable is very long, but you do have to connect it to some sort of intermediate controller, allowing you to mix sound and chat (dispensable).
It's quite pleasant to wear, but a bit heavy and tends to press on the ears after several hours (I'm wearing thin glasses).
Finally, the design is interesting, although it's already been updated on more recent models, although it's a shame that some strategic areas for the life of the headphones have been (deliberately) made of plastic rather than metal...
So it remains to be seen in the long term, but for the moment I'm happy with it.
Very comfortable on the head and no pain in the ears even after several hours of gaming/video.
Lacks a bit of bass (very slight crackling but you can ignore it).
After having used this headset very regularly at author of 6 to 7h part day during a period of 1 years and 3 months, I can say to you that it is of very good quality level sound, rather comfortable on the other hand the clip of the ear-phones is really fragile. It broke simply by removing it at the level of the attachment of this one and seen that this kind of breakage is not taken into account in the guarantee, its expensive paid for a helmet irrecoverable. I have not had any complaints so far.
Conclusion: If you are looking for a good quality headset to use reasonably it should do the trick but if you are looking for a long term headset it will probably not last the distance not because of the false contact or the earpiece that doesn't work anymore but because of its structure that doesn't age very well.
It's a very good headset, if not the best I've tested and used.
It's very comfortable even after a whole day of gaming, very pleasant to wear.
I use it on a mixamp astro, the audio is just sublime, very good spatialization, bass and treble, the microphone is clean no crackling.
The only downside is the 2nd one I ordered, the 1st one will have lasted 3 years in intensive use :p (hundreds of hours of play, see 1000h minimum)
I recommend it.
