If you truly enjoy listening to glitchy cymbals, rattly bass, and mediocre sound depth, with a dash of crap battery life, then this headset really isn't for you. I've found words and basslines within songs that I wasn't aware were there to begin with. I pulled this sucker out of the box, plugged in the dongle, and popped on some tunes, and here I am, four hours later, still listening to this full-bodied, solidly bassy music, having not plugged the actual headset in to charge since then. I'm furious that there isn't any rattles at all, and that this thing gets so loud it's hard to think, because I've never had a headset that did that. Don't even get me started on the comfort. Glasses? You would think the around-ear design would press down on the frames and cause major discomfort, but to my chagrin these pads are so comfortable and flexible I might forget they're even on my head. The headband adjustment is firm, but flexible, the ear cups rotating to fit my head, and I can't stand just how nice it feels.
I am so upset that they don't charge more for the quality of product I've gotten here.
(For real, these things are amazing. For the kind which enjoy a more simplistic aesthetic to their headset, strive for comfort, and want depth to their music that isn't really shown by other "gaming" headsets at a comparable price, there is no alternative. This headset has amazing battery life, is comfortable as I've ever had a set of headphones, and is made of a sturdy configuration. The wireless really does reach around 40 feet, but I'd recommend to have the dongle vertical if you can. I also recommend to use iCue's "Bass Boost" EQ setting, as it brings out depth to the music and sounds, surprisingly without sacrificing sound quality to distortion, rattles, clipping, or starving the treble out of it. Definitely worth the buy. Only gripe is about the mic being on the left-hand side and a bit in the way if you want to drink something left-handed, as any gamer would while keeping their hand on the mouse."
