Pros & Cons
Pros
The mic quality is the biggest downside here but otherwise it's a great headset for the price. The sound quality is exactly what you can expect from a $100 headset. Ignore the reviews saying the microphone is bad, it's perfect for gaming.
This headset is very comfortable. It remains secure on my head and is unnoticable even after hours of wearing it. The sound is great, the noise cancelling ability is decent. It has a very sleek design and very comfortable to wear. Not that heavy, comf... Read More

Highlights
Quality

Sound quality is exactly what you can expect from a $100 headset.

As a comparison, my friends tell me this mic sounds worse than my steelseries arctis 1 mic.
After beating these things up i'm staying with my 5-star review.
