5 out of 5 eggsbetter than my expectations

Pros: Price. USB. Looks good. I can hear where my enemies are coming from in shooters(saves my live a lot). Sound quality is awesome for this price range.

Cons: For the first week it used to hurt in the ears after ~2 hours of gaming.
Sometimes I find it too loud.
mic is ugly but works good

Other Thoughts: buy it, you won't regret it.

5 out of 5 eggsPretty Good

Pros: Surprising sound quality and decent noise cancelling for the price. Most inexpensive USB headset I managed to find.

Cons: You know those riveted drink straws that you find on large sized fountain drinks at gas stations that help keep the straw in place on the cup? That's basically the same technique used to hide the mic on this headset. The mic doesn't seem to come out as much as you would expect either, so be careful when pulling it out from the headset for the first time.

Other Thoughts: Despite the annoyance with the mic outlined above, I'd still give this headset a 5. The sound quality I've experienced so far has exceeded my expectations greatly, and for $15 it's hard to have a serious complaint about it.

4 out of 5 eggsSurprised

Pros: Wow... Is all I can say. So much better than I expected. I get freaked out everytime I turn around and see my roommate on the desk behind me since i didn't even hear him entering! Very sturdy and quality sound

Cons: Hurts after awhile, but that is around 2-3 hours.

Other Thoughts: Very impressed. Cool that the mic can be pushed in the headset.

2 out of 5 eggsNot circumaural

Pros: - Decent sound quality
- Compact

Cons: - Not circumaural
- Tiny

Other Thoughts: First of all, for those who don't already know. A circumaural headset is one who's earpads go AROUND the ears. Supra-aural on the other hand sit ON TOP of the ears.

I bought this headset in particular because of the price, it's USB, and it's circumaural; or that's what Rosewill wants you to believe.

I have a slightly-below-average head and ear size. So normally I have no problem with circumaural headsets going around my ears. But the earpads on this headset sit directly on top of my ears and since they're new the headset is like a vice. Needless to say I was only able to wear the headset approximately 10 minutes before my ears were hurting and I had to take the headset off. I won't be putting it back on. If you're like me and you can't stand having earpads press on your ears then you should look elsewhere.

How Rosewill lists this headset as circumaural I'll never know

1 out of 5 eggsGarbage.

Pros: Sounds quality was fine.
Mic was loud.

Cons: The stupid mic design of how it "hides" was a stupid, stupid choice. After having it for one week in which I didn't even use that much nor did I even drop it now I have a constant buzzing background sound that's loud.

Other Thoughts: This mic is trash like all headsets.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,
Will the buzzing happen at certain times or will it happen at all times? Are you able to try the headset with another USB port to see if it does the same thing? If you are using the front panel USB ports, try the ones on the motherboard and see if that makes a difference. If you are still having issues after that, please contact the Rosewill support team either via phone at 800-575-9885 or via email at techsupport@rosewill.com.
Thanks,
Rosewill Customer Care

5 out of 5 eggsTotally loving this

Pros: I just received this product, this product is purely amazing for its price. VERY LOUD I LOVE IT!! I put my master volume at 1% and still loud. i am kinda afraid to hear 100% with this headset. I have 5.1 logitech speakers and thought they were loud. I do not know what other people (critics) are thinking, They are not cheaply made nor they feel uncomfortable. Unless you have bigger head than i do (im about 190 lbs btw) you will be okay with the comfortableness. This headset perfectly fits on my head (this is as far it can stretch LOL). For 12 dollars, this is the, i mean THE best headset you can find in this world unless you buy a used good headset cheaply.

Cons: If it had a lil more bass it wouldve been perfect.

Other Thoughts: Thank you newegg and rosewill for the headset
