Tt eSPORTS SHOCK ONE Diamond Black DTS 5.1 Gaming Headset HT-SHO001EC

Pros: - Good cord length if your comp is far away
- Good mic
- Nice controller on the cord for easy access to volume, lights, and mic.
- Comes with different ear cups if you don't like the default.
- Good software for controlling headset settings and properties

Cons: - Can break very,very,very easily be very gentle.
- Again the cord can be good and bad, If you happen to have your comp right next to you expect you cable to get twisted up very easily. Can lead to breaking the wires
- Mic can be very loud and bother people online but im just nit picking.

Other Thoughts: I have owned these headsets for a very long time. after about 4-5 months of owning these headsets the wire started to fray leading into the actual headset ( keep in mind that i treat my electronic very well). So i shipped it back to ttesports and they shipped a new one out, they have a very nice return policy. But i have had it for about another 4-6 months now and they are starting to break again. So i'm in the market for a new headset. But overall they are nice headsets if you treat them right

Pros: they worked perfectly for the first 3 months.. very comfortable and construction seemed to be good.

Cons: Right side earphone stopped working after 3 months.... Do some online research there are tons of complaints about this issue. Thermaltakes webpage is a real pain to try and get a RMA.. .It sends you to about 4 different "registration" pages to enter the same info over and over.

Other Thoughts: I do NOT recommend you buy these headphones, you will be sorry.

Pros: Great sound, not too tight but not too loose fitting. Mic is really good.

Cons: Don't last despite being cared for, wiring started to be a problem after 6 months, and finally gave up after 11 months leaving me with a single side functioning.
Also the drivers and software are atrocious to say the least!

Other Thoughts: Loved them for the 5.1 sound quality but disliked them for breaking easily. Could bare the drivers and software by ignoring it. But overall I wouldn't recommend them, quality doesn't seem to be high in regards to the wiring.

Pros: Sounds Great!
RMA response has been quick.

Cons: Like other users have mentioned, the wiring goes out with the first couple of months. Apparently, this is a common problem with this product.

Other Thoughts: I'm not hard to please with products. At a retail price or $116 for a headset, I expect excellent craftsmanship.

Pros: Really good sound quality, the DTS is good, and I like that all it takes to power this is one USB port. The volume mixer is good, and it has a "ON" "OFF" switch button for the lights on the headset witch is ok, bit useless if you ask me. Really like that you can bend them and take them pretty much anywhere.

Cons: After just a few months of using this the right speaker started going out. At first i thought it was the volume, but it wasn't. Every time i move the cable coming out of the volume mixer box, the right speaker flickers on and off, just like the lights do as well. Even with the rope looking cable it still wore off really quickly. I contacted the company since its still under warranty with them, but its a very very long and tedious process to get it replaced, so i decided to leave with it and try to not move the cable around at all.

Pros: Great sound quality and great mic quality

Cons: Wiring goes out after a month of use. Went through two sets and each one had the same problem of the sound coming out of the left ear. Now that the 90 day warranty is over I guess it's on to the next brand.

Other Thoughts: Would not recommend this to anyone. While it works the sound is amazing but for the money it should last longer than a month of use.

Pros: Sounded amazing and has a good microphone...when it worked.

Cons: The wiring came loose after only 2 months. I bought this $100 headset for the durability and quality. It failed me on the durability.

Pros: When it works, it works well. The user interface for the software is exceptional, real easy to become accustomed to. Interchangeable ear cushions were a plus. Comfortable for a few hours of just wearing and listening to music or playing games, great for a quick game with friends.

Cons: The sound quality was sub-par to my expectations. Within the first three days of ownership, the left ear started giving me problems with quality and then, producing any sound at all. Right ear started to do the same once left ear failed to produce any sound. Comfortable for a few hours of just wearing and listening to music or playing games, I do enjoy long gaming sessions though, and the comfort after about 2 hours was a little... lacking.

Pros: sound is great bass is great the software console for the sound is fantastic

Cons: USB headset...
i would have prefered to have the connectors i could plug into my xfi sound card which is useless when i use the headset... other then that all pros

Other Thoughts: i bought this a year ago in june, it is now late october 2012
and the sound no longer comes through, some sort of short in the wire i guess from use (i use this headset everyday im a pretty adamant gamer) actualy on the phone right now for a replacement with newegg (i purchased the 2 year replacement plan because i figured this would happen) not because the product is bad but because of the frequency of use

Pros: It's easy to install and use the software, and the mic is amazing. It's very good at only picking up your voice, which the people you're chatting with will appreciate. The sound quality is decent, and the volume can get very loud.

Cons: The sound quality isn't as good as I had hoped. Also, the strap puts a lot of pressure on the top of my head, which becomes very uncomfortable after an hour or two. If you game as much as I do, you'll probably run into the same problem.

Other Thoughts: I'm used to gaming with my Sennheisers on, so I'm kind of spoiled when it comes to sound and comfort.
