Pros: Good sound quality. Mic picks up very well and sounds clear. They appear to be built well and are very comfortable. I had them on for 4 hours last night flight sim'n it and didn't have any problems in the comfort department. If you search around the net you'll find other reviews and there all good witch is why I bought these instead of going for a higher priced set.
Cons: This is not really a con for me but it might be for you. There isn't an in line volume control or mic mute switch.
Other Thoughts: I can't hear my wife when she yells at me in the computer room with these on. Could be a Pro could be a Con you'll have to decide that one for yourself. Ordered late Friday before Newegg even said shipped they were waiting on my doorstep Monday after work. Newegg shipping for the Win!

Good headset for the price

Pros: Good general headset with basic features and decent construction for the price. The ear pieces have a nice "fold in" feature, which makes storage easier.
Cons: A bit heavy and bulky, but not unmanageable or uncomfortable. No in-line volume control (in fact, no controls of any kind).
Other Thoughts: We are using these in a testing lab for VoIP calling and multimedia p2p. They're working great for this purpose, very comfortable and no ambient distraction while they're on. Music purists may not find them on the acoustic cutting edge, but they're not bad for the price.

Pros: They fold up for traveling, good speaker quality, excellent microphone quality.
Cons: I was playing a game of Left 4 Dead with some friends. One of my friends made a really stupid maneuver and I smacked myself in the head, as if to say "Duh." I accidentally tapped my headphones in the process and they just snapped. One of the plastic joints broke. I was happy with them up until that point, but they are very delicate.
Other Thoughts: The noise canceling microphone was my favorite feature of the headphones. I got compliments on my sound quality pretty regularly. I just wish the headphones were stronger - I'd buy another pair, but I know I'd just end up breaking them again.

Not bad...
Reviewed By: EviLsLeePWaLkeR on 1/13/2010
Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: I've had these for a over a year now and they work just as well as they did when I pulled them out of the box. Soung quality isn't bad at all considering the price. I've thrown these in my chair a couple of times and forgot they where there and sat on them. A little Super Glue and they where as good as new. The mic quality is fine also. I'm told I sound much clearer using these than I do with my Altec Lansing boom mic, or my Logitech gaming headsets. The cord on these are nice and long too. Can't complain for $30.
Cons: They do tend to get a bit warm when wearing for an extended period of time. A little heavy after a while.
Other Thoughts: As for sound quality issues that some are having, a good sound card will fix that. At 75% these are head spliting loud. People accross the living room, 15 - 20ft. away, can hear anything said or any music being played word for word. Bass is good, but not perfect. Mid range and highs are fine also. All things considered they're a good budget headset.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: They work, decent mic quality and mediocre sound quality. A very strange sounding high end. Pretty comfortable. Nice long chord.
Cons: No adjustable volume on the headset itself. I would have expected more as far as mic and sound quality for the money I paid. The entire headset feels extremley cheap, I treat most of my gear very delicately so if your hard on your stuff, be warned, these won't last. The mic adjustment feels flimsy, I wouldn't be surprised if it broke in the next month or so. It's cheap plastic all around.
Other Thoughts: The headphones are able to twist up into a "compact" mode, this only confirms how poorly durable the headset is. The first pair I received didn't work at all, and it was two weeks before I got the replacement. Customer service was nice about it though. They tend to get warm and humid after about an hour of gaming. The mic holder constantly is falling down or waving from side to side. Please save your money and spend an extra ten or twenty dollars to get the Plantronics gaming headsets, you will save twenty four days of your life in doing so.
