5 out of 5 eggsExcellent product.

Pros: The sound quality is fantastic. It is comfortable to wear. Light weight. Fits my big head.

Cons: Be careful, with great power comes great responsibility; you cannot have an indestructible product of this weight/design for this price.
This is definitely not a brittle plastic but it is not as elastic as other plastics.

5 out of 5 eggsVery nice headset

Pros: - Comes with 2 sets of earphones, each with a different cushion material.
- Lightweight
- Fits well over larger heads like mine
- Does not seem to cause extra pressure on users with glasses
- Dolby Surround Sound
- Modular Microphone

Cons: None - but see Other

Other Thoughts: i do have a crack in the molding of the headset. I contacted Plantronics and they said to simply request a replacement through their web site. The Customer Service rep I spoke to was very kind, though i do not know why he did not simply facilitate the exchange with me directly. I am giving this headset 5 stars anyways as it looks like the crack was a issue in the molding process that perhaps evaded Quality Controls.

5 out of 5 eggsOutstanding headset.

Pros: * Excellent sound quality - these replaced a HyperX KHX-H3CLW that had fantastic sound quality but a dreadful mic. The sound quality in the Plantronics set is only a bit less than the HyperX set (empirically speaking, I don't have any measurements), but the mic is far better. Surround sound works great as well.

* Good mic - sound quality is excellent on the mic, you wouldn't use it to record vocals or anything, but sounds great in TeamSpeak.

* Comfort - most comfortable headset I've ever worn, hands-down. After a six-hour gaming session I can easily forget it's there.

Cons: Honestly haven't got any. I was prepared to hate another set of headphones after some terrible experiences previously, but this headset has been oustanding.

I suppose if I HAD to think of something here, it's that they do cost a bit, but they also came with a free copy of Battlefront which I gave to my husband so, I find it hard to call that a real "Con".

2 out of 5 eggsvery underwhelming

Pros: The build quality is ok but it is VERY light. i will commend them for that. but there is a problem with that (see cons)
cups feel great over the ears

Cons: I feel robbed. 150 bucks for headphones that should be 30 bucks. what did i pay for? the speakers in the headphones are bar non the worst ive ever owned. the 30 dollar (used to be 50) creative headphones sound much better than these at a 5th of the cost. I was so very surprised considering some of the things i read around the web. i figured id take a stab, free game right? ill happily return both, not worth 150 bucks by a long shot.

Other Thoughts: Avoid this product. i dont know why they feel they need to charge so much.... the build quality is that of a 50 dollar set of headphones, it feels very brittle. im sure its fairly durable, but its abs plastic. I have a very good sound card (imho). i have a soundblaster Z, and the razor headphones i got refurbed ages ago for approx 90 bucks has wayyyy better sound. the only reason i was trying to get new ones is the mic.... ill happily spend time now to fix my mic lol.

for reference, i keep my windows sound level between 5 and 8 % with my razors. i have to bump it up to nearly 40 (around 36) with these to get it to be at least close to the same volume. i have to kick my base up to 100% and i dont even get close to the base my razors put out at 30% (in creative control panel). at 100% my razors practically vibrate off my ears and is too loud lol. not trying to sell razor headphones, but seriously.

4 out of 5 eggsamazing headphones

Pros: You can hear everything with these headphones. The surround sound is smooth and crisp

Cons: I've been having a few mic issues. At times I would need to unplug the headset and plug it back in if I move the coord a little. Otherwise a great headset.
