Pros: The best "pro" is the comfort. These headphones are so comfortable. I have had no problems with it heating up my ears and I live in east texas(hot and humid). The mic is pretty good. I havent had any problems with it. I'd say the mic sounds a little above average. Sound is a custom soundscape by steelseries ment for games. When you first open the box it smells like a pair of new shoes, lol. =]

Cons: It dose have bass!!! It's just probably not as much as most people would want with over the ear headphones. However, if your getting these for CS 1.6 or CSS you should know that heavy bass disrupts your ability to hear footsteps(ect.). The custom soundscape by steelseries also makes these seem a little odd at first when listening to music.

Overall Review: They are just as good as the basic 5H in my opinion. If your a cheapo that demands quality at the same time I'd tell you to get these. I'm not disappointed at all.
