Pros: The mic works wonderfully for Ventrilo and other voice programs, and the virtual surround sound is great for gaming.

Cons: The audio quality is not the greatest for listening to music or watching movies, but I don't think most people buy these with that in mind anyway.

Overall Review: I bought these even after reading reviews of "left ear died after a year" and so on, but I've owned my set for over two years now and have had no issues with them at all.

Pros: While they're working, they're wonderful. Mic comes through crystal clear on the other side, everyone is happy. Sound quality isn't the best, but I didn't buy them for that anyway.

Cons: They stop working randomly. And then windows refuses to recognize them for the first 20 times I plug them back in. Really, really annoying, and it happens often. Maybe it's a defective set and I'll have to get them replaced, but I've only owned them for two days now and it's happened six times.

Overall Review: Mic quality for this price is superb, sad to see it's discontinued.
