This is my second time purchasing these headphones. I bought the same exact headphones under a different brand name on Amazon over 2 years ago. The sound quality was great. They were very comfortable even through long periods of use. The braided cord was very nice quality. Everything was great other than the lower quality finish on the padding which was now falling off in little bits that would stick on my head. But what can you expect from this price point? They worked better than expected for 2.5 years. I found the value very good.For that reason, I decided to buy the same headset again. Unfortunately, this time around the microphone volume is very low. While the old headset records at a volume that shows 30-40% on the Windows microphone test, the new one only tests between 5-10%. My friends never had issues hearing me with the old headset. Now if the microphone is more than a finger's width from my lips and I'm not talking louder than normal, I cannot be heard. Very disappointed in thatGreat product for $ 30, Play games, watch movies with 7.1 surround sound, and when you want to listen to DJ music, you can unplug the USB plug and just plug in the separate 3.5mm plug to plug into the socket 3.5mm on computer, it is suitable for listening to music. that's how i use it.Thanks to the large earcup design, it doesn't hurt when listening to it for a long time like other products I've heard, on the head there is an elastic band, so there is no headache when wearing it for a long time to listen.I am very satisfied with this headset after using it for a while.I never write reviews because it’s usually a waste of time.However… this is different. This is the best gaming headset on the planet at only $30ish bucks. Let’s talk about the cool that will keep working even after loaning it to your 11 year old. The darn things are nearly indestructible. The foam ear covers that will have you shouting WHAT? a foot from the person talking to you are MAGNETIC not glued. You can’t wear down or rip the rubber ear muffs. They come right off and snap back into place. That’s right, no more trying to work the rubber back into place.My 11 year old often falls asleep next to the headset (despite my attempts to get him to hang them on the hook I mounted just inches away from him). He rolls over them, tangles them, and never ever unplugs them from the controller. I bought three similarly priced headsets that all were destroyed within three weeks when one of the speakers failed because the cord had suffered too much trauma. Not one of these headsets I’ve purchased has had this problem. The only way he was able to break one was by stepping on the jack while it was half way plugged in to the controller, which didn’t break off, but was damaged to the point where the upper ring would no longer make contract. I refused to return them for a refund because I want to make this headset rise from number 28 to number 1 (that’s how much time and money I’ve wasted on its competitors).Oh you want to talk about sound quality? Check out the speaker’s manufacturing details. A DJ reviewed these headsets that I read before purchase. He claimed that he threw out his old DJ headset because this set provided better sound quality. He wasn’t lying. You’ll be mad at yourself if you have a $300 pair of headphones, or even a $150, because the sound reproduction quality is that clean and balanced.I could go on. Many reviews will tell you that there is a 7.1 adapter that is different from other earphones. It is very powerful and can turn your earphones into 7.1 channels. There are five buttons on it, including microphone mute, volume and light control.I could go on about how the metal frame makes it impossible to break the headband, and reshaping a sat-on headset a 30 second affair gosh there’s so much about these things that are good…In conclusion, if you buy another headset three or four times the cost of these, you might as well set your money on fire in the middle of a July heatwave.Buy now before the market realizes how underpriced these things are. YEEGER is the rightful heir to the throne, and he will slaughter that fat bloated king who demands your entire paycheck for two weeks of game play before they break.My son had me try his out one night. Very impressed with them and for the price? I have a $200 head set and this brand is WAY better than mine.I am so glad I found these headphones on Amazon. I would give these headphones 10 Stars if I could. I base that assessment on the sound quality and the price. I DJ and I use very expensive Sony and Denon headphones. These headphones cost $200 retail. I can turn them up so loud that I have to take them off my head because it's too loud and they won't break. These headphones for $30 are very comparable but the sound quality is better. The drivers that are used in these produce super clear sound. Not only that the way that each headphone is made with a large cavity, they produce very good base. Then the comfort just takes these over the top. The cushions on these headphones are so soft and I could wear them for hours. The first thing I did to test them was plugged them into my PC and play some music through them. I was blown away with how clear the sound was and this is using the onboard video from my PC and not a sound card. I turn them up as loud as they would go with the volume on my PC and they did not distort one bit. The microphone quality is very good. He's really add a lot of depth and quality to a gaming experience. I literally hid them in a cabinet because I don't want my 16-year-old son to try them because then he's going to want to pair because they smoke his pair I've had phones. I really like the retro nostalgic look of these headphones as well. Man, if you're looking for a really good pair of headphones even just to play music on, I highly recommend these! Buy them now! He will be very happy that you did period trust me. I know that if I ever break my DJ headphones I will not buy another pair and just use these. I could buy six pairs of these for the price I paid for one of my DJ headphones.Over all a great well thought out headset that i could see myself buying again.
