I bought these mainly to do recordings/calls for jobs at home. From my experience as a gamer and working years at a call center, I would rate these above-average. The headphones are lightweight, they have plenty of padding for the head and ears, making them great for all-day sessions.The microphone is also serviceable. You're not going to get a ton of depth here and the background noise isolation is decent to block out whatever is happening in a room adjacent to you. I'll probably buy a small form mic cover at some point, which should improve clarity and isolation.The speaker quality on these headphones are also great for the price. I would place them below budget non-headset staples, like the Sennheiser 202, but that's just nitpicking. These speakers have less range, but good bass, and quality pads that won't make your ears get hot.Highly recommended for gamers who want something that isn't too generic or those who do a lot of online conferencing/recordings that is low-profile and has a good mic.
