My review :
- Sound quality for both gaming (voices) and music is pretty good. The bass is fairly deep (not crazily) but not at the level of a Bose quality set of QuietComforts. Saying that, it was definitely enough for what I was looking for. Surround sound also seems fairly decent! - Noise Cancellation is a very good! Can't hear any type of outside noises at all! Things such as my mechanical keyboard are very loud so if I can't hear that then they are doing pretty good! - They are pretty comfortable and secure on your head. My ears are pretty big and they fit in the cups if that's anyone's worry. I haven't worn them long enough yet to determine whether they place too much inwards force on the head (causing headaches) or if they make your ears hot, but they do feel fairly ventilated and roomy so I don't think that would be too much of an issue. After sufficient gaming time (+4 hours) I found these earphones to get fairly hot on my ears.
- Packaging and manual are fairly good. My headphones came undamaged so the packaging seemed to do well. - They were plug and play with my PC picking them up instantly as a USB audio device. There is one USB cable for both the speakers and mic. - Padding is very soft and pretty comfortable for my liking! - Cabling is a good length (looks around 2.5m) and the control on the cable is well-made with many useful features. There is a clip on the control which could be helpful as it does feel a little heavy maybe for some people; for me though it was no issue. I could see how you could move the dials on the control accidentally causing the volume to go down/up or mute the mic etc. but this may occur very rarely. Sorry if I've missed any key aspects (think I've got them all), but overall I feel these are a very solid headset for the price! I've had a fair share of headsets from HyperX, Corsair, Turtle Beach and I can confidently say this is probably on par or even better than them all! Like I said they ain't as good as Bose level headphones but that is pretty obvious considering they are designed for game chatting along with them being like 200£+ cheaper.
