Crosstalk teamspeak11/23/2023 ![]() I read many of the reviews for this headset and a few compared this headset to the Turtle Beach x12. With the build quality and such high use by my part, I expect a 1.5-2 year life, without real problems. ![]() And headsets are always more expensive than getting the mic and headphone septate. Anything labeled "gaming" is overpriced for what it is. You'll save money and have better sound and better mic. But really, if you want affordable good sound, just get the Sony MDR-7506 or better yet a pair of MDR V6 if you can find a legit one in decent condition. In retrospect, should've gotten the Siberia V2s. Update: a couple years later and they've totally fallen apart. Probably won't happen to anybody with a smaller/normal sized head. The back edges of my ears and my temples hurt for a little bit at first, but after I broke them in that doesn't happen any more. Doesn't hurt the top of my head after long hours. Important to note that I got it from the Amazon Warehouse used. Super glued the seem and now it holds better than before. I've had them for a while and wear them while doing chores. ![]() The seem of the head band in the back towards both the left and right ends started to split, but it doesn't effect the comfort or function of the headset. A little small for me since I have a big head, but the elastic band on top has loosened over time. While the product does an excellent job with sound, the highs are crystal clear, the base is not boomy and mid-range is very good, its comfort level is marginal at best, which is the reason I bought them in the first place. Knowing the direction, left or right is very distinct even with the sound mixer volume very low at 14. The snap of twig, boots crunching on gravel, the snap of a rifle shot as examples. I play allot of combat simulations and I have to know where a potential threat is coming from. Sound isolation is very good, its so good that the world could end and you wouldn't even know it. When I removed the cover, which is porous and is on all headphones with microphones, my voice was no longer muffled. The Microphone has a sponge like cover over the tip which I had to remove as people on Teamspeak, Ventrillo, Mumble and a few other voice servers said my voice was muffled. Then the next time you go to use them, you won't hear a thing and go crazy trying to figure out why. When removing the headphones its quite easy to accidentally move this switch to the mute position and not even know you did it. Mute Switch is located near the top of the left ear cup. Volume has to be adjusted using the sound mixer built into the Windows Operating System. ( no I don't have huges ears, 3 inches tall by 1.25 inches ) The result is the pad presses on my ear squeezing the arm of my glasses between my ear and my head. I got these headphones to resolve the comfort issues and while they can be worn longer they are still not soft enough and the opening oo the ear is not large enough for my ear to fit in side. However, headphones that sit on your ears allow you to hear things, like the phone, someone at the door, people talking to you. ![]() These head phones replaced my old Logitech headphones because the Logitech sat on my ears and were very uncomfortable after a few hours. Anyone that wears glasses will attest to the fact that no matter how large an ear cup is, its never large enough or soft enough to be worn for any length of time.
