The headset is sort of like the free ones you get on an airplane (when you ride an airplane that gives you a free headset). It's light, and I could wear it for hours, I guess, but the earpads always feel like they are about to slip off my ears.

If you want to hang the microphone boom off of your right ear, then you are out of luck. It wouldn't have taken much engineering to allow the boom to rotate about 240 degrees so you could reverse the headset and talk out of the other side of your mouth. The microphone hangs from your left ear, and you have no option.

The sound in the ears is clear. The volume adjuster works really well. The microphone works well.

When I first got it, I loved it. Excellent sound quality, light weight and comfortable. A few weeks later, I lightly tugged on the wire not rough and the wire came out of the connector and the device died, I called tech support even though it was only a few weeks old, microsoft doesn't cover damage to the wires.

So I threw it away and bought another one. This one lasted 2 months then died. I was very careful with it it is just too delicate

CounterStrike online with live chat can be a rather disruptive environment for those around the player; the player is happy with the sound and mic's ability and the mother is happy with a bit less firepower ringing throughout the house. Packaging for shipping worked well (all in tact) and easy set up.

It's not that comfortable but does the job!! noise cancellation is average but not spectacular. over all average but not bad.

The sound quality was surprisingly good for a headset this cheap and the mic worked well, quite clear with little to no background noise picked up. The device itself is extremely weak though, I've had 2 of these and the first lasted 5 months and the second just 3 months. First just died randomly, and the second one the left ear just cut out, no wire damage either time, just stopped working one day both times.

The headset is very light and although this makes it good for long term wear, it doesn't sit well on your head and constantly feels like its slipping off.

The wire is very thin and not very well protected, although I didn't damage the wire at all, a friend got this at the same time I did for online play and one roll over with the chair and it was dead.

I would not recommend this to anyone though, for the price tag you get a quality product but don't expect it to last a long time. Weighed up over time a more expensive headset that lasts long is going to be better in the end.
