Revainrating 4 out of 5

Relatively good headset. Only buy on offer.

Not a bad headset, I think you basically pay for the looks which is fantastic but it's well worth it. The sound isn't weak, although I've definitely heard better. In fact, a basic pair of Audio Technica ath500 open-ear headphones will sound slightly better. I suspect it's due to the lower fundamental frequency combined with the open cases, but if you've got a decent sound card they're pretty much on par. When it comes to comfort they are good, although being fairly heavy doses this has some advantages. and disadvantages. The pros are that they are very durable and well built and will last a while. The downside is that they tire after prolonged use. Now we come to the microphone. ok, this mic isn't the best, although it can sound decent with effects. Also, it's detachable, which means you can replace it. Hooray! All in all, not a bad pair of cans when they're on sale. 4 stars. I wish Kingston would buy a mid-range anti-headset ie riders just add $15 to the label. A $100 pair from Audio Technica has excellent drivers with a wide frequency range, and I know for sure that even if you can't hear the bass and treble properly, you'll definitely feel it. Kingston, also try open-ear pairing for that wide soundstage.
