Looks fantastic, I like the in ear mic and the sound quality is definitely better than the gold headset. The biggest item on my list of gold headsets is durability. Those stupid plastic hinges broke even with careful use on TWO gold headsets. I figured spending money on a better headset would be cheaper in the long run. The durability is remarkable, they are much better built. BUT they are also surprisingly uncomfortable. Whoever invented the bandage tried it on for 30 seconds and decided it deserved a raise. It would be more convenient to cut off the headband and build a wire. If I were to buy them now I would consider either padding or replacing the headband. A few months later I bought a Steelseries Arctis 7 (great headband) and gave it to my girlfriend who doesn't use a headset as often as I do. Also, my Arctis 7 headset has MUCH better connectivity, it works from anywhere in my apartment compared to this headset which occasionally clipped at any distance and lost signal completely at around 15ft.
