Looks cool but is a little warm. Minor issues setting up the microphone

I needed an inexpensive headset that would provide quality audio for conferences and video recording. They look good enough that I'm not embarrassed to be in front of the camera with them. This is my first gaming headset so I have no comparison either; I've had them for less than a week. I use it on a Windows 10 laptop. The microphone is on the left side and the headset is well padded; when ordering, i didn't notice whether you can adjust the microphone to the right or left hand and the microphone cannot be switched. With headphones, I can hear ambient noise without distracting them. My voice is clear with no distortion on the recorded videos, so the mic is good. I found my ears started to sweat after a short while, but I used them for over an hour on a conference call with no problems. They came with a driver CD but since I don't have a floppy drive on my laptop I couldn't use it. After searching for drivers on the SADES website I ended up on the Mediafire website when I clicked the download button for their drivers and could never find the correct drivers. After plugging them into a USB port, my computer set them up as generic USB audio. Device. The speakers worked out of the box, but using the Windows microphone setup utility was somewhat arbitrary. And sometimes you need to reconfigure the microphone when the computer is turned off or the headset is disconnected (regardless of whether the computer is off or on at the time of disconnection). The hand control is a bit sensitive. I accidentally increased the volume to 100 (14 was comfortable for me) by holding the volume up button for too long. When you turn off the microphone, the headset lights up. Adding an interesting accent to the headset, the four blue cobra eyes stay on while plugged into the USB port, even when the laptop is off or in sleep mode. Have them in your room, you don't need a night light! I'm not entirely sure I would buy them again and I'm still considering returning them as I have to reset the mic from time to time.
