I've had Turtle Beach Stealth 600 headphones for the past two years. They worked great, but like all electronics, they started to fail. I didn't have a lot of money to throw away a new headset, but I found this one. There was a different feeling around the ears at first but I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and it's a fantastic headset. Amazing sound quality, cool lighting and a pretty comfortable headset. If you keep the wires folded as they come out of the box, you usually don't notice them.
