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

I needed a reasonably priced headset that would provide quality audio for conference calls 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 could install the microphone for the right or left hand and whether the microphone couldn't 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 I still couldn't 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 the microphone needs to be readjusted when the computer is turned off or when the headset is turned off (regardless of whether the computer is turned off or on at the moment of turning off). The hand control is a bit sensitive. I accidentally bumped the volume up to 100 (up from a comfortable 14 for me) by holding the volume up button for too long. When you turn off the microphone, the headset lights up. The four blue "cobra eyes" that give the headset an interesting accent remain on as long as it's 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.
