I didn't know it came with such a long nasty cable with all those fixings that are NOT removable. I'm used to Turtle Beach headphones that have a cord from the headphones to the controller, and there's one thing at the end. I think if you have kids who want headphones with a mic these are a really good cheap pair and if anything happens to them it was cheap. To be honest, I didn't even try them because I knew the cable would bother me like hell while gaming. I didn't look at the photos in the reviews before purchasing, so it's my fault. But other reviews say they work great. So if you can overcome the bulkiness of a cord, these theses are great for you.
